Hi, I am hoping to try a few months microdosing magic mushrooms, and supplementing along side with L-Theanine, CBD oil and lions mane mushroom. Is this concoction safe? As far as I am aware it is, just wanted to check with you guys. My monkey mind is causing me a lot of suffering, which is why I am doing this. Microdosing is one of the only things I haven't yet tried for anxiety. Thank you.

I know the feeling all too well

In what exactly?

@JonasVE12 Hey there. Are you from the UK? I'm hoping to do a detox aswell, just wondering where you researched all the information. Andy Cutler's book? Also did you not test urine before and after?

Shall bear that in mind. Now I think back, I can remember building tolerance to it when using it daily for a few weeks. Haha, yep true. I have done shrooms before, just not for a prolonged period.

I'm not on any medication, although I've just been Covid vaccinated, so probably best to wait a few weeks for that to settle. I guess I'll keep the supplement doses low, and build up taking each supplement on alternative days. Cheers!

Cool, yes that was what I was actually planning to do. I've tried a lot of supplements and found L-Theanine works for me, especially for sleep, I go into very deep sleep if I take around 500mg before bed. It makes my resting heart rate drop by around 5bpm, which I think is nothing to worry about, maybe even a good thing. I've tried all of them except lions mane, I'll have to spend a few days with that by itself to make sure I am ok. Anyway, thank you guys.

Hi, So last night the strangest thing ever happened to me. While I was asleep loads of energy surged through my body starting at my lower back, right the way upto my throat as if it was shooting out my mouth. My body wasn't physically shaking, but it felt like intense AC electricity. This made me wake up in the middle of the night, I thought it had just happened in my night dream and left me unsettled, I wasn't sure if it really happened as I was asleep. Then about 5 - 10 minutes later while I was wide awake, it happened again and scared the shit out of me, left me panicing. The even weirder thing is, after that had happened, I started getting phycedelic visuals in my pitch black room (as if I was on a light dose of magic mushrooms), I thought I was going insane and dying at the same time. I also felt a warm/ glowing feeling in my stomach area. I was going to call an ambulance, but realized it could have been kundalini? I've read about it before but didn't really beleive in it. To note a few things: For the last 2 years I've been meditating nearly everyday for anywhere between 20 mins upto 2 hours. I planned on killing myself 3 days ago but bottled it at the last minute (I'm not looking for any sympathy btw, just trying to explain). I've had weird energy stuff happen to me before last time I got suicidal it was like small bursts of warmth around my heart, but never as intense as last night. I spent most of yesterday evening reading through the Kriya Yoga mega thread and have read about similar things, but only after people was doing the yoga practice. I had these kundalini symptoms just after reading about kriya yoga, is that just a conincidence? Even though it scared the shit out of me, was it a good thing this happened? Will it continue to happen with more spirutal practice? This is the first 'real' spirutual thing that has happened to me. I feel as if my meditation practice hasn't really done anything, could it be my mediation has suddenly showing some results? Have any of you been through anything like this? Thanks

Sorry to double post. I have got the second book in the list. I read in another thread to skip the kriya bow, and jump straight into the next techniques?

@kag101 Sorry to hear that. I have actually gone to get help but I honestly cannot say my therapist helped. I really don't want to go back on medication. You are probably right though, I just think it's really hard to find a good psychiatrist where I live. Through meditation and deep contemplating alone I have dug deep into my mind and kinda worked out what my problems are and how to tackle them myself. I usually only have suicidal thoughts, very rarely do I plan on actually doing it. Just to note aswell, I'm not intentionally seeking kundilini experiences, it just happened completely spontaneously.

Thanks man, will definetly make sure to not lose interest in everyday 'human' activities. I feel grounded now to be honest, it was only in the moment last night when I seriously thought I was going insane.

@martins name Thank you

@Juliano Zn @Koeke Thanks. How flexible do I need to be physically to do the techniques?

