Hi there,
I want to thank you for this idea. I have a big supply of Mimosa hanging around. Caapi and Chacruna I trust to be healing no matter what. Mimosa (with rue) has some horror stories surrounding its use, from overbearing intensity to a more trickster vibe. So it scares me more than Ayahuasca, and I did not know for sure if and how to work with this plant.
I took the plunge with just 2.2 grams rue (eaten) with 1.1 gram Mimosa (15m later, chased with Orange Juice). First thing in the morning, as breakfast, eating nothing else. I was lying down during the peak. The familiar experience of becoming feeling-experience, and the impossibility of taking anything of the 'lower' self with me (such as concepts, too many thoughts and fears) and breaking through the fear barrier of control by letting go and arising in a 'higher' state of being of just Being, Awareness.
This all without being overbearing. A wonderful practice of letting go. After the peak (which took about 30 to 60 minutes, but felt much longer) I took a shower and for about another hour or two I kept receiving insights and inspirations while still being joyfully slightly altered. Finished the journey with a walk in nature. Got back around noon, back to baseline and ready for the rest of my day, feeling great!
This is definitely a dose and level of intensity I will explore further, exploring the relationship, building trust. Maybe I will up the dose slightly. Either go for 2.5 rue and 1.5 Mimosa or both. But no hurry, more than enough material left for many, many of these experiences.
Do you have any insights in what either upping Rue versus Mimosa dosage could bring?
Thanks!
