7 Fun Things to Do While Tripping!
If you'd like to do something more fun while tripping than just hanging out on the couch, look no further. Although the opinion about psychedelics has become more positive in recent years, most people still enjoy their trip in seclusion in their bedroom or garden. It really can be better. That's why we're giving you the 7 most fun things to do while tripping.
What are the most fun things to do while tripping?
As long as drugs have been used, people have been sharing experiences to get the most out of a trip (as well as the most common pitfalls, such as not looking in a mirror). Of course, tripping is a great experience in itself, as is evident from research. But why should you always do that at home, or only in nature? Below you will find the 7 most fun things to do while tripping. Note: always work safely and, for example, do not drive a car while on drugs.
1. Discover your artistic side
Psychedelics such as magic mushrooms are known to bring you into contact with your creative side. Psilocybin can connect different parts of the brain, allowing you to come up with original thoughts. Are you not normally very artistic? This can change during a trip. So have a pen and paper ready, or painting supplies, a guitar or clay. Use the inspiration as it comes. Let go of your critical self and see what comes to you, without judgment. Try to put on paper (in words or images) what you experience. Later you can look at what you have created and classify it as "funny", "brilliant" or "you can't make head or tail of it".
2. Enjoy the sun
Take advantage of the nice weather, if you trip in the spring or summer. Especially if you don't have much experience with psychedelics, it is advisable to trip during the day. And especially if you use a natural trip substance, such as mushrooms or truffles, it is nice to go outside. If you do that, lie down in the sun. Because of your heightened senses you perceive more. You can then feel how your body absorbs the energy of the sun and that is a special experience. Of course, don't forget to use sunscreen.
3. Play a game
One of the most fun things to do when you are tripping is to play a game. You can think of improvisation games, board games, video games or puzzles. This is only possible if you have not taken a very high dose, then you cannot pay attention. Board games are fun to do together, computer games are great to immerse yourself in fantasy worlds. Games that are often mentioned are Flower, Journey and Minecraft. However, do not play scary and extremely exciting games, they can put you in a negative mindset and cause a bad trip.
4. Fun things to do while tripping: yoga
Yoga literally means yoke and that stands for the connection between body and mind. That is also what you can experience during a trip and that is why these two activities fit together so well. Before you start tripping, prepare your yoga mat and possibly some pillows and yoga blocks. Do calm exercises where you stretch, move calmly and focus on your breathing. You will be able to learn a lot about yourself and the world in your head, while experiencing a deeper connection with your muscles, joints and organs.
5. Visit a museum
Visiting a museum is also a good option, but only at a lower dose (also called a museum dose). A museum is the ideal place to expand your consciousness. Experiencing art gets an extra layer and extra depth when you are tripping. Make sure you arrange transportation so you don't have to drive yourself and it's a good idea to have a tripsitter with you on this trip.
6. Look for patterns
One of the most fun things that can happen while tripping is seeing patterns. During intense hallucinations, you can even see them when you have your eyes closed. Drugs can show us the dazzling beauty and complexity that is hidden in everything around us. It can be interesting to specifically look for this during a trip. What patterns can you find in the wallpaper or in a pebble path? At night, you can marvel at the starry sky and the unexpected symmetry that you can see in it. You will be amazed by the wonderful world that opens up for you when you start focusing on patterns.
7. Follow your deep thoughts
During a trip, your thoughts can go into depth, after which unexpected ideas and thought streams can arise. Psychedelics are also called entheogens (this means: creating the divine within you). It can happen that psychedelics give you new insights. They help you become aware of your own negative thought patterns and can change your view of the world, life and death and God.
These are our 7 tips for the most fun things to do while tripping. Always keep your own safety and that of others in mind. If you have doubts about whether tripping outdoors is something for you, be sensible and don't do it. You can always find inspiration on YouTube in videos that can give you an extra stimulus. Look for beautiful patterns, music or art. Psychedelics are also not suitable for people with mental health issues. Consult your doctor if you are considering using drugs.
