Intentions before a trip

[cjoseph90]

So ive done quite a few magic truffle trips before, but just wanted to get some ideas with intentions. They are usually the basic practical stuff such as

Some i usually contemplate is usually trauma healing, more self love/ confidence, people pleasing, letting go of hurtful past events ect.

I use what is most important to me at the moment. So sometimes what you said (trauma healing etc.) and other times deep questions like what am I, what is God, what is Love?

In the beginning you’ll set intentions that are targeted towards preserving the individual, false identity. But eventually you’ll realize that all of that was fruitless and can’t be maintained, and so your intentions will move towards higher truths.

It’s best to be honest with yourself with what’s keeping you stuck, otherwise you’ll get lost in your own fantasies for longer than necessary.

Firstly, hats off to you for using your truffle trips for personal growth and self-improvement - that's really making the most out of these experiences!

Given the intentions you've already mentioned (trauma healing, self-love, confidence, letting go of the past), it seems like you've got a solid focus on introspective exploration. I have a few more suggestions that you might find useful for your next trips:

Being Present: Psychedelics often amplify our senses and help us immerse in the present moment. You could use this to focus on how to be more present in your everyday life. Maybe ask yourself, "How can I let go of past and future worries and appreciate the now?"

Boosting Empathy: Psychedelics are known for boosting empathy and understanding towards others. You could think about how to enhance this in your day-to-day interactions. Consider questions like, "How can I develop a deeper understanding of the people around me?"

Cultivating Creativity: These experiences often ignite a spark of creativity. So, ponder on what really excites you and how you can bring more of it into your life. "What are my hidden passions?" or "How can I be more creative?" could be starting points.

Exploring Spirituality: Many find psychedelic experiences deeply spiritual. It could be a great opportunity to explore your personal beliefs and your connection with the universe. "What does spirituality mean to me?" or "How do I connect with the larger universe?" could be worthwhile questions.

Defining Life Goals: You can also take some time to reevaluate your life's direction and set or redefine your goals. "What do I want to achieve in life?" or "What steps can I take to move closer to my goals?" could be useful to consider.

Just remember, these are just ideas. Your trip is YOUR journey, and it's all about exploring what you feel you need to. Have a great and insightful journey, and feel free to share your experiences if you're comfortable doing so!

Stay safe, friend!
