I have been doing a practice called 5 rhythms for 2-3 years now and it's definitely changed my life - basically people get together and dance and there's a general encouragement to let go and be authentic. The quote from its creator Gabriel Roth is 'If you don't dance your dance, who will?.' It also is actually a trauma healing/spiritual practice though, you dance what's called a wave and basically you are encouraged to let go of different parts of yourself through the medium of different music with different rhythms. This is her explaining it below: If you wanna learn to be free to dance, this is a great way and it also heals you

good job bud, I appreciate the detail of this report. I have tried 10 mg myself and am planning on my 20 mg dose soon

Wonderful report, thank you. Can I ask the dosage they gave you?

Yo if anyone needs a wing in London, I'm looking for one - message me

amen brother! I've had the exact same experience - it's brilliant

hahahah amazing

A lot of people go to do 5 meo dmt for the first time in a place where it's legal but what I want peoples' opinion on is whether this is a good idea with strong ass psychedelics like 5 meo, iboga, Ayahuasca etc. ? Leo talks about starting on a very low dose and gradually ramping yourself up but a lot of people take the above substances for the first time at what sounds like at least a medium dose because they always report dramatic experiences on them. I know I can go somewhere that runs microdoses of 5 meo, do you think it would be enough to do that first before going and taking a medium dose at these more popular retreats that are run? Or would I need to spend more time slowly ramping up my dose? I'm aware that it'll depend on my personal response to the substance but I'm looking for general advice if that is possible to give.

For me I've had more powerful insights about my life from Mushrooms but LSD has helped somewhat as well - I would just be sensible and pick one and start at a lower dose and slowly ramp your dose up. Go into the trip with a question or something like that but don't expect to get a clear answer first time.

either how it's given to you at these retreats or plugged

Has anyone here been helped to heal a particular trauma they were working on by 5 meo dmt? Or would it be better to stick with something like LSD, Mushrooms for that? 5 meo kinda freaks me out and I know I need to be very careful with it if I take it, I honestly just want to let go of a shame trauma that runs my life

Yo regardless of all of this, thanks for sharing everyone! I will do some further careful investigation and see if any of these substances can help with my healing journey. I want to do everything I can for myself so I can live my ideal life!

great job! It remind of Leo's video the Root Solution to People Pleasing and Loneliness - check that if you haven't, it changed my life

I agree with this, this was certainly my experience

In the How To Get Laid Series - Leo talks about how you have to carry the conversation at the beginning of it when you initiate interaction with a woman. I've been approaching consistently every week for a while now and have improved some what but I still struggle with talking about myself in the conversation and getting a nice interaction going even when the girl likes me and asks me questions. I guess my approach should be to not think about whether she needs to go or not (I approach primarily in the day) and to just enjoy having a conversation with her as much as I can? I think I just have this limiting belief that I'm being rude or imposing, which I don't think is really true, I try to make the interaction as unforced and natural as possible. It's a specific area but do you guys have any thoughts on this?

Yeah I would think about this a good amount, you don't want to make a rash decision. You need to understand what you want in life and why. I would say start doing the life purpose course and get yourself through all the values exercises - for me they were very very hard but I couldn't be more thankful for them because they basically hold your hand through the process of working out what is most important for you in life. The exercises don't tell you what to want, they push you to define exactly what that is for you and to prioritise it. That I think would be the best approach - I also would encourage you to not beat yourself up, be kind to yourself through the whole process, at every stage be gentle and kind but on the other hand you have to take responsibility for this because no-one is going to do it for you.

I think it's great you're working on healing your trauma, I see a lot of people talking about that but not actually anything about it or going passed their comfort zone in the world. I don't think there's much wrong with doing Only Fans but I can't imagine it's your Life Purpose, who knows, maybe it is? If you're not doing anything you don't like and it's helping you fund your actual life purpose and healing, then it sounds fine to me. I would just ask yourself about it, get clear on your values and see if it aligns with them

Could we also call the video 'The Root Solution to People Pleasing and Loneliness,' just the root solution to caring what other people think of you or how to stop caring what people think of you? Maybe I'm making an obvious point here but I just wanted to be sure I'm not self-deceived in some way. I practice the satisfaction meditation 30 minutes 6 days a week, 7 when I can and I think I'm going to start practicing it for a lot longer and do it 7 days a week because I'm starting to see how powerful it is. From the Life Purpose course, the top question that is most fascinating to me in life is What would my life be like if I didn't care at all what other people think of me? (how would I be expressing myself, who would still be in my life if that was the case... etc.). This meditation and healing my main traumas appear to be clear paths to answering that question.

right and this meditation kind of does that no?

Oh no of course, I didn't mean have no social intelligence and be completely insensitive to others, I just meant the not basing my self worth on their opinions of me part. That's what I mean by not caring what people think.

perhaps psychedelics can help with as well but I'm only just starting out with those right now

Dude, follow Leo's advice and move to a big city. If you don't want to do that, then you're not serious

this is perfect, strongly agree. If men are not turning inward to understand their traumas and finding techniques to heal them - they will project all the desperation caused by the traumas onto women. If men loved/accepted themselves, they wouldn't have a hard time loving/accepting and thus attracting women. The guys who are dicks that attract women appear to have this self love for themselves from the confidence they show but are actually fucked up and terrible partners, not what women truly want

good for you man! WHere are you based? I assume this is a big city

awesome man! One of the main reasons I don't want to is because often in London at least in the obvious areas, they don't let you into a club or those club/bar places by yourself as a man, they would if you were a woman probably but I've been turned away from so many places. It's to stop the creepy guys I guess, which makes me feel a bit creepy, even though I know I don't have to. It also of course brings up some fear going out alone as well, which links to this trauma I have that is essentially a fear of shame/shaming, something I'm working on.

Calling anyone on here who wants to go out in the Hackney area of London - hit me up on here I want to go out at the very least once a week but I have struggled to find a decent wing for that, people aren't consistent or they are very 'pick upy' and I don't find them so easy to have a normal conversation with. I'd rather not go out alone but do you guys think that is still an option if it's taking time to find a consistent wing? If you can't go out in Hackney - I can go Soho area as well but is less preferable
