Advice

My first time sitting with DMT was ceremonial with open minded intentions. I had an interesting experience to say the least. It felt as though my consciousness was falling through a checkered swirled black and white tunnel and landed in a space. The space reminded me of a cartoon book but consisted only of a giant pyramid with an eye in the center looking at me. There was energy radiating from around it. I was admiring its power and its eye illuminated and I felt like it shocked me. Eventually that space begin to fade and I felt like I was in a dark space and felt like someone was walking in a circle around me. Then finally I was back to reality. Since this experience every single time I had sit with DMT weather in ceremony or by myself I have had a very similar experience and this is where I need some opinions of those more experienced. I’m going to say at least 10-15 times sitting with DMT I don’t exactly think I had a breakthrough. Maybe this is what’s explained as the holding room? I go to a very geometric visual space where the visuals look very familiar to me and they are similar each time. I have not experienced anything other than these geometric spaces since my first time. Is there something I need to do or change to have a different experience? I shared my first experience with the facilitators of the ceremony and didn’t get much feedback. I felt like my experience was magical compared to some that I have heard about. Part of me wonders if somehow they have put an energetic block on me and if that’s a real thing how can I break free to explore the hyperspace again. Thanks for any advice or thoughts.

Hello you!

If you have placed your trust in someone else to facilitate in a ceremony, I would respect whatever they offer and be thankful. If they are not giving a good vibe, a bad mojo, then don't return. If they are good people and still you think they are blocking you, then it may be your own projections.

Take your time with it all. Go at your own pace. Developing a healthy relationship with the molecule should be the long term goal with DMT, imo. A breakthrough dose should not be ultimate goal, I think it just gets in the way of experiencing some pretty amazing sub-threshold doses. I have had absolutely amazing experiences with sub-threshold doses. Maybe you are blocking yourself just by having the breakthrough dose in your mind as the intent.

If you really want that breakthrough dose, smoalk moar.

Yeah I kind of think maybe I got in my own head. There’s been some other reasons as to why I wondered about the block with the people but I do sit with the molecule with intentions and respect. I have had some lower dose experiences. I do believe I have a high tolerance for whatever reason. I feel like at this point I need to just enjoy the experience of wherever the molecule takes me.

I have experienced repeatedly getting to the same place and feeling blocked from going farther. This happened to me in a couple of different waves, for two different reasons.

One wave of this was because of getting pretty scared of facing something on a journey, and subsequent sessions my mind did what it could to prevent something it maybe couldn't handle at the time.

The other wave of feeling blocked had something to do with a batch of spice that had something "off". I did re-x and things vastly improved.

Your situation may or may not be related to one of the above scenarios - do your best to tune into what the spice is trying to show you, I bet you'll figure it out. Good Luck!

Thanks for sharing. I’ve used a friends and my own so maybe I’ll consider a new batch and see what happens. I do have a lot going on in my life currently that I’m working through so it’s possible fear is getting in my way. I will keep enjoying and trusting the journey. It really helps hearing from other people’s experiences and getting some input. It’s not something you can just chat with anyone about.

Something that maybe could help is to have harmalas beforehand. You can have them sublingually. I've found them to be very calming before a trip, removing a lot of fear and worry and making me feel "protected". And of course they potentiate DMT. So less fear + more potency could be helpful in this case.
