Letting Go?

After reading some other trip reports, I think the source of my recent bad trips is not being able to let go. So, I know it's a simple question, but how do you let go? Whenever I have a bad trip, I'm always trying to fight it. For example, in my most recent one I thought I was dead and in hell, but I didn't want to accept it. What would be the proper way to let go?

Just what it sounds like. Quit seeking out pleasure and accept fully whatever is going on at the moment. Take for instance being stuck at the DMV, you could be one of those assholes that is obviously mad that he has to wait (yelling at the workers, mad expressions, etc.) or you could just chill the fuck out and enjoy in your self. If you find yourself in hell it's because you are wanting to be somewhere else so badly that the present moment is excruciating, if you really think about whatever is going on, whether it be your surroundings or inside your own mind, you'll find it's not all that bad. You literally just have to 'Go with the flow'. Accept everything. Because, when you think about it, nothing is either good or bad.

I guess that makes sense. My trip started off good when we were at the beach, but I didn't know we were only gonna stay at the beach for an hour or so. So the sudden change of scenery from the beach to a party inside a house (that I wasn't aware of) kind of fueled it. Thanks!

This actually makes ALOT of sense. I have always been a person who would rather let stuff go then attempt to get into a fight or cause stress about it. Those that I have given psychedelics to and they had the whole issues with letting go have been the opposite type of people - always trying to pursue something not worth it.
I have never had problems letting go in a trip. Sure alot have had their hard moments, however in the end I have always been able to let go and allow them to take control.

Yeah, it definitely makes sense, I dunno why I said "guess" lol. Unlike you, I don't let go easily with other things as well. I'll definitely try to start letting go more easily, that should definitely help me when it comes to doing any psychedelic.

thats a major source.
i trip alone.
no one tells me where to go, i dont tell anyone where to go.
no one suggests this music, i dont suggest music to anyone.
etc etc, if i want to stay at the beach for 5 more minutes, go inside for 10 minutes, and come back outside, i damn will!
:P

Yep, I pretty much always solo trip, but also I have a tiny ego. Once I peak, I'm just there. Almost catatonic, and it's AWESOME.

Jealous. Most of the times I get ego death, I viciously fight it tooth and nail like its a reflex but it's just oh so glorious when it does happen, I just bad trip until it does. I really need to learn to just go with the flow. The times I didn't fight it, I basically took so much and blacked out, that or my memory is soo weak of it. :3

you let go by not trying to fight the trip and wishing to change what's happening which always makes things get worse. but if you accept what's happening, you can learn to start to relax even when your mind is going crazy.
also if it's that hard to let go, then focus on your breath going in and out which is relaxing and gives you something to concentrate on instead of your thoughts and everything going on around you
-------------------- Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines
