Trip sitting my sister. 1

Hello!
My sister is tripping for the first time tonight and Im trip sitting her. We're twins so we're pretty close.
I've never done shrooms either, originally I was going to be the first but I've come Ill and fear that may mess with my trip.
So anyways, any advice people can give from their own personal experiences trip sitting? Do I ask her questions? Do we talk and stuff?
We wanted to go on a nice night walk because we live in a chill area too.
Anyways lads, Just asking how I go about this thing. It should be fine I just wanted to have some collective thoughts!

Be with her, try not to intervene. Give support if things go south. Be positive, confident. There is a good read for your situation: Psychedelic Explorer Guide (by J. Fadiman)

Just be passive, as in if she wants to talk, then talk back, if shes quiet, then best be quiet too. Maybe check on her sometimes like "How ya feeling?". Be there but not over-bearing.
Bring some of your/her favorite music. Maybe a camera to take cool photos. A notepad to take quick notes.
Im curious to see what would happen if you tripped together. Ive heard some twins have psychic abilities and can communicate mentally.
If she starts having a bad trip, try to sing to her or make a joke or hold her hands or pour water on her hands (that helps me out).
I hope she has a great trip

If she does start to panic, then it is essential that you do not panic. It is not a medical emergency. Change rooms, go outside, go upstairs, put music on, off, lights on, hold her hand, put a blanket around her. And let her be.
Best of luck DJ Ed

I highly recommend reading:
The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide: Safe, Therapeutic, and Sacred Journeys by James Fadiman
There are chapters in there going over how to be a safe and effective sitter/guide. You don't need to read the whole book (although I recommend it) but those chapters specifically on being a guide are incredible.

The main thing I'd say to one that is going to have their first trip with mushrooms...
...keep in mind that the come up/first part of the trip might be a bit "uncomfortable", but once things level out around 90 to 120 minutes after dosing things tend to smooth out. The come up with mushrooms specifically almost always makes me feel lethargic & sleepy, cold, anxious/on edge, I just want to lay down & curl up in a ball. But most of those aspects fade away after the come up.

Good advice , basically what I was going to mention.
Be passive...Let her have the experience.
If she wants to talk, talk....but generally a sitter doesn't really "need" to do anything at all, they're just there for a feeling of safety/security and in case the person tripping needs an "anchor" to reality.
Trying to engage in conversation can be difficult sometimes on psychedelics.

And when one is in the thick of a trip, it tends to take an immense amount of effort/focus to pay attention to such a thing when tripping.
...Watching children's movies or movies in general is not something I suggest people do. Especially with mushrooms in particular.
I suggest music much more so than a disney movie...Music enhances and brings a vibe to the experience, can carry one downstream with ease, isn't distracting to one's thoughts/attention.
Music is an extremely important component of my trips....I feel it is essential to the psychedelic experience.

This is a really nice post to read, wish more people did this and knew about this forum to be able to seek guidance for these types of experiences - wishing her blissful adventures and the same to you when you try too

Just hang out normally. Don't try to poke at her about the experience. She can tell you about it after. If she wants to share let her. You really don't have much to do really. Just keep an eye out. Just be calm and reassuring.

This is very good to remember and especially for you as a trip sitter. For me, the euphoria and love never have come through until the 90-120min mark through personal revelations. That can be called the comeup phase. For some reason I don't know yet, there seems to be a rough period always before the transition into the great part of the trip. I have only tripped a couple times so take this as a word of encouragement from a novice. Wishing her the best experience, these mushrooms truly are a blessing to people I believe. And take a dose big enough, like at least 2gr dried or 20 fresh

You should try it om.
I personally have tripped all types of ways. I feel that music and staring into your own world is more of a amateur stage and not a beginner. Distortion on a tv is a whole lot easier to accept than your whole world distorted imo but I also had a bad experience trip sitting in a room with just music and my buddy will not eat psychedelics again Because of it.

Music is a great thing to center oneself in the midst of mental turmoil especially on the comeup. Later on all music is blissful imo, pretty much. Something with a rhythm and is simple. Any favorite songs should be good too as long as they feel like they have a positive impact on mood

hmm IMO the (seemingly) transcendental state of mind that can be triggered by mushrooms is awfully out of line with children's movies.
A walk around nature (forest trail, lonely beach) is usually awesome, but keep in mind she may want to sit down or lie down at some point so carry a picnic blanket with you, and perhaps bug repellent.

Not sure if you've tripped already. Me and my brother took them together in the forest during the day at the same time the first time. I'd recommend the same; especially if you're not experienced with psychedelics. You being sober while she's tripping can make the experience for both of you very uncomfortable. Have your first trip start during the daylight hours; ideally 6 hours before sunset at least.
Good luck op.

Ideally, half the point of a Trip sitter is that they are experienced enough with psychedelics & have your best interests at heart to be like Sam was to Frodo in LOTR if it comes to it. Guardian, friend, mirror, adept & responsible.
