🍄Trip Chronicles: 888, cacao, getting unstuck and mirror work on crack
Cacao and psilocybin is one hell of a beautiful ride
You know what’s so cool about plant medicine, over time you start to have a relationship where you know when it’s time to connect again. It’s like a calling for the knowledge, depth, and understanding that you can only sorta get from the medicine or trip.
I know you think shrooms and think aliens, trolls, and who knows what else but it’s not like that.
Of course, you can experience that if you take a hero dose (over 5G) which is completely NOT necessary to experience the beauty of shrooms. This past Wednesday night before the 888 lions gate portal hype (LOL), I decided to take 1.5 grams of penis envy which is one of the more potent strains but my fav. This amount is enough to experience hallucinations and advanced creativity and this time I decided to take it with cacao which was new for me.
Cacao and psilocybin together are a match made in heaven, the Aztec’s know what I am referring to.
The Aztecs called the sacred mushrooms teonanacátl (flesh of the gods). Cacao’s official name is theobroma cacao (food of the gods). A powerful combination that increases the effect where the mushroom opens the mind and cacao opens the heart.
When it comes to plant medicine and my personal ceremonies I just listen to my intuition and run with it. I truly believe I wouldn’t be called to do something if it wasn’t what I should. So the dosage I take and in this case to mix it with cacao is all decided moments before I trip.
My trip setups always include a journal, candle, water, fruits, sage, and a yoga mat. I love to be on the floor when doing psychedelics because it feels right. I think I intuitively feel more grounded when I do idk wtf, I just show up lol
After chugging my cacao and shrooms, I grabbed my journal and set my intention for the trip. What do I want to know? I jot down any questions, conflicts I want a solution for, and any information I have in mind. This time I wanted clarity around my business, and to get unstuck, I wanted to know what was next for me.
I saged my house and myself and started doing some breathwork for safety and moments in tears began to fall. I have never cried on a trip but this time I must have needed the energetic reset. I trust everything that comes up when tripping. I cried and gave a voice to whatever was coming up. I released the confusion and stagnant energy that was keeping me stuck.
Afterward, I went to the mirror and started to stare and talk to myself. Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror when on shrooms? Please do, it is so so beautiful, although I do not recommend it if you are on a hero dose lol Not sure what you will see there.
I saw myself and wow. I remembered how much love I have for myself, how proud I am, and remembered who the fuck I am. Mirror talk is a powerful practice in itself but doing it on shrooms is just on another level. Spent time talking to myself and processing thoughts, ideas and whatever came up.
I grabbed my crystals and placed them on my chakras and it’s such a cool experience because on this medicine you can feel so deeply the energy of the crystals. I took citrine and placed it on my solar plexus and felt the energy transfer from the crystal to my body. It’s like the crystal fit perfectly into that energy socket. I KNOW TRIPPY lol
I felt so much joy in my body and had the biggest smile on my face. I said to myself at one point “this is joy” and took selfies so that the next day I could see them and be reminded of that moment.
I always keep my journal handy and jot down any ideas, answers to my questions, and whatever comes up. I reconnected to my purpose as a soul-led entrepreneur on this trip. I was reminded of how much I deeply value the body, its miracles, and its importance to living a life full of joy. I remembered my deep desire to help people feel connected to their body and reclaim their power and sovereignty. How much what plants offer as food and medicine is essential to us keeping that sovereignty. Keeping our bodies strong and flexible is vital to keeping the mind strong and flexible. Most importantly how it’s my mission to share, guide, and support others in that journey. I was on a roll with all this clarity.
The days after have been so scrumptious, so many ideas flowing to me and so much joy in my body. I feel so empowered, connected, and full. I remember I have everything I need right at this very moment, we all do.
Have you ever tripped and was your experience anything like this? Please share in the comments!
Love you
