First solo trip, need advice?
    #5403720 - 03/15/06 02:17 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Hello Shroomery, you guys really have a great website, I've been reading your FAQs all day, it's been really informative!

Anyways, a few years ago while I was travelling in British Columbia I ingested magic mushrooms several times. They were almost all glowing experiences, although each time I was with a trusted travelling companion.

Now those memories seem distant, I barely remember the experience at all anymore. However, I recently got my hands on 1.5 - 2 grams of shrooms, and tonight I'm going to take them.

This will be my first solo trip! I could probably find a sitter if I wanted to but I actually want to be alone... I remember that in BC I would always want to be with someone when I wanted to come "back to reality", but tonight I'm really hoping to transcend the ego and not have to search for external validation of my existence. I'm going to try some meditation.

Anyways, I would certainly appreciate some advice from some experienced shroomers. Is ingesting shrooms with such a precise goal in mind going to backfire? Do you understand what kind of experience I'm looking for, and if so, have any advice on how to achieve it?

Thanks a bunch! Peace.

sometimes tripping alone is the best. you get to explore yourself a lot better.

imo: prepare for everything, plan for nothing.

Any time I've tried to force my mushroom trip to be one way - it's always back fired and been less intense then what I was hoping for.

For advice - do your best to get your set and setting prepared. For me, this includes

- getting all of my homework done for school. I'm a Univ student, and being sure that "shit, I have homework to do" isnt going to pop into my head, is a great way to make sure my head is clear for the trip

- touch base with friends/family I havnt talked to in awhile. Just feels good to re-connect with them. I'm close with my parents, and talk with them once every few days, if I havnt talked with them for awihle, I'll give them a call. Its nice to hear their voice, and it also decreases the chance of them calling me mid-trip.

- clean my enviorment. If I'll be tripping at home - I'll give my apartment a good clean, having the grime and mess around me can give 'bad vibes'. Giving things a nice good polish not only feels good to do something productive, it makes it more comfotable of a place to be tripping in

- Prepare things to be 'easy to do' if I decide to do them while tripping. ie: prepare a playlist of music. Get my keys / jacket / etc in an easy to find location, basically - things that I may want to do while tripping, I'll prepare them so its easy to do and not be running around looking for lost items.

While your actually tripping - put on some relaxing music, find a comfortable position (either sitting, laying down, in a meditative pose, whatever works best for you), close your eyes - try and clear your mind, and start taking deep breaths and relax.

Dont fight the mushrooms, dont let fear or paranoia over-take you. Trust them, trust that they wont kill you, trust that the trip will eventually end, and just relax and let go.

The moment you try and 'force' ego loss - is when it is least going to happen, as you need to be aware of your ego to mentally force the loss - its a self defeating thing to do.
