The Only Way to Stop Falling is to Let Go
<p><em>TW: This story includes elements of psychedelic plant medicine use.</em></p>
<p>I was falling, from where and to where I don’t know, but it was terrifying.</p>
<p>If I was standing, I was being sucked into a vortex, and only a change in focus could snap me out of the vacuum. If I sat down and closed my eyes, I felt like the man in the photo above, careening into an uncertain void.</p>
<p>My guide would gently notice my body jolt awake to halt the fall and gently talk to me to calm my mind.</p>
<p>I felt as if I could sleep — should sleep — but closing my eyes was anything but the relaxed bliss of a promising restful sleep. This was no reverie, no hypnagogic daydream.</p>
