I believe I've had very intense out of body experiences without the use of drugs using solely meditation. It's amazing what your mind can do for your body. Since gaining some sort of peace within my own head, I've been able to use meditation as my 'daily drug' and it's a wonderful thing really. I focus less on astral projection in my meditations sober now than when having psychedelic experiences. '
I find the concept of focusing my energy towards peace and contentment during meditation to be very rewarding. I can lower my blood pressure and relieve anxiety with little effort. It's worth looking into, ni'k. It's a head space I feel you'd like, from our conversations. You're an incredibly intelligent person. The universe is yours.

my problem is that i have meditated before and expierienced massive difficulties arising from it, or at least from what i believed was going on at the time, but that's way too deep to go into now. i have been trying again recently more just to relax.
i did relaxation therapy once and achieved a similar state to when i first meditated, it was great, afterwards i was lying on a sofa curling up and moaning like a cat ha. it felt better than weed. i havent been able to do it the same since because i did it with an instructor, but i might try to find some audiobooks of it online and do it again.
it was basically lying on your back with your eyes closed listening to cheesy music while the instructor told you to stretch each part of your body and hold it till (which was very tense and painful) and then release it. afterwards it really did feel like the a good version of being stoned. altho the second time i tried it it wasn't as good.
there is a lot in this thread and the pm's from it that i have to read and go through more thoroughly but when i do i'll post about it again.
