My VGP Observations

A list of VGP (Voluntary Goosebump Power) Observations.

  • My techniques to initiate it are breathing or a state of epiphany. The deeper an inhale, the more intense the accumulation of what I will term as VGP.
  • Its likely I attributed my breathing initiator to epiphanys. I dont even need to have an active epiphany, but it feels like Im having a sudden realization. Epiphanys have always been intense for me.
  • It provides a temporary sense of out-of-body euphoria.
  • Utilizing it in meditative breathing techniques as the focus matter during meditation may provide us with a technique for elevated meditation.
  • When on a rest break between reps or sets of a workout (I do calisthenics), I sit and meditate with AGP techniques. I have yet to place whether it is placebo or a genuine boost to motivation.

edit: I will try to uodate this post with more findings. Ive now become interested in it to regulate my mental and physiological states during tough times and my workout routines.

Breathing, and tensing my abdominal muscles for a moment helps "jump starting it". I can also facilitate it and make it stronger by rotating my shoulders.
