This was my answer to a thread name "A LSD trip almost killed me", but I cannot find the thread anymore. Maybe this could be useful for some people. "If you ever try LSD again, with low doses (I hope you do!), you can use megadose of valerian (15-20 pills) to kill any anxiety if that comes up. The great thing about valerian is that it doesn't kill the trip and you can still have a great experience after. Though it take some time to work (maybe 20min), so maybe a fast acting benzo could be useful if the experience gets too bad. Hawthorn is also great, very powerful to slow down the heart rate and relax. I take it before every trip (5 pills), but you could also use it for an emergency. A long cold shower (as long as you can stand), is a great way to reset your mental state and even deepen your awakenings (I take 2-3 cold showers during each trip). You can do 5-10 min cold/freezing, then warm water as long as you want, then some cold again. This combo is amazing I can also recommend these supplements that have great synergy with LSD and that I use for every trip. Compare to Hawthorn, these supplements help you relax but also make the trip more powerful, so to avoid during a bad trip. However using them with lower starting doses of LSD, could increase your chances of having a great experience : https://www.cocooncenter.co.uk/naturland-organic-relaxation-complex-90-tablets/16889.html (15-20 pills before the trip) https://www.onatera.com/produit-stabilium-200-90-capsules-yalacta,129.html (10-15 pills before the trip) The following supplements also have great synergy with LSD and I sometimes use them in the second part of the trips, after the peak : L-theanine, Reishi, maitake, shiitake, holy basil, bacopa, griffonia Use recommended dosages to start because it can be quite powerful I also noticed that if I take them the day before, my trips are quite stronger. Also look into binaural sounds for healing. You can use them during trips or sober. I can recommend these ones (I had very powerful healing and heart opening experiences using them) : https://www.iawaketechnologies.com/product/heartwave-meditation/ https://www.iawaketechnologies.com/releasing-tracks-description/ (part of the Profound Meditation Program 3.0) Also this one is amazing for deeper awakenings : https://www.iawaketechnologies.com/product/infinity/ (can't recommend this one enough!) I hope you will get better and I wish you the best :)"

Why is it so difficult ? Can you give more details please ?

I recommend this video for anyone curious about kundalini awakenings.

Hello guys, I thought that video was very interesting and I love Christina's energy. I am curious to know if you relate to the video ? Have you been through the stages in a linear way ? Especially if you are using psychedelics. It's not really linear for me. Cheers

@DreamScape So your kundalini awakening was not difficult ? I have read many story of people having traumatic experiences when their kundalini awakened, that now I have sometimes a small fear that popes up in my mind when I am having a strong experience. I would like to know if only some people have it rough or most people Also have you some experience with psychedelics ? I am curious to know if it changes things in that regard after the kundalini awakening.

I had my most powerful trips mixing ALD-52 with 1P. I would start by taking a medium dose of ALD-52 and get into a very peaceful state, then take a good dose of 1P after 2h - 2h30. The last time I did that it was so strong that it scared me a little bit. I felt that if I had not completely let go in the moment that could have been traumatic (but it was amazing). So for now I am avoiding the combo. But for sure the 2 have a synergetic effect. Maybe especially with the plants I am using. rectal administration of LSD ?? What are the benefits in your opinion ?

You are welcome. Yeah meditating a lot, especially the days before a trip is great. Also walking in nature if possible. Forgot to mention that the Wim Hof breathing method is great as well during a trip. Thank you for mentioning Clam Whales. Is there a sound that you recommend in particular ?

You are welcome

I am just curious to know if you get the sense that the trips would go deeper an deeper forever.

To me self inquiry is simply focusing my consciousness on itself. I know when I am "spot on" because it feels ecstatic and my ego gets out of the way. So to me this practice is more a question of focus than anything else. I just focus very hard until I find the "right spot" so to speak. I don't have a particularly curious mindset when I do it. But now I am curious to try this curiosity mindset Also I noticed that doing this self inquiry stimulates the pineal gland for me. It is very noticeable when I do it on LSD, because my "third eye" gets very stimulated and it gets incredibly ecstatic. Did anyone else find a connection between this type of practice and pineal gland stimulation ?

Do you still have some resistance before taking the DMT ? Some part of you that doesn't want to do it, but you do it anyway because you know it's your path and what is necessary ? Also do you feel that you could stop using psychedelics at some point ? Or do you feel you could continue using them for the rest of your life ?

@Jude_ Thanks a lot for your answer on kundalini awakenings and transmissions. So do you feel that there is no risk and only upside to something like reiki ? Does Reiki activate the kundalini in some ways ?

