'''Tactile disconnection''' can be defined at lower to moderate doses as a disconnection from the physical senses which is only partial in its effects. This creates a number of changes in a person's perception of the physical body which generally include:
'''Physical disconnection''' can be described as the experience of feeling distant and detached from one's sense of ownership and control over their own physical body. This leads into states such as [[tactile suppression]], [[physical autonomy]], [[pain relief]], [[changes in felt bodily form]], a [[perception of bodily lightness]] and a general array of physical suppressions. The experience of this effect can also create a wide range of subjective changes to a person's perception of their own body. These are described and documented in the list below:


*Feeling as if your body is not your own
*Feeling as if one's body is not your own
*Feeling as if your body is performing its physical actions autonomously and on its own accord
*Feeling as if one's body is controlling itself
*A partial loss of tactile input or general bodily numbness and anaesthesia
*Feeling as if one's body is distant and far away
*A partial loss of fine and gross motor control
*Feeling a decrease in one's ability to use fine motor control
*Feeling a decrease in one's ability to use their sense of touch


At higher dosages, this disconnection of the physical senses makes the transition from partial to entirely all-encompassing. This results in a complete disconnection from one's own body and full-blown anaesthesia which is accompanied by a total [[motor control loss|loss of motor control]]. Once this happens, the tripper will find themselves in a catatonic state with an inability to perform even the simplest of physical tasks.
Physical disconnection is nearly universal under the influence of moderate to heavy dosages of [[dissociative]] compounds such as [[ketamine]], [[MXE]] and [[DXM]]. The state it induces is also often complemented by the simultaneous experience of [[consciousness disconnection|cognitive disconnection]] and [[visual disconnection]], which results in the sensation that one is partially or completely detaching from both their sensory input and their cognitive faculties.

Physical disconnection can be described as the experience of feeling distant and detached from one's sense of ownership and control over their own physical body. This leads into states such as tactile suppression, physical autonomy, pain relief, changes in felt bodily form, a perception of bodily lightness and a general array of physical suppressions. The experience of this effect can also create a wide range of subjective changes to a person's perception of their own body. These are described and documented in the list below:

  • Feeling as if one's body is not your own
  • Feeling as if one's body is controlling itself
  • Feeling as if one's body is distant and far away
  • Feeling a decrease in one's ability to use fine motor control
  • Feeling a decrease in one's ability to use their sense of touch

Physical disconnection is nearly universal under the influence of moderate to heavy dosages of dissociative compounds such as ketamine, MXE and DXM. The state it induces is also often complemented by the simultaneous experience of cognitive disconnection and visual disconnection, which results in the sensation that one is partially or completely detaching from both their sensory input and their cognitive faculties.
