I have been meditating for about 15-16 years..I am 28 now and started martial arts when I was 12 or 13. I did alot of taekwondo at a school owned by a old master from korea and meditation was something we did every day. I did not understand everything about meditation back then but I did it and it did give me foundation for what I was brought to later on in life.

I dont meditate in any sort of obvious way anymore. I sometimes do yoga. Surfing and skimboarding is the deepst form of meditation I have experienced and connects me with all of my surroundings in a way that just sitting down and meditating does not.

I take 10-15mg of harmalas every night sublingually and lay there in a mild shamanic sort of trance while I fall asleap and meditate or focus on different things. Often I just try to vision the future I want to see humans living on earth.

Now, my realationship with psychedelics is not something I see as an easy way out or a crutch etc. I personally think that without them you are limited. Even a buddhist master who does not make use and form a relationship with these things is limiting their experience. I dont mean to say that you cant get into very similar states without the use of exogenous neurochemicals, but that practice that can involve both endogenous experience and exogenous experiences will take one much farther than either one alone IMO.

I think these things are for us to use..not to learn how to do it ourselves, but just for us to use. It is as natural as eating food..and I am not about to give that up..no interest in attempting to be breatharian.

Now, diet is important for this sort of work IMO. This is part of why I am a raw vegan, and why I dont drink tap water. Living on clean raw vegan foods and wild spring water, and lots of wild herbs and berries I collect myself etc is important. You can just feel it after a while. You dont NEED to meditate for hours every day to clear your mind etc..you just are clear. You sleep better, you dream deeper, you feel more energetic. Smells are stronger, tastes are stronger, hearing seems clearer..you are tuned in.

I have had endogenous experiences for as long as I can remember at night time that are very much like a tryptamine and beta carboline experience. I am prone to sleep paralysis and learned as a teenager that I can astral project and lucid dream from that state. I got very much into lucid dreaming as a teenager becasue for as long as I can remember I have had them, I just did not realize others did not have them until a high school psych class where the topic came up. I used to be really into that LD4ALL(lucid dreaming 4 all) site like 11 years ago or something.

I have also had experiences from a very young age that mirror classic abduction cases..but I wont really get into that here as it is way too weird for alot of discussion here..but whatever the nature of it is, I have experienced it and trust me..it feels VERY real. You can tell the difference between dreaming you are on a space ship, and snapping back into your body late at night somehow KNOWING you really were just on that space ship. I wish I knew wtf that whole thing is about...

Darkrooming is something minxx and I have wanted to do for a long long time.

I do alot of what you might call energy work I guess with crystals and usually harmalas, I use them with full oral DMT brews as well but it can be sort of hard to focus on a crystal at that point..

I dunno, I have experienced alot of things similar to what is said about merkaba/vortexijah activations, so I am interested in that stuff reguardless of what the nature of such experiences turns out to be.

Oh also..I try to be barefoot as much as possible..even when out hiking. This is just something you have to have experienced..being barefoot for the majority of a whole summer hiking around etc starts to feel amazing. I sort of think there is something to the idea that rubber soles block a vital current from the earth. At the very least it is better for your alignment in your back, as long as you are not walking all day on concrete.
