of returning to the body even flashed through my mind, but I
was able to overcome it, and immediately concentrated on
the goals that I had set: treating high blood pressure,
conducting an experiment on the viscosity of fluids, and some
items of fun to improve my mood.
I opened the door of my wardrobe, which in reality
contained a box of medicines. I looked for the drug that was
to help me lower my blood pressure or at least make it easier
to deal with my condition. Delving into the package, I took
out the various tubes of ointments, packages, and spraycans, peering at them in order to maintain the phase. I also
tried to figure out what the medicines were, and whether or

It took some time, as for 15 to 20 seconds I couldn't find

needed to do something to keep it from being over. Instead of
letting that happen, I bent down and covered my face with
my hands.
Suddenly, a strange wave of unusual sensations coursed
through my body. My head and entire face started to fill up
with blood, causing swelling in my lips, nose, cheeks, and
eyelids. It goes without saying that this was an unpleasant
sensation. It was more than unusual. This was especially true
of the sensations I felt inside my head. It was as if it were
heating up and expanding. I figured at that point that I had
done something wrong.
As soon as I thought that, I felt as if a balloon filled with
cold water had burst in my head. Here the heat turned to
cold, and my head and body "decompressed" back down to
size. I felt an uncommon lightness and freshness inside. I had
the sensation of having tapped a new reserve of strength and
life-energy.
In order to not have to search for that blue bottle again,
I set it on the right corner of the lower shelf. Afterwards, I
