Using Meditation to Maximize Salvia- I have come to realize a way to maximize the journey in many ways, spiritually, intensity, etc. What i do is meditate breifly before i travel with salvia. Then the goal while on the trip is to lose yourself as close to 100% as possible. Give in to the world. Do not let any senses enter your body (although doing this with your eyes slightly open but without actually looking at anything can amplify the effects work as well). Dont listen to anything, dont smell anything, dont feel anything (if you cant help not feeling anything, dont actively think about what your feeling, just feel.), dont taste anything, a nd most importantly dont think about anything. In short your using meditation to amplify the salvia, and using salvia to amplify the meditation. Often i find my self being to amazed at the expirience that i want to explain it to myself during the trip. But you have to remember this will "bring you down" by thinking. You can explain it yo yourself afterwords. Be in the moment and LOSE YOURSELF as much as possible. I prefer to do this outside, although i live very in a very rural place so is fairly quite (besides wind, birds, etc). I have "broken through" and had life changing expiriences doing this with only 6X. Sometimes weaker extracts (5X,6X,10X(10X is my prefered)) are almost more preferable because the trip isnt so intense its uncontrollable. But obviously is up to the trip taker. Thats about it, just my own personal guide to truly reaching the potential of Salvia Divinorum. Also- i have found that practicing meditation often while sober can amplify the effects of salvia because you "learn" how to meditate almost. I have had out of body expiriences through meditation only comparable to a shroom trip, but while totally sober. Meditation is truly and amazing and profound art. If you use it in conjunction with Salvia you can truly achieve amazing results. Just go into the expirence thinking of it as just that, an expirience, not a way to get "fucked up". I highly reccommend doing this ALONE, because having other people present can influence your thoughts and you will not be able to lose your self as completely. -PeaceLoveSalvia
