@@orangerainbow Thank you ✨🙏
@@orangerainbow I agree. This channel doesn’t leave mushroom for improvement. Subbed!
Subbed!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Especially for the playlists! I needed them badly!
You're awesome!
Ive had more psy journeys and fun times than most ,I love mushies but if U think a Mushi trips better than mescaline ,U ain't doin it right bruv.All the best tho,the world needs more thinkers like you.cheers
1. Have food ready for after the trip, you'll be suffering from a bit of a protien deficit.
2. Remember you are sharing your mind and body with a sentient being in a temporary symbiosis.
3. Go it alone with someone nearby that you can call upon but go it alone.
4. There are no bad trips. You dont always get what you want but you will get what you need so be willing to surrender to the experience and Do Not fight it.
5. Low lighting, comfortable place to melt away, music. Ringers turned off, no surfing the net!
6. Go with it. If you find urself mumbling and flopping around just go with it. This goes back to 3. Go it alone lol. Just trust me, especially heroic doses are higher. You dont want to scare anyone lol. I've had my wife wake up at 4 am and I'm naked covered in the glowing stuff from glowsticks painted all over me wearing headphones crying joyously while chanting dancing and drumming on the floor like a mad man on a magic carpet 😂
7. If you find yourself in a bad spot then smoke cannibas and or sing. Get blood flowing by standing up and dancing. However that may look, it will help.
8. Prepare yourself. Set aside the time and place. Make all the arrangements you need ahead of time and make sure you have intention. If you just eat mushrooms without much intention you could easily find yourself in a Squirrely place.
Bonus tips:
9. Eat enough. 3.5 is a good full trip, no need to go straight to 5 dried grams in silent darkness. Speaking of silence....Its NOT Silent! 😬😎 and can be very freaky.
10. Listen and speak to the mushroom. Whether you believe it or not the mushroom speaks, teaches, and shows a lot of messages through the visual content, the emotional content, and through speaking directly to you.
I liked your list! Just thought I'd throw mine out too. Basically the same.
Mush love people!
Shpongle, Shwamp, Vini Vici, out of orbit, outsiders, are a few good music choices. I always find something new.
solid tips. number 10 is extremely true.
Love your list of tips, thank you for sharing!
just a question about the food what type of food because i know on acid the only thing i could properly stomach was sour sweets every time i tried to eat like pizza or like just any other food than sour sweets i couldn’t finish
💯💯💯
I can tell you're a fellow friend of Terrence McKenna. RIP
I am being called by the mushrooms. I’m 70 and have a cancer diagnosis which I’ve refused treatment for. Doctors said 6 months. I’m now at just over 2 1/2 years and feeling good. Thanks for these guidelines. I feel ready.
❤
Why did you refuse treatment? And I hope you live well for many years to come
@@theunholybanana4745 I’ve never been one to go to doctors and I worked in the Medical Faculty of a major University for 26 years and saw what bumbling fools many of the doctors were (that’s a story in itself but the “trust your doctor” slogan no longer made sense). Also, even with 8 weeks of chemo, surgery, radiation and another 8 weeks of chemo, the odds they gave me weren’t good so I said NO. They badgered and threatened me for weeks and when I still said no, they told me I’d be dead in six months. I didn’t want them making my decisions for me and didn’t like them treating me like I was a fool. Thanks for the good wishes!
Did you trip yet? How was it for a first time at 70?
🙌🏼 sending so much love ❤
I just tried MUSHROOMS for the first time. I felt as if i was in the center of the universe. I didn't go crazy after such an extreme experience. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.
Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues, anxiety and depression. Likely will be one of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime
Yeah lots of people got off addictions such as smoking from only 1-3 times of using mushrooms ( psilocybin )
Hey you! I've seen you comment on other mushroom videos! I'm glad you had a great experience. I'm looking forward to my first one soon.
You say this on almost every similar video I've watched on mushrooms today!!!!
@@Spoofkillong😂
The magic isn't in the shroom. It's already in your mind. Psilocybin (or other psychedelics) are keys that open up higher levels of consciousness. Literally. This is why music, which is already a higher level of consciousness experience, is so amazing to listen to. It's also why you set intention or ask a question, because the "key" opens up levels of wisdom that aren't always accessible and can help you achieve insight that is much clearer and more profound than the sober mind has access to.
I love that - "the key opens up levels of wisdom".
Closed eyes or better yet an eye mask along with a great playlist. That was a game changer.
That’s funny because the caps I take even at just a regular 3.5 grams on my weed scale music is absolutely irrelevant and not even useful during the come up or peak more like when it’s wearing off. I like funk music a lot but can’t stand any music when I’m peaking . Feels like a human construct that’s getting in the way of my true experience. That’s just me tho.
