meditation on microdosed truffles

[phoenix666]

I expected it to be twisted, murky and mindfuck like my past shroom trips. but it was more like a very, very deep relaxation. I felt at peace with everything, with the world around me and most importantly, with myself. for once, nothing to change. it is perfect the way it is. do you see it? <3

insights:

music and overall environment are very important. sounds influence our mood so much. music opens the gates of our emotions. throughout the whole experience I listened to lovely Erik Satie, I think it was part of the reason I felt so at peace. when I closed my eyes, I could see the sounds. (I think this phenomenon is called syensthesia?) every tone had a special color and shape, it all moved, interconnected and played together with the slow rhythm of the music. I could not only see, but actually feel the music. I realized how much it influences my mood. I could literally feel my emotions, mood, relaxation merge with the music. I will listen to music more consciously in future.

what happens around us has a big impact on our inner world. decide wisely and consciously what you surround yourself with. what do you eat? what do you see? what do you hear? over time, all that shapes you.

I have a lot of thoughts. I was at peace with it. thoughts are not my enemy, my mind is not some big evil I wanna fight. I still have a lot of questions, but I start coming at peace with them being open. for once, there was nothing to ask anymore. nothing to figure out. it just is. right now. nothing I wanted to achieve and to hold onto. everything was perfect the way it was. it was one sweet moment emerging out of another <3

I hope that can inspire some of you guys! thank you all, you keep inspiring and motivating me <3

Satie is amazing.  When I was coming down from LSD I listened to him and could make out the musical structures he was painting with that piano!  That's called musical story-telling.  His range and use of chords is amazing.  He is like a painter that became a piano player.  And he plays with so much heart and he takes his time.  You can tell that he basically just played to himself in an empty room and that was his composition medium.  They call this furniture music -- or piano music haha.  Imagine sitting in and old wooden room on a wooden chair listening to Satie play the piano, maybe with a few other people in attendance.  That's performance art at its finest.  And then you have the great acoustics of the piano resonating with the room.
