Physical therapy and psychedelics

[Spiffypip]

So while I am in no way a doctor I am a physical therapist and have been studying various form of massage for a few years now.

I have a theory about the body and the mind that goes about something like this: the points of muscle tension in the body are shaped by our ego or sense of self, and the more we can separate our ego from our physical bodies the easier it is to heal all sorts of stress or injures.

Some (but by no means all) of the most useful and profound massages I have received were while I was under the influence of traditional hallucinogens like LSD and in one particularly memorable instance 2c-p. while this has always been the case for me personally I am very curious if anyone else has similar experiences with this.

Does anyone else do this? Even if it is only getting high and massaging oneself (I do this regularly)or actively getting high before a scheduled massage.

Yep. I often get a strong urge to massage myself while tripping, especially on mescaline-containing cacti, for some reason. I feel like the inner healer in me is awakened or something.

I end up massaging my abdomen and my face, mostly. It feels very healing and it usually improves my breathing and posture.

It's a pity MXE got scheduled. For such a short acting drug it is really good at getting that feeling that your body knows where it feels most comfortable, something i usualy asociate with much stronger halucinagens. I would be so interested in trying to quantify these effects if it were not for the obvious legal concerns and my own mental stability.

I have received (and thoroughly enjoyed) prosfessional massages on aMT, 5MeODiPT, 5MeOMiPT.
Hatha Yoga kind of feels like massaging to me, when I'm alone. Do your asanas high !
