Introduction
You're probably already familiar with magic mushrooms, but if you aren't, they are a fungus that contains psilocybin–a naturally occurring psychedelic compound. You can find them growing wild; humans have used them since ancient times for spiritual or religious purposes.
Many different types of psychedelic mushrooms exist worldwide; however, we will focus on just one species: Psilocybe cubensis (or "gold caps"). This particular strain has been popularized by its ability to produce solid visual hallucinations at low dosages when ingested orally.
Preparation
- Gathering the right supplies
- Setting up the right environment
- Finding the right dosage
The Trip
The physical effects of magic mushrooms are varied and depend on the dose, but they usually include:
- Increased heart rate
- Sweating or chills
- Flushed skin (redness)
- The mental effects of magic mushrooms can vary from person to person. Some people may experience the following:
- Hallucinations (seeing things that aren't there)
- Delusions (believing things that aren't true)
The emotional effects of magic mushrooms can also vary significantly between users.
Managing Anxiety with Magic Mushrooms
You can do a few things to manage anxiety and ensure it doesn't get in the way of your trip.
- Set expectations: It's important to know what kind of experience you're going into so that when things go well or don't go quite as planned, you'll be prepared for it.
- Understand the effects: If you know what kind of high you're looking for–whether it's an intense spiritual journey or just some giggles with friends–you can prepare yourself for how long it might last and whether or not there will be any side effects (like feeling anxious).
- Breathing exercises: Many people find that focusing on their breathing helps them stay calm during a bad trip; if this sounds like something that would work for you, try focusing on each breath as it goes in and out through your nose until things start feeling better again!
Managing the Peak with Magic Mushrooms
The peak of your trip is the most intense part, so you must ensure you're prepared for what's coming. Here are some tips:
- You are accepting the experience. The first step is admitting that this is happening and not fighting against it. You can't control how you feel or what happens during an intense psychedelic experience–you can only manage your reaction to those feelings and events by being prepared and maintaining a positive attitude throughout your journey.
- Maintaining a positive attitude throughout the trip will help keep fear at bay; if we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by fear or anxiety, our journey will likely become unpleasant quickly!
Managing the Come Down with Magic Mushrooms
The come down is the period after you've taken mushrooms when you're returning to normal. It can be disorienting and unpleasant, but it's essential to understand that this is normal and nothing to worry about.
The most important thing to do during your trip is to stay calm and relaxed; if you feel too high or anxious, take deep breaths and try focusing on something else (like listening to music).
As with any experience involving altered states of consciousness, it's best not to drive or operate heavy machinery during this period–or at least avoid doing so until you're fully reintegrated into reality again!
Integration
Once you've had your trip, the next step is to integrate what you learned into your life. This can be done in several ways: journaling about the experience, reflecting on it and talking about it with others (if applicable), or even just thinking about how it could change your life moving forward.
Tips, Tricks, and Biohacks
The following are some tips, tricks, and hacks that can help you get the most out of your magic mushrooms trip:
- Get the right supplies.
- Set the right environment.
- Find the correct dosage.
- Set expectations
- Understand the effects
- Breathing exercises
- Accept the experience
- Maintain a positive attitude
Conclusion
The journey is over, and you've returned home. The mushrooms have dissolved into your system, but the effects remain. You may feel tired or relaxed or even slightly disoriented. It's essential to take some time to reflect on what you learned from this experience before jumping back into your daily routine.
The most important thing to remember when reflecting on your trip is that there is no right way to do it; everyone reacts differently under magic mushrooms (or any other psychedelic drug). Some people will have more intense experiences than others, while others may find themselves in a state where they cannot do anything but lie down and relax for hours at a time! Regardless of how much fun you had during your trip or how much insight it gave you into yourself and life in general–or if nothing happened at all–it's always good practice after coming down from an intense psychedelic experience like this one by reflecting on what happened during those few hours when everything felt different than usual…
