Before I start, I think it’s important to say: don’t try this yourself!
That said, I love this collection of images documenting outdoor suspensions - yes, the summer is finally here! Body suspension is a ritual in which people are hung by meat hooks through their flesh. Each suspended person experiences different results from the activity, which is said to take you to another spiritual plain.
I agree with the source, in that I find this process a lot more spiritual when taking place in the woods, so much so that I am tempted to try it one day soon.
