I'm not quite certain how to articulate my experiences on psychedelics effectively, a common theme I guess for many people being so subjective. So, please bear with me, I'll try my best to be clear. I've been diagnosed with ADHD / Complex PTSD, depression, anxiety etc. I had difficult experiences as a child with adoption, pre and post verbal trauma etc. In the last 4 years, I've been sporadically practising "mirror work" (plus "shadow work") which I believe can be useful therapeutic tools to overcome past traumas. I was initially shit scared to look at myself in a mirror whilst tripping but I believe "psychedelic mirror work" can be a powerful tool to overcome past difficulties. My question is about epigenetics and multi generational trauma and what I am witnessing through my own eyes and consciousness when experiencing LSD.
So with my LSD experiences over the years, when I look into a mirror, my face transforms into around 8+ different faces, like flicking through a photo album. What I mean by this is that, every few seconds my face transforms transparently with pattern overlays, some look disfigured, "evil", deformed and battle scared, one of the faces is completely scrambled like static on a TV screen whilst others look "normal and friendly". I've been trying to make some sort of sense about what I am experiencing, are they faces of my ancestors corresponding with epigenetics and multi generational trauma or are they just manifestations of my ego. With psilocybin or ayahuasca, my face is completely covered in what appears to be a black substance like sticky oily tar swirling around my face, looking incredibly tormented and angry.
So, I'm seeking other opinions from people here about my experiences and what others have experienced whilst looking into a mirror on psychedelics? Thanks for reading.
