Trip alone?

I wanted to get you guys’ opinion on this. First time I tried it it was something. Didn’t break through. Have had a few opportunities but it like I’m scared of it. Dunno. It’s weird.

But I’ve been getting myself ready and I extracted another batch and have some beautiful pure white crystals.

I’ve got an e-mesh ready to go. Although I’ve never used it so there is a learning curve I’m sure.

My question is; Is it okay to do this by yourself? I don’t see any reason why not, other than for comfort. I’m thinking it’s time and I’ve got two or three free hours.

Will I regret doing this without a trip sitter?

Thanks.
 
I really enjoy traveling by myself and if you have some experience I would be not too concerned. The biggest issue is that some people have to purge while traveling and that is a small risk, especially when you are not in touch with yourself.

Good luck
 

You're not alone. Many people are scared of DMT.

The biggest two concerns I can think of is aspirating on vomit if you're really deep and have to throw up and causing fire when setting down certain heating devices.

The more experience you have the better you'll get.

I prefer journeying alone.

Just make sure you're fasted to minimize the risk of choking.

There was one instance where I almost suffocated on my own vomit, but that was one time out of dozens.

Here's a good video for you, could save your life!

So there is a chance of vomiting from vaping it with an emesh? I thought that was only a serious risk when you took it orally with an MAOI inhibitor.
Can you clarify?

I don’t know why I’m scared. The time I tried it I don’t really go that deep, but thought, I don’t like it….. which was a bummer considering I did all the work to get it! Ha!

When I came out of it my aunts dog barked at me and I like to come out of my skin. Maybe apprehensive is a better word. I’ll eventually get the stones to go again.

I feel like I’ll regret it if I don’t see for myself what Terrance McKenna was talking about, ya know?

But the three S’s gotta be satisfied. Site, setting, and sound of mind is what Inwas told. If you’re not feeling it, don’t push it, right?

There will be other opportunities. Maybe at a burn or something. Also, maybe once once I’ve gotten some more experience it won’t seem so daunting.
 
I'd say risk is always there, it's just about how much of it.

That said, that risk profile increases when using MAOIs. My first several journeys I never experienced anything close to needing to vomit. That didn't come until years later when my need to vomit was linked to a psychosomatic response to anxiety about an imminent journey.

Then it went up more when I started using harmalas. After using them with just cannabis and building a relationship, I don't really experience the need to purge/vomit nearly as often.

It’s weird. I was all set to go earlier and melted some on the emesh but when i smelled it, I was like, nope. lol. I hope I get over this. It’s a duel inside of me at the moment between wanting to and being a wuss, with the wuss winning for now. I’ll get over it.

The fear is normal. My advice, and I say this with all kindness and compassion: normalize it and get used to it. In my experience it doesn't go away, one just learns to be with it and not let it deter them more and more.

Also, nothing wrong with low dose. For various reasons I am where i am and typically low dose. Granted I also smoalk some amount a few times a week. Do what you're comfortable with is an option is the point. You may notice it can be a great meditative tool at the right doses.

If you see anything he mentioned, who's to say it's not simply power of suggestion that influenced you into seeing it? 😉

For the vast majority of people, yes, if you're not feeling it don't push it. Some of us will do it when we're not feeling it 😅

However, if you feel an impulse, in invite you to GO FOR IT!

I'm very familiar with you inner experience in more ways than one, and still deal with it. I think you'll make the most progress by giving yourself grace, being patient (especially with yourself), and trusting and allowing the process to manifest how it will.

That said, how do you feel after reading this.

My incident was with oral dmt. Just figured I'd share that video since Voidmatrix mentioned aspirating on vomit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ive said it over and over again but I absolutely LOVE Nexians. You guys are always so great and helpful. It’s like I’m at a burn, ya know? What does that say about this medicine we are al here for? That the people you meet and interact with are the kindest most helpful. Am I doing a good job of getting my point across? I love it here.
 
My 1st time, I went with my partner. I don’t know if we hit the same levels, but I know that I much prefer it solo. It was a little intimidating at 1st because, you honestly never know.. but still launched. It was the best thing, for me, to do solo. Anything that would have normally made me feel scared or “bump in the night” noise was gone. It was spectacular. I suggest you do it, when you don’t have any doubts about doing so.

I felt the warm familiar embrace of good old fashioned peer pressure! No I’m kidding. I will say that your little bit of advice in being patient and letting to manifest as it will feels right, so that’s the direction I’ll go. Good looking out.

Traveling alone is perfect, atleast for me. From my experience i will reach quite a vulnerable place, very fragile. In that state its better for me to be alone, so there is no stress about any fear of judgement. I would advise just to create a safe space in the room and in your head.