Single dad of two here, never a drug user (minus some teen years 17-19) Im in my late 30's and had them recommend by a friend. I had finally finalized all the divorce paperwork (married for 14 years but seperated with full custody for the last 3 years and just needed to find something.... problem was i didnt even know what i was looking for, if that even made sense at the time, strangely as im sure many others can attest, it makes perfect sense now. I can admit i was a bit bold with my location but I'm glad I did) I went on a two day back pack camping trip alone (I told a friend and had agreed on a pick up plan if needed and had cell service in my location) First day i hiked 3 miles and set up camp by about 3 near a waterfall in a national park. I maped out my area in my mind for later then had some water and a small meal (a sandwich) and set up some glow stick markers (use blues and greens HAPPY COLORS lol, I used a few red but found my self covering the red ones up later) to help myself navigate at night. I put my head lamp on and took them at about 6pm in my tent and enjoyed some music. About an hour later I felt relaxed with a smirk (smile) coming on so I opened my tent and ill never forget that feeling. I felt in that moment like I just opened a doorway. If you've done them you will understand the next few statements. I felt like I was in this body tucked away in a tiny cubby (my tent)..... then the door flew open a fucking disappeared!!! The expanse of the world/ universe hit me (in a good way) I spent time walking a bit (never more than 200 yards from home base the tent) then sat on a bolder (about 6 foot tall) and watched the sunset painted across the world. WOW!! It was at this point the real "peak" started. After that and the sun went down I used the lack of light to make what light was left so powerfully emotionally (this is when I hid the red glow sticks lol) after that toooooo much happened through the night to explain but in the end I watched the sun rise listened to the forest come alive (birds bugs ect) and layed down to rest. Then I ate a MRE and just journaled alot of the day (and texted the all good to my buddy). Then i took a walk for the sunset. (felt some mood shifts and the colors were still vibrant) i dont recommend driving for 24 hours. It was at about 9 pm that I really got some good sleep. Then woke up at 8 am. Packed up, hiked out and went home and changed man (TRULY NOT THE SAME IN MY MIND AND SOUL) I can't recommend it enough to try once. I loved the journey. That was over a year ago and havnt used them since (havnt felt the need or wanted to) I will agian one day im sure but for now I'm right where I want to be in my journey around this galaxy we call home 😉
I live in Colorado, born and raised. Once took 3-4 grams and went on a hike up near Winterpark. Somehow my friends and I stumbled upon the most gorgeous trail. The mushrooms didn’t fully hit me until about an hour into the hike. There was slow and gradual changes at first, and then BOOM!!!!
The forest sprang to life in a way I’ve never experienced. Before, the scenery was a beautiful site to walk amongst. Then suddenly it felt like the entire forest was a conscious entity in itself. An energy I’ve never felt before overtook and consumed me entirely and I was no longer just “IN” the forest and nature. I was APART of it. The trees seemed to dance and wave. Every blade of grass began to shimmer and dance and almost welcome me with each steps. Every stone, pebble and artifact on the ground became an endless sea of diamonds and little specks of lights that left trials as I was walking. The SOUNDS!! I could HEAR the mountains nearby breathe!!! The wind sounded like the nature around us was drawing in huge breaths of air. It was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before. I truly felt like I had entered some new dimension.
We end up finding these rocks perfectly setup near a creek, which almost seemed to perfect, as it seemed like a rocky living room, with perfect couch shape and bench shaped rocks. It felt as if the forest led us there. We sat there enjoying every sensation for at least an hour or more. I sat there with tears in my eyes cause of how beautiful and amazing everything was. It’s an experience I believe everyone should experience at least once.
The bliss and peace feeling it left me after the shrooms began to reside stayed with me all throughout then night and for most of the next 2-3 days. It was beyond therapeutic. I had major revelations and insights and decided to make some major life changes.
That was 10 years ago and I can honestly say if it haven’t have been for that experience I wouldn’t be where I’m at in life today. The mushrooms are truly a gift from the spiritual world and from God.
Wow! What a beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
What a lesson you learned. These plants are here to help us awake and reconnect to the beauty and joy within all. This transcends everything we know in this world. I lived through and experienced the 60's and early 70's and what you described is why the establishment fears nothing more that all of us awakening to the fact that we are here to care and love each other and all living things. It is impossible to support wars and other destructive policies when you know that not only are all of us brothers and sisters but to understand and feel the very real connection we share. We are part of a wonderful and magical universe, it is a joyful and blissful experience to realize this. Share the love.
