salvia revisited

My last experience was about four months ago, and since then I've been a little apprehensive to try salvia again. However, yesterday I felt like it was about time. I used a smaller than usual dose to make it a little easier on myself, since it had been so long.
I decided to put some music on this time, as with a lower dose I thought I might be more receptive to it. I kept the remote to the stereo next to me just in case the song wasn't vibing well with the environment.
Usual routine, laying in bed, I smoked the small bit of extract and held. Now I remember what it does, too late to go back though. I instinctively tried to grab on to reality, in vain of course. I was already somewhere else, not quite my bedroom as usual. The room pointed and stared disapprovingly, all with faces I couldn't see and voices I couldn't hear, but sensed nevertheless. Doors, fan, window, all alive and sectioned off appropriately, yet swirling together in perfectly fitting puzzle pieces.
I felt uncomfortable, and remembered the music. I reached for the remote, knowing full well that it wouldn't work here. I tried anyway, but my suspicions were confirmed when I tried to change the song and nothing happened (in retrospect I was probably pressing the wrong button). The parallel this drew with the larger scale struggle with salvia itself was inescapable, and I took it as a sign to let go.
All was well from then on as I gradually came back home.

Salvia is simply unlike any other psychedelic. It's very unique, and I find it hard to even put it into words to write a trip report. Here's to peaceful and productive exploration.

Believe me when I say that I know exactly what you mean. I've tried putting music on during my trips before but somehow, no matter what type of music is playing, the beat of the music causes a pain-like thumping against my entire body from the inside. And everytime I try to get up to turn it off, the gravity of salvia just throws me right back down to where I was sitting.
For me, salvia is strictly a once-a-year journey to someplace that has to remind me why I don't do it often. Intent has everything to do with it, though.
Good luck in the future, my friend.
