Enigma on My Mind
2/8/24
Have you ever taken an intentional trip? More often than not, if you are reading this blog you might have. What was your experience like? Were you able to capture your experience in any way? I took a trip recently and it was very different from any other I had taken before.
I prepared by thinking about four of the most important pillars regarding psychedelics. They are dosage, intention set and setting. We often talk about these in our interactions with clients with various experience levels with taking sacrament. No matter how experienced an individual maybe, I think these assist in making sure the trip is a successful one. My dosage and strain was set: 3.2g of Enigma. My intention was clear. I journaled my thoughts and feelings surrounding my intention while chewing my sacrament with cheerios and gulping purified water. My physical setting was familiar and I made sure to finish whatever domestic duties before I started my session. My mindset was clear and stress free. I planned this session on an off day from my daily corporate hustle and bustle. The normal routine was put on hold just for me.
After about twenty minutes I felt the first internal tickles of the Enigma beginning to render my physical and mental being helpless to its will. I thought about how quickly it seemed to take effect, but then remembered that I had not eaten much that morning. I immediately wanted to be warm and cuddled. I found myself in the most comfortable spot in my home surrounded by a thick comforter as the walls began to breathe and pulsate in front of my eyes. Senses heightened and awareness peaked, I took off on a joyous trip that lasted about six hours.
It was a glorious time spent feeling my ego be grated like a block of mozzarella cheese through a microplane. My intention was surrounding a literal ego death. There had been a couple of instances in the recent past where I found myself asking myself “Who the fuck do you think you are?” While I did approach the intention with grace, there was no denying the breakdown that occurred. My mind just did what it wanted with no regard for the small voice that usually questions EVERYTHING. The anxiety and slight trepidation I feel sometimes when I fight against my Leo moon went out of the window.
Each trip is different and this one was the most intense. The afterglow was felt for at least 24 hours. I sometimes wish I could get stuck in that portion of the experience. The self confidence, self-control and internal magic is at its peak. I try very hard to now get caught up in chasing a trip, however, I was glad I had some extra time off work to bask in the glow with little effort or need to do anything else for the rest of the day. I did plan the next setting for my next session. I am excited to give my mind free reign to build in a new way.
I will see you all back here in my next post on The Mooon!
