I've been fortunate with SD so far, it's pretty much worked from the first go and I take it quite gently as I'm happy to go at my own pace with this one - 5x, 15min between tokes - can coast through a long and blissful meditative session - add in my salvia-style playlist and it's worth a month of hot baths and bottles of red

My first experience was unsettling - not in a threatening way, I guess I just wasn't prepared for the speed and I wasn't sure how intense it was going to get. I ended up repeating a chant over and over to calm me down - I guess it was glossolalia as the words (which I can still remember) make zero sense! And I felt a very motherly presence, who told me it was ok. I haven't had any mind-bending breakthroughs, but I just end up somewhere so frustratingly familiar, like childhood memories that aren't mine, or that I forgot. The entities I've seen remind me of childish storybook creatures and I feel like I should know who they are, I see the music I'm listening to - synesthesia like...

It's not something I do often - when I do it's to meditate, questions that are troubling me at the time get very matter of fact answers, the mind's eye visuals are intruiging and beautiful, time fractures, and I've had some mild dissociative experiences. I have a long way to go with this one, I think SD has a lot to teach me. One of her children is growing happily in my loungeroom (as an aside - man does she grow FAST!)
