I miss the intense CEVs I used to have * 1
    #26485333 - 02/14/20 12:03 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

For the past couple years me and my GF have been taking trips ranging from 2g - 3.5gs
Typically stay around 2.5-3g and it’s been great but the visuals have been more environmental then with our eyes closed. Probably because we’re tripping together IMO and we’re too busy hanging out and talking etc..

Anyway!!! I’m restarting my solo journeys this year because I do miss getting lost in the void alone. And obviously this isn’t a problem.

I only take 3.5gs I don’t need to take 5gs and forget my name just yet. In time....

Anyway I’m so used to tripping with my S.O that I’m kinda lost with what I am trying to achieve for my personal trip. I have some things in mind I want to explore and meditation is something I used to do and would eventually have some very beautiful intense closed eye visuals.

I am fully prepared with everything else such as music, environment, etc.

Anyone have any rituals or recent experiences lately?

It's winter (kind of...), so I've been sitting by the fire as much as I can. It's been pretty boggy and the ground, unfortunately, has gotten saturated and had no chance to freeze.. so it's rarely as it has been in years prior.
But.
I'll take a dose - soon thereafter start splitting logs - get the fire going just in time for the incompetence of building a fire to kick in - sit back and enjoy the ride.
The feeding of the fire is kind of an intentional way I can undulate my tripping experience from heavier to lighter.
There's often an amazing contrast between the winter night sky and the perimeter glow of the fire that really takes me places.
It's cathartic and astral.
The fire has a way of cleansing, the stars have a way of welcoming the new.

Then, once I've come down, I'll usually pour some wine or something to welcome my landing and feel out my freshly molted shell.

edit: ah... on topic  - It almost makes CEV's mandatory. Your optics firing from contrasting light/dark have no choice but to make your fancy brain start playing around with it.

Wow you my man seem interesting.

I bet you have some real fun. Me and my GF have those tiki torches outside and we get one and put it in front of us on a table and just stare at it outside. It’s beautiful 

So I’m guessing no closed eyes for you my friend

You are right on target with a major difference when tripping with others. I think you are also being wise by keeping your dose the same, it’s been said a million times before, but it’s easier to go a lot further on the same dose when you go alone.

I’m a simple person as far as rituals, do what feels right to you. IMO/E being hyper vigilant over that sort of stuff isn’t as critical when I am alone, with others, I do plan and prep a lot more,

Typically, if indoors, I choose a comfortable area, assemble basic supplies, water, blankets, a light snack, like fruit, music that I can turn on and off without too many technical complications.

Then, prepare the dose, I might remind myself of an intention, but generally, if I have an intention at all, I have thought about it a lot already in the weeks prior. But, again, I don’t get all to hung up on sticking with or setting an intention. I am fairly confident that the shrooms will intend to do what they do regardless. Although I do believe there is a value in having a stated intention, even if it is simply to reconnect to experience of the psychedelic state.

For me, on shrooms specifically, Tripping with others is definitely magical, but tripping with your self is the real shit. 😊

I am excited for you. Can’t wait to hear how it goes, my advice is boring, someone will come along with more interesting ideas.

Oh, I'm always drawn to closing my eyes for a good bit of time no matter what situation I'm tripping in. (Riding a skateboard - though Highly Inadvisable - is like nothing else when you close your eyes for a bit tripping.)

With the fire, it's kind of where a lot of that magic happens... probably equal parts.
You can really get lost in the flickering beyond your eyelids and it tends to morph into a lot more obscurity than you can usually achieve with eyes open.
Though... I have done this with heftier doses and it's eyes wide the entire time. That's a whole different experience.

I'll resound much of :whathesaid:
I don't really put too much effort into the ritual of it... it just so happens that fire is my draw when I'm tripping alone in wintertime.
Otherwise, I'll take a hike. Lay around in the grass. I've had trips where I just stretch/meditate the entire time on a particularly nice area rug. Rarely I'll find myself behind a screen, but it can be fascinating in its own right. Sometimes, I'll just be like, 'fuck it, I'm going to sleep.'
One of the nicest things about tripping alone is that you can just act on any whim that you may have... don't have to worry about the tethers of cooperation.

Well I plan on meditating in the beginning and trying to let go.
I’m just worried a little because it’s been a while. I truly just want to let go and stay there.

I only have my phone for music. Also here is a helpful tip for anyone tripping by the way. Yes using headphones is amazing but nothing’s better than having a Bluetooth high quality speaker. Main reason being your mind actually feels more free when there isn’t anything in or on them. Makes the rook feel more open IMO.