Infinity seem to imply that every possible configuration of the universe does exist (multiverse theory). Perfection seem to imply that our universe is in the perfect and unique configuration to maximise love and the good of all (So for instance, taking into account everything else, the current crisis is the best possible thing that could happen). So how can it be both ? Also, I tend to intuitively understand perfection as the perfect configuration that allows the most pleasant experience possible on average for every conscious being (as in everything if everything is conscious). Is there a better way to look at this ? If someone can enlighten me on this I would greatly appreciate it Cheers ps : Also does this video makes sense to anyone ? Sadhguru seem to say that there are parallel universes but their number is limited.

@Leo Gura Forgot I wanted to ask you this. I personally didn't really get up to now insights from my trips that I can explain rationally. But I had profound and life changing experiences that transformed and healed me. I have a sort of connexion with the world around me that I cannot explain, but it's beautiful. Like for instance when I walk outside I often see/feel something in the world around me that makes me laugh/cry of joy or get shivers. So I am curious, did you ever had a life transforming experience but with no insights? You are just transformed but you can't explain it ?

Yeah I almost wrote "consciousness meaning I has/is/will experience...", but it did not feel congruent so I did not want to pretend. God (I) could decide to not experience one specific life ? I did not realise there was a choice. I thought God experience everything.

Consciousness has/is/will experience every moment of Sadhguru's life no?

@Harsh Bagdia Yeah I listen to the Infinity track once or twice most days and heartwave meditation from time to time. I think it takes some practice to really get the most out of the Infinity track, so that your mind gets used to going into lambda brainwaves. The "song of infinity" track last one hour and the magic happens in the last 20 min, when you get into the Lambda frequencies. I should add that when I listen to it, I am focusing my awareness on a small bubble close to my head that feels very good. When I stay focused on that spot it grows until it's huge and feels amazing. When I take a good dose of LSD this process is unbelievably ecstatic. It's almost too much ecstasy sometimes. My guess is that I am stimulating the pineal gland by focusing my awareness on itself.

Thank you for this excellent conversation and thank you Jude for your thoughtful and compassionate contribution Jude and Leo, I am curious what are your views on kundalini awakenings and spiritual transmissions ? A friend had very life transforming experiences meeting this guy, more powerful than any trip she had. She is so full of love now :). So I looking forward to meeting him. https://www.venantwong.com Spiritual transmissions seem to be very beneficial with limited risks. Or am I missing something ? My understanding is that if your kundalini awakens on it's own that can be hell, but guided by a master it's much smoother. After a kundalini awakening, should we be even more cautious about using psychedelics ? Can you recommend anyone for transmissions ? Cheers

Maybe if you feel resistance it is just that your ego is afraid to die.

@Harsh Bagdia That is a very deep trip for a first time in proper settings You could try this binaural sounds during your next LSD trip. You can find it on torrent sites if money is an issue. https://www.iawaketechnologies.com/product/infinity/ Using this technology during LSD trips has been so powerful to help me have deep awakenings. Much more powerful than just listening to music in my experience. I also had very powerful healing experiences and heart openings using this track https://www.iawaketechnologies.com/product/heartwave-meditation/ Like the last one happened 2-3 months ago and I have been crying and bawling every day since (if I am in public I just yawn very hard). Sometimes for 1-2 hours non stop. It's like my all body contracts and trauma gets out. I feel so peaceful now I am positive this would not have been possible without using these sounds (I always start by listening Infinity 3 times for a deep awakening, and then I use heartwave meditation for healing). Overall I am surprised that no one seems to be experimenting with binaural sounds during trips. I will add the Wim hof method (breathing exercice + cold showers) is great during trips. Wish you the best

When it comes to healing one trip can be VERY significant. Though I have to agree when it comes to the awakening process.

@Nate0068 thank you for the answer. I am not fasting but only eating fats and proteins, so my body produce ketones from the fat as a source of energy (like during fasting). Have you ever had a trip in these conditions ?

Hello all, I have been doing the keto diet for a few days and I feel very sharp mentally. I may do a trip soon and I am wondering if it could affect the strength of my trip. Anyone has an experience with that ? Cheers

@Leo Gura Also this is one of the most intriguing video I have ever watched. It seemed to suggest that God is learning with each new universe, so the current universe is not perfect. If god is absolutely unlimited in every way, why this learning process ? I am curious to know if you or anyone else has a take on this. (Probably worth a separate thread)

@Leo Gura I remember Sadhguru saying in one of his video that one that he broke his leg (or arm). He decided to close his eyes and see if he could fix it, and after 1 hour is bone was set. This seems to be the type of healing that you are looking for. You can really know for sure that he has not experienced the type of awakenings that you have? ps: I think it was in this video :
