Body Tension & Deep Breathing - Noob Takes 10 Caps

I started to take mushrooms becuase I heard it could help with anxiety and depression. It certainly is helping and I am learning a lot about my emotional constitution. I have not gone too deep yet just getting used to the effects but i look forward to diving deep soon.
I recently took about 10 or so caps freshly picked. I was planning on doing this in nature but it got cold and a tractor started bothering me. So I drove home took a dump and headed to bed as it started. This was not so much a visual trip mostly physical.
I became aware of how much stress I am under (same realisation as a year before). And how I am holding this stress in my stomach area, abs specifically. I also felt this is probably giving me back pain as my posture is contorted by a lifetime of holding onto this stress. I started tensing in and out of the fetal position to try and 'release' this stress and heaviness. Almost like out stretching a cramp.
It then became clear that my body and negative thoughts are connected. Its as if the pain in my body is deeply connected to the pain in my head. (This make sense to me). I started to breath deeply and hold my breath as if to push out the pain and tension. I think what I was doing was trying to find a neutral point again. I was trying to align my body in way that wasn't holding onto the tension. I started crying hear and there a bit as my life flashed before me and I could see the pain in my body slowly building through the negative experiences I had been through. This slowly calmed down after a while and I came back around.
All in all these trips are making me connect with myself in a much deeper way and bringing vividness back to my life. I have been depressed for a long time and I feel I can understand the how and why of it with mushrooms. Things feel more manageable. Starting with dealing with feelings not surpressing them.

I have tried it. Would you recommend it?
The trip was quite physical almost like an exorcism not like the meditation I have done before.
I know it has proven effects on the brain. I used to have a lot of anxiety but have managed to condition myself out of it by focusing on techniques like meditation.
Is that Michael Moore?
