Specs:
I started with 1000mg ginger powder (mixed with warm water...for anti-nausea). Ginger is a lot spicier than I realized! I think next time I'll make it into a more diluted tea than I did this time.
About 15 minutes later I took the Rue. I doubled up from last try to 4g, and ran the coarsely ground seeds through a coffee grinder this time. I mixed it with some warm water and a little lemon juice. It felt like drinking sand...bleh. Not sure if finely ground was any easier to drink than the coarse or not. Placing in capsules sounds good!
Roughly 25 minutes later I drank 40mg freebase in plum juice. Next time I will up this dosage as after waiting an hour for the FB to kick in, I was getting just light visuals. I will probably take it at the same time as the Rue as well to try to speed up the start of the trip.
At this point I took a tiny vaped hit of FB to get things started...and that's when the fun began
I also took a second, slightly larger one roughly 30 minutes later.
I was in too much of a trance to prepare a 2nd oral dose...maybe I'll have that ready next time as well. The experience felt pretty much like a LONG, easy vape session. The experience lasted about 3 hours from the time of the first vaped hit, and I probably could have meditated longer if I had the time. (And how long does one generally stay MAOI'd out of curiosity?)
The nausea was pretty mild and very tolerable...no purges and no negatives from the Rue that I could feel. I tend to have a weak stomach, so I'm very excited that this simple combination works so well and w/o nausea and w/o extracting the harmalas!
Trip:
As far as the trip itself...it was beautiful
I didn't have a breakthrough, but it was VERY healing...I was able to clear out a lot of wound-up energy that I didn't need to hold onto. There was a lot of vocalizing, but it was all primal, cave-man-ish grunts and sounds.
For example, I would pick a person and see if I was holding onto anything from the past that needed to be let go. Then the energy would build up, and I would have a gut-squeeze and a loud, quick grunt. The more I needed to let go of, the more vocalizing that occurred. I ended up going though everyone I could think of and any hang-ups I could remember. It felt GREAT being able to unwind and release all those tensions!
I also tried an alchemical healing on my wife's physical body (she was not present though). She has a lot of stomach issues, etc. I sort of 'became' her body and the energy built up for several minutes through some body gyrations and peaked a few times with some nice long, loud 'squeezes'. (I also asked the Earth to accept these energies and transform them to their highest potential...but I would do that without the medicine as well). We'll have to wait and see how much it helped her.
Thanks to everyone who's helped me this past week, as well as everyone else who's posted about Rue and FB in the past. It was a terrific experience! There was a lot more to it, but I'm not so talented at putting my trips into words, so I'll leave it at this for now.
Namaste
