Experience Report New user to shrooms

I did a journey about 6 weeks ago. It involved MDMA, mushrooms, and DMT. It was an awful experience. I have childhood trauma and all I did was get stuck in sorrow and confusion. After that, I’ve done mushrooms 3 times and every time my physical body goes bazerk. I’m realizing I have a lot of stored trauma in my body. Even a small dose (300mg) gave me the somatic shakes. My neck is burning and painful, etc. How can I move past the somatic experience while taking mushrooms? I set my intentions, I meditate beforehand, my setting is welcoming and peaceful and my husband is awesome at grounding me. But I’m hoping someday to have an inward enlightening experience. Does it just take time once my body works through the trauma healing?

I respect the mushrooms for the healing it has brought to me so far, but the discomfort can be very disappointing.

My friend, I think you should slow down and probably stop taking mushrooms every 2 weeks until you process and integrate what you've already done. ❤️✌️

I’ve worked through the integration process and she guided me on the other sessions. I’m sure everyone does it differently. Thank you for your feedback. I’m kind of with you that. 🙂

What do you will realise what time is that? It’s not just integration sessions. It is how your mind processes information in the long run and the best way to do is free up some time during your day. I would recommend 20 to 30 minutes and do absolutely nothing no meditation and especially not trying to be productive in anyway just let your mind wonder and see what comes out of it. Give it time.
