Drink tons of water. You are made of it. Act like it 💪 Sleep a lot. Light movement. Go out for a walk. Stretch. Don’t eat heavy. Eat fruits, cooked or raw vegetables depending what it is, eggs, seafoods, bone broth, fish, white meats, fermented stuff like yogurt or kefir, etc. Easy stuff to digest basically. You can eat the spicy Mexican chili bowl some other time. I am realizing this is pretty basic advice but there you go! I got sick a lot in the winter months & realized the value of the basics.

I would love to listen to Leo & Alex

Mark Manson would be a cool guess for more practical, down to earth self help. I wonder how he would handle a god talk lol. He mentioned using psychedelics in his youth but he tends to belittle them. That’d be interesting.

I like to go with the flow & improvise my training. I am pretty ripped even though what I care about is my health & the enjoyment of what I am doing.

This post made me buy barefoot shoes a week ago and I can say with a fair degree of confidence that I am never going back to regular shoes. Totally barefoot seems undoable to me. I don’t want step on glass or puke or poop or needles. Big city & barefoot seems like the worst idea.

I don’t like lemon tek at all. I’ll be balancing options here. Tea is better. There’s just something dirty about the flesh. Psilocybin dissolves in water fairly easily. Grind your shrooms in pestle & mortar to make it as fine as possible & soak it for a good 15min. No need to simmer or anything. Just pour boiling water on it and let it be. Then strain and enjoy.

Depends on the genetics of the mushroom. I would agree to be cautious if you don’t know the potency of your batch but it could be a good dose. 2 grams of mushrooms mean nothing. It’s more complicated than that. I’d say do a micro dose on the heavier side like 0,2g to gauge whether 2g of this batch would be suitable. If it’s still sub perceptual, 2g would be good. If you can clearly feel something’s up, maybe start with 1g. It depends!!

Every thing you need to know to grow them is on Reddit. Shroomery forum also has all info you need. It’ll take around 300$ of investment to start but gets much cheaper after that. The biggest costs are the pressure cooker & dehydrator. Substrate is pretty cheap and it’s the only thing that you need to buy more of every time. That and isopropyl. If you know you have legit shrooms then the only left to do is to blend them together to average out the potency. Tea is my preferred method. I don’t eat the flesh.

Transitioning to barefoot style shoes.

I am glad he’s got plans for 2 more books. I’ll read them alright.

Yes. More jazz. Always.

You could put earplugs and exist with your mind for a while. That’s productive in my book. It will help you grow in some way.

@UnbornTao You sound like Ralston😁

You sound good bro. I just think we could all be a little more pompous when using our voices ahah! Doesn’t need to be loud. You didn’t ask for it but I’ll talk a bit about breathing for anyone interested. It’s very counterintuitive. From what I can hear 95+% of people push the breath out when using their voice. Which is exactly the opposite of how it’s designed to work. Exhalation should be very slow. Barely letting any air out and placing the pharynx lower with a good mask activation is how opera singers get their high volume without hurting themselves. Rib cage should remain open at all times. In the front and the back. When exhaling the rib cage should not drop at all. Collapsing it makes the air come out way to fast. I want to also mention that playing guitar at the same time tends to mess up proper posture. Special effort should be made to keep the shoulder blades back. Balance is key. It’s like doing a handstand. The moment you put yourself into balance the effort required to do the thing is divided by a hundred. I love talking about that stuff. I am curious. What kind of practice are you into when it comes to keeping your voice well & alive? Are you into humming? Humming is god sent, it places the voice so well. Makes your entire cranium vibrate. So fun.

My critique is not really a critique. It’ll come in the form of a game to play for fun. Game: Pretend you are yogi the bear(Or Elvis for that matter) & sing the whole song like this. It should feel like your pharynx is gigantic. Soft palate lifted high. Throat fully open. Keep your cheeks activated. Nasal passages open. Notice how different it feels. You should be able to sing every pitch like this. Never let the pharynx go up when you go up in pitch. Pitch is controlled by placing the vibration higher up in your mask. I am not saying you should sing like that when you are performing but I am sure you could gain some insights into the actual mechanics of the voice by doing this. I can explain what to look for with your breathing too if you’d like. I will recommend the best resource I know for technique. It’s called « your body, your voice » by Theodore Dimon. This book was a game changer for me when I read it. It explains in detail the actual biology of the voice in relation to our upright design. It is a must read if you are serious about your voice and keeping it healthy.

My ocean obsessed ass thinks there’s a lot of potential. Thanks for sharing! Are you open to having your singing technique critiqued? I think I could help a bit. I like the grit in it.

Some people are even asexual. You are trying fit complex biological systems into a tight box. That’s never gonna work. We can’t even agree on being humans lol.

I’d listen to that. Sounds interesting.

I don’t drink it often. Caffeine agrees with my genetics a lot & I like it but I’ve had very tasty decaf. It’s definitely possible to make it right. It’s just a bit harder to source the top tier stuff. I love natural coffees and I haven’t come across a decaf version of that yet with my local roasters.

Omg are you really wasting 800 euros on one of these?

How do you clean the messy juicer afterwards? It’s the only thing preventing me from making stuff like this.

Taking the subway & bus seem to be pretty low for most people. It doesn’t need to be though. It’s like consciousness could be conscious even on the bus.

Couldn’t tell you what LSD micros are like to me I’ve never had LSD. It’s crazy how psychedelics affect people differently.

Immediately. I get this restlessness from microdosing that is only quenchable through running faster, pulling harder & generally more motivation to exhaust myself. I am combining it with niacin for the vasodilation.

It does not matter what people are « allowed » to do. Especially when it comes to an instinctive and unconscious drive like sex. People will have sex whenever they have sex and you cannot do anything about it. If you make it illegal they’ll just do it behind closed door and keep it to themselves. Just like drugs really.
