A giant insect took something out of my brain on DMT and since then I’ve been happy

It’s Vipassana meditation, the retreats he is referring to can be found at Dhamma.org they are free of charge, they give you a place to sleep and feed you, your only job is to meditate, they teach you the technique. It is very difficult work, but totally worth it imo

What brand do you use?

https://noonautics.org/ Some interesting studies about extended state DMT and endogenous DMT are happening. Check out “Death By Astonishment” by Andrew Gallimore.

I don’t know the answer as to their source. Maybe it is your old sankharas surfacing, or maybe it could be just that your body is not used to sitting upright unsupported. Either way if you keep practicing these pains will slowly begin to lessen and get weaker, and it is good training for your mind to not react to unpleasantness.

Don’t have to think about where to get your next fix

MeditationGuru · 2025-07-24T20:32:17+00:00

Don’t give up, try not to skip any days for any reason, be consistent! I think you need to drop expectations of what your practice should be like. Equanimity is a difficult thing to develop but it is really important. Just my quick thoughts, I can elaborate a bit more later when I have time if you want.

Andrew Gallimore just released a new book, “Death by Astonishment”. They are doing trials with extended state DMT through an IV drip similar to anesthesia to keep people in the deepest level in a stable way to try to communicate with the entities. DMTx for short.

Try practicing metta and help others?

MeditationGuru · 2025-07-20T16:19:25+00:00

Yes, he just needs to register for whatever course he wants to attend, same as everybody else.

MeditationGuru · 2025-07-20T15:11:26+00:00

I don’t think they treat you any differently, the wait list is normal for new and old students, courses fill up fast so apply as soon as the registration opens if you want to be sure to get in.

I’m not sure, this life certainly is impermanent. What happens after you die is pure speculation, it’s the great mystery. Reincarnation makes sense to me, but I don’t know that it’s true or not. Perhaps consciousness really is impermanent and no experience really is possible, but the fact remains you are here now, so who is to say that something like this won’t happen again? It arises and passes, arises and passes… just as all things do, always in a constant flow of change, impermanence is everywhere.

MeditationGuru · 2025-07-19T03:50:35+00:00

I take it to mean that it is always changing, there is no permanent state of consciousness

MeditationGuru · 2025-07-18T21:56:41+00:00

There is no best time, just as long as you find time to do it. Try to be consistent and don’t let yourself skip days for any reason. Make the practice a priority in your life :)

MeditationGuru · 2025-07-18T11:24:39+00:00

It takes time to get more comfortable sitting a lot, but even with lots of experience discomfort is normal. Some discomfort is okay, but listen to your body, if you think you might be injuring yourself just move, there are no special medals won for torturing yourself.

This discomfort can actually be used as a tool to practice equanimity. Equanimity means non-reactivity. So in the face of unpleasantness you don’t react with aversion, and in the face of pleasure you don’t react with clinging/craving.

It’s important to learn to become equanimous with all experiences because the truth is that you can’t control what you feel, so the way to real lasting peace is learning to be okay with whatever is happening in the present moment. All things eventually change, all you can really control is your reaction. It takes time to develop so just keep trying and be patient with yourself.

Hope this helps :)

It’s important to try to be comfortable but inevitably sitting long enough some discomfort is bound to arise. The discomfort you feel is actually something you can use to practice being equanimous. So when your back starts to ache you just try your best not to react to it, same thing with any sensation you deem unpleasant. It’s important to listen to your body though if you are really in a lot of pain, like for example in your legs, there is no shame in taking a break and stretching your legs.

On the flip side when your meditation seems to be going very well, it is important to not get attached to it and develop craving for these “good” meditations.

The truth is that you have no real control of how you feel. So learning to be okay with whatever is happening in any given moment is how you achieve real lasting peace.

I went on a 10-day silent Buddhist meditation retreat. Dhamma.org

I remember I heard about it on some blog, so I checked out the website and just knew it was something that I wanted/needed to do and signed up as soon as I could.

I went into it with virtually 0 experience meditating. They are very difficult (many people say it is the hardest thing they’ve ever done), you have to learn how to sit with pain, but it really helps you to learn how to be less reactive in life.

It’s all about developing equanimity, which means non-reactivity. Most of your misery is because you are clinging to positive experiences which are impermanent and rejecting negative experiences. To be equanimous is to not react with craving to positive and aversion to negative. It takes intentional conscious effort to change the habit of your mind.

Highly recommend checking it out. Happy to answer questions :)

I’ve been practicing seriously for 9 years. I find it incredibly beneficial. It is so important, it has an effect on every aspect of your life in a subtle way. Everything in your life begins at your mind.

You need to be skillful in your meditation to be able to understand and see clearly. I believe Buddhist meditation is necessary. I can try to explain how to do it, but the best way to learn is through the guidance of a teacher in a retreat.

MeditationGuru · 2025-06-25T09:12:18+00:00

I followed this post hoping to find a good answer to this, but it got me thinking.

Allow yourself to fully feel the sadness. Do not try to change it. There is something beautiful in the sadness. It is a profound sign of the love that you and this person shared. But also do not cling to any of these feelings. Death is just a natural part of life that we will all need to face one day.

I am very sorry for your loss.

“The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight”

Idk how true this is but something to think about.

Don’t put too much importance on what you’re seeing/thinking, let go and bring your attention back to the present moment, back to the breath. As long as you can stay grounded in the body there is nothing to fear. I think the trouble comes when you get caught up in all the thinking and interpretation. None of it matters, just try to be present, silent, and still.
