I read from TripMeister that eating fish (such as a tuna fish sandwich) a couple hours before tripping enhances the experience. I have yet to try it personally, but I trust TM's advice.

lol was about to say meditate... but i guess you don't want to do that...
Well, this is what i do. Usually i eat very light throughout the day, drink alot of water. Then i stop eating about 3 hours before i trip, maybe eat a few fruits. After i digest the them, i usually go meditate or do some yoga postures. Then totaly calms me, and makes me completly aware of everything that is going to happen in my trip.
Yes i have heard fish helps too, not sure if its true, same with drinking oj... But i do it still just in case

I eat the drug which im going to use to hallucinate. Then I drive to where ever im going to get the oj and movies or whatever im gonna need for the trip, and I try to get home right as the shit is kicking in. It really helps the anxious waiting you experiance before a trip.

Relax, put on very relaxing music. Stretch out a lot of the day. Don't talk with too much people, don't say much at all. I just go at a slow pace. Eat little or nothing at all. Drink a lot of OJ or stuff with Vit C, and water. The rest is just mental preparedness.

Yeh, fasting can be a good way to focus the mind and is in itself a form of meditation (with the added bonus of not having to sit on your ass for hours at a time) all it takes is a little will power. Try it and you will see how focused your thought becomes. So fasting all day before the the trip can be exellent mental preperation. Now depending on what kind of trip you want ie deep introspective or just a happy vibey high, setting is of maximum importance. I find the best way to bring about the trip I want is with music. You can choose either to listen to no music at all throughout the day while fasting or listening to the music you will trip with later (this helps to impress the mood the music choice will have later). If you really get anxious ie shakes, paranoia, losing the battle of fight or flight etc I find the best thing is to put some really happy music on after ingestion. I go for P-funk or reggae then you can just dance and sing away and soon forget about the shakes or just shake away to the rhythm . Remeber sometimes it's very difficult even for the experienced to avoid the types of feelings described particularly on large doses so the last bit of advice I can give is if all else fails is to experience it, see it for what it is...transitory, negative, yet in a sense character building when you can except tha sometimes the hard teaching just has to be.

I shake too sometimes. Also happens when I smoke waaayy too much weed. Just put on some happy music and make sure you have a welcoming attitude toward the shrroms rather than a suspicious one. They can smell fear.

In reply to:
comming up (I get so anxious i shake)
me too, but i atribute it more to my body 's vibration adjusting to the mushroom energy rather than anxiety. for me i've found that listening (feeling) a phat, pounding bassline will help. i found this out once when i was coming up and i was in a friend's car (the back seat) listening to SI Futures album Mission Statement. i noticed that the bass was similar to the vibrations of my body (also we were going about 120 mph, so maybe that had an effect) and no shivering...

I actually did this once, and it worked really well!
In my case, I blended my shrooms with some OJ at home, drank the mixture, and then took a walk to a nearby gas station to buy some cigarettes and a chocolate bar that I wanted to eat during the trip. (The chocolate bar, that is... Not the cigs! )
Anyway... By the time I got back from the store, the trip was already beginning; and I had completely avoided the anxiety and nervousness that comes while simply waiting for the trip to come on. It really works wonders!
Also to prepare myself prior to the trip, I like to read through old journals of mine or certain passages from books that put me in a happy, calm, spiritual mood.
-------------------- Namaste.
