Suspension?

Question

This word has been dragging it's feet through my mind all month. I'm starting to really want to try this out. Suspension being pierced through the skin with hooks and suspended in the air.To me, if feels like both a mental and physical test. I like the idea of knowing how far I can take aspects of my life to. I imagine it can/will be painful. I'm leaning more to the suicide/crucifixion suspension. So does anyone have any experience or anything to contribute constructively. Maybe some possible risks. Anything at all is appreciated

Answer 1

I just dont understand this and yea it might be outta my league.. as far as i see it the reality is that you want to do this to explore the depths the possibilities, the thrill its energy and a lot of other things.. but the way i look at it is if you do this then youll be thinking of doing something more painful. Is it pain that some people really desire. When you do that then what.. yea you might get a thrill out of it but that would leave you empty for wanting more because you will not really know "how far your aspects of life can go" until you end up in the hospital or die...and even if you do manage to experience the level you can hit then what? Its like saying i get a thrill out of stealing so you steal and steal until you get locked up... and usually their is no way out of it because you have programmed your mind to that thrill and all you want to do is that - so when you cant do it anymore or youre too used later what then ?but if you stop it beforehand and maybe find something that wont harm your body it would be different

I used to know someone that used to take ecstasy all the time and then his spinal fluids drained so much that he is now paralyzed for life and has to use a wheel chair .. now what / he cant even do the e anymore and he is paralyzed... whats with people trying to hit the other dimension when they dont know themselves / no offence / and this iam sure is not a way of knowing ourselves

if it's done within a group of practiced professionals, there's little to worry about - everything will be clean and sterile, and by all accounts it's an amazing mental and physical experience. there are groups around that do this. no-one's ever died from it, the worst that could happen is that skin might tear, but that's fairly rare. and it's apparently not at all as painful as you'd imagine

Answer 3

I believe that the only real risk would be an infection, or you actually stay up there and die from exaustion, or dehydration. But you should research something this dangerous more thoroughly before you actually do it.

Answer 4

Don't do it. Here are the reasons why:
1. You can't ever undo it.
2. You may die. Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell?
3. Don't ever hurt yourself on purpose. God says that our body is His temple and if you destroy your body God's temple will be destroyed.
4. You may get infected.
5. Why put yourself into pain?
6. What's the doctor bill going to cost? A lot right?

I think that if you can think reasonably, you can make a very long list as to why you shouldn't. Please don't do it. You'll only hate yourself after you've done it.
