Do you have any particular ritual(s) when you want to transcend?
Any time tested methods that have always worked that you'd care to share with the group?
Do your methods work (for you personally) with out Entheogens?
Personally, my favorite method that involves the least trouble is white noise (whether it's from a binaural beat or a noticeably loud fan), darkness, and exhaustion.
Since I'm tired, I like to sit in the middle of my bed indian style so that if I start falling asleep I'll begin to fall back and become alerted and go back to where I started.
This is the most effective method I have for both astral projection and meta-programming (besides dissociative substances, of course)
As far as chemical enhancement, I've come to find that the Salvia Divinorum experience can some times be directed (if she likes and is comfortable with you) with music as long as you show the proper respect.
In fact, although the experience inevitably only lasts a few minutes, it can be sustained experientially for as long as you stay on track with your purpose for being there.
Sit in a comfortable chair, in unobtrusive clothing, turn out your lights and put on some very emotionally charged, but mellow instrumental music (Godspeed You! Black Emperor is my favorite for this occasion)
Start your playlist, breathe deeply to relax your body and mellow out your brainwaves, and take your hits
Put away your bong immediately, of course.
Get out there and don't forget what you're trying to do (*have a goal!!*)
You'll be blasted with the usual salvia experience but unlike most of the time, if you have a good relationship with the goddess, it will just be a visually stunning layout with out forcing any meaning/mission or whatever on you (the common "end of the world" experiences, the "I forgot who I am and I have to select the right universe" shit, etc)
The state you'll be in at this moment, in my opinion, is essentially as perfect a beginning to inward work/healing you could hope for.
Anyone else?

What's my Deal.........
— Jul 14, 2009
Great article!!! A bit of a background...I have participated in 10 ayahuasca ceremonies, and just recently beginning to work with peyote under the guidance of a Cherokee Medicine Man. Before the ayahuasca, I trained and became a Certified Theta Practitioner, and have also studied some tantric work with a lady.
The methods without Enthogens that I find have the most impact have been the red tantric work - I attribute that to the shared energy potential of the lady who taught it to me and whom we practiced together.
The most unique work which has nothing other than air is Pranic Healing, with a method taught by David Elliot (www.thereluctanthealer.com) as outlined on his "spiritual practice" CD. Simply put, this is following a guided meditation for a minimum of 13 minutes (the 21 minute is the most impactful). The first time I did this with one of his apprentices, it was as if the air had activated my being to the point of being almost as if it was an Enthogen!! I was alone with the apprentice and the effect was definitely out of body and incredibly freeing!!! 4 hours later I did the same thing with a group of 12, with a similar experience. One women who had never done any energy work was incredibly agitated and did not know how to handle the charge of energy......quite amazing!!
I have also used this breathing technique in a sweat, and it takes the sweat up to a new and powerful level!!!
Interesting note about the peyote: the first time I took it AND smoked a mapacho from Iquitos (where I have studied and experienced the ayahuasca), it was as if the plant medicines were just dancing in the energy field, with the effects of the mapacho deepening the plant dance!!! Ahhh, I am looking forward to another peyote experience end of August.......
Thanks for letting me share!
Namaste' and Peace!

I've found that the deemster entities enjoy sound healing music and even some audiostrobe. I've been trying an audiovisual synthesizer for the full effect. Every morning I meditate and make an energy ball, and generally give thanks to the universe. I'm going to renew my relationship with lady salvia, now that I've grown and extracted some of my own. She's challenging and smart.
As for dreaming - the key I think is to remain still when you think you're waking up, then you can stay between the worlds for a bit longer, awake while dreaming.
