my first GUIDED magic shroom experience (trip report - Part 1)

Well, I finally did it. A few days ago, I participated in a 2-day magic shroom retreat. But this wasn't your typical "Hey, let's get together and have a good time, man" hippie-style activity... It was a PROPER deep group therapy retreat including: -- Professional therapists and psychologists -- A carefully selected set & setting (super important for these types of trips!) -- Pre-vetted participants who already had lots of self-development experience -- And proven group therapy & bodywork methods used during the ceremony In other words... It was as "legit" as possible. And it really showed... Because I (along with everyone else) had some truly PROFOUND realizations! So in this email, I want to share a few of these with you. Hopefully, you'll find it interesting and helpful :) Let's start with... ​ Phase 1: The Prep ​ Just like you don't suddenly start blasting your list with hardcore sales emails whenever you want to launch something... You don't just suddenly take magic shrooms without preparing for it beforehand. In our case, this meant... -- Not eating any animal-based food a day before the trip (for digestive purposes) -- Having a few-hour-long "check-in" round to strengthen the bond between group members (stating our intentions, our challenges, and what we're looking to get out of this) -- A 30-min "OHM" meditation (to harmonize the vibrations within our body) -- And a few other mindfulness & visualization rituals Most people definitely overlook this part... But it's pretty important if you want to maximize your chances of having a "good" trip. (although no trip is 100% "good" or "bad"... it's always a mix) So after the pre-launch Prep phase, we moved on to... ​ Phase 2: The Comeup ​ In the same spirit of mindfulness, we then finally ate the shrooms. I took 3g-s (which is a medium-strong dose for someone like me)... And then another 0.5g "booster" after 1 hour. So in total, it was 3.5g-s... Not quite a "Heroic Dose" that results in total "Ego Dissolution"... (where you as a person disappear and you kind of become one with the Universe) But enough to "open up my Consciousness to a higher plane of existence" to a certain degree... ...while still mostly retaining control over my body and Self. Basically, the sweet spot if your goal is to work on yourself in a therapeutic way. And that was exactly my goal :) So... About 20 minutes after consuming the shrooms (in powdered form), I got my first taste of its effects. And things escalated quickly from there! 😀 Here's the thing though, {NAME}: Despite being a copywriter who is supposed to be a master of words... I simply don't have the words to describe what I experienced during this Comeup phase. It was just... Ineffable. (which basically means "too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words") And also weird... when explained to someone who never had psychedelic experiences before. But if you're curious... Probably the closest thing to describing it would be something like this: -- I saw plenty of fractals and weird repeating shapes, forms, and abstract faces (kind of like a Salvador Dali painting) -- I heard (and SAW!) frequencies and vibrations that made me realize THIS is the "language" of the Universe (kind of like the essence of "String Theory" in Physics) -- And I also realized that -- no matter how hard I was trying -- I simply couldn't understand what was going on. It was too weird. Way beyond what our human brains can comprehend... so after a while, I just took a step back, and observed this beautiful craziness 😀 Fortunately (or unfortunately?), this didn't last THAT long... Because -- after a while -- I found myself in... ​ Phase 3: The Main Trip ​ How long have I been in the Comeup phase? I have no idea... Time works differently when you're in the world of psychedelics 😀 But it was probably 45-60 minutes in "real world" time. Anyway... After a while, the intensity of this "Weirdness" gradually faded away... Which allowed me to direct my focus toward myself once again. That is... the deepest parts of my Psyche, Ego, and Mind. And this is the part where I experienced the most "revelations"! Dozens... hundreds... potentially THOUSANDS of "AHA Moments" when it comes to my past... My relationships... My deepest fears, insecurities, motivations, and things that actually make me tick! And the level of general "Clarity" about complex things in my life was just INSANE. So much so, in fact... That I've now just realized I need to dedicate another email to this topic. It would be a shame to only briefly touch on it at the end of this one. So yeah... Keep your eyes out for Part 2 of this story... And in the meantime... Hit Reply... and let me know which part you've found the most interesting (or if you had similar experiences before!)
