LSD healing session and trip report: Pit of Darkness

Date: March 24, 2008

Place: Montreal

Setting: at my friend's loft downtown, huge space decorated with 12 feet tall portraits of hindu gods on the walls, dreamcatchers, party lights, lanterns and whatnot hanged from the ceiling and a lot of cushions and beanbags all over the place.

Alex, a close shaman friend of mine, performed this healing on me to cure the terrible addiction to opiates I was stuck with at the time. Both me and him had a few tabs (well, he just took one, while I was given three) and they were pretty potent. As soon as the acid was kicking in, my friend lead me to a mattress placed directly on the floor and asked me to lie down, which I gladly did. I spent most of the night lying on my back on this mattress, with Alex being busy around me, placing rocks on my chakras, saying prayers, spells and petting my forehead and hair while reading extracts from many black magick books, Crowley, De Guaita, Levi and whatnot.

Words were echoing in my head, smashing and crushing my soul, mind and body, it was so powerful. The feelings of pressure and suffocation were almost unbearable at that point, but I surrendered to it and I felt swallowed by a pit of darkness. Black and white fractals were dancing behind my closed eyelids, I looked at them for a moment then I heard a scream and saw fireworks bursting, golden white and red.

Alex then decided to lie down beside me as he was getting really far down the rabbit hole too and decided to put some music on. NIN's Downward Spiral went on and we proceeded to listen to it, in absolute silence and stillness. Well, at least, I was still and silent until the song Eraser came on. As it played I instinctively started doing the "Ohm" mantra but when the energy built up I started to sing, then singing turned to screams and laughter. I was rolling over myself all over the place, screaming "kill me" (those were the lyrics of the song and not a real desire to terminate my life) and laughing on top of my lungs, while my friend was looking at me with the biggest grin ever on his face. I came back on the mattress and we hugged for a long time before falling asleep, as the effects were wearing off and we were both exhausted.

After that night, my psychological addiction to opiates and most of my inhibitions and unhealthy tendencies were gone. Soon after, I did a cure in a centre for a month or so during the withdrawal period and I was done with it, forever. I know that story sounds surprising and maybe even crazy, but it's all true. I'm really glad I've been through that trip, it's the best thing that ever happened to me.

Thanks for reading.

 

Well written! It's a great change of pace to hear a report that's non-recreational based and so truly life changing. I feel a little cleansed myself just by reading it

 

yes, good stuff there! what a great sounding setting and friend. glad to see such good benefit came from the experience!

 

Thanks guys, it's much appreciated!

Voyage, indeed I'm blessed with quite a few great friends around me. I'm so grateful about them being a part of my life.

 

Nice. LSD is the only treatment that had a better than 50% lifelong cure rate for alcoholism and heroin addiction when it was being used for such treatments in the '50's and early '60's.

Glad to hear you broke the shackles and are now free to be the who and what you can fully be.
Live, Love, Learn.

 

Ayahuasca can also help these issues thanks for sharing.

 

I'm glad cid managed to help you overcome your demons... Sounds like some heavy shit you went through... Opiates are no joke, which is why I steer clear...

 

I can heal a person, control a person, or a whole room of people with a little lsd and my ipod. I dont control tho, I feel its wrong.

 

Primal you're right about not indulging in opiates, they're bad cause they feel so good. I remember after my first time, I was like "I HAVE to do this again". Anyways, I'm glad it's all over and I thank you guys again for the kind words, you are awesome.
