Helping the comedown be a little smoother

Hey,
I was wondering if there was anything I could do with my setting or mindset that would allow me to have a smoother, less abrupt comedown on shrooms.
On my last trip, one moment I was mingling with the surging current of the universe, drenching myself in that vibrant and beautiful tide of life and humanity...the next I was spit out. Just laying down in the floor of my mundane apartment, feeling abandoned by that amazing current I was part of just a few moments before. Feeling 'spit out' is the best way I can describe my comedown experience. It wasn't pleasant...
So any advice to make this transition smoother and more enjoyable? I want to enjoy and appreciate every facet of my shrooming opportunity, and I'm tripping again next week so I want to be prepared. I'm thinking maybe to have some warm, comforting items around me so I can just be calm and relaxed at the comedown. Any productive methods of thought to make the 'spit out' feeling less devastating?
Thanks guys
-ShadeGirl

Whats wrong with the comedown man... at least; when I trip it is usually very smooth.. like 10 steps of lesser awareness and then you're back on earth again.. but that's my feeling! Very relaxed thing to do is smoking weed on the comedown.. will make you very mellow and feels very good!!

smoking some weed might prolong it a bit as well.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I think my main problem with the comedown lastime was that I didn't want the in-your-face adventure to end and when it did, it was very abrupt. I'll try the teas suggestion to just relax as its happening.
Thanks

Also try not taking your entire dose at once. Make a tea and drink it slowly over a half hour or so. I've also found that with many of the 2C-x family, the comedown can be very quick, and taking a muscle relaxant or painkiller when it begins can make the transition / body load a lot nicer.

Hey, thats a good idea. I just got a Shpongle CD this week, so that should be interesting and keep the good mood of the trip up. Thanks.

oh awesome which Shpongle did you get? actually just LISTENING to shpongle should help the transition from "AWE" to "AWW" go smoothly

I have some great muscle relaxers..I would have never gave it a thought.
Anyways I have a Q.
I'm new to the shroom world. I have been searching for them. Not doing very well. I did find 7 liberty caps in my friends pasture the other day..They are drying out
Anyway, My Q. is to have a good trip, How many dried caps do I need to eat? And are the stems worth keeping to eat or are they to go in the trash

Stems have the same potency as caps, don't let anyone tell you different! Just weigh out how much you want and go for it.

Hey, Strumpling
I got the 'Tales of the Inexpressible" Shpongle CD. I'm pretty excited because my boyfriend and I are tripping the weekend after this month's full moon and this time I know what to expect! My last trip was magnificent...I can't wait to see what this one holds in store for me!

200 milligrams of codeine should more than do the job.
