Experimenting with microdosing technique

First of all, i regret having not been able to attend our virtual gathering on Sunday. Looking forward to the recording once it’s available.

With the microdosing, I am still trying to figure out the difference between a micro-dose and mini-dose, and it seems to me that maybe there is not a clear difference between the two. I am comparing between a 100 mg vs 250 mg dose, and in each case I notice something both physical and mental, just more apparent with a 250 mg dose. Also, at either dose, a mild effect seems to carry though most of my day, which I enjoy; and it leads to my work within this discipline to continue throughout the day in thoughts and observations. Still have not determined which dose it right for me.

In addition to this open question, I had a number of days over the past week without the right conditions for a microdose, so I ended up getting a bit creative on this practice. I wasn’t able to set aside the time to do this practice in the same format that we have learned, so yesterday and today, I took microdoses of 100mg and 250 mg respectively. And a short while after, went about my day. (These were not dedicated work days, but busy with a number of activities.)

Thus rather than be in a dedicated space with music, and open doors, I carried my open doors through the day and observed how things played out. Experiencing this in the context of life’s daily routines was instructive. (And with the microdose this seems practical, as I was not impaired (as I would have been with a heavy dose) from engaging in activities and interacting with people. Additionally, each day I did a fairly demanding swim, and the microdose seemed to help my connection to the water and engaging my body.

I don’t know if this is the best way to go, or maybe not always, but it seemed to work in this instance, with effective exploration and integration.
