Does environment matter for a 5-MeO trip?

Does environment matter for a 5-MeO trip? Meaning, is it suggested my surrounding are meaningful to me, like should I be in beauty, surrounded by nature? Or would just anywhere, like my room, be fine? Does it matter at all what you wake up to? Or is it like you're a new born baby, seeing everything new for the first time, so where you are would be inconsequential? Does it matter if it's light or dark /day or night?

@Jed Vassallo From the perspective of the person, setting certainly matters. It is very important in how pure presence will get contextualize by the mind and body as an experience.

Your room is fine. You don’t need anything snazzy. No bells or whistles needed. Some of my deepest insights have come while staring at a white ceiling in my bedroom.

I would avoid settings with a lot of people and those that could be perceived as unsafe.

Thanks. Good to have that perspective. 

I couldn't imagine doing that around people. Seems very personal to me. It's an inward journey. Other people around seems like distraction.

I'm afraid to do it in my room. With reading many reports of screaming with first breakthroughs. I live with roommates, so that would be bad.

So figuring doing it in my car in a secluded area for my first few breakthroughs. Once I feel comfortable with the process, I'll move to my room to continue further explorations.

I think at home alone is good, especially on your first trip. Its easier to let go of control in your own house or apartment in my experience.

But any place were you feel safe and comfortable is good. Ah just read you have roommates, I can really advice you to invest a stay at hotell, it will be worth the money for sure
