First off i would like to say THANK YOU for allowing me to be apart of this wonderful source of information called the dmt nexus... well after accomplishing some mycology and believed to have gotten everything i could out of my "golden teachers" i felt i was ready to move on to dmt ( it came to me in a cpl trips which inspired me to do alot of reading on here) i have had pervious experience with lsd, 2ci, and mdma as well so i figured i was prepared to take a deeper look "into the rabbit hole" and try dmt.... so i did my first extraction using normans stb tek and had problems with the xtals melting but after working on my techniques i have gotten yellow waxy xtals and have sampled them in increasing doses...I use a dab/oil rig with MUCH success. my breakthroughs were kinda the same at first in which i would see the "chrysanthemum" and shoot by it then i would be in this what felt like a room and i would see a bright white orb of light fly by me and come in front of me and get my attention then a "door" to the left of me would open in the dark room i was in and an entity/s would come in and close the door and they would manifest something in front of me that had tubes going into it that were pulsating and had alien writing in or on the tubes and something seemed to be being "pumped" into this thing that would morph into different things i know that one other the things it morphed into was a peach or flesh-tone opal baby head. and after it was done being "pumped" full of what ever was going into it they brought it over to me and a vapor trail came off off it and i was told to breathe in so i started to inhale the vapor and the entities were ecstatic saying "he's doing it!" and that startled me and the trip started to close in on itself... when i awoke i was amazed and in tears... it was great... but now im at a point where i cant keep my mind quiet and focus on what is going on and i feel the entities getting a little aggravated with my lack of focus.. so i have been reluctant to go back to hyperspace... so i guess my question is what would help me retain my focus during a session? meditation?
I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this wonderful site and it is an honer to be apart of it finally...

That sounds like a fun breakthrough Yes I think that meditation would be very helpful to get familiar and comfortable with that state (if that's possible ). But also remember, integrate or disintegrate

Welcome to the nexus Learningtofly88

Sounds like a good trip there, meditation can help with keeping your focus and intentions in line for journey. Sometimes it's difficult to just not be totally astounded and overwhelmed by what's going on. Take your time, integrate anything you have gotten out of your experiences so far and when the time is right go back and see if the atmosphere has changed. Sometimes we just need to take a break and reflect.

Safe and happy journeys


Peace

thank you for the advice... im thinking dosage might be a problem also as i was eyeballing doses and they might of been a little high now that i think of it maybe in the 40-45 mg range luckily i have a mg scale on its way so i figure i will wait to dose again after it gets here..

Thankyou and i think i will practice meditation and wait for a proper scale to come... funny thing is very recently i took 5g of psilocybin and i felt like the dmt entites were breaking through to me telling me to do the dmt but i just laughed and said not right now haha... they sure are funny

A solution to your problem might be to do it early in the day. Maybe set up the rig the night before so you can just wake up and get to it first thing. Some years ago, I would go to class and then smoke DMT, and I found that I was hearing the sound of my teachers bouncing around in my head. If this is an issue you are looking to avoid, I would do it early in the morning before the psychic clutter accumulates throughout the day.

to be honest its more of like stuff terrance mckenna said in some of his lectures/interviews its weird haha...i dont know if the use of thc would help quiet my mind or not.. i have heard of it dulling the trip...

As long as you're not super high, it shouldn't have much of an impact.

i use concentrates daily so im just gonna do some experimenting and see what happens

Well everything went fine on my trips back to hyperspace so ive been doing alot of reading on changa and decieded to try that ROA because me being the human being i am i like to experiment so i procreated some mint,syrian rue, caapi leaves and some blue lotus petals. I figured i would start out experimenting on 2 very basic mixes of 1:1 caapi:spice and an enhanced mint leaf at a ratio of 1:1 . I also started soaking 10g of leaf in 91% IPA to eventually achieve a 10x leafe to make a 1:1 of 10xcaapi:spice... i did the warm water bath method for the enhanced leaf and the reg. Caapi leaf with success i do feel i might not of achieved as even distribution of the spice in the caapi blend when i compared the two. the changa was alot more mellow so then again could this be because of the maoi in the 1x caapi? This was my first experiance with changa... o yea my doses were ~55-60 mg for the changa and ~45 with the enhanced leaf... i have some acacia on its way and llan on using that for my first acacia extraction. I think i will use all precipitation that i get from it to make changa since i only have experiance with mhrb spice and extraction.