I go to the bar by myself and get a soda water with lime. Looks like I'm drinking vodka and lemonade or gin and tonic, no one asks/ knows a thing. People that harrass you for not drinking alcohol are fucking annoying. Although lately I am pretty comfortable with just telling people I am not drinking. Just tell your friends you don't want to drink much. I stopped drinking just over a year ago, had a pretty bad weekend/ nightout habbit.

I need to read the entire thread, but looking to get into Kriya Yoga. This sounds like the next most powerful thing to phycedelics? How difficult is this to learn? it sounds quite complicated just from flicking through some of the pages in this thread.

Thanks, I've not done any spiritual work for a few weeks, but all of a sudden this evening it seems like I've just been slapped in the face with some conciousness. It feels when I am typing on here right now that I am just typing to another part of myself.

Yes, and I'm feeling scared, is there light on the other side of this? I keep getting sublte hints from life that I am god, did I put them there? Are there more to come? I'm talking to myself

Reading this thread is making me panic and emotional wtf

Is 4 stage reverse osmosis enough? My landlord will not allow me to install a 6+ stage RO filter under the sink. I have found a 4 stage countertop one, just hoping it is enough to get most the crap out the water?

What exactly is wrong with barbell squat and deadlift to keep posterior chain strong? These group of muscles are responsible for maintaining your ability to walk, run and do everyday human movement patterns, and hopefully keep you in good enough shape to not end up unable walk when you're elderly. There's a difference between pushing yourself to your genetic limit combined with steroids, i.e powerlifting/ strongman, vs squatting and deadlifting just enough weight to stress the body to maintain strength once a week (which is what I do, combined with endurance work)

@Leo Gura I remember you mentioning in a video or on the forum somewhere that you changed you views on meditation. I've been doing it now for 2 years daily, sometimes upto 3 hours and haven't noticed much difference in my life. I have a very active mind that I can never slow down, always over analysing everything. This is causing a lot of suffering for me. I know this is down to me to experiment/ workout for myself, but do you think microdosing psilocybin could help produce better results? I'd also meditate around 30 mins a day on the side.

Hi all, I am starting to get very concerned with the local water supply, so decided I need to take action. Can anyone recommend a countertop reverse osmosis filter on here? The only two that I have found are AquaTru and Osmio Zero. I am in the UK, so would be great if anyone know of any here I cannot install a traditional 'under the sink' type as my landlord will not allow me. Thank you

Just wanna bump this thread, What is the best way to filter water without installing reverse osmosis filter under the sink? (Landlord won't allow) Also, does anyone remineralize their water with sea salt? Thanks

@Leo Gura Would you ever do a video on what you have experienced with N,N-DMT? Did you experience any entities ect? You've mentioned, and done videos about 5MeO, but not N,N-DMT Probably just a distraction, I should probably just man and do it haha

I tried it for the first time last weekend. Didn't really enjoy it in comparison to mushrooms. I think the anticipation/ anxiety of not knowing what was going to happen caused me to have a bad trip. Even though I tested my acid, I got scared when I was coming up, I kept going into thought loops saying the test kit didn't test the substance properly and that I have just put a dangerous drug into my body. Also had strong mental visions of me ending up in hospital or dead. Eventually a few hours in I calmed down abit, but this over thinking definetly ruined my trip. It made me feel disconnected from my body and kinda wired as if I was on a stimulant. Also I was tripping strong for about 6 hours and still feeling it upto about 10. I like how mushrooms only last about 6 hours for the entire trip, and they really help loosen and connect with that inner warm feeling inside my body. Only thing is, I end up with awful headaches after shrooms . My senses were deffiently enhanced though on LSD, I could really taste all the crap when drinking from tap water. My friends cologne/ perfume smelt really chemically and strong, when I usually enjoy smelling peoples fragrances. Maybe the acid was trying to show me how we are living in a 'chemically' era and that it's important I become conscious of what I put in and on my body. I will try LSD again as now I know what to expect and can hopefully relax abit more knowing that I won't die (well apart from the ego haha)
