What are the Symptoms of Void State?

Although people who do void state have different experiences, they have some common characteristics. We compile all these and present them to you:

1. Mental Symptoms

a) Stopping the Flow of Thought

• The ever-present “inner voice” of the mind is felt to be completely silent or very slowed down.
• Thoughts are allowed to come and go but are not stuck.
• This is characterized by a feeling of “being in a vacuum” or “not thinking about anything”.

b) Loss of Time Perception

• Awareness of the passage of time may be lost.
• Minutes may feel like hours or hours like minutes.
• The concepts of past and future become irrelevant, there is only a stay in the “now” moment.

c) Loss of Ego or Weakened Sense of Identity

• The sense of “I” weakens; one feels isolated from one’s body and personal identity.
• It can be felt as one with a wider consciousness or universal energy.

d) Feeling of Deep Calm and Peace

• There is an extraordinary calmness of mind and emotions.
• This state of tranquility creates a state of complete freedom from worry, fear or confusion.

2. Physical Symptoms

a) Feeling of Lightness or Weight

• It may be noticed that the body feels too light or too heavy.
• These feelings can lead to a sense that the boundaries of the body are disappearing or expanding.

b) Feeling as if the body does not exist

• The presence of the physical body may not be felt or it may feel detached from the body.
• Hands, feet or other limbs may become completely numb or feel as if they are filled with non-existent energy.

c) Sensation of Energy Flow or Vibration

• Light vibrations, tingling or energy waves are felt in the body.
• These sensations can be particularly intense in the palms of the hands, the crown of the head (crown chakra) or the spine.

d) Deep and Slow Breathing

• The breathing process automatically slows down and becomes deeper.
• The breath becomes unconsciously controlled and breathing becomes a meditative rhythm.

3. Mental Symptoms

a) Sense of Unity and Integrity

• One feels part of the universe and perceives a connection with everything.
• The feeling of “becoming one with all existence” or “merging with the essence of everything” is common.

b) Expansion of Consciousness

• There is a sense of expansion, limitlessness or infinite emptiness at the level of consciousness.
• It can result in a feeling of being part of a larger energy field or collective field of consciousness.

c) Sense of Deep Wisdom or Inspiration

• It is felt to be filled with an inexplicable wisdom or understanding.
• It is common to suddenly find answers to previously unsolved problems or gain insights into the meaning of life.

d) Feeling of Intense Love or Gratitude

• There is a deep sense of love and gratitude for everything.
• This feeling of love can be directed towards oneself, others or the universe.

4. Emotional Symptoms

a) Emotional Neutrality and Balance

• During the Void State, emotions are felt as temporary and insignificant.
• Emotions such as joy, sadness, anger are observed as numb.

b) Momentary Bursts of Emotion

• Some people may feel a sudden intensification of feelings such as deep happiness or peace during the Void State.
• Especially at the end of the trance process there may be an intense feeling of love or peace.

c) Absence of Fear or Worry