I had the same kind of experience. I could feel the presence of a tree and it connected with me.
Feels like it is alive. Because it is alive. But shrooms help you see it . They help you see that dimension.
The first time I tripped was alone and it was the most amazing experience in my life. I basically realized that I was god and completely alone in the whole universe, and that really helped me to process my childhood trauma and fear of being alone. The 2nd time I tripped was with my best friend and it was really fun and light but not so deep. I still prefer doing it alone
wow that's exactly what happened to me too
Here's a fun one for experienced psychonauts only. If you take like 3-4 HUGE hits of weed in a row while on mushrooms and hold em in for a minute with ur eyes shut you'll get an AMAZING show of supercharged visuals! 😂 The mushroom taught me that lol.
@Beankiller2004 taking psychedelics is never advised.
Funny u bring this up because I was telling someone about this the other day...except for myself, it only takes ONE hit , due to the fact I am extremely sensitive to cannabis for some odd reason, even after 25 years smoking with regularity.
@@dogcat2994that’s a blessing bro u get to save so much fuckin money dawg and u can smoke delta and still get high asf😭😭
You probably shouldn't do any of that in terms of beginner trips. 1+1 does not equal two. For a beginner that could be way too overwhelming, I understand how that could be cool but not for the purposes of this video. Don't do this unless you are ready for WHATEVER comes your way
@@robertfrost6421 Whatever lil guy. Smoking cannibas is highly recommended for beginners for the Onset and also to calm them down at the peak by the big majority of the Psychedelic community and holding in your hit of cannibas as long as you can is exactly how you are supposed to smoke cannibas to absorb the substance as best as possible.
Buzz off Karen and your channel sucks ass too. I'm not sure why/how I even managed to land myself here but I regret it. Preach more useful and meaningful things instead of smarting off Little Mom Baby trash like "Do not smoke cannibas while on mushrooms if you are a beginner!" 👀🤦🏾♂️
How embarrassing my man. Have some fun, live a little and dont try to save people from smoking pot while on ANY substance.
Speak to the mushrooms before you take them is probably the best and most simple advice in this video. Thanks friend mush love🍄✨
❤️🍄✨
My first one, past the micro dosing, was only 2 grams and I FREAKED OUT!!! I’ve never been high on anything before. I’m 66 yrs old. But after my son died and I got trapped in poly myalgia rheumatica- I thought I needed to push it. OMG! Now I know what to expect, so I’ll do it again. My after effects were too good. I wrapped myself in a blanket, kept my eyes closed, cuz the tv was just geometric patterns, and after 2 hrs the heavy stuff was over. But my black hole is gone! My husband will tell you he sees a different me. I highly recommend them. But next time I may pay to have a coaching call from you!!!!
Hi Lori - I’m sorry about your son. 🙏
I like how you put it: “the black hole was gone”. Really glad to hear that your experience had positive effects ❤️✨ and yes, feel free to reach out any time!
I am going to have my first experience this Saturday. I am very nervous/excited for this experience. I am doing it with friends who I love and trust. One of those friends is also trying it for the first time so I won't feel alone. Thank you so much for this video, I needed this. If you like this comment I'll remember to come back to this video and share my first time experience with it ✨🍄
How did it go?
Very helpful..75 yr old man discovering the mushroom experience..thank you
So glad to hear it, Jeff!! Wishing you some amazing adventures :)
I just got shooms today. I need it more than you know. They called me.
I free of all drugs 1st time in my life. Got a new baby 1 year old. Lost 2 brothers mom and dad to death and departure. Never have i felt this disparity. This video is absolute gold. I subbed because its that amazing. Im going into the forrest alone. Little worried. Told my square girl im doing this. Wish me luck .thank you so much.
I have not tripped in a long long long time but have been asked to be a trip sitter. Brushing up I found this video perfect to set the stage for my involvement and to send to the friend I am sitting in for her first time.
I’m so glad it helped Diana 🙏❤️
I 100% think you need to be completely honest with yourself while on a trip, you can hid your thoughts and insecurities and that “bad trip” is just you fighting with yourself. If you accept who you are and how you’re doing you will feel a lot better, remember the shrooms ARE YOU they’re your mind, you can’t lie to yourself when you’re that deep into your subconscious and trying to fight it can be very dangerous
Music does our mind good no matter what state of mind we are in. Always plan on having a back up of something to do to keep yourself occupied. You don’t want to just sit there and be bored. You said stay in your room. A lot of people find that taking a walk brings positivity, especially when the trip starts to come down.
A walk is super nice, especially at the tail end of a trip!
I never tripped alone due to reasons you mentioned, but I feel I will take the ride solo, also due to the reasons you mentioned.
