Meditation & Yoga while on Psychedelics

Lately i have been viewing psychedelics not as social tools anymore. I used to like eating psychedelics at shows and with a few people, but now i just feel completely akward while tripping around other people.

So now i really enjoy eating psychedelics and meditating with ambient music on and doing yoga as my focus point. I can not enjoy a psychedelic experience without being able to sit and meditate and and do yoga.

I havent found anyone besides my self who enjoys doing such acts while on psychedelics. Everyone i know who likes to trip uses it as a party drug which i see it the complete opposite. I get very quiet and start noticing my every move.

Does anyone else like to do yoga or meditate while on psychedelics or am i just a different breed of psychonaut?

Also what do you like to do for your yoga?
 
when I am tripping with my significant other, we usually end up doing a combination of just acting silly with each other, some staring at walls deep in thought, and a LOT of active sex (if you consider that some kind of yoga ;))

when tripping alone usually i get lost in the beauty of the visuals and thoughts, but it can turn into introspection/meditation in the right setting

when tripping with some best buds, we usually end up listening to music or going for adventures.

every trip is different! but I think i know what you mean about the yoga, because while tripping I can really focus on how my posture is TERRIBLE most of the time, and the psychedelic won't let me relax unless I go deep inside myself and work on the physical issues that I ignore on a daily basis.
 
Psychedelics + Dark room + Meditation + Ambient = Extraordinary

It becomes only about you, your mind, and the drug. No distractions, nothing. Many an insight has been gained from sitting in deep contemplation on a head full of LSA+DXM in a dark forest. There are important worlds within to explore; what can be gained from watching pretty colors swirl by or walls melt?
 
Exactly. When i find my self so spaced that im watching my walls dance around i feel my brain being wasted. Some people just dont understand what the psychedelic experience has to hold. Its not a party favor like some people thing.

P.s thanks for the music :{ d. }:. On my next trip into the unknown ill throw it on and see where it decides to take me.
 
I have to say that the most calming and beautiful experience of my life was when I did Yoga whilst on LSD. The most intense part being when you imagine you have the moon in your hands. OMG. I started believing that I was holding the moon and holy shit what an experience that was. All the moves in common yoga are quite relaxing and only intensify the visuals. I could see the ball of energy I was holding when I thought I was holding the moon and wow was that beautiful.
 
i really cannot trip with others anymore (except on very small doses) and much prefer to trip alone. nearly every trip causes me to go into "spontious yoga posture" or some kinda crazy dancing thing that is more like flailing around and releasing all kindsa pent up energy.

Thats how i am now a days. I will meditate for a good amount of time until i get that uncomfortable come up feeling away and when the euphoria kicks in i find my self dancing around my house in a way if i was not at festival, people would think i was insane. Glad to know im not the only one=D
 
I have yet to do yoga on psychs yet - I felt that intrinsically 2C-E and 4-AcO-DMT had qualities about them that made them perfect for yoga. I haven't come to this conclusion on ANY other psychedelic.

Not saying that others aren't great - but during trip on both of these I thought "wow, this would be AMAZING for yoga" - 2C-E at a rather low dose (say around 6-8mg, MAYBE 10mg) and Psilacetin @ around 14mg (maybe going as high as 20mg, though not tried this dosage so far) which was my first dose.
 
i actually tried a ~threshold (approx 4-5mg) dose of 2c-c recently before attending a meditation seminar. Definitely seemed to facilitate things a bit. I think things like 2c-e & 4-AcO-DMT would be a bit too intense or pushy for meditation. Perhaps good for yoga though, but YMMV i'm sure. 2c-c is pretty subtle and malleable even at active doses, so I'd think it would be a good aid to meditation & yoga.

I still prefer 2c-e & 4-AcO-DMT for the classic psychedelic psychotherapy model, which is certainly akin to if not a type of meditation.
 
You are not alone! I love doing yoga while on 4acoDMT... in fact, it pretty much forces me into it. I had some of the greatest CEVs while in child's pose. So peaceful.

Yeah, child's pose on a soft yoga mat with eyes closed and soft minimalistic music playing... Try it!

Ive gone on so many "remember it for the rest of your life adventures". Dont get me wrong i love tripping complete sack in the wilderness and going bonkers, but sence ive moved away from my home town i have been by my self and doing meditation while tripping is very relaxing.

My personal dream is to meditate with a female holding hands for a good ammount of time, have sex, then take a fat rip of DMT right after climax.I CAN IMAGINE UNIVERSAL BLISS8o

Dude same here, it shits me off sometimes. I have mild chronic back issues but sometimes when I trip it just magnifies for a short time so that I can focus on nothing else. I guess my subconscious wants me to actually do something about it 8)

I do like meditating while tripping but not for the whole trip :)

Keep chasing that perfect high kid.

Myself, I'm learning to enjoy sitting still (both in body and mind). I now meditate at some point (usually at the beginning) of most of my trips. Then again, I meditate daily sober as well.

I prefer to save meditation for when I'm taking a shit ;)

I prefer to get out into nature rather than sitting on my arse in a room going "OM....OM...".

Funny you mention, because my first meditation experience on a psychedelic was on the toilet while coming up on some 2c-i. Boundary blurring is fun.

And, yes, being immersed in nature is still my favorite psychedelic activity. Luckily one can have it all.

Hope you enjoy! :) Definitely send a message my way and let me know how it went for you.
 
Many times I have taken a psychedelic and decided "THIS time I'm going to get down to some deep meditation". But I find myself to be too distracted to by all of the energy and mental traffic to really get into it.

However, on DXM I find it incredibley easy to meditate, and I do so almost every time I take it.
