BASE Jumping ?....but to be serious as a great man once said
"Anything that can be done chemically can be done by other means."
I have tried a little meditation but I think you really will need to join a group with an experienced teacher to get the best from it.
I've decided to take up Tai Chi and went to meet with the teacher last week, I'm not really looking for a high in anyway, I'm more interested in connecting with myself and finding some inner calm and mental disciplines.
you have the internet right there in front of you id you want to do mediation just type in your area and "meditation classes" and there you go, oddly theses things seem to some and find you, the Tai Chi classes where being advertised somewhere where I had to pick up my daughter and I have been looking into to it for some time. Equally the classes were on the net.
I believe what you and we all really seek is enlightenment another beautiful quote I just found:-
“
One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.”
Start looking and you will start making that path, don't concentrate on euphoria, that is nothing more than a distraction, I believe once you start to find some inner peace (enlightenment if you like) your path becomes clearer or at least you walk it without having to look for it, but it is you that has to start, stop being a "(recovering)drug addict" today, just don't be one anymore. You are you and a perfect, the only example of you, unique in everyway and beautiful in every way.
I'm a long way from any of the things I have said you can't write or read yourself to enlightenment IMO but make a start in whatever way you feel is best and move on forward from that point.
I'll stop ow its early and I'm rambling