Thank you James!
Have a good trip :) let me know how it goes!
Weird because its total opposite for me I strictly only trip alone. I try to be extra safe by having an emergency trip killer ready (any kind of benzodiazepine) Idk how they work so well but a xanax will genuinely end an INTENSE trip even 5-7 grams of shrooms within 10-30 minutes. Its only for just in case since benzos are bad for you but I have definitely freaked out 2 or 3 times and had to end the trip.. Super grateful for them. Hell even just knowing in the back of mind that I have a way out if i need it... probably prevents bad trips in the first place sometimes. Psyched substance has a good video about trip killers
@@tongbokes5820..That’s very interesting & useful information. I’ll make sure to keep some tablets handy just in case, thank you..💚
Thank you! Your delivery on each point here is 👌👌👌
Very well put! All beginners and even most advanced psychonauts should be watching this.
Thanks for the kind words ❤️✨
It’s soothing listening to you. So much great advice. Recently received a key to unlock the mind and plan on going on a trip. Getting a late start but as they say…
Thank you! Have a great trip!!🙏✨
Very informative! I had no idea about the intention setting with the shrooms. So awesome. Wish I had this video ages ago! Thank you. Great video!
Thank you, my friend. Intentions are beautiful. Before you start your trip, I recommend writing in your journal or notes app, "Intentions for this trip:" and make a bullet point list of anything that comes up, both around how you want the trip to go (do you want it gentle, do you want intensity, do you wanna go deep) as well as what you'd love to learn, work on, or connect with during the trip.
Thanks for your calm video
“Beautiful souls” I normally don’t see people like that. I mean I think everybody has good and bad in them but I have so much social anxiety and I’m not comfortable with myself when I’m around people. But I love people, feelings are complicated, but that’s why I wanna do shrooms so I can better connect with myself and the world around me and so I feel not so disconnected and nervous.
Although this will be my fourth time, this video has some great tips! My favorite being that you set your intentions and talk to the shrooms before you take them into your body. I love that and I can’t wait to see how it helps me work through my problems. Instead of getting stuck in my own loop like I normally feel emotionally. Great vid ❤
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxietyNot until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episodeenough to start working on my mental health
Dr.raymycolx is the best. He's been my go to for anything psychedelics and shrooms. He's very good
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
I hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice!
i have BPD too! and i do marijuana and it has HELPED SO MUCH, i felt like it saved my life!! Today im going to be doing Shrooms so im super excited to see how this works out! :D
update: I became a massive BXTCH when i got off them. I learned its the side effect of taking psychological medicine. :( cant do shrooms anymore
Thanks James! Doing my first trip in an hour. I'm very much excited and nervous. I appreciate all your wisdom and feedback in this video. Cheers!
How did your trip go ? This will be my first time
@@Tayylovee_ It was a great experience. It was a loving experience and I got emotional at times but it was a good feeling not sad. I hope you have an awesome trip. I really took it very serious, set and setting, and set some intentions, and I felt very safe the whole time. One thing that I've never read before was how amazing music sounds during the trip. I listened to meditation music and I'll never get over the sound. That blew my mind more than anything. I can't even explain it. Let me know how yours goes. What kind of mushrooms?
Great advice, thank you for your guidance.
great video, I will use this in my forthcoming trips, your delivery is very calming 🙏
🙏 safe tripping! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for the advice. Very helpful
Gonna watch this before I trip tmrw ❤
Hi James, I really like your videos, you explain it well. I hope you will make many more on shrooms trips
Thanks so much! I will make more videos! If there's any specific questions or topics you'd like to see me explore, let me know!
I have never taken a dose strong enough to break through, simply because I am worried about being so taken by what I see and simply forget to breath and really, physically die. Does that happen?
When l first did mushrooms in the 80's l had a big dose. I left my body, saw my previous lives, astro travelled at will, visited various countries at will and walked around invisible (my soul), and had many crazy experiences. While travelling throughout the universe l saw a sea of brilliant lights and heard the most uplifting exhilarating music l have ever heard while travelling extremely fast. Later on back on earth I also heard watched a big music show that did not exist, and all the lamps looked like horses heads. Yes, l went back in time, and l also heard old t.v shows and adds that used to play back in the 1970's.
Wow dude that's awesome
Wow, good for you👍🏽
On my first trip something told me to look at videos of trees and holy crap those visual distortions were so mesmerizing
Thanks for the video! I've had a couple mushroom experiences in the past but they were only enough to see some light visuals. This past weekend, I took my first "real" dose. I was definitely in space and experienced many of the things that so many people report. However, I felt like my experience was hindered by the fear of not knowing what was going on with my physical body. I did this alone. I was scared that while my mind was in space that my body might leave my apartment and do crazy things. I kept coming back to check in on my body. Unfortunately, this seemed like it was my main focus. It was a distraction. Hoping that next time I'll be able to trust that my physical body will stay put so that I can gain more from the trip.
