Love is all you need.
Namaste fellow Nexians,
So a question my cat has been pondering lately concerns things that are taught while consuming aya and spice. To provide some structure to this post I will start with a preface about my cat, then the question followed up with a description of his ceremony and a short conclusion. This may not be the only post he wants me to write but he is a long time lurker and wanted to finally post something. With that said, he will start with one question and possibly more in other posts.
Preface:
My cat has been smoking spice and consuming aya now for over 4 years and on a rather consistent basis (at least 4-5 ceremonies a month). He humbly calls himself "experienced" but that would only pertain to the consumption and frequency of use. With that said, the goal of his use is to achieve spiritual enlightenment or to be more specific Krishna Consciousness. My cat understands that not everyone shares that same religious/spiritual belief as himself but understanding his purpose may help others understand the direction he takes and may help explain why he experiences what he does.
Question:
Has anyone been taught how to "properly" inhale and hold in smoked spice? After years of consumption and experiences a certain methodology has been taught to my cat by the spice itself and he wonders if anyone else has experienced this or anything similar. When my cat reads about other's experiences he doesn't read anything about their process other than what they use to smoke the spice. From the few descriptions/videos he has read/seen it's pretty much just hit it and blast off.
Experience:
The experience starts with creating the setting, preparing the spice, body preparation (clothing and yoga) and mental preparation while getting in getting comfortable position.
Setting- incense are lit to cleanse the room and allow the his brain to clear it's mind. He puts two pillows stacked on top of each at the edge of his bed where he will sit and a water bottle is strategically placed within arms reach of the pillows. All sources of light are blocked or plugged to help create the darkest room possible.
Preparing Spice- spice is then put into a foil bowl shaped with a flat bottom and wrapped carefully around a hard plastic straw.
Body Preparation- partial preparation starts early in the day. One small meal is consumed 10-12 hours before ceremony and water (sometimes fruit juice) is the only fluid drank throughout the day. After prepping the setting and spice, he dresses into loose fitting clothing (men's loose yoga pants or shorts and t-shirt) and performs 10-15 mins of good yoga and stretching to release tension and relax his body.
Mental Preparation and getting into Position- my cat will sit on the pillows Indian style, straight backed but relaxed and adjust accordingly until he finds his most comfortable position. Once his body is settled he spends 10-15 mins meditating and clearing his thoughts while directing his attention to his intentions.
Ceremony:
Once the head space is reached and body is in place and comfortable the ceremony begins. The makeshift spice pipe placed in both hands is brought to his forehead. Whilst doing this he begins whispering his intentions: first invoking Lord Ganesh- "Lord Ganesh, remover of obstacles, I ask that you remove my ego, I don't need it, and any obstacles preventing me from experiencing Krishna. I ask that you remove all attachment to this body and the things around me.. Allowing me to transcend in spirit. I ask that you remove any fear and anxiety while I am on my journey. Allow me be present and one with spirit and one with Krishna." from there he invokes Krishna- "Lord Krishna, the beautiful, the master of love, the Supreme Reality of the Godhead, the lover of the gopis, my best friend and guru. I offer you this ceremony. I ask that you fill me with love and become one with my soul. I ask that you help me remove my attachment to ego, this body and everything around me. Make me present and at one with you in your consciousness. I ask that you allow me to experience you as the Supreme Reality. Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna. Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare. Hare Rama. Hare Rama. Rama, Rama, Hare, Hare.". Once the offering is done he takes his first hit. The first hit is smaller and considered his primer. It allows his body to know what is taking place and preparing it for what is to come. The first hit usually brings the "feels" and he relaxes in the moment whispering the Maha Mantra over and over. When feeling comfortable and present in the moment it is time for the next hit. He hits play on his phone and a beautiful version of the Maha Mantra begins playing subtly in the background. On the second hit my cat takes in as much as his lungs will allow and this is when/where his body goes into a sort of yogic autopilot. As he holds in the hit, his chest and body are pushed forward like he is attempting to stand tall while sitting and align his chakras. His arms come up from their sides slowly and meet above his head. He continues to push upwards with his body and now with his hands. Again it seems he attempting to aligning his body and chakras straight and opening up deeper levels of his lungs for more absorption. After this upward stretch, his arms slowly come down at his sides but still stretched out. From there he begins slowly making fists as if he attempting pump his dmt laced blood throughout his entire body. Feeling low on oxygen, he takes in as much air as he possibly can to continue holding his breathe. After taking that breathe he reaches both arms behind his back, interlocks his fingers and lifts them up continuing to stretch upwards and outwards to expand/open his lungs even further. He releases his hands and slowly brings them back to the front of his body and puts them into the prayer position. At that point he is pretty much out of breathe and he begins to exhale and inhale in shallow breathes. It's as if he is attempting to exhale as little as possible without losing vapor and replacing it with fresh oxygen. It's like a form of controlled hyperventilation. After about 20 short inhale/exhales he exhales completely and sits back completely enveloped in his trip. With every hit after this initiation he continues with these yogic expressions mentioned and a few others. It's like a ritual where he is able to completely place his body and soul in the "dmt space" and become one with it.
Conclusion:
I haven't read anything anywhere about this or these techniques. It could very well be that the experience is created by his personal beliefs and intentions. My cat has never seen the elves, aliens or some of the other strange experiences he has read about. All of his experiences over the years had to do with experiencing the Godhead, Krishna, embodiment of pure love, ego death, embodiment of Ganesh and others all pertaining to spirituality. All of which he is perfectly fine with.
Let me know what you think. Has anyone else been taught how to inhale and hold? To "become" one with the molecule? Is there anything super weird that you do while smoking? He would love to hear any and all thoughts on the matter.
This is his first post. So he also appreciates any feedback on that manner also.
Thank you,
Peace
