5-MeO-DMT and the breath.

[Hippocrates]

Greetings,

I am very grateful for the opportunity to speak to you here in this amazing forum. 

Somehow the entheogen ended up in my life yesterday. I tried it. May post a trip report separately but I am writing here for a specific reason. 

There was nothing. Total whiteness, no senses ,nothing. Absolutely nothing. "I" felt nothing, heard nothing, touched nothing, saw nothing, thought nothing.  Yet this lasted only for a brief moment. I felt the air hit my throat and thoughts started slowly creeping in.   "I should breathe" "If I don't take a breath I am going to die" , "Wow", "This is so beautiful"  .

The ego started to come back. The breath brought me back and I realized that the breath is my only link to this world. I realized this most basic simple thing in a very profound way. Yet I know almost nothing about it . Yes I am aware of some of the different breathing methods that exist , but I do not know much about the breath.  I have to educate my self further , would appreciate any resources and material that you may have on the subject. 

I am going to try again this week . I'll have to let go completely and somehow forget about the breath (or maybe force myself to stop breathing?)

Thank you very much for your time.

White light normally means too high of a dose, how much did you inhale? I assume it was smoked/vaporized.

Now you know why many culutures call breath spirit.

@Hippocrates Next time take a lower dose, so that you actually stay there and learn something. That's why you're tripping in the first place.

One time I was one 5-MeO, and at the beginning of the trip I was very confused and I struggled with breathing because I thought maybe it was preventing me from breaking through. So I thought, I'll just stop breathing. Then, "someone" laughed at me and said: "What the fuck are you doing? Breathe, motherfucker, breathe." So I just stopped intervening and I just let go. That trip turned out to be the deepest and the most beautiful one I had.

Also, be curious about who/what you are. I think that should be the intention of your trip if you want it to be a learning experience.