I would think if you were fine during the first trip then the mushrooms agree with your chemistry. I’m sure you understand the trip now so don’t hold yourself back from fear. Maybe do 20-30 minutes of guided meditation before the trip sets in. You will then be in a better state of mind and more open to the trip.
Thanks for your insight.
Dude, that’s excellent. I appreciate the information and the comfortable way you delivery it. Well done.
Thank you! Always happy to pass on the knowledge forward.
I appreciate you. This was very helpful, I’ll be trying again tonight!
Ooh, tripping on the new moon. Good timing :) Let me know how it goes!
Thank you James,
came across your channel looking for some more info before lift off.learned a few things what felt nice or annoying during the trip and what I would do differently next time.Did a careful solo trip yesterday with 7,5gr of beginner strength truffles.highlight was one of your playlist which made me “dance” around and I NEVER dance😊no visuals but a nice relaxing trip of 3 hours.lots to learn especially how to let go control and need a little bigger dose but first time was a success thanks to your tips and music🙏🚀✨🍄
Going on a journey now just ate some about 15 minutes ago thank you for the video.
Back now thank you for everything love you everyone.
Just read this now :) How did your trip go? Hope you had a wonderful journey!
Great advice! This guy knows what he's talking about. Drink water! Mushrooms contain lots of fiber. You need water to help that the day after. And fast for a minimum of 2 hours and 3 or more hours preferred. Otherwise you're going to experience a bloated feeling and lots of gas in the later stages. It's all worth it though if you go in respectfully and ask good questions. You may find a love that you never knew could run so deep. I'm not religious at all but went from complete agnostic to KNOWING God in one evening. Changed my life.
Amazing what you said about God! Thank you. Did you mean not to eat for 2-3 hours after the trip ends?
Thank you for this video. Very good & sound advice 💚
Great vid mate! thank you
Thank you!
I REALLY want to try psilocybin! I’ve been on some form of antidepressants for nearly 30 yrs and I just don’t think they work. So I want to look into psychedelics for my mental health, a complete confrontation of my life, hopefully looking at my life from a different POV. I need peace. I am terrified though of having a bad trip 😬
I dont know if you already tried but if not, I recommend you not to take those ''legal'' antidepresant shits and damage your organism. Mushroom can finish all your mental health problems just in one trip, no harmfulness, no addiction... This is one of the very precious gifts that nature gave us. Just get prepared well for the trip, as he is explaining very well in the video. And there is nothing to be scared if you prepared well. It loves you and does not wanna hurt you, it wants you to be happy :)
That’s good it means you respect them, they are the powerful healing substance they are made out to be but they can also be dangerous. Never take them out of desperation, if they are calling you prepare for them. Be with a truly loved one or if you don’t have someone/someplace suitable try to make new friends who are into spirituality and stuff and find a trip sitter that way, they are good people. Have an emergency exit pill and follow this video to a T it’s the best advice.
Also daily meditation of any kind in the mean time can prepare your mind and will give confidence of being able to direct your intentions and attention.
Great video, very insightful
Thank you!
Thank you! Very useful!
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
I just had my 3rd mushroom trip last night. It was so powerful. I had intentions and questions and I got them all answered in such a profound way. I got to be different people in my life. I literally was them for a moment and I got to experience their personality and thought. I also asked the mushrooms to use me to feel my mom and grandma’s emotions since they aren’t well and I am convinced it is due to unresolved trauma. I got to feel so much last night and it was beautiful! This was my first solo trip. My first 2 my friend guided me. Without her I would’ve had a bad trip for sure! Now I know how to handle the first couple hours of confusion and scary thoughts before you get grounded! Thank you for your video!
Oh thank you soo much! I had my first time after watching this video. Your advices were very helpful. Before my trip I created an intention and asked what I want my trip to be like. Everything turned out exactly as I wanted. It was unbelievable beautiful, light and pleasant trip. So many things to think about after. Your words that you can talk to mushrooms, ask them, and dance with them helped a lot. I have never experienced anything so incredible. Today is my second time and I sat down to get ready for a new beautiful adventure. Thank you soo much ✨🦋🔮
Wonderful!! Thank you so much for sharing about your beautiful trip :)
So many great tips! Thank you!!!
