Trip Preparation Question

[Mezzanine]

I was wondering, in theory, what could be done to prepare for a trip?

I've read some books by Carlos Castaneda, "Center of the Cyclone" by John Lilly and "DMT: The Spirit Molecule". I meditate daily and over the last year have made, what I believe, a lot of progress with it.

What other books or advice might some of you suggest?

#1: Make sure you are in a stable and positive mind set. Mental illness and psychedelics do not mix without a very experienced guide with training to assist.

#2: Make sure your setting has every luxury item you could want. Choose your company wisely. Make sure there will not be interruptions such as a surprise visit from Mom or phone call from a boss. Cell phones should be turned off.

#3: Once you are confident you've got all the "set and setting" boxes thoroughly checked, then relax and let go. You're all taken care of. Going with the flow of the trip will assure insights. Allow the trip to blossom as it chooses.

#4: Have something to write with. It is easy to forget important revelations if they are not written as they happen.

#5: Have fun!!



p.s. - If a challenging moment arises remind yourself that all states are temporary.