Also if anyone is using their phone my #1 rule is to turn it off or use airplane mode. It’s hard enough reading the next song to play hahaha

I tried DMT first, and it was way more insane than anything else. Mushrooms were cool, but I wanted to know the differences between it and LSD. Reading didn't help. LSD is a little more intense and forced. I've had various experiences with mushrooms. I like when they kick in, or peak, and the patterns in my eye lids constantly change. They are like a mix of LSD designs and DMT turned down (because it constantly changes). LSD's hallucinatory period is relatively short lasting, unless a high dose is used, then it lasts longer, but isn't as weird as DMT. However, it's still complex. People say it shows them "God" or infinity and whatever else they try to use to describe it - some choose to use Eastern philosophical Buddhist terms instead, such as Brahman or Atman, but the only way to know is to experience it. People just want to read a book, but they don't really know what they want. I figured it all out, and I wrote it elsewhere. It really isn't my fault that you haven't read it, then.
Mushrooms are about the closed eyes parts. You read online about these people taking lower doses to reduce their bullshit anxiety or to help them quit smoking but the source of that is religion. Then, you start to see people wanting to dismantle it because they want a radical new idea instead, but that isn't how it works.
They are all unique, but DMT is the standard. People love believing I don't know the science, including biology, nutrition, and nursing, that explains how the psychedelics work in the mind.

You gave me magical feelings just reading that. Felt like I was tripping right along with you. I know everyone says it, but you have a beautiful way with words. Do you write or have you thought about writing something IRL?

Shooms are made for nature, or nature was made for shrooms. I can’t tell which sometimes. My preference for tripping is outdoors, usually, even if I plan on being inside.... I will most likely end up outside, hopefully clothed, and mostly aware of my surroundings. :crazy2:

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I can do some justice to the experiences I've been fortunate enough to have and I'm even more happy to know if my perspective on them can help others... sometimes I question if I'm just going off into unintelligible detail...

Though I've considered it from time to time, I've never really committed much effort toward writing works of any sort.
I wouldn't really know where to start, quite frankly. And if that doesn't stop me, humility/self-consciousness will mock me into forfeit  - why should I think what I have to write has the value to merit any legitimate publishing?
I think the extent of it is probably just scribbles of poetry destined for the wastebasket or writing my heart into sentiments for loved ones.
That's why I like platforms like these forums - the aspect of discussion gives me a subject to expound upon without having it expressly something of my own creation.
Maybe I'll one day have the concentration and dedication to let the creativity flow.

Excuse the tangent. I didn't want to leave the compliment without thanks.
I greatly appreciate all of you who've kindly encouraged my input. Wouldn't be possible without all of your intrigues.

Hey dude, yes I have a number of routines that I’ve stuck to over the years. I guess you find what works for you and stick to it. I occasionally change up the routine. But usually my trip involves a few constants:

  • I boil up my tea with lemon juice. While it’s boiling I’ll roll 4 joints for the peak and onwards (have learnt not to smoke weed during the come up.......)
  • While the tea is cooling down, I get everything else ready: pop bottle, incense cones, candles, music playlists in a couple of rooms, blanket, heaters and fire, mood lighting. i’ll sit lotus in front of my fire, and cuddle / play with my two labradors. I feel much less guilty then when I zone out, basically ignoring the dogs for two or three hours.
  • As soon as I feel the first proper wave of the come up, I’ll put on Hawkwind - Space Ritual. Because I do this so often, I can judge how strong the trip is going to be, what kind of a trip, and when I am more or less at the peak.
  • I then move to my psychedelic room, and change the music. Shpongle all the way, or some psy-trance.
  • Start smoking weed, which intensifies the peak, and for me that’s when the real trip starts.
  • At this point, CEVs just get better and better. OEVs also ramp up to a crescendo.
  • When the peak starts to really fade so I’ll pour a glass of wine, have another joint, and have some food. Generally put some Pink Floyd on to chil too. Last night I tried The Orb, followed by Dark Side of the Moon. Was a beautiful come down.


Recently, most of my trips have been alone. It sounds counter-intuitive, but I find it much easier to handle the anxiety if I’m on my own. I suppose that on your own you have no option but to deal with what the trip throws at you. But I also find I can go much deeper into a trip from the same low-ish dose (usually 3.8g,dry cubensis). And you can completely do whatever you feel like when on your own with no thoughts of “I must look like a complete twat”! I’ll sing out loud, dance like a fool, stretch, do whatever the heck takes my fancy.

Good luck when you do trip alone again, you will positively thrive on the experience. Let your hair down, fully explore the headspace, and enjoy 👍🏻

Let me just say I had a great time yesterday!

Took 3.5 as planned. Layed in bed but proped up with my golden doodle in between my legs (She was MAD needy) If we werent snuggling she got upset.
Tried to play a little bit of a racing game like my and my girl do but I couldnt really and just said fuck it.

I literally had no choice but to meditate the entire time. Walked around for a while as well and had some nice OEVs but the best parts were just laying in bed by myself.

Can't wait to take them again soon. Need to keep the routine going.
I really miss solo trips I really enjoy them.

Yes, when planning a solo shroom trip, I always make sure that there is acid easily available, you know, just in case.
