I had two very healing experiences in the 90s with mushrooms I gathered in a field growing in cow manure. The first experience, with a medium amount made into tea, gave me real insight into how my life is controlled by excessive fear. The second experience a week later, with a larger amount, alone in a beautiful wooded area, caused me to see into another realm, and as it got dark, beautiful neon colored spirit serpent beings came to me. I could see them in my mind’s eye after sundown. I was expecting repressed memories to come, as I have PTSD since childhood. But instead healing and cleansing of the doors of perception came in an amazingly beautiful way. I use the meditative state of just being there and letting yourself be guided from within from that state… it can really help to reduce fear and be there without being in the way of what needs to happen. I had had several years of healing crying spells coming from meditation before these mushroom experiences. I had wondered if I should do more trips in the years that followed and felt no. A hippie-era gent then told me once, “You get all you need from psychedelics from that first good strong trip you take.” I agree. Once or twice and then move on. As the scientist who discovered LSD said, in the ancient world you only made that trip once. Had the hippies of the 60s known this, this world would be very different today. That’s my testimony.
