Easiest mystical experiences that one can have?

[InterruptReQuest]

I was curious about the different mystical experiences that one can have, and I was wondering which ones are easiest to experience (without psychedelics since they are not an option for everyone)?

@Leo Gura thus is the essence of Tantra. He’s onto something with this though. Every experience you have is mystical. It’s just a question of degree. Eating a cookie is mystical. Getting your toe cut off is mystical.

@InterruptReQuest There are indeed multiple facets to experience you can penetrate and have mystical highs from, or that you grasp with an insight. But there is no objective categorisation of such a thing.

Everyone will rationalise and explain what they experienced in their idiosyncratic way. We will each have our own stories and narratives as/after it's happened. All sorts of shit and narratives get projected onto mystical experiences. I think all people interested in this work should take the time to reflect and unravel their psychology and beliefs. 

I could give my own story about how "no free will" and no-self was my first mystical experience, but that makes no difference to someone else if they hear it.


As for methods. Just what everyone on this forum talks about. Meditation, yoga, etc.

Rupert Spira made a comment once which made sense to me. I forget the details, but the gist was that for most people, nondual experiences are beauty and love. Beauty is when you forget yourself in something impersonal, like some art, or nature like a beautiful sunset. Love is when your ego merges or expands into another person. Basically you realise the boundaries of self are relative, change according to the situation, not fixed to your individuality.

Try this. It’s likely the sacral chakra and solar plexus (at the least) will be that direct mystical experience. ‘Dial into’ that, and ‘bridge it’ or ‘extend it’ with / via feeling outwardly from the stomach area to throughout the entire body, and in continuing to maintain awareness / presence of the feeling, continue outward beyond the body. Might not hallucinate per se, but you might have a deep sense this is a hallucination.
