Hello All,

I have gone about this a bit backwards and missed the 'Intro Essay' section but have been posting in the newbie sections for a few weeks. I am very appreciative of both this site and all who have contributed their knowledge here -- Thank you all!

So here is my 'Intro':

I am 38/yo male and had no prior experience with psychedelics or really anything other than slight alcohol use. My interest in DMT/aya comes from my desire to better understand myself and the nature of reality. What little I have learned so far is mimosa tea has a way of showing you in great detail parts of yourself in need of reflection.

I have been reading and listening to other experiences with dmt/aya for a couple years now. I planned on trying mimosa tea for myself over a year ago and even had the mhrb to do it. Life and other focus got in the way for over a year before my first mimosa tea experience.

Thanks to all the knowledge here, my first mimosa tea journey was a success -- be it a painful and fearful success. I wrote about my first experience, 'Journey of Fear', a few weeks back:

I was extremely thankful for all the responses and helpful insights to that post. It has greatly helped with integration of the experience. It has also lead to my continued journey with mimosa/rue tea. My second experience is partially documented here:

I am in the process of integration of my third experience which was extremely long 8-10 hour mimosa tea w/ heavy rue dose. In response to a post about 'perpetual loop' feeling of their trip, I have a few highlights of my third experience:

I hope to write a full trip report for the third and longest/deepest experience in the near future.

Again, thanks to everyone here!
