@Arcangelo please expand your thoughts ?

@Chumbimba too late but why. Hahah

Could anyone else living with a partner offer some advice? Thank you in advance

hahaha i like that. i tend to expect stuff "GET OUT, I NEED SOME ME TIME" its pretty good stuff, thanks Roy!

its not really a program. i used these 9 exercises + some foam rolling . i did 20-30 min a day. only skipped 1 day https://www.yogiapproved.com/yoga/stretches-for-splits/

Thank you for the report billiesimon! its been great reading you. I notice you trip frequently. What do you do to integrate your trips?

2.5 weeks in. Update , i can touch my toes now!!! I went from barely below the knees to touching my toes! i cant hold that position yet

thank you so much for sharing <3

@Cepzeu what did you do about it after?

yeah i agree. if you have these episodes of DR frequently enough, then it might good to not do psychs until you are able to be equinimous with the DR. it is really hard. when we are right in the middle of the panic attack, the last we wanna go is to let go, but the paradox is right there. there no way out but THROUGH! and no one can really help us . its all up to us. i think with practice, you can overcome that fear. watch leos video on how to deal with fear (or what is fear, i forget the exaact name of the title). it should help you . do you have a personal or family history of DR or psychosis? also read on kundalini activation symptoms, i dont know much about it but idk if it could be that you are experiencing as well. for me the state is never permanent. it is usually during panic attacks. and sometimes i even purposely try to trigger the state by visualization to try to face the fear.

A master Class on psychedelics and neuroscience. Available soon

Thanks for sharing! It was an insightful read. I have had several episodes of panic attack/DR/DP. I didnt completely lose touch with reality but i definitely had glimpse of those quite confusing and terrifying states. They are usually more pronounced after psychedelic trips where basically during the whole trip i "lost" myself. So i can see how those DR/DP states are more frequent after a trip. Also, i usually experience deep fear of ego-death during trips, which is a great resource for me to learn more about my fears and myself. It is actually the greatest discovery about myself: to discover that im scared shitless to die! After discovering this, you have the opportunity to dig further. You can ask yourself, why , where does this fear come from ? I can also see how DR and DP can be encountered during spiritual pursuits, because "to find yourself, you must lose yourself". Every now and then, when i have a panic attack and when i have the impeding sense of losing myself and my mind, i use it as an opportunity to learn, improve and listen to what my soul is trying to tell me. Its extremely hard to do when you actually feel like you are dying/dissolving, but you just have to trust yourself and let go. Meditation helps, contemplation helps and ultimately, i think psychedelics are great tools if you allow yourself enough time to integrate and recover. I like what the article said, because essentially it doesnt stigmatize DR/DP. I do believe that with the right approach, one could transcend it and it does feel like its a partial ego death. An ego death where one resists. How did you evolve past your first episode of DR? What is the trigger of your DR, or was it spontaneous ?

Great report, as always. Thanks for sharing i would like to know what you guys think of this long report someone else shared on the forum a few days ago@billiesimon @tedens @Leo Gura @Dand i saw your responses already https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=62070

Wow interesting ill read more in detail tomorrow but i would also love hear some psychonauts and Leo’s perspective on this thanks for sharing

Could you expand on this one please ?

@livg7046 how old is your son? From what we know so far, kids tend to have very mild symptoms, if any. And complications are extremely rare if the kid has no major health issue. Dont beat yourself up for it now. See what you can do to be more forgiving and loving

how to do that? does it also mean follow your impulses and all your desires?

how do we know if it is really what the heart wants, or if it was just a " impulsive desire"? really well said. there are many things in life that my heart wants, and i dont even dare to think/explore that possibility because of fear and change. thank you

@Raptorsin7 and its really short, i finished 1 week of lecture today in under 2h.

Im taking the Yale's happiness class, as shared on this forum and i did the VIA strength questionnaire https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register i find the strenghs that are lower on the list interesting as those are areas which i can work to improve / embody! just wanted to share this quick one

@Raptorsin7 i only started today! Ill get back to you in a few days but its mostly exercises so far. The class was actually 10min of lecture, then a bunch of practical exercises to do for the whole week until next week lecture

@Serotoninluv nice i looked it up and turns out ive been doing very similar stuff! Stretching is indeed very meditative

3 days in and i already see improvement! Still cant touch my toes haha. i do 3-4 different hamstring stretch, then 3 hip stretches, a bit of quads, calves, then foam roller after my run.

Merci beaucoup everyone

@StarStruck could you share?
