My Happiness
I must say one aspect of my life that is making me very happy atm is my quest for happiness and health via herbs, wiccan spells and natural remedies.
I am making some amazing discoveries and really opening my mind and my eyes to the world around me.
I no longer look at things and take them for face value anymore. For example a rock is no longer just a rock but a powerful mineral capable of changing the energies around it.
I no longer burn incense to simply rid of oudors or relax. I understand that some incense, burnt at right times and places will bring in goodness and rid of badness.
Last night I laid in bed and practically read all of the book Happy High Herbs by Ray Thorpe, he's the guy that started the whole Happy High Herbs franchise and have released 5 books to date. His books explain the uses of herbs throughout history to present day. How to safely and effectively accheive highs through herbs. It also includes legal information on some of our "restricted" or prohibited herbs and his own personal views on many of these laws (alot of which I agree with. How silly is this one. Harmful and addictive psuedo-ephedrine is legal by prescription in demazin yet the government denies us ephedra in its natural state despite there being nil evidence that ephedra does any damage to our bodies!)
I started off with this herbal stuff as a means to have some fun without breaking the law and hurting my body but Im now interested in using herbs for everyday purposes.
Nowadays I burn white sage incense about once a week to purify our home of bad energies and find that the days I do this Brendon and I actually have a better spiritual connection with one another.
I drink at least 1 cup of "Wellbeing Tea" (peppermint, spearmint and alfafa leaves) a day and find it perks me up better than a cup of coffee and helps me focus.
Since the MBSF I have been wearing a Rose Quartz bracelet everyday to envoke love into my life. A tarot card I selected at the festival stated that I need to envoke the powers of the rose quartz and that I need to start telling people how I feel to do this. The card said things will get worse for me at first but then everything will fall into place the way it needs to be and I will have nothing but love and honesty in my life.
This is definately happening, I think my little episode the other day was a part of this, a part of this process of bringing only goodness and good people into my life.
I am also working on curing my insomnia through herbs, atm just experimenting to see what works for me but definately getting closer.
I have discovered that smoking a cone of Damiana before settling down for the night makes it easier for me to fall asleep and I toss and turn alot less.
According to my book Damiana tea is meant to be an even more potent way to take the herb and has longer lasting effects that way. I am also looking into trying some skullcap to smoke as these are known to have a "tranquillizer" effect and very effective for insomnia.
I still woke up abit tired this morning but I found it much easier to fall asleep and found I stayed asleep as I don't remember waking after then.
I am also not focusing on a "bedtime" or "8 hours sleep" anymore. I will sleep when I am sleepy and that is it. My body will tell me how much sleep it needs and whether I need to go to bed at 10pm or 1am, thats for my body and my mind to decide on their own accord.
As far as the highs go I am definately discovering what I like and what I don't like.
So far hypnotic take the cake with blue lagoon liquid, puff (legal cannabis - a mix of sceletium and other herbs) and the chocolate hearts (same ingrediants as puff just edible and yummy instead) close behind. The guarana go go lollypops are surprisingly potent and great for events and parties too.
Exotic pills are crappy and just made me feel dizzy, drunk and if anything depressed. Hummer pills I am yet to judge as I had these with Exotic to improve the feeling and ended up feeling sick from the mix of pills so still need to try hummer on their own.
Diablos are nice and relaxing, good for kicking back and socialising and go great with a drink or two. Very chatty and social, would have them again for just a gathering or something as these were nice and mild.
Still to try giggle, hoping they will be as good as if not better than hypnotic, all the rave on the web has caused me to have high expectations so we shall see.
So yes this was a long piece but I did need to talk about the obsession that seems to be taking over my life that Im quite pleased and fascinated with.
I know some people have their opinions on this, some of you probably think I am damaging my body with these natural highs regardless of whether they are chemical or natural and to that I don't disagree.
They are a poison to our bodies and like any poison over time and over using will cause damage but isn't it better to be using a natural poison, that mother nature invented that our bodies can adapt alot easier to? Rather than some chemical that was never made to be consumed by humans and research hasn't even shown what the full extent of damage can be?
This is what I beleive in anyway.....
