Stay Grounded - When You Break Down

Everyone can or may experience a "bad" or dark trip.
Here is a guide to help anyone out of an unpleasant experience:

Set and Setting - Set and Setting is the location of the current trip and the trippers current mind set. If the current set and setting is causing the unpleasant trip, You must change it as soon as possible. This can be done by turning on soothing music. Going outside. Rolling up in blankets and pillows. Lighting a candle or fire. Turning off the lights and using LED colored lasers. Burning sage or Palo Santo. Even having crystals around are great to distract a "bad" trip. Especially Black Tourmaline, Selenite, Smokey Quartz, and Blue Kyanite.

Stay Calm - When anyone is in a psychedelic altered state, They are extremely sensitive to Theirs senses and surrounding vibrations. This goes hand in hand with Set and Setting. To ease a trip is to stay calm and not freak out. The last thing a person having a dark trip needs is to have another person join Them and freak out even more.

Ground Yourselves - Give the tripper some space. Use tools to ground/distract both You and the person having the experience. Dance and sing, while leaving the person tripping entertained in awe with glassy eyes. Use positive but grounding distractions. Be creative and use Your set and setting to help You distract the tripper away from the darkness into the light. Water is an excellent tool to help ground so is a calm meditation. The best tools that modern and traditional shaman use is burning Sage or Palo Santo [holy wood] also a low toned drum in a steady beat. If the drum does not work; finding music that the person is familiar with will work, as long as it will ground that person and keep Them in a positive mind set.

Do NOT over analyze - The number one cause of unpleasant trips are over analyzations. Distractions prevent anyone, including YOURSELF, from over analyzing the situation. Just like in this paragraph this <--------- is a distraction from what We are focusing on....See how easy it is??? The more one feeds the over analyzation, especially the tripper, this can cause panic; which can lead to the tripper to potentially harming YOU, Them self, or anyone else present. This one time I used My long sleeve colorful tye dye shirt to wave in front of the trippers face while dancing. This distracted Him so much that it instantly took Him out of a state of panic into a state of tranquility.

The number one problem I think I have with tripping is that I feel like I'm doing something illegal, which leads to me thinking the neighbors what I ate..... The cops are on their way WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO, mental break down gets light headed vision fades passes out :lol: paranoid much

That's really nice to post this.
What about if you are tripping alone?
I've done a couple large doses on my own, and at one point, "I" was wondering how I got in this house, what a house was and what was an "I"???
I ended up writing my name down on a piece of paper
Mike. My name is mike. I am in my home. I am welcome and comfortable here.
For some reason I could read that, and since it was something"I" made, it made me feel comfortable even though I couldn't understand (what is a mike?? Lol)

If You are tripping alone. I feel One should know what They are getting into. (;
Very intense stuff tripping can be... Whenever I start freaking out, I take a shower, bath, or take a swim if possible... That will ALWAYS instantly ground Me and take Me to a heavenly place.

I also pray when I trip to ground Myself when tripping "alone".

I got the choice of either out deep in the sand pits, or up in the mountains in foresty area. I just usually get a really heavy body load and need to lay down, who knows may be different when I'm alone in nature. I've only ever tripped in nature with friends. I often get that pure confusion too mike, where it just seems everything loses meaning sometimes I end up staring in the mirror feeling like a complete loon lol

May I ask you what your position is on religion is? Do you believe in a deity? If given three choices, which would you identify with most, atheist, agnostic, or religious?

I am spiritual if anything. but to answer Your question I would fall into agnostic over atheist or religious; even though I am not agnostic. Jesus and Buddha are My home boys. I worship Mother Gaia. The Goddess of All. I pray to the unknown and have the strongest relationship with the universal energy that binds Us all together.

I didn't give you the option of spiritual because I knew that's what you would fall back on. So, you do believe in a deity? You cannot claim agnostic.

Ashamed to admit you believe in a deity? I am just wondering, is all. When you find yourself and what you believe in, let me know, could be a fun debate.
