How To Prepare For A DMT Session In 5 Steps:

What is DMT?

DMT stands for Dimethyltryptamine, it is a drug that is considered to be a hallucinogenic that is very similar to that of LSD, and it just doesn’t last as long. A prime example of DMT is the aspect of ayahuasca that is the hallucinogenic. In retrospect, it is a powder that is white in color or off-white in color and it is highly sought after for its trippy purposes. The trip is known to last about a half hour, which is thirty minutes or so and it is supposed to very intense.

fractal-764921_1280

Some people consider taking DMT to be a spiritual journey and for those people who believe this need to prepare for it before that actual taking of the drug. Preparation such as this is well-known as a DMT ceremony and you can easily prepare for one of your own with just five steps that are simple and easy to do. With that being said these steps are more like tips and come in handy more so with the first journey than any other one.

  • The first step is to master the appropriate technique when taking the drug; it should be smoked and a bong works well but homemade devices are not as good as a vapor genie can be. Doing it the right way from the start is what leads to best experience that is mind blowing.
  • The second step is to prepare your mind; you have your materials prepared now you need to get yourself ready. Relax and clear your mind, don’t let there be bad or negative things on your mind, focus on the good and on what makes you so happy. Consider having an intention set beforehand, such as what you can do with that day, go hiking and be healthy, do chores and clean the house, etc.
  • The third step is to set up your mind the way you want it to be, have a space that is all your own and refer to it each and every time. Know that you should have a little space of your own created in reality as well such as snacks, drinks, music or TV, friends, games, etc.
  • The fourth step is to feed off all of the positive energy that you have, the more that there is than the better that the experience will be. Focus on gratitude and joy, let the little things in life mean the most and make you happy.
  • The fifth step is pretty much stick to the intentions that you created, and if need be adjust them as desired just continue to do good, think good and be good. Doing things, no matter what it is, is achieving something and to achieve something is to experience something that makes you feel good as a person.

In the end keep in mind that when going on this journey for the first time it is honestly better to do it by yourself and then once you have been on it, experienced it and learned from it you can do it the next time with friends around; making the experience that much more enjoyable and mind blowing.

People Are Aging At Insanely Different Rates

Ever noticed why you look older than your companion? Or your friend looks older than you? Individuals normally age at different rates. Some may look old, but their age is not really that far from yours. There are studies that can show that the rate of aging is insanely different when it comes to humans.

dependent-100343_640

The tests made by physiological markers or other intrigued individuals would generally show that most biological ages do not coincide with their looks. Take a closer look when you will be having your school reunion, you will notice that some people who look younger than before, looks so stressed and old by the time your reunion happens.

Some scientists have confirmed that the radical change in the personality or appearance of individuals is caused by their day to day activities. Those people who live their lives in a happy and healthy environment would tend to feel and look younger than those who work hard and get a little amount of rest.

girl-139353_1280

The researchers who test the aging used around 18 physiological markers to garner successful results. Some of these are organ function, blood pressure, genes, and metabolism. These were to assess or determine the factual components or reason on why there is an insanely different rate, and to know the biological age of the individual. Some individuals have not changed a bit, but others are just unfortunate.

A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that several researches on human aging examines or looks into older adults with health disorders and other chronic diseases. In New Zealand, a study involved 954 people who were watched or observed from the start of their birth in the year 1972 until the next year. The researchers also looked at biological markers which comprise cardiorespiratory fitness, immune functions, telomere length, and kidney and liver health.

person-768582_1280

People who have older biological ages are found to have produced worse effects or results of the tests, especially those with ages over 60. It can be seen in the results that older people are consistently rated to possess or show appearance which are older than when they were in their 30s.

Age can only be a number to some people because their age may not coincide with the way they look or see things. Since personalities and appearances can easily be altered by so many factors, it is only a matter of time when you see the change in your life. Change is the only constant here on earth. Deal with it and discover how to use it to your advantage.

You will also see in the photos the different results or rates of aging. Scan through your photo album or just simply open Facebook albums and see the difference. Compare those photos which were taken 10 years after and the photos you now have. Although there are rapid changes in the aging of every individual, it is still important that once you have a great attitude, this must not follow the rapid change. There is nothing you can do when you age, just focus on the more important things.

Man Got Arrested For Flying In A Balloon Chair Over The City

Do you want to experience the feeling of flying? Are you inspired by the movie “Up”? Well, this guy might be. A Canadian man fulfilled something that most people are afraid of trying. He managed to fly with the birds and experience what our superheroes feel when they fly in the sky.

CJMZ5ttUkAAgTbi

Everyone has the freedom to do whatever they want. Unfortunately, this man was arrested because he flew over the city sitting on a garden chair. He was able to fly over the city streets by just tying 100 balloons or more to a single garden chair. He was able to see the beauty of the Calgary city using only these materials.

In exchange for the experience he had, Daniel Boria, the Canadian man, was charged with mischief right after his famous stunt. He carried out this stunt in order to promote or advertise his company which involves cleaning products. The moment Boria, 26 years old, reached the top, he noticed or saw that some of the 100 plus helium-filled balloons are one by one popping because of the pressure and the $20 garden chair where he was sitting was constantly shaking.

After that, he looked down at the city and saw a 747 taking its course. Daniel told the local Broadcaster of CBC that his experience was incredible and that it was the most surreal experience he could ever expect or imagine. Reports say that Daniel was an experienced sky diver and that he planned or intended to parachute himself down the city of Calgary for safety. He actually planned to go down the Calgary Stampede where the annual rodeo festival was being held. But despite of his plans, he was not able to land directly in his designated area. He missed the Calgary Stampede and fortunately landed in the nearby industrial field. His land caused him to sprain his ankle, but the experience was worth it.

The Calgary police said to the public that Boria was primarily charged because of the chair he used. The police said that once the chair reaches its destination to land, some persons may be injured if it fell on the ground. Kyle Grant, an inspector, told the CBC that he expected Boria to face further charges. From the perspective of Boria, he told the public that, “I knew I would get arrested, but I didn’t think they would pursue it as heavily as they did.”

The law grants its people their freedom, but not to the extent as to endanger themselves and that of others. It is always important that one should think about something before acting on it. The public can never deny that what Boria did was very cool, but some people would say that his actions were silly. Other viewers during that incident were very much concerned about how he would get off that chair and land safely. The risk of having to experience that extraordinary altruism is not worth it if it endangers the life of a person.

Why Gold is the Best for Men’s Jewelry

Gold is quickly becoming the go to metal for men all over the world and this latest buzz in the fashion world is raising plenty of eyebrows when it really isn’t all that surprising that men would want in on this classy metal.

tiffanys-rolex-submariner-1680

From the days of yore, gold has been coveted by both men and women equally and has long remained a status symbol that signifies not only great wealth and affluence, but also great sense of style and personality. Ancient kings and maharajas, emperors and pharaohs, all had a preference for this rich metal, and history provides us with enough archaeological evidence to give us a glimpse into their adulation for this precious mineral. So much was gold revered in those times that gods and deities would be commissioned only in this glorious foil and some rulers were such fanatics about its mystical powers they would step only onto gold bricks laid ahead of them when walking about.

drusy-665529_1280

Somehow over the years, gold became marginalized in its use to be limited to a specific gender (women) and men would consider a great insult to their manhood by even implied suggestions of wearing gold jewelry. And hence it was that gold came to be used only for jewelry made and worn by women and was designated feminine in its yellow charm and intense glitter. Of course, gold was still a rare and precious metal and in no way was its value diminished just because men stopped sporting it on their bodies and incorporating it into their attires.

gold-295938_1280

In the 20th century, gold jewelry for men became synonymous with drug lords and mafia heads or tasteless and gaudy men boasting in a manner looked down upon. Gold was a metal for the ladies, they stated firmly, and that was that until the recent years.

You may recall gold being used for accessories and jewelry by men as in the case with musicians and hip hop artists, gangsters and thugs; but this is no longer the case. More and more men are choosing to go with gold when it comes to subtle enhancements in their accessories. Cuff links and blazer buttons, rings and wrist watches are all slowly but steadily leaning towards their gold counterparts.

asia-704743_1280

Gold being used to accessorize a man’s personality is quite a fashion statement in its own right. It is warm and endearing, and reads well as a yellow accent in the color wheel, getting along notably well with browns and other earth tones as well as deep hues like royal blue and hunter green. Gold now comes in different shades and tones and this is another reason that has made it popular amongst the male population due to its simple yet elegant pieces that can bring a whole outfit together by complimenting the wearer remarkably.

So this time you’re looking to get all dressed up, don’t hold back from including gold into your ensemble. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how dashing and dignified you look.

There are cars which make you feel good, then there are cars which make you feel excellent and at last there are cars which make you go weak in the knees, these cars make you drool over them and these cars can make anyone envy you! The McLaren F1 is one of them. F1 has all the elements that can make a car lover go crazy! Here is a comprehensive review of the F1 which we took out for a spin and man oh man; this is a beast that you will love to drive around! Let us begin with the technical specification of this car.

The McLaren F1 is Gordon Murray’s great vision, it has BMW’s engine under the hood, it has been designed by Peter Stevens and yes it has the amazing detailing of McLaren! We decided to get our hands on to a F1 which was a bit old but then they say “age is just a number”, this beast of a car has redefined the word complete with its price tag and specifications that it had to offer from day one! I went and opened the driver side door and jumped right into this classic sports car!

McLaren F1 topcarrating

Now the time to get serious has come, I am right in the center of the car at the driver’s seat getting ready to crank up the engine with the complex start procedure. I have history or rather I shall say greatest of its time in my hand, the F1! I see all the eyes on me at the pit where I am taking the car for a spin. First of all I took the car for a two laps warm up so as to get the tyres heated and well gripped. After the warm up, it was all serious business and my heart was pumping big time, but then that noise of the V12 engine made me dazzle!

maxresdefault

I took a three laps test and made some uncovering. The first thing that I noticed was the poor braking system as I was having a really hard time to slow down the car and the next immediate thing that came to my notice was the body roll this car had to offer when pushing it at the corners or even when braking down. The steering wheel was quite a bit heavy and you will need to spend some serious hours to learn driving this car. The best things which I found was the time in which it covered one full lap (at just 1.22 minutes). The BMW engine was amazing and very responsive. The F1 was an inch better than the Enzo (which also has been an ultra classic car of its time). Well, the F1 has actually been the best car that you can have.

For the honeymooning couple, the Maldives are a dream getaway with their secluded beaches and romantic views. And if traveling with a pack of close friends to raise all kinds of hell as you dive into the clear blue waters is more to your liking, the Maldives are still one of the best vacations you will ever have.

beach-612553_1280

Luxury resorts or affordable guesthouses, exhilarating speedboat rides or the cheap local ferries, the Maldives have something to offer everyone with their own budget.

Coffeehouses and in-house meals at guesthouses and resorts are to die for, and you can experience Maldivian cuisine for next to nothing when it comes to paying the bill.

Now for the main part: activities. There is such a wide range of fun things for you to do during your stay here. Go speed-boating amongst the atolls and snorkeling with manta rays. The sheer exquisite beauty of the underwater reefs is simply breathtaking. You can spend hours underneath the water surface submerged in a heavenly experience. The vibrant sea life is worth every penny you spend on your vacation here, so don’t miss out on it.

dolphins-68580_1280

Night-fishing is another fun activity you can participate in or just enjoy the fishermen working. Befriending the locals is a great way to gain insight into their daily lives and find great adventures not open to regular tourists. Excursions out in the open waters will become a new adventure every day, different yet still just as thrilling. There is something so fulfilling about grilling fish you just caught and savoring it with friends, new and old.

ocean-202080_1280

Besides water related activities, Male, the capital city is a great place to explore. It is home to a number of amazing mosques, museums and other historical monuments and wonderful little cafes that serve incredible seafood and snacks for as little as US$ 3!
