Exploring the neuroscience of altered states, this post reveals how impact play can quiet the mind, heighten presence, and open a pathway to emotional release and transformation that last even after the scene ends.

This post explores how individual biology, personality and situational factors shape altered states in impact play, emphasizing that a Giver can guide and support - but never fully control - another person’s unique experience.

This post explores how rhythm, repetition and meaningful focus in impact play guide attention, enabling participants to enter altered states where pain transforms into deep sensory and emotional immersion.
