introducing myself and in need of advice

hi,
first let me tell you about my name Hikuri, it means Peyote in the Huichol language, I happen to be from a big city, but moved two years ago to Real de Ctorce, a magical town in central northern Mexico, this place is the sacred land of Wirikuta to the Huichol people, and Peyote grows in the lowlands below, Real is quite high, about 9000 ft, I live there happily there with my fiancé.
I´ve tripped in peyote many times, and on shrooms about 7, 3 of which were in Huautla, the place Wasson and María Sabina met. I´ve never had a bad trip on either of the two,Peyote or shrooms, my question is:
I just got some copelandia, I think I ordred in the 14th, (I´m in Europe right now BTW) on the 16th I got the bad news that my mother died, if you would have asked me a month ago what I´d do if my mother died I´d tell you that I´d be in a terrible grief, but now that it happenned I´m not, I´m sad of course, but I have come to an acceptance of what happened, death is as part of life as is birth.
I feel calm, though a little down, I was not very surprised as my mom´s health was very bad because of tobacco smoking, three and a half years ago she suffered a stroke that affected her right hand, she went into respiratory arrest twice but the doctors were able to revive her. from then on I knew she was living in borrowed time.
the advice I need is, do you think I should trip now? I have a strong mind, but I dont want a bad experience, or maybe a bad trip is enriching too, but I´ve never had one. what do you think? I know this is a dificult question as we are all diferent but need your input as I´m sure there are many more experienced ppl here than me. seven trips in a happy mood are not that much. I´m not exactly happy right now, but I´m not devastated either, I´ve taken things much better than I would ever imagined in this scenario.
thank you in advance for your advice.
-------------------- peace, Hikuri

My condolences. 
Whether you should trip or not can best be answered by you alone, but I wouldn't recommend it. This news is less than a week old, I can't imagine you have mentally worked through what it means to no longer have a mother. Personally I would not want to be doing any of that while on a psychedelic.
Welcome to the Shroomery, I wish you well.

Well you sound like you are doing well and you have a good head on your shoulders, although you do say you are down a little bit. I would say that you would be fine and it might even help you understand the situation more. It really depends on how you feel, psychedelics can always until another day.

Start off with a small amount, to let your mind get accustomed to the experience, then take a larger amount when you're ready.

upload the picture to the shroomery by clicking the 'Pics' link under where it says "Welcome hikuri" at the top of the page. click the upload link in the window that pops up which will allow you to upload a picture. once uploaded click "view pictures" and your picture should be there with a link under it that says "avatar". that's the easiest way.
also, sorry to hear about your mother's passing, but it sounds like you're dealing with it well. i personally would trip so soon after something like that. only you'll know whether or not you're ready to trip though.

this is barely in comparison to losing my mother b/c i haven't, but my last trip was the day of a friend of mine's death via a car accident. my other friend didn't trip like planned because he was wary of a bad trip. Me, like you claim i've never had a bad trip but admit, had some very intense rough moments while tripping. But none the lessw i tripped that day and dwelled on his death for 15 minutes or so and moved on, it didn't run the trip and i just came to accept it while tripping that he was gone, but not for good, who knows one day we might all be together again which i hope for in an afterlife. if you don't feel comfortable, don't do it.

PreparationH,
I´ve been thinking about bad trips, and the closest I´ve been to one was when a friend of mine badtripped on Peyote.
I was doing ok and enjoying my trip, but then sensed that this guy was about to flip, and I asked what was going on, he said he was a looser, that he was 36 (41 now) and still lived with his parents, didnt go to college, was living off an allowance of about 50$ a week his mother gave him, no job, no gf, nothing! he said he was fooling himself that everything was ok in his life but then he saw himself as he really was.
the prospect of this guy really fliping out, and his suffering started getting into me, but I controled myself and talked him out of the bad trip, and those moments as you say were intense and rough, but I managed firstly not to bad trip because of this guy and helping him at the same time.
-------------------- peace, Hikuri

You had courage, i can't say the same for my last trip but not being able to handle my own thoughts came into play mostly. I was in a park and a friend of mine i could tell was having a bad trip, jumped up from a park bench and just said "i dont know what's going on, i'm outta here!" and just walked away down the path and it took me about 5 minutes to realize what had just happened. i couldnt help him, i felt crummy but also knew i was tripping my nads off and had a reason to, i later called his cell and he assured me i did nothing wrong and that he just needed a change of scenery.

in my experience Peyote is more mental and less visual that Shrooms, of course if you eat a lot you´ll have visuals and sounds will be distorted, also I can see in the dark because of pupil dilatation.
Shrooms have always been kind to me, they make me understand everything, and feel one with nature, I´d say that Peyote is a bit tough on you, if you´re doing stupid stuff in your life it will really show you, like I helped this girl once, she was badtripping and was a newbie, I asked her what was wrong and she told me she didnt like her reflection in the mirror, so I asked her if she felt like she had some negative aspects about herself that she didnt like, and she said yes, and I told her that it may be what caused that bad reflection, that maybe she didnt like herself, and she agreed, I tried to talk her out of it (I´m a psychologist BTW) and made her feel better. we have been in touch ever since, and I think she has solved some of her issues.
I´ll follow my heart and mind and do what feels right, but like somebody said, shrooms can wait for another day, but I plan to take them soon.
-------------------- peace, Hikuri
