I've been at rock bottom since April. I lost two friends who I knew from online because they refused to listen to me and understand how much they were helping me and then I couldn't enjoy them anymore and felt miserable. I made a post on reddit and had over 200 post saying these people were never my friends and I cut the cord completely, I'm done being judged over something they know nothing about. I bought a punching bag for working out and have lost 25lbs in 3 months. I also met with a psychedelic assisted therapist and having my first session September 1st. The healing process has already started.

Keep going man. You got this. Get any naysayers out of your life and surround yourself with those who are on a similar path and mindset 🔥✨

Wow thanks for this, I have some psylocibe colombiana stored somewhere but never tried mushrooms at all in my life. I’ll take all of your solid advice when i do decide to take the shrooms. For now, i find that weed / edibles gives me a lot of insights / bring up things i need to face as well, i take down notes and try to integrate them into my life where possible. I look forward to where mushrooms will take me, thanks for the top content 🙏

[@emperorjames]

🙏 Thank you and good luck on your future trips! Let me know how it goes! ♥

What a beautiful video! I can see how it can apply to life itself or any 'trip' you're on in your day-to-day reality too. ❤️

[@emperorjames]

Yess! I love to think that way too. Every day is a trip, and how can we navigate it with grace using these touchstones!

James what if life sucks how I start? maybe start with microdosing to go in a better shape and than have full dose experiences? Is microdosing help with anxiety?

[@emperorjames]

Start with a small dose (1gram dried) and see how you feel.

How can one find a trip coach

[@Vladimyrful]

Hi James, I have a question as a VERY new user of mushrooms (I had 1 bad trip and one good one (in which I learned that you have to let go, that's how you pay for the ticked for the ride)) and I have a question: How do you strike a balance between setting an intention and letting the mushrooms show you what they want to show you? Obviously trying to exercise any sort of control is futile, but how do I sent an intention then? Thanks!

[@emperorjames]

That's a great question. I would say the intention part happens before the mushroom trip. Getting clear on your intention before you even begin the trip, and also reminding yourself of it at the very beginning of the journey. Once the trip begins, I let go of the 'reins' and trust that the trip will take me through my intention or somewhere even better. There's been times where my intention or question I had was resolved in the first hour of the trip, and then the mushrooms took me to where they *really* wanted to take me! Almost like "and here's where the *real * work begins!".

[@Vladimyrful]

@@emperorjames Thank you so much James, that's actually extremely helpful. Much like yourself I embarked on this journey in hopes of correcting my mental health issues - the most bizarre thing was that after my first trip I had one of the most important realizations: I HAVE to learn to let it happen and relinquish control BOTH when on psychedelics AND in life. When it comes to intentions, I don't know how "ambitious" I can be. It's been a week since my last trip and I'm planning on taking another dose in a week so I'm preparing in advance.
