Just to add guys, this will become my routine... (Some extra info there too)

My OCD was related to thoughts @TylerJ thoughts, same as yours actually. My therapist says that OCD leaks into other areas of your life also that you may not be aware of, mine was hoarding things and germs/bacteria.

@now is forever strange. I just found it odd half way through the topic he up and left. Nevermind, I'm sure he's fine and he will have his own reasons ??

@now is forever Yeah maybe so, I wish him well regardless ?

@Anna1 fair enough, thanks for your input

+1 I wish people would, save many arguments on here. I've read some of the comments thinking "Daaaaaamn" these people supposed to be self actualising? It's all mental masterbation with some of the people on here lately, they need to chill ?

@electroBeam Thanks for your input @Quanty I agree. I'm referring to the motives behind seeking enlightenment. @Anna1 I understand, but still, until enlightened it's still for 'the self by the self', paradoxical really. @Ether I also agree. @Nahm ?♥️

They do already possess it though. They already have it, everybody does. I learnt something huge this year and I do hope to help others realise the same. Drop any expectations you have about meditation, drop any "states" you wish to reach. Unconsciously maybe you still have expectations? Doesn't this say that you do?... (Ignore my tag, stupid website) Please don't take this as criticism because it certainly isn't, just trying to help you see ♥️

@John Iverson @Ether Ether the fumes you breath I'm referring to. John been doing it on and off for say around 3 week's, I do one day off one day on but I was initially suffering with panic attacks so there was more off days than on but now I seem to be getting that under control there will definitely be more on days ?. @Leightonm my next dose will be 0.130, I'm slowly working my way up to see what suits me best. At the moment I'm doing one day on and then miss a few days and then back on. Also depends how I feel at the time, if it comes to a microdosing day and I don't feel like it I won't do and vise versa.

@Ether "drug's" that's a stigma society has attached to Psychedelics. Can't can't more natural than what I've consumed, you probably consume harder substance's when you walk down the street or drink from the tap ?

Oh I'll never stop @aurum ?

Very true.

Well that took an unexpected turn ?

Are you meditating with expectations?

@Ether ?????????

@Leo Gura where do you assume you'd be presently if you didn't ever delve into the world of psychedelics?

How about military style ear defenders? Never used them myself but I've heard they are the shiz

@pluto Think I know what went wrong. For the past week I've had this bad chest cough and a bad headache, this morning I've woken with tonsillitis. So maybe that had something to do with my energy levels and the fast ?

@Ether clearly missing a chunk of nous

@Ether ??? it isn't a monkey either you tool!

I've also experienced this a number of times. It's like you completely detach from the body. It's amazing.

@Max_V Be grateful for the memories you do have. Be grateful for being alive! Be grateful for being. Be grateful for your loved ones. Be grateful that your healthy to make new memories! Don't dwell, what's the point? It's gone. Would be helpful if you could change your perspective on your memories... Also, remember, they are just a thought ?

@pluto Pluto I did so much research, honestly loads!!! I read blog's of people continuing their daily life's as usual. I watched videos after videos, I chatted with people that had done the same. I understand from an outside perspective it looks as if I had blindly gone into this but I really didn't. I was happy with the fasting itself it was just the energy levels, I'll do some research into the energy aspect of it. I am in a solid mental state and I genuinely felt very excited and confident, very confident. I maybe should of tried intermittent fasting first above anything to get a feel on how my body would react. Yeah definitely helped thank you as always friend ?

@Michael569 Thank you so much for that, very informative ♥️ @pluto I broke the fast at 36 hours with some mango. It wasn't because of hunger, it subsided, it was because of energy levels and back pain. I almost crashed in the car, my reaction times where almost non existent. I couldn't even manage a stroll with the dogs without it seeming like a project. I have an extremely important meeting this morning and I wouldn't of been able to make it due to no energy, also because I was unable to do my daily yoga and walking my back pain kicked in. To say this was my first fast ever I'm kinda proud of myself. From this I have completely knocked caffeine on the head and realised I still eat to much. I've gone straight back into the fast as of 8pm last night and I won't be eating untill 8pm tonight. The depleted energy levels killed me but I'll get my body used to it a bit more and I'll plan to do it again in the near future.

Absolutely Pluto, well said. I'm reaching my peak me, I have absolutely no energy whatsoever and it's affecting home management and daily life. How do you know when it's time to break it? The hunger is feeeaaaarce ? @Star Net yyyeeeaaaahhhhh.... ? I had a strong urge to fast, for what reason is not known to me but I decided to do this instead and then jump into the next challenge ?
