my opinion on running from your problems while tripping- It depends on your intentions of the trip. When I down a handful of mushies I am concentrating on identifying the problems in my life so I can fix them later. However, the experience is quite surreal and is a wonderful distract or from reality if your intention is to be distracted from reality, but to accomplish this(w/o resorting to accepting a bad trip) you have to have a well planned trip or already be totally ok with most aspects of your life.
mo on tripping once a week- Do it. Tripping can be a useful mindset if you know how to handle it, and will bring out words of truth from your subconscious. I would strongly suggest making your trip day a sunday(or whatever day you are totally free from responsibility. If you don't have one, get one), and make this day into a day of meditation, reflection, and self-improvement. It turns it from an escape into a productive activity improving your general state of consciousness. IMO of course.
I just trip whenever the mushrooms present themselves, nature does the decision making and it's always free, courtesy of your local cow 
any advice on how to best meditate or reflect or w/e while tripping? i try to relax and be aware of what im feeling but the body load keeps making me fidget and lose my concentration
-------------------- It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not wake up. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren’t being tortured. The only way that they realized they needed to wake up was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to wake up. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and please wake up.

check out the Handbook for the Therapeutic Use of LSD-25, and the Humphrey Osmond and Abramson stuff, the clinics set up by Al Hubbard &friends, maybe timothy leary's book on integrating the tibetan buddhist experience with LSD and the 8 circuit system (personally idc for leary stuff), and generally look into some videos or books on philosophy or religion/mysticism beforehand I would recommend some copernicus, nietzsche, maybe some flowery type writing like dante's inferno or foust, and anything on buddha like the life of buddha BBC program, or some stuff like Down the Rabbit's Hole, definitely check out Alan Watts, or even videos about ayahuasca, ibogaine, mushrooms, terrence mckenna (maybe), alexander shulgin, LSD, etc can be inspiring (especially DMT/ayahuasca/yopo and ibogaine ones which include scientific or fairly "far out" theories and traditional tribal uses and shamans), Gordon Wasson, Albert Hofmann, Stephen Szara, stuff on yogis and sadhus, daoism, etc, etc etc.
Just read into that sort of thing before hand and relax and begin to contemplate from the moment you ingest or even before, waiting for the onset, prepare your mind, and even follow guidelines like this http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/guides/handbook_lsd25.shtml
or watch something like this
you just need to enter into the trip focusing on your thoughts, preoccupying yourself with something mentally so you get a mind trip not a body trip, and of course reach for a good, and imo optimally therapeutic experience.
oh and getting good heaphones like these (that I own-sennheiser all the fuckin way!) or some other way to get drawn into the trip fully like going out to a beautiful view or some good nature spot, etc

^what he said.
I meditate the night before, and as soon as I dose until I am almost peaking, and when I am almost completely through the trip. This leaves the best part for appreciating the beauty of the moment, with the fun of the visuals gotta love those visuals lol

I think you should work on your mindset and not use shrooms as an excuse to escape from reality. Just work through your problems so your trips will be more meaningful.

Somebody who eats their own shit is clearly out of balance. On the other hand someone who gets along no matter the situation, without fear or stepping into others space - is in balance.
Sooo there are all sorts of variables on both sides, should be easy enough to figure out.