✨🙏🔥
@AshleyRuiz-ru9bd that's ok. I'll just find the same information online for freeeee
So interesting. . . Thanks for this info, James 🙌
Thank you, Liana! ✨
Hi James, great videos, thank you
Thank you for tuning in :)
Doing my first trip in 3 days I can't wait
Good luck on your trip! 🚀
This should be interesting for anyone out there reading what's up in the world of someone doing mushrooms, but just to express myself here and to let things be as they may tonight I will be doing 3.5 grams as I am exactly the age that my mom was when she passed away today back when I was 17 and she was 56. So this is considered a Soul Journey as I will be taking it just before I go to bed tonight and I will just let myself ride into it as I fall asleep if that even happens. Lastly, I just want to say I appreciate this articulate, genuine expression of this topic.
Such a good explanation.. thanks for your effort
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Have a safe trip!
This is amazing information! Great video 🙏🏻
❤️✨ Thank you!
Thank you!! Glad it helped!✨🙏
I always looked at shrooms like a party drug. I took them a few times with friends and had a few laughs. Things just looked a little brighter...then the last time... I actually tripped. I thought people made that up. Luckily I was solo but with someone that cares about me and has my interests in mind and was sober and in a safe, comfortable place. The experience I had was so meaningful to me but not for the faint of heart. I will tread respectfully from now on and never look at shrooms as a party drug again.
🙏✨🚀 Yes indeed! Shrooms are powerful!
recently i actually got a “bad trip” because of a text message, i finished college recently, and i had gotten a message from my counselor, it was a link to apply for a job, and i started freaking out, my thought process was “im never gonna get a job(mine u it was trade school for electrical), it felt like i would never ever get a job, i freaked my self out
Thank you James
That's good advice! Thank you!
Have a great trip! 😉
Real kindness in this guide, thank you.
I had a mad time on my first trip from an almost solid mushroom shake. Saving the long story, it went very bad. Ten years later, I'm getting debilitating anxiety despite sustaining healthy habits in my lifestyle and I'm really interested in revisiting Psilocybin in a gentle way to see if it can make a positive change to my life.
I believe it can make a big difference for anxiety. You may want to start very gently, start with a very small dose, and have a trip sitter nearby. This will ensure a positive "re-introduction" to psilocybin. Good luck and have a blessed journey :)
Im 35 and never ever done any drugs, weeds whatsoever and since i found out about psychedelics last year i wanna start slowly by shrooms first and i might gonna experience this in some weeks for the first time by the grace of gods and universe.. im only doing this to get insights and downloads and growth im nervous but ready i think... thanks a lot for the detailed video. Its super helpful 🙏
You’re very welcome! Just go into it with a pure intention (to learn about yourself, to learn about the Universe) and make sure you’re in a great environment 🙏 have a great trip!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a bout to do my first mushroom 🍄 trip in two days.
I’m going to take a small dose and am so anticipated.
I also have plenty of pot just in case.
I’m excited for you!! Let me know how it goes. Personally, I would recommend not mixing any pot with the mushroom trip, just my two cents.✨ Enjoy the trip!
How did it go!
My first trip was crazy, but it was also amazing, and yup, I had no guidance, family was around, and I was being constricted by my husband, it was insane! But it was amazing too. Maybe I needed it for it to be like that.
It all works out how it's meant to! And now you have lessons and ideas for how to make the next trip even better. :)
Well spoken, wise words to adhere...
Great vid
I usually follow the same principles!!
Bravo man !!
♥🙏
I loved your video....very instructive. Thank you so much for sharing❤I’m going on my first in a weeks time.
Wonderful! Have a beautiful first trip!
I normally check my vibe before my journey and will wait until I know it's right. Last journey I was in a disagreement with my mom right before it and was nervous about my journey. I decided to go anyway. I heard a song that changed my life. The song was new to me. I didn't sleep and when my mom woke up I confronted her about her behavior and it became a positive. I always seem to get what I need
Love your story!!! I have to say…you are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! 🍄
@@BuddyDanger thank you so much 💜
@@ladonna232 are you married lol where you from
a helpfull video everybody has to watch before tripping. Preparation is key. We don't get in an airplane without knowing how to fly. Same counts for psychedelics imo
Yessir! Preflight shroomy instructions!😁
I'm doing my first mushroom trip in three days, and this video helped me a lot to overcome the last insecurities that were running through my mind. Thank you very much James. New sub here.
Thank you!! So glad it helped 🙏✨
@@emperorjames It realy does help, I took notes. I also operate with music, and like you, I have my own playlist of trip music. Thank you very much, goodpeed.
how was your trip?
not what I expected but it was pleasant surprise, music and art hit different actually, but I wouldn't do it again becaue it's a little expensive, at least here.@@laurenb916
Yes, how was your first trip?
