Thread: meditating on shrooms?

But again you are giving yourself the false implication. This is a concept that you would understand more easily on the shrooms, but I'll try to articulate it anyways.

You're trying too hard to utilize it. You're trying too hard to be productive. To use both shrooms and meditation for productivity. On shrooms, this attitude in regard to meditation will be more difficult. You will not be able to concentrate in the way you are hoping to. However you can have an excellent trip if you allow yourself, and an excellent meditation.

So start by allowing yourself. If you wish to focus on your breath, know all you must do is be aware of your breath. If you wish to focus on your chakras, know that all you must do is be aware of them. Focus implies force. When you catch yourself thinking, it feels as though you must force yourself to bring your awareness back to your breath. Give your thoughts space. Give your breath space. Give your body space, and give your feelings space.

That's why I say read a good teacher before the trip, because their teachings will make all sorts of sense on the shrooms and it will be very serviceable to meditation. It is very important to understand what you're doing wrong, otherwise combining shrooms and meditation will leave you chasing your tail in frustration.

I think this is great advice. I recommend taking enough mushrooms to melt everything away. Don't try to do anything, just be open and experience.
