First experience was not what I had expected. But, then again, I don't think anyone's first experience is anything close to what they expected.

I first felt a tingling sensation.....everywhere then it felt like I got thrown into a vortex and was moving very fast through a tunnel of what seemed to be a gravel road with the trees above bent to a curve like... a tunnel. After what seemed like 20 years the Sun(I can't think of anything else to describe the light...) started to appear and I got that tingling sensation again only more intense and then...I just opened my eyes. I don't know why but I did.

I figured it was because I wasn't ready and my mind knew it and stopped itself. I wasn't to thrilled but I thought to myself, "How could I make a more comfortable environment,(maybe this was the other reason I opened my eyes). I looked around and decided to try with the lights off next time...(duh)... and make a VERY comfortable place to sit...

If anyone has any guidance?
Suggestions to a better environment... or advice on how to get your self calm and relaxed before, and at least let me know if i have the right idea.

Yes, turn them lights OFF!! Im not sure what your surroundings are like, or where you are blasting off, I suppose its in your room/lounge. Make sure that setting is perfect, clean up and maybe burn some nice incence. Find a nice comfy place to sit, on a nice sofa or propped up against pillows/duvet on your bed. Have a sip of water handy too, I always sip some water just before blastoff.

If you are suffering from any anxiety, after you have loaded up the smoking vessel, take a few minutes to breathe deep. Ive found that it help to take a small hit first. Wait 10 mins or so and then blast off.

And remeber, everything is and wil be OK

Hey!
My sugestions would be, no light, no music (dough in light to mild dosages music can be very nice indeed, but for blastoff imo it is just a distraction) and a very clean and confortable place where u can really relax.
Also like Gamma just said

Safe journeys
