So I have experimented with low doses of DMT and playing the guitar and have had great results.

For the past 2 months, give or take, I have been working on my own sort of low dose cleanse. I mean this very literally. Once a week, sometimes twice a week (it all depends on timing, resources, feelings etc. etc.) I will load approximately 5-15mg (15mg being the absolute max) DMT, strip down and walk into the bathroom.

I turn on the water in my shower and get it to a comfortable temperature. While staring into the mirror, I think about everything that has happened in the past week. The problems, observations, stresses, epiphanies, emotions and anything else in between and I try to let go of all the negative energy that may have built up. I take a few deep breaths and think about my intentions with the DMT.

Then I smoalk the amount mentioned above and as the 'low dose' (note: 15mg may not be considered a low dose for everyone so use caution. Better yet, do not attempt this without considering the safety implications!) kicks in I hop into the warm shower. The feeling is incredible. Obviously, a shower is very cleansing all by itself but when used together with DMT a low dose becomes quite powerful. As if the shower droplets were falling straight out of heaven and onto my head. Opening "me" up to myself is something I have trouble doing in everyday life and this method had been working wonders for me.

It has allowed me to focus in on and correct issues in my life that I wasn't even aware of. Sometimes it brings up problems that I was hiding from myself and during the course of the shower/trip I am forced to contemplate and form rational solutions. All through a DMT shower.

The water seems to symbolize all my troubles. As it hits me, beads and drains off it almost as if it washes away silly issues along with any physical dirt. Ever since I started doing this I have felt much happier in my outlook on life. It truly is a medicine. I am not the type of person who is depressed or sad at this point in my life but I had no idea how much pointless clutter I had floating around in my brain.

For instance, my job recently tried to transfer me to another branch in order to try and save it from failing as a business (I'd rather not say exactly where I work to keep things as anonymous as possible Paranoid? Probably, but no matter...). I however am just now getting comfortable in my role at my current branch. Not to mention they sprung it on me with less than 24 hours to decide.

So I did a cleanse that night and pondered the life altering changes that would happen if I went along with what my bosses were pushing on me. I eventually decided that it is best for me to stay where I was. I love the place I am at right now with my job and it may sound selfish but I have to do what is right for me. I realized that there is no way that I was the only solution to their problem. A job is just a job? Maybe, but I love the people and the atmosphere of where I am now and I want to enjoy it. Needless to say, they had to go with a different solution.

Anyway, I have found low dosing once or twice a week while showering to be very beneficial. Very cleansing and relaxing. It has become a kind of ritual for me. It hits that "reset" button on my mind and allows me to think clear as crystal. It is very refreshing.

So that is pretty much it. Thoughts?

oh, and if you do try this, please be careful. Showers are slippery! Wouldn't want anyone to hop in their shower all distorted and slip and smash their head, you know?

PEACE

What a novel ritual Grateful One...

Makes me smile & consider all the possibilities...

I've had some intensely powerful shower experiences on LSD, but you're the first person I've heard of doing this with (more or less) micro-doses of DMT.

Now that you've got me pondering, I guess my cleansing ritual is when my wife & I go canoeing on the river & I take a micro-dose of a Psilocybin/LSD tincture. The combination of the low-dose psychedelic combined with the beautiful nature of the mighty Sacramento & of course the water itself are incredibly healing for my soul.

This past Sunday, after we got done with another wonderful canoe trip, I micro-dosed some DMT & the mix with the other low-dose psychedelics made for the most pleasurable evening.

I remember one too deep molecule dive for my abilities, oral so there was no fast escape, frankly I was in trouble. Intuitively I started putting hands under the luke warm tap water flow for a while, which followed by showering in order to let the water having its way in modulating the experience, like consulting a wise friend in the situation. I reached for the wisdom (or healing effect) of water for conduct of what was happening. I think it truly helped.

Thank you for the responses! It has been interesting experimenting with lower doses. To me, it isn't necessarily all about the breakthroughs. They are intense and full of insight but micro dosing seems to be more therapeutic for me. That is why I started this little "ritual."

I would love to go canoeing, Doc. It sounds like the scenery would be breath taking with or without the micro dose. I dont get out into nature enough anymore and I really miss it. Always stuck in the hustle and bustle of city life, ya know?

I've got some San Pedro sitting around that I plan to extract some time. My plan is to dose with my lady at the nature center here in town. It is mostly trails and wild life and is usually pretty deserted.

Jees, I can definitely relate to that. I've dosed pretty heavy on occasion. I truly believe there is some sort of magical calming quality that water has. If a trip starts turning south, a shower is one of my go to methods to help calm me down. It works quite well for me!
