New Sensory Deprivation Technique: Blindfolding

In this podcast, Michael describes the experience of blindfolding oneself as a form of sensory deprivation. They explain that this technique can be quite challenging, as it requires one to function without the use of sight. However, they say that it can be a rewarding experience if done properly. Two people are discussing the experience of being blindfolded. They mention that it is important to use an eye patch that will block out all light, and that it is possible to make your own eye patch if you cannot find one that is comfortable. They also mention that it is important to prepare your home before you begin the experience, by removing anything sharp or delicate that you might trip on. They say that the first thing most people notice is how difficult it is to get around without sight. They mention that you may begin to feel great compassion for those who are blind, but that you should not let your guilt consume you.
