The Lexicon

The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Practices

Suspension

The practice of supporting the body wholly off the ground with rope, chain or similar means.

Definition

Suspension refers to rope or hardware bondage in which the body is fully lifted from the ground and supported entirely by the rigging. It involves complex load management, careful hardware selection and continuous attention to circulation and nerve health.

Discussion

This practice generally requires advanced education, informed consent, appropriate risk awareness and should not be approached without adequate knowledge and preparation.
