Over the years i have develloped a maybe weird sort of habit with psychedelics. It is something that may seem reckless or somewhat risky to some people. I know that i would have considered it that way when i just started to experiment with higher doses of ayahuasca, ten years ago.
I take a psychedelic substance, or mixture of psychedelic substances, in a dose that is high enough for everyday reality to start melting away, but not so high that it completely immobilises me. A dose where, when you close your eyes, you are totally submerged in another world, and when you open them, that other world is already starting to spill over into the normal world pretty energetically. But without completely overtaking it.
And then, in the middle of the night, i take a walk outside. Alone. I walk through the forest. Without any plan of where to go. I just go walking. Outside, in a state where it may seem challenging even, not to get lost in my own house.
When i just started to experiment with ayahuasca, and higher doses of shrooms, LSD or mescaline, the thought alone would have terrified me.
And i must admit that there is still the feeling of risk sometimes. Fear, a little bit of paranoia.
But that isn't realy a bad thing perse. It helps making what is essentially no more than a long walk through the woods, feel like a mystic adventure, an epic journey, a great, spiritual quest.
I don't know what you people think about this. Some of you will maybe think i'm a wimp for having been afraid to do this in the first place. Others may think i'm behaving irresponsibly and that all of this is asking for trouble.
But i realy, realy, realy love doing it. And i also believe that it has a very positive psychological effect on me. A confronting-your-fears kind of thing.
Anyway, i wanted to share this with you because it realy means a lot to me, and i would even say that for me nowadays, this is my absolute favorite way of enjoying psychedelics.
There is nothing that makes me feel rejuvenated like this.
