Is anyone here regularly practicing TRE (Trauma Release Exercises)? I recently started working with a certified practitioner and I'm curious about long-term experiences. How long have you been practicing, and what changes have you noticed over time, especially emotionally and psychologically? Have the benefits been lasting? Any negative experiences? Would love to hear some honest experiences.

It's like trying to understand God by reading the Bible.

This is only scary as long as your ego is still holding on to its fears. Once you cross that line, it's fine. At least for me. Now, I'm not talking about Leo-level trips.

Try doing much lower doses at the start, until you get comfortable with it. Lie down, open your body, and treat the session as something sacred. The room you're tripping in is the only place you should spend your time during the trip, no matter how bad it feels. You probably have a lot of psychological baggage that you're forced to face during such a trip. It's not easy. I've been there. Just go low with your first 20 trips. You will build the capacity to go higher. Taking doses that you currently cannot stand won't do you any good. I would suggest reserving a time window of two hours or so each time to simply observe your emotions without judgment. Locate them inside your body, observe them, and don't judge them. If you get lost in thoughts or feel the need for distraction, try to gently come back to feeling.

Plugging has never worked for me. I've tried some extremely high doses several times.

My own irony every time i take a psychedelic : "Me, my problems, my purpose and my whole life are just a fucking joke." Not so funny, but somehow it makes me laugh every single time.

Leo's "ultimate life purpose" course helped me tremendously in finding/choosing my own purpose.

Psychedelics can help you reconnect with your childlike curiosity and discover what genuinely excites you. That can be a great foundation for finding your purpose. But they can also weaken the ego-driven ambition you might actually need to pursue it. Have you figured out what your purpose is? And are you actively working towards it? If psychedelic experiences repeatedly give you profound insights, but your actual human life remains unchanged, they may have become a form of avoidance. I think the answer to your question lies somewhere in there.

I had the same issues. REBT method solved this problem. Just sit with yourself in a room with no distractions for 10 minutes daily and observe these pictures you have on your mind. Don't fight them. Do this for 10,15 days and see what happens. Be aware that this condition may be even more severe at the start of doing this, but it's normal. I had huge leap after a fourth day. Now, 2 months later, I have no issues with it at all.

Using Teal Swan's completion process on low doses of 5-MeO-DMT is the best thing I have ever done towards dealing with root causes of my emotional issues. I didn't find anything that comes close to that level of healing, but it's also something that requires a tremendous amount of emotional strength. I am happy I came across her work.

READ THIS FIRST! #### Tips for Improved Safety and Efficacy: - Use the MINIMAL necessary amount of water to simplify the process. - AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT to prevent the degradation/burning of HCl salt and maintain potency. - Conduct this process in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to potentially harmful fumes. - Keeping experiments on a small scale is recommended for safety and accuracy. - Aim for larger clumps during collection for easier handling. #### Required Materials: - HCl salt - Sodium Carbonate (NOT baking soda) - Toothpick for mixing - Soup Spoon as a mixing vessel - Candle for controlled heating #### Recommended Ratio: Use a 4:1 ratio of HCl salt to Sodium Carbonate. For example, combine 40mg of the HCl salt with 10mg of Sodium Carbonate. #### Step-by-Step Process: 1. **Weighing the HCl Salt**: Accurately weigh the HCl salt needed. (I suggest using Micro Scoops.) For instance, 40mg. 2. **Placing the HCl Salt**: Place the weighed HCl salt in the center of the spoon. 3. **Measuring Sodium Carbonate**: Weigh out the Sodium Carbonate precisely. Use 10mg to match the earlier example. 4. **Mixing the Components**: Mix the Sodium Carbonate and HCl salt together on the spoon with a toothpick. 5. **Preparing for Heating**: Light the candle, but wait before placing the spoon over the flame. 6. **Adding Water**: Add ONE or TWO drops of water to the spoon, avoiding direct contact with the mixture initially. 7. **Incorporating Water**: Use the toothpick to gently mix the water into the chemical mixture. 8. **Controlled Heating**: Hold the spoon above the candle flame, stirring continuously. Remove from heat when the mixture begins to foam, but keep stirring. (Do not let it evaporate! I actually got slightly high during this process.) Repeat the process until you achieve a paste-like consistency. 9. **Observing the final product** The finished product should be a moist, tan, clumpy powder, similar in texture to wet brown sugar, with minimal oily residue. 10. **Drying the Freebase**: Spread the freebase powder on paper to dry. It will remain somewhat sticky. 11. **Final Analysis**: After drying, the freebase is ready for further examination. 12. **Storage Recommendations**: Store the freebase in a silicone/glass/plastic container.

It's a heat sink, meant to take away some heat while inhaling.

Exactly.

@Leo Gura What about e-mesh? I don't think there is anything more efficient and portable as e-mesh. It's easy to gather parts needed to build it.

Awesome. Good luck!

You wanna say you’ve never touched yourself? Ignore the potential double meaning behind my question

Ocasionaly we also eat cats.

Damn @Lila9 , that was beautiful. You make life sound like a love letter.

As I already pointed out in a PM a month ago.

Letho, I’d choose you as the new Pope over Leo Gura any day.

I heard he recently became the Christian Pope. That’s how deep the corruption runs. Now he’s harvesting likes and blind faith straight from the Vatican!

I vape it on E-mesh. It's super fast and intense. I’d rather plug it, if only it actually worked on me.

Same here. I guess our asses just aren’t made for breakthroughs!

Exactly. It’s pretty much like getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer while riding the wildest roller coaster in the universe.

You can use it as your first psychedelic-nothing matches the intensity and radicality of 5-MeO. You won’t be prepared anyway. It’s good you’re planning to do it with a facilitator, since you don’t know how your body will react. I’ve had wild experiences with it- some could’ve gone very badly. Even with a trained guide, educate yourself on dosage, ROA, and the nature of the experience. Also, work on your traumas beforehand - this compound can unleash all your buried pain at once, and that’s not pleasant. That being said: Put all expectations aside. Learn to relax. Breathe. Open your body. And most importantly -trust.
