How To Use Exercise To Release Endorphins While Using The Runners High

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Is there an exercise which will help the body produce enough endorphins to get the runners high? Whiles it is true that exercise will do just that, the main question is there one method that can actually give you the runners high? I mean an “endorphins exercise program”?

The answer is yes there is. However what is this high that exercise tends to occasionally delivers a high? The runners high is a feeling where you experience feelings of intense mindlessness and joy. It is a state of euphoria. The hormone responsible for this are called endorphins. Endorphins are hormones that the body tends to excrete or release in the course of and immediately after an exercise session. It has drug like or morphine like properties which makes you feel high This phenomenon is usually experienced during extended or lengthy runs and that is why it is called the “runner’s high”-this is an euphoric experience that runners get 30 to 40 minutes into a run. The runners high for most is a myth. Runners hear about it but very few experience it first hand. The reason why it is so elusive is that it is not an objective feeling and it is an experience that cannot be experienced or called at will

The purpose for that is that the runners high is not a physical phenomenon , it is made of physical, spiritual and mental knowledge and developing it depends on a balance of all three attributes. In fact all these three elements are in fact one. This can only be seen when the ego is negated and there is no ego to record the phenomenon of the runners high. That is why when we look for it we cannot get it. The looking for the runners high involves the strengthening of the ego which has a tendency to prevent the release of exercise endorphins which causes the runners high.

So by far the very best and beneficial exercise for producing endorphins is the sport of running. However we need to explore strategies to aid us in weakening the ego. The fact is the runners high is directly related to the absence of the ego

Many people use meditation as a way to get the runners high but meditation is not good enough. The reason for this is that during meditation you tend to forget the ego or self and the runners high is then achieved, the problem is that meditation cannot be controlled by the ego and so it tends to be random as well. Meditation after all tends to involve the use of the mind to meditate. With meditation there must be a meditator, meditating and meditation but this run contrary to what is needed for the runners high to occur.

So is there a way to weaken the ego? The very best strategy to weaken the ego is to become conscious or aware of one’s surroundings. You should grow to be aware as you run. The fact is most runners run on autopilot and are unconscious as they run. This means their run is mechanical and ego driven. To get the runners high it is advisable to run like a child. Run without using your head, logic or the ego. And to accomplish this you need to run without an objective in mind. Then and only then will the runners high be reached. If you look at children you will see that they run loosely, they have no method to their runs and so it is mindless. If you run this way the runner high will be at your calling

The Runners High And Why You Get It

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

The runners high can be a myth. Most persons say it truly is formed by endorphins that are released when the entire body reaches an exhaustive state. Mentally this high feeling is filled with feelings of euphoria and an intense pleasurable sensation. Most people equate this to having an orgasm during sex

The runners high is not an objective experience you can duplicate at will. It truly is a hit and mss system that runners tend to get when they run more than thirty to forty minutes a go and that is why I write. I believe this state can be reached with the right understanding and tools

The runner’s high is achieved once you forget yourself, should you have ever attained this state of being you will note that it really is never observed or experienced until after the fact, meaning this runners high is nothing but a memory that the ego or mind wants more and more off. It truly is a bit like driving a car at night when you are tired. Remember when you last drove when you were tired , do you recall that you moved from desired destination A to B but you never really remembered until you arrived at you destination. I mean you drove without the mind or the ego being there. At this time you do not know how you drove yet you seemed to have made the right lane changes, stopped at the red lights and when you get to your destination you say “how did I get there”. The fact is that you drove but there was no driver

With this running state the same rules applies. You only know you had a runners’ high after the fact and not during and the reason for this is the absence of the ego or mind.

So to get this state you have to locate means to neglect the ego. The word method is a contradiction in itself due to the fact the act of forgetting the ego requires an ego to forget. It is much like the man who is trying to sleep; if he is trying he can’t sleep. There has to become a forgetter who wishes to forget and this stops the runners high.

So it is advisable to uncover means to make the ego weak. The ego can be forgotten by being aware during a run. If you are aware of your run and involve all the senses in the ruin you will get rid of the mind and the runner’s high will be achieved.

A superb way to try and do it is to concentrate on the sky; glazing or staring at a limitless sky will involve the senses and bring your mind to a weak point where it will temporarily cease to exist. you must make sure that you do not focus on the clouds or on an object inside sky, just look deep in and through the clouds with no goal in mind , make use of all of your senses when you stare at the sky. When you do this the central observer with its thoughts and the mind will likely be taken out and you will be ready to achieve the runners high which so many people are so desperate to achieve

The other common solution is to meditate but again meditation is a poor way of achieving the high as it involves the use of meditator or ego to meditate
