A warm hello to all of you!

I am a 22 year old male with a curiosity for exploration, be it new cities, countries
and continents or such things like religion, spirituality and psychedelic experience.
At the moment i am coming down from a rather pleasant experience with the spice and decided
that it was the perfect time to join nexus (as I've been eying you guys for a little while - what a pervert, is probably what comes to mind ;))!
I have to say that DMT has changed my, life in wondrous way - thanks to this molecule, i received the needed push to pursue my dream of becoming an astrophysicist. I got myself together, took care of my grades and was welcomed with open arms into the arts & science department at UofT. I became more aware of my surroundings, as if i was on the same frequency with all of the plants, birds and wildlife. I was once again happy and satisfied.

Two years have passed, my father being a nice man that he is, bought us a kilogram of Acacia Confusa and went on to extract the wonderful spice. As there was plenty of it, i decided to try a little bit yesterday in order to greet an old friend. Sadly, he (she or even maybe, it) was having none of it and completely denied my entry into hyperspace by bestowing my body with violent shakes. Thankfully my lovely cat was nearby (she is our avid trip sitter, per se. Countless hours she spent by my side while i was exploring Mushrooms, Ibogaine, Lsd and some other wondrous sacraments), she began
walking around me, meowing and purring - trying to get me comfortable and as always it worked the shakes subsided and i was free (she saved me a few times before when i had rough entries into hyper space, although those times involved the use of large doses of Mushrooms). I told my dad about the experience so he decided to make everything right. We found our old vaporizer, which worked wonders (it is a hollowed out 600watt bulb), put some warm and pleasant lighting on, along with the sweet sounds of Billie Holiday - We were ready to go. My father lifted of first, taking enough for a sub-breakthrough experience to which i replied "wait for me" and inhaled enough for a wonderfully
beautiful experience. My thoughts became nodes in a vast, complicated network - i saw how my entire brain worked, slowly it began to appear very machine like, cogs visible here and there. It was working with such perfect precision, i was appreciating all of the processes involved in making my brain function - i was in awe. Beautiful colors began to flow and as if on a rocket i was blasted off into a dimension of wonderful geometric patterns. Something began some sort of a communication with me. It was showing me all the different patterns, explaining them and almost trying to sell them to me. I listened for an eternity,
and then the patterns ceased to shift, a beautiful star was born - at that point, i slowly began to wake up from the trance. I could see beautiful eyes staring at me, loving me and "enjoying" me. I began to come to, i looked at my father who was already out of his experience and was just smiling at me. We sat for another minute or so, i got in bed and
began to type this, so called "essay". I fear that i may have not worded everything as i wanted to, or perhaps turned this into an experience report. Perhaps my point had been lost in my half lucid state of mind but i hope that's not the case. I just want to say that i love this beautiful world and that we should really cherish it. Life is beautiful!
Spice is truly a magical molecule! At that, i shall bid adieu.
 
HELLO!

:p

Good day to you
I was just wondering,
About your shakes/convulsions

Do you get them from normal situations too? Like over-excitedness? Or paranoia? Or anger/stress? Or is it only when you have taken psychedelics like dmt? And also, would you say that the convulsions started as a result of initially exposing your nervous system to these compounds or was it pre-existing?

I get them too from time to time, so it would be nice to hear from you how it manifests in your life.
I personally am not sure if its psychedelics that caused mine to begin with, (I have always been a highly sensitive person) maybe it could even BE stimulants because the doctor told me I have anxiety and that i should stay away from caffeine etc.

I remember one time i took lsd and broke out in shingles a day or so later, which is odd because I am only 21, and he says the reason for it occurring in younger people is because of a lowered immune system eg. drugs, HIV etc. (I have been tested though and I am HIV negative - something I am TRULY blessed to be)

Anyway welcome to the tribe, I shall be seeing you around the site.

Oh yeah and cats, I LOVE cats when I am tripping, and they seem to love humans that are tripping too ;) haha

Peace
 
Welcome to Nexus friend :)

Sometimes one's body is shaken as if suddenly temperature dropped around, I think it is caused by anxiety. Just wrap yourself in warm blanket and you should be fine unless it is something different and health related in which case you should be more careful.
 
Hi cidilon, Great to hear you're travelling, and with your Dad. Welcome.

As a father I would love to do such a thing with mine, maybe one day.
 
Thank you all for such a warm welcome!

In regards to my convulsions/ shakes i do get them from time to time and they appear to be anxiety induced. I find that for the most part they manifest (although not to such a degree) during panic attacks, which sadly i have to contribute to my excessive cannabis use during my teen years. On the other hand that can be debated as my first panic attack did occur while i was quite high but at the time i was also listening to a NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) recording. The recording couple with the effects of cannabis put me in a trance-like state which in turn sped up my heart rate quite significantly after which i experienced my first ever panic attack. The violent shaking occurred then and there for the very first time. Anxiety has been an issue since. I believe that i was quite anxious (i usually am before blasting off) and very tired, rather my body was very tired. I find that with exhaustion and lack of proper diet my body is much more susceptible to the "shakes". As the spice began to come on, the wind picked up considerably outside - cold air began to enter my room. It appears that all of these factors combined caused the shakes, which were quite violent, my hart rate was at around 100-110 during the episode but without any irregularities in the beats.

I am going to start taking care of my diet and trying to get my sleeping pattern under control, as at the moment everything is out of whack. I believe that these changes should positively influence my lifestyle in general. I had a wonderful experience with the spice yesterday but it seems that the need for change was one of the points that i carried out while coming down from the voyage.

Cats indeed are wonderful, my cat appears to be in pure bliss when i am journeying in the unknown realms. She is always besides me, helping me have a positive experience!

Well, this is getting rather long - i feel bad for opening my mouth :) All of you, thank again :)
 
I also was going to mention that traveling with my father is indeed a wonderful experience. It definitely eases my anxiety! Gowpen, i hope that one day you can experience this "bond" with your child :)
