This is me

[Elbow]

so, my names elbow, im not specific with left or right, just please do not get me confused with knee. so i guess ill just jump into what lead me to the dmt nexus, and hounestly its kind of a trip. so, for starters, i practice in the shamanic wisdoms of the indigious tribes of the americas. i dont like calling myself a shaman, just because of the limitations it presents, so i am me, but me, likes to practice shamanism.

i was researching into ancheint practices of the indigious people which lead me to their ritualistic uses of halucinagenic herbs, such as ayhuasca. after reading about ayhuasca for a while i found out about the compound within it that caused the effects, DMT, so i set out to find it. well i found it, and i had an amazing trip, which i will tell in another post at some point, nows not the best time for that , in due time, one of my most favorite sayings.

as i was saying, after my first encounter with the dmt, i couldnt find it again but somthing in me was saying i needed to find it. so what did my logical brain decide, well... yea... you guessed it... it decided to make it, so hear i am. a fractal floating through a cosmic fishtank, eager to learn, and meet cool new people.

Welcome elbow.
I'm new to dmt also and new to the site.
Hopefully we can learn along this journey together....
I've now had dmt twice first time was great but I don't think I quite broke through, second time I ruined my own experience due to preflight panic (hit it harder then before due to learning to vaporise it properly) but it wasn't off putting never the less.
Good luck on your journey

I too am new to the nexus. I am so glad to have my first steps into a community that is focused on research, kindness, and love. How did you get into shamanism? I feel a sort of calling to help others through life. Is this what you feel as well? Anyway, good luck on your batch!

Hey there, welcome to the Nexus!

after reading about ayhuasca for a while i found out about the compound within it that caused the effects, DMT, so i set out to find it.

Don't underestimate the power of harmala alkaloids (the 'other' component of ayahuasca). They can be very powerful in their own right!

Good luck in your endeavours.

Hello Elbow.
While I am not quite sure what you mean when you say you practice shamanism, I like the sound of it. It is good to see you here.

I see you have researched ancient practices and much can indeed be gained from books and forums like this. My own path took me to living with a yuwipi medicine man for several years at one point, but I have spent many hours reading books I have long since forgotten as well. Like you, I am always eager to learn and meet new people as well.
