Okay just wanted to know you people (the users) thoughts on weither or not the effects of Salvia Divinorum are in effect actually out of body experiences and/or astral projection rather than straight hallucinations. It isnt a secret that that SD is known to apparently induce out of body experiences which I think makes this far more unique than most herbs/drugs. One main factor that makes a trip qualify as an out of body experience is the lapse in time. Its not uncommon for a person when having an OBE to report a very long time lapse where they were (during an OBE) yet a short span of time that they were actually out or stoned or whatever you call it. So has anyone actually had a full blown OBE on this stuff? or close perhaps. Tell of any stories. Has anyone noticed a strong difference between OBE's and hallucinations whilst on SD? any info would be appreciated.
A few times when i smoked salvia 10x i felt like i left my body it was like the center of my brain was off to the right a bit and i didnt feel like i was in my body. quite a strange feeling but not scary. i didnt astral travel or leave my room or niothing but i just left my body. -hippi
I think of OBE and visuals as two different things and both can occur on Salvia. if i experience OBE it happens quickly in the first minute, then visuals are more prominent as I morph back into reality. my OBE isn't very visual, it's more of a sentient experience of just knowing what is happening. and sometimes it's more like an "Inside The Body" experience, where I'm aware of my consciousness separate from my body but it's located somewhere inside the body.
Yes i definately agree with this. Especially the last sentence was very well discribed. When youre in a hardcore salvia trip, its kinda like your soul just leaves reality and comes back in a couple minutes, and when i came back i start remembering about the human race that im a part of and shit, and now that your soul is back in your body i felt so awesome just thinking about how i am merely a soul controlling a body, and how i can do whatever i wanna do in the world because life is awesome1!! So yeah in a way salvia made me appreciate life more
yeah i guess you could say that. not necessarily "proof" per say, but while im there, i definately feel my soul "going somewhere". I could be just a tripper but this is how i feel.
