I decided this morning to take a bath instead of a shower and to grace this decision with a spice journey.
I filled the tub full of water feeling a little apprehensive and set my smoking device and a lighter on the counter beside the tub so that I wouldn't accidentally get it wet. I proceeded to enter the water which was steaming hot still feeling quite anxious. Breathing in deeply I was calming myself down, and laying down the intent to find the true nature of water. Once I was in the mindset I needed to be in, I lifted the vaporizer to my lips, and inhaled deeply. The now familiar sensation started to creep up my legs as I exhaled and drew in another breath full of spice vapor.
As I exhaled, I knew that this is where I needed to start. This was the first time I have heard the ringing in my ears because usually my body is just knocked out, and I am shot into a crazed landscape full of intensity. I think maybe I am starting to get a feel for how much I need to have a true experience. My body became alien-like, almost amphibious, as the still water caressed it. I became too engrossed in what my body was morphing into to see the true nature of water.
I figured it was time so I took another deep breath of spice with my intent now back in focus. I went into this vision-state of a pure black void with nothing in it but myself and the water. My thoughts drifted to the fact the we are a little over 60% water, and the boundary between my body and the water became very misconstrued. The water was of a beautiful transparent blue, and my body just darkness. It wasn't darkness like the void, but compared to the water it was very dark. This place became a sanctuary, a temple of sorts, dedicated to purifying my soul. It was a very personal place, but at the same time I felt the need to share it with everyone.
As my surroundings started to come back into existence, I wanted to go back. I went to light the vaporizer, but my lighter was dead. I'm pretty sure that I didn't get water in it, but it wouldn't light. I was out of fluid...
The water then became a symbol of purifying myself, preparing myself for the onslaught of today's reality. I cleaned myself thoroughly, and watched as the "dirty" water disappeared down the drain. I was at baseline now, feeling an afterglow of deep peace. My body stills feels like I just finished a detox. I can feel all of my energies flowing. Everything just feels right. I am prepared to handle my day.
Thanks for letting me share this experience. I like to think that the spice had something to do with my lighter being out of fluid, like I need to come back to that place when I have more time to learn. It was only a glimpse of something that one day will manifest itself into a trip that will leave me deeply satisfied.
A haiku I thought of after the experince :
It's warm welcoming
It's cleansing prevailing white
It overtakes me
