Solo tripping: is that something for you?

If you are in doubt about whether to use magic mushrooms on your own, this is something to think carefully about. It is a good way to explore your subconscious. But in doing so, ask yourself, what you hope to learn from this and what tools you can use to make sure you stay grounded and centered during your journey. There are several advantages to solo tripping.

The benefits of solo tripping

Of course, one of the great advantages of tripping by yourself is that it is much easier to plan. You don’t have to take other people’s schedules into account and you can choose the perfect time of day. Furthermore, tripping alone is also fine for people who are uncomfortable in groups.

When using magic mushrooms on your own, a trip (if you have at least some experience) can be healing and make you feel powerful. Because you get through the journey well yourself, it feels like a victory and can give you a sense of self-confidence. In addition, there are no others to give an opinion on your experience, making it purely yours. If someone else is present, even if that person is silent, that person can change the experience.

The disadvantages of tripping alone

Although magic mushrooms are the safest drug, they can still be unpredictable, especially even if you use higher doses. Mushrooms can cause physical discomfort, but also mentally things may not go quite as planned. A trip can cause paranoia, disorientation and anxiety.

One of the big challenges of tripping by yourself is making sure you still feel safe and supported. This is especially true if the trip is mentally challenging and you dive deep into your psyche and start trying to process pain from your past. If you don’t address this properly, you can go through certain traumas again and only suffer more afterward.

For that reason, it may be smart to still ask a close friend to be a trip sitter. This does not have to be in the room with you, but can stay in another room, for example. That way you still have the benefit of a solo trip, but can feel comfortable that there is someone around to fall back on if needed.

Good preparation if you are going solo tripping

Do you want to go on a solo trip? Preparing for a trip is not very different from doing it in a group. It’s just important to pay even closer attention to your safety. How do you make sure you get help when problems arise? How do you ensure your emotional safety when you encounter challenges during a difficult trip?

So when tripping alone, it is a good idea to carefully determine not only your dose, but also your location. Especially if it’s your first time, just stay at home where you feel safe and comfortable. And keep the dose relatively low (or opt for microdosing), so there is the greatest chance that everything will go well. Note the following points:

The set and setting

Before a trip, it’s best to make sure you have the best possible set and setting. The set revolves around your own mood, how you feel. Before tripping, assess whether you feel fit and healthy. When you are anxious, angry or depressed, it is better to choose another time to trip. It can also provide a sense of security to tell a close friend or associate that you are going to trip and that you can call them if necessary if there is anything. This will make you feel more comfortable, which will make you feel more at ease.

Also look at your surroundings, the set. Is it a safe place, where you are safe even in an altered state of mind? Put soft pillows and blankets there so you can travel warm and comfortable. Provide water and some food, put on quiet music for a pleasant atmosphere and put notifications on your phone on silent. Then you are ready for your solo trip.

Dealing with challenges when tripping alone

When you are alone, you may experience side effects from the magic mushrooms. Think nausea, anxiety, physical discomfort and confusion. You will then have to deal with that yourself. Make sure you know in advance how you will accommodate that. Certain techniques can help you deal with these situations better, such as meditation, mindfulness, journal writing, breath work or yoga.

If emotions become very overwhelming, it may help to distance yourself from your situation. Focus on your breathing and observe your emotions without going along with them. Breathe calmly and feel the emotions, but let them pass through you, like leaves on a river floating by.

If it’s really hard, you can always call your close friend who warned you. Even afterwards, it can be nice to talk to someone about your experiences, so you can give everything a place and learn from what you went through. Because whether you are tripping solo or in a group, a trip can be a profound and valuable experience that can benefit you for the rest of your life.
