It seems that the mushrooms really put to work immediately in this way. I saw everything a little differently since. A big problem for me has always been stress and fear. I feel that these ceremonies opened this so called new "room", a space, if you will, in my consciousness which allows me to approach things differently. I started being conscious of the stressors in my life, of all the things I have been doing which do not serve a purpose to me or anyone else. I've calmed down with every aspect of my life in which I've been putting too much effort into, and for all the wrong reasons. Focus is something I am now able to practice.

The actual effect SEEMS so subtle. Nothing mind blowing with the conscious mind. However, I feel so very thankful for the plants and for everything!

Let's just say it was the first step to "grounding" myself to who I really am. The "theme" which came up a lot before and after the ceremonies in discussion was that of "rooting" oneself, as if to start with the root chakra.
