Hi guys I've had quite a few good trips now and I've been able to up my dose to a point of 40mg but I haven't been able to break

through yet and I'm finding I don't have anymore nervous preflight anxiety , only except now after taking three big hits and holding

them for aslong as possible isn't a problem until after the 2nd or 3rd hit depending on my technic at vaporizing at the time but after

I flop back on my bed I'm having trouble enjoying my trip as I find that I'm hyperventilating so to speak and my breathing to me

sounds like I'm under water breathing through a snorkel and it's all I can hear and I'm finding it very distracting and disappointing

as I just can't find a way of trying to deal with it ! Has anyone else found themselves doing this and is there a way of dealing with

it! Any help would be much appreciated !

It is indeed just like a snorkel in that this distraction is tethered to that which needs to be automated and left behind.
You have to spend time before hand getting your breath slowed down and deep. Clear your sinuses and practice breathing through your nose, or through your nose and out of your mouth. Whatever is most comfortable, quiet, and feels right.
I've learned to breathe without a sound this way and it helps when submerged in infinite.

Sometimes weird things happen though. Like the pain I used to get in my left lung after going in. Sometimes it felt like I couldn't breathe in because something sharp was piercing me on the inside. I would then completely stop breathing and asphyxiate (or so I thought, I'm sure it was just a hallucination) and one trip I even experienced the whole lung cancer death bed scenario which I said my farewells and died back into my meat suit. Scared me off the tobacco for a couple years and it never happened again.

Be calm and dissolve having faith that no matter what happens it's going to be ok. Be attentive to the subtle indications. Practice your breathing with meditation until it becomes a part of you. Yoga and pranayama techniques can be incredibly useful in conjunction with the basic metabolization.

You may also want to try using your voice to either sing or resonate tones. There is so much to be learned from ourselves though that music can sometimes be distracting. Play Keith Fullerton Whitman or Oren Ambarchi on the sound system or headphones if you have them. Experiment!

Thank you very much for you're reply t , as it gave me a lot to think about esp the medatation as I've never tried it but it must work

As you are not the only one that has refered me to it ,

If you're finding your labored breathing to be distracting, you may want to consider not doing it laying down on your back. Try doing it sitting up, comfortably reclined on a comfy chair/couch/recliner/futon....

Mmhm

Thanks for the tips guys , but the tip that helped the most was just simply sitting up , but will continue to experiment ! 😜

something to mention

if you do it long and or hard enough (doesnt take more than two minutes at the most if you do it right) its very easy to induce you body to start what i can only discribe as vibrating.

i know it sounds odd but try it, the sensation last for a good minute after you stop but during aya hyper ventilating like that would feel like your body is literally being shook apart.

very interesting sensation.
