Hey wasup, i'm about to trip off of 4-aco-dmt soon. I know that breathing out of a bag is effective for relieving anxiety in people suffering from panic attacks.. Has anyone tried this with psychedelics. I think it would be very effective in helping with bad trips.

Never really breathed into a bag but breathing can be important when trying to stay calm during a bad trip.
Quote:
Breathing is subtle, yet quite extraordinary. It takes mindfulness to find it. And although breathing is normally involuntary, an act of will can slow it down or speed it up; make it long and diaphragmatic, or short and thoracic. Breathing is a present-time, mindful process. It is always happening, right now. You cannot be fondling memories or planning your future when you’re contemplating your breath. Observe your breath, and you are automatically in the present. You are in the here-and-now.
One breathing strategy is to pay attention to the sensations as air passes through your nostrils. Inhale through your nose. Notice the point just inside your nose where you have the most powerful sensation of air flow. Exhale and feel the sensation again. Focus your attention on this spot. Use this single point to keep your attention fixed. Don’t try any specific breathing techniques. Just watch your breath. Although you control the pace of your inhalation-exhalation cycle, let your breathing proceed at its natural pace. Sometimes it slows, speeds up, is deep, short, or choppy. Just observe. And watch how thoughts inadvertently affect your breathing. Each time though, come back to the object of your focus–your breath.
At the beginning of your inhalation, follow your breath just for that inhalation. Then, at the start of your exhalation, follow your breath just for that exhalation. Focus on a single breath cycle. Forget about the last breath, and don’t think about the next one.
There are a variety of psychological and physiological factors that affect your heart rate. The pace of your heart is unique to your body. It is self-regulating. You don’t have to do a thing and it keeps beating. It maintains its own rhythm to keep you alive. But your hormonal responses and your central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) can affect the speed and rhythm of your heart. Your hormones send chemicals into your blood to affect your heart's pace. And your heart beats faster or slower depending on how your nerves stimulate your heart.
While reading this passage, imagine your spouse or a good friend tapping you on your shoulder. External input from your nerves and hormones automatically increase your heart rate. Or, think back to when you were driving your car and somebody cut you off. Your heart raced uncontrollably although you were just sitting quietly (or not so quietly). Mindfulness allows you to predict and override a conditioned physiological response–that is, it allows you to regulate your heart rate when you are threatened and handle any situation appropriately.
The medulla of your brain is your control center for your heart rate. It either speeds or slows your beats per minute. Your ANS has two components: Your sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Your SNS speeds your heart rate by releasing hormones and chemicals called norepinephrine, epinephrine, and catecholamines. When your heart rate increases to a frenzy this is termed tachycardia. There are no cardiovascular benefits when your sympathetic nervous system increases your heart rate. It is simply your hormones sending stimulating chemicals to your heart, and nerves directly affecting your heart to respond to an emergency.
Your PNS is in your brain stem. This is the area that slows your heart rate. A chemical that your PNS releases to slow your heart rate is called acetylcholine. When your heart rate slows, you experience bradycardia. Yogis can slow their heart rates to the less than 20 beats per minute (BPM). And the famous magician, Harry Houdini was able to survive in a coffin-sized airtight box for hours. [.]
I use a similar method when I have bad trips. Just sit down relax and focus on your breathing. This should slow your heart rate and calm you down enough to where you can rationalize what is going on and try to snap out of a bad trip.

Sit down. Close your eyes. Focus on your breathing, and try to calm your mind. If you make it to this point, you are probably 10x better off and might as well enjoy the rest of the trip.

You have to let go let go let go let go
Let the material die. Let the illusions of your world fade away. Let the river take you
If you can't let go, don't open that door.
Ask yourself "Can I really let go" This substance you're talking about, 4aco dmt....will get your psychedelic diapers off in a hurry

If you're thinking/preparing for a bad trip before your trip... you giving yourself a bad trip before it even started.
Have a few beers, loosen up... when the time is right and you feel ready then go for it.
Don't try to force a good trip... let it happen on it's own.

"psychedelic diapers", great term 
I'm still wearing mine and I enjoy the fit and comfort they give me. I dunno if DMT is anything I'd want to try.

The fear of letting go is indistinguishable to the fear of death,
Psychedelic ego death is a rebirth of the psyche.
Doing DMT really shows you how far the rabbit hole goes, you've never felt love or fear until you're hitting that third toke, and you finally realize something we all don't want to believe
You are "god"

It is NOT an effective way of controlling panic attacks. It IS a good method to use if you wish to pass out, however. They use it in movies to focus the persons attention in one direction, but it is not a valid method in real life.
You would want to introduce fresh air and calm to the person, not stale air and the constant rustling of a paper bag. Don't believe everything you see on tv brother.

We all have bad trips. Meditate, or slow deep breathing can alleviate the fear and anxiety. Just work through it, I know how tough it can get. Best of luck, and we are always here for you

Makes no sense. I didnt create the earth, or the sky, or the moon, or the stars, or gravity.
I am a host inhabiting a body with the privilege of experiencing external reality.
Your life is one long equation where your DNA constantly changes based on your actions and feelings. You are judged at death based on whats in your heart. Dont think you can get away with anything/everything because all it takes is ONE person to know, even if YOU think its locked away deep in the back of yout mind, once the DMT releases from your brain your life flashes before itself and thats where you will spend eternity. Energy never erases, only transforms.. Energy is spirit.

thank you. That came directly from my heart, that is what I learned from my one and only acid trip..
I tried to fight it. Everything. But when I tried to deny myself and convince myself certain things, it came back..full force...and then some! So It taught me to take a step back, accept my past for what it is. Fix what I have control over and stay positive and on track to making everyday the better..Until the end.
There IS a designer..With a plan. He is good and he is evil. There is a reason many suffer, but at the same time alot of it is subjective. This girl I know complains..Well to be honest... many people I knowand see outside on a daily basis seem to be sedated and zombie-like, they complain about dumb crap, wasting their precious existence waiting for God knows what..But wont take the initiative to run out there and use their short amount of time here to do something to better themselves so not only they feel better, but the people around them would do better and the earth would be green once again..
Maybe the trick (or lie) is partially true, that there is no God that WE know, but WE judge ourselves in OUR personal end. Maybe JESUS was a MAN with GODLIKE qualities and because he was perfect as far as having a pure heart goes, he sacrificed himself for people who dont deserve it because he knew all beings have spirits and he loves them all, maybe we have it in us but we have been manipulated through the hatred around us and some choose to swim towards it to get deeper (like "famous" people, celebs, musicians, actors, etc) and people idolize them, or people that stay on the shore or swim back to it, to be a loving caring individual who helps other people stay afloat. Maybe We get saved for our attempts at being as close to GOOD as possible.
We are here. This reality has ALWAYS BEEN HERE, and rules are rules are rules. Man-made rules like "trespassing" and going to school are all artificial, unlike cosmic rules like "law of physics" and what life needs to survive (ex: food, water, shelter, love) which have always been...proves that their was a designer..
I dont think I fear shrooms or acid anymore, I think they are tools... But like all tools, do you use them for good intentions..or bad intentions..
A hammer can be used to help build a house, or knock a person out... But a hammer is a hammer..
Evil was created with intentions.. Choose wisely.

If you've never experienced becoming all that exists in a breakthrough than how can you deny my claim,
You are made of the stuff around you, you are the universe experiencing itself,
What more or less is that than "god"
Jesus Christ said he was Jesus Christ and everyone put him down for it,as you are following in those footsteps,
You manifest your own reality,
