I was told not to come back

Migrated topic.
I'd love to be part of your group :)
Good luck and just remember to respect this substance. Well if you don't you will get a kick in the nuts that will teach you :)
But with good intentions one should not have to fear anything. Even if you have a rough ride some day, it's ok. You will be fine.
 
Seems I read you wrong first time around - my apologies for making assumptions.

You appear determined to continue your journeys, and you want to see more. I hope your journeys are positive, healing and enlightening, for you and your friends.

In dealing with pre-flight anxiety, I would clean and tidy whatever space I was launching from, go for a long walk where I could defocus and try to find my true intention, followed by a bit of yoga and 10 minutes or so of deep meditative breathing - the last of which is most probably the most effective. I guess it's like child-birth that way ;-)

safe travels, friend

Haha, I'm always going to think of this now.

Pre-flight walking/yoga is a huge benefit. I find being in tune with my body makes for a more natural transition of then letting go of it.
 
Interestingly enough all though it wasn't a break through I was enjoying the closed eye visuals of a small dose when I heard a distinct voice say "Don't do this". I took it to mean that I shouldn't be using the spice so willy nilly and that if I intend to smoke I should go for a breakthrough with the intention to learn as much as possible.

As for pre flight anxiety I find that a simple heartfelt prayer does the trick. From heart beating out of the chest anxiety to a feeling that I was being shielded from anything negative, but that's just me to each their own.

Eden, this is a quote from part 4 of this trip report

Imagine the utter terror experienced by a newborn: jettisoned from the womb, umbilical cord clipped, drawing in its first gulp of air and opening its eyes to the hostile light of the world for the first time; oxygen flooding virgin lungs, a whole cardiopulmonary system shocked into action, those little orbs set in a tiny skull that have never seen more than the dim red glow of placenta being opened to a universe of reflection and refraction, shards of light bounding around in a seeming assault, a barrage of alien colour and intensity; and the sounds - never such cacophony, billowing around the small cartilaginous shells that heretofore have heard no more than the dull distant thud of their mother's heart, now subjected to screeching frequencies unimaginable...

I have to think of these experiences as a form birth for them to make sense. Something that will soften to some level of comprehension, or at the very least diminished violence, in subsequent trips, like the newborn slowly adapting to a novel, strange reality...

Definitely birth-like, as 88 noted, except instead of delivering, you are the one delivered into a new world!!

Hi all,

I just got back from my weekend at the hippie-rave thing, and just wanted to check in. Despite some hesitation from me and some reservations from some of you, I did 4 trips there and they were very positive and enriching. They first opened me up to the event going on around me and allowed me to enjoy myself, and ultimately launched me beyond the jimjam and into an abstract realm of ideas that I had never experienced before. I will now take some time to integrate all of these first experiences, and hope to write a more detailed trip report soon.

Thank you all for your advice.