Cool guy, very chilled vibes. I'd like to see more videos from you.
Thank you, more videos coming :)
Good info for new people getting into mushrooms,and good postive insites for even seasoned psychonauts,great stuff
Thank you! Glad to be of service 🙏
Heyyyy! Awesome video! Great tip!
Thank you! :)
What an amazing video. Thank you
🙏🌅✨
I’m 50 years old now And have tripped only 3 time on shrooms first time when 45y
First time on shroms in the swamp Forrest after paddling canote.. without really understanding or knowing what’s coming… from a big cigar box we started to eat shroom after Shroom…
After about 30 min the lights goes down like like someone draw down a curtain..☺️ then I remember the ground the meadow had a pattern like grid grid
remember how I in the beginning tried to lift my feet over it when walking … I didn’t know much about psychedelics back then I can tell😂.
But it just got better and better
It Treat me So kindly
And I remember thinking ..those who say it’s not allowed to eat shrooms like this are not kind or good people..
Remember, I had problems to understand the lyrics on the music
And the bass guitar sounds like the strings was like rubber band😂
Then I was convinced that it started to rain so I took my bag and took shelter under a big spruce after a while I understand that it was the water that flowed in the river, so no rain.
Back to the Meadow and watching the beautiful nature and the sky The peak can I never forget almost unreal but I was horny I guess felt like I felt the conductors from the testicles in my body
It felt very stormy and colorful like something was building up at last finally like an explosion..I came down I down very satisfied….
❤
Still Wondering how many grams I could have eaten..
Second time I was a coward.. the the shrooms was much much bigger And my thoughts race and I wonder what is this.
The third time too small dose, not even a gram
And now I must learn how to get them
Done LSD more than 15 times now.. love it
But I think I can remember that the shrooms are the best
Great video bro ❤
Thank you! ✨🙏❤️
The intention part resonated alot with me, i was used to taking 3.5 cuz I wanted alot visuals, but after watching your mate Tom's video on his 5-meo-DMT trip I wanted to find my self next trip, only had a gram left and took it , wow it really felt like the other trips it jus didn't have that many visuals the ones I had In peak felt like I was acseneded a new level to reality and then started exploring and hanging out with my brothers. I felt so genuinely happy, even after the trip I've found my self being more sociable and kind, I really feel like I'm on the path of finding my self.
Excellent and sound advice James. Thank you. I have taken shrooms for many years and this the clearest guidance I have ever heard 🤗 I will pass it on
Thank you so much 🙏✨
Loved this thank you. I’m about to have my first experience with this psilocybin and I have been healing in my journey for the past 5 years so I’m looking forward to this yet still uncertain. However I am very familiar with how fear works and when something may be beneficial to my growth …. It’s going to show up to cause resistance. But F** it I’m going this anyway. ❤
Have a beautiful first trip! 🙏
Thank you very much. Great advice.
Glad it was helpful! 🙏 Thank you for tuning in!
Thank you so much for your music recommendations. I listened to the anjunadeep edition 308 playlist and it guided me through my trip in the most perfect way.. it was amazing 🤩
I had one of my most spectacular trips set to Anjunadeep 308!! Amazing amazing set, took me to the next dimension 😄
I took a small dose of shrooms for the first time yesterday and I was by myself and I just layed down and rode it out. I took about a gram to test the waters and honestly I enjoyed the feeling and the light visuals and I felt very relaxed and comfortable. I’m planning to do the other 1.5-2grams by myself at night and go to the lake by myself and listen to music and just relax and experience the feeling of being alone and outside at night. After that I plan on getting a quarter and do half by myself and lay on the couch and just ride then after a couple days do another 3.5 at night walking around the lake and just be one with nature. While I’m a true novice in shrooms I want to feel this higher connection with nature and the universe I’ve never had access to shrooms but a buddy of mine turned me on to great mushrooms and I want to truly appreciate the treasures that mother nature has gifted to our earth. I truly believe that psychedelics can be cures to mental illness that traditional drugs do little to nothing for our mental wellness
I can tell you have worked closely with this medicine thank you brother finally finding my tribe, if i make it to USA to be a psychedelic therapist i will give you a call.
Peace
❤️🙏
James~
I really want to thank you for caring enough about your fellow myconauts to carefully put together this ‘how to’ video.
I’ve watched every myco trip video on UA-cam…yours is by far the best.
I’m in my 6th decade & had tripped on blotter & microdot many times in my late teens/twenties but it’s been a while.
