Salvia To Help Cope Emotionally

Do you think salvia could be used as a tool to help you think differently when your under extreme stress.
i was wondering if the lady might be able to help out if she's used sensibly.
Maybe with things like jealousy, grieving, serious worries about attitudes. The way you think about something that keeps dragging you down. Any kind of personal loss, in those first stages when your trying to cope.
Would using a drug like this turn into an absolute disaster, or do you think it might be able to show you something, maybe change the way you think about a situation.
I know you need to be in the right mindset for salvia, but what is the right mindset. Does it not depend on what your using the drug for ?.
peace

From my experience with salvia, once you take in that big rip and hold it in for 20 seconds, your thoughts do not even belong to you any more. I can't imagine focusing on a problem in my life while the world as I know it is being torn away and replaced with a fantasy cartoon land.

extreme stress times are usually emotional & emotional events raise your baseline by 2 levels on salvia scale at least. so you have to back off on your dosage, however, with a lighter dose of salvia or other entheogen, you may find some new attitude, which can be very useful indeed!

Bro, honestly, sounds like a recipe for disaster, just knowing that the slightest bad idea or environment can turn a trip into a nightmare, if you're already pissed off or sad, who knows where it could go..but maybe it'll clear your mind, its up to you if you wanna take a risk. -mike

This is what i was thinking. I have taken it before and its changed my perception on something, for the better. I very rarely break through so i guess i might mean a smaller dose, ive taken afew different brands but ive only had full effects twice.
But you would definately have to get into the right mindset for it. I think she can teach as much as she can kick ass.

Salvia -- leaf me in peace
Can't say I can relate to this experience -- the one time I orally ingested salvia (through tea) I had a negative experience -- but it shows the wonderful possibilities of the herb.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

maybe during the come-down..
the afterglow of salvia is soothing from my xperience and could possibly allow for more introspection.

Well my own humble opinion is that Salvia can be used for emotional healing. That's what I use it for, sometimes. I have a Missouri Corncob pipe that I bought for six bucks at the drug store.
In the evening, after my wife and kids are asleep, I pack a big bowl of homegrown salvia divinorum in my pipe, and take a couple big drags on that pipe, out back, and look at the night sky. It helps.
I can't speak for anyone but myself, though. In my own case, I think that it works because I grow the plants and talk to them, stroke the leaves, send them positive energy and love. So She allows me to smoke her leaves and she helps me out.
But, this is homegrown leaf. I wouldn't do this with 20x -- obviously, your mileage may vary.

Yeah man go for it. Use only a tiny bit of extract or plain leaf if you have. Meditate on the problem and then smoke/chew a little bit and continue meditating. I have found this herb very useful when taken in small doses where you don't break through. It's almost like you can have a conversation with her. . . or yourself.
Peace
