Heather Perry drilled a hole in her head with an electric drill to achieve a higher state of consciousness.


Heather Perry had dropped a lot of acid before deciding that trepanation (drilling a hole in her head) would lead to a higher level of consciousness, more mental energy and clarity.

Her first attempt with a hand trepan didn't prove successful, so the second attempt was with an electric drill.

Heather says, I injected myself with a local anaesthetic and then slashed a big T-shaped incision in my scalp, right down to the bone. I was sat there in the bathroom feeling quite relaxed and they started with the drill. It didn't take that long at all, probably about 20 minutes.

Something definitely happened after the operation. There was a shifting around of fluids, and I felt an intense sense of peace and relaxation. It was a little bit trippy in that nice shiny sort of way. If I were to compare it to drugs it would be like acid mixed with some kind of opiate. It certainly seemed to help with mental clarity and overall well-being, and I remember that feeling lasting for quite a while.

Don't try this at home!