Thank you for the kind words! Happy to help :)
Wow, what an amazing instructional video, about have my first mushroom trip in 10 years. I was a little nervous but your kind words have me looking forward to the journey. Thanks so much 🙏
I'll let you know what What I learn
Awesome to hear :) Let me know how your trip goes!
really appreciate the video, off to check out your recommended tunes to listen too. Thank you.
Thank you, glad the video resonated! Enjoy the tunes! :)
This was exceptionally thoughtful. Thank you.
Thank you! 🙏
You have a great asmr voice. Thanks for the helpful video 👍🏼
Thank you! Glad to help! :)
I am planning my first trip with a very good friend of mine and my partner will stay sober and be there for us if needed. I'm slightly nervous but I am very much looking forward to it. Thank you for the advices. I will definitely take all of that into consideration and I will share this video with both of them ahead of time.
Edit: I was wondering, is there a preferred kind of mushroom that you recommend for a first time? I'm looking at websites to buy some online but there are many kinds to choose from?
it brings you closer to forces that are always present and you’ve always known it feels familiar because it is. show the medicine the respect of a person be humble or it will humble you if you were underestimated you’d make a point to prove differently well the medicine will surely do the same.
This was extremely essential information
🙏❤️✨
My first one wasn’t that strong. It was fun, little bit of visuals but not much. I felt a pull to something dark I wasn’t ready to experience and was able to say hey I’m not ready for that and moved forward.
Going in this weekend, first time, with two of my close friends both of whom have extensive 🍄 experience. Fingers crossed. Thank you for these great pointers.
Have a wonderful trip! 🙏
@@emperorjamesThank you! Really looking forward to it. Just found out that what I got is 7g of Albino Penis Envy lol… most likely going for 1-1.5g per person, rest for microdosing later…
@@emperorjamesHey…so - what would be the reason for it not working?
1g start
0.5g 60’ later
0.5g
0.5g some 30’ apart
1.3g
Total 3.8g and nothing. Minimal possible something but - nothing.
I thought that APE was supposed to be up there… any thoughts? My buddies had self reported mild effects at 1.5g each, so it seems to have worked for them.
You so beautiful soul, thank you for sharing such important infromation! I got what I was looking for🙏🏽🤞🏼 thank you thank you 🫀🦄
You’re most welcome! 🙏✨❤️
For somebody who has done big LSD, Mushroom’s and DMT doses. This was extremely informative, I have always done the dose then rode whatever storm is thrown at me. Some really good tips here especially about asking the mushrooms what to show you.
Howdy, James! Jenny here, thank you for the advice 😙, much appreciated 😘
Always heard that when I did the work, asked the hard questions ❤️ and set my intention.... The opportunity would present itself. Truer words were never spoken.
P.s. Love ❤️ from Texas 🤠 brother ❤️
Thank you ❤️
Thank you, Jennifer!! Where in Texas are you?
@@emperorjames Brazoria County about 45 minutes from Houston. Grew up in Wild Peach village
@@Jsqared-aka-justjenn Very cool! I hope they have plenty of mushrooms 😄
Have an unsprayed pasture wish me luck 😁
This video is absolutely perfect! My first trip is today! I'll come back and update.😊
Wonderful! :) Let me know how it goes!
I also have a free mushroom trip checklist with some tips here: jamesxander.com/checklist
Wishing you a wonderful trip!
How did it go
@@mikefm4they never come back and share lol
All great advice! I've tripped alone literally hundreds of times. My largest dose was 8 grams. I've never had a bad trip. My receptors have built up a tolerance over years of tripping. One time, I tripped on golden teachers, and I laughed for over an hour during the trip, and I'm a person who very rarely laughs. My jaw was sore, lol! My partner said it was the only time he'd seen me laughing, and on another trip, he said it was the only time he'd seen me crying because my marijuana plant had died. 😅 I treat each trip as a sacrament.🙏
“I treat each trip as a sacrament.” ❤️🙏✨
Wish I had this video before I tried psychedelics sometimes I’m happy tho because I went into it with only what I thought about it so the trips were completely mine now after seeing so many videos and info I feel that I lose the actual connection with myself nothing like the first times trippen great video
I just started doing shrooms. One trip was the best experience of my life and I had 2 other incredible experiences and then I have no idea why....I had 3 trips that just didn't seem to work and I just felt sick and wondered why I did this and wasted my money. That happened 3 times in a row, so I stopped taking them. It's been a year now and I'm preparing to take 3.5oz again.
James, these are so great! I’m dying (at age 82) to do my first trip. I don’t have a trip sitter yet :( though. Thank you so much!
♥🙏 Wishing you a wonderful trip once you find a trip sitter!
