SWIM's breakthrough? Awesome voyage.

Thanks for sharing.
This get's a little easier with practice but don't get too confident, then spice might kick your ass.
Good luck with future journeys

Thank you I would not let that happen, deep respect for this very powerful substance.

Nice one.

Welcome to the gang. Seems like you've got a handle on it.

Anything you could want to know about spice and more lies in these pages somewhere. Go through the FAQ and the WIKI first, and don't be afraid to ask if you need anything.

Welcome home.

I would just like to ask the Nexus community that because my first breakthrough was uncomfortable for me does that mean that breaking through is not for me? Or does it really just vary from trip to trip? Also, I hear a lot about people taking time to "integrate" their session. Does that mean I have to figure out what it meant for myself? Thank you.

I'm not nearly as experienced as most Nexians here, but I will say that my breakthroughs have gotten consistently easier to handle since the first one. I've also started meditating for a good 10-15 minutes before a journey and it has made a HUGE difference in how I perceive the trip. The meditation seems to strengthen my resolve, and allows me to put fear and anxiety in the background leading to smoother takeoffs and landings. Not to say that there isn't still anxiety there - I think it would be foolish of me to not be anxious at all, from what I hear, that's when DMT comes and kicks you in the ass.

And yes, I think everyone's experience is subjective, and it means something different to each of us. I always ask myself what I'm searching for before I blast off, it usually helps to make a more cohesive trip. But of course, sometimes, I still get thrown in a completely different direction than I expected. Congratulations on your experience, and welcome to the Nexus!
