bindu suspension

A special form of catalepsis, self-induced.


Suspending oneself in hibernation, controlling pregnancies, and besting others in hand-to-hand combat are just some of the bodily abilities the Bene Gesserit women in Frank Herbert’s science fiction novel Dune (1965) unlock through their rigorous prana-bindu training.


Bindu suspension is the self-induced, drastic slowing of one's metabolism through control of one's nervous system.
