Salvia Divinorum & Music? Salvia Divinorum is not experienced by any of the senses, the effects of Salvia Divinorum are rather lived in a deep and mysterious part of the brain, which for the most part makes music rather unimportant for the Salvia experience. Smoking Salvia works best when smoked in a dark and quiet place, giving our soul, spirit, divine force, non-material being or whatever you want to call it an opportunity to let go of the body and its physical surroundings and wander freely (if only for a few minutes) around a purely spiritual realm.
However, on certain occasions certain music CAN help the Salvia Divinorum trip by deepening the experience and/or giving it a different edge. Now, where I live the sounds of trucks and cars are heard continuously day and night, which makes it uncomfortable and frustrating to be "glowing" in my spiritual realm, connecting with "Salvia's divinity" and at the same time having nasty noises polluting my ears. So I tried listening to elektro, lounge, chill-out and even some soft rock ballads but all of this was rather distracting me from a whole, deep spiritual communion. That is until one day I came across Kitaro's CD Silk Road and it's new age, meditational style seemed tempting to try while experiencing Salvia Divinorum, so I pumped up the bass of my stereo while loading the bong with a 20x Salvia extract and laid down close to the speakers... I couldn't have picked a better soundtrack to my trip: as Salvia began to lift me up and away, all the rest of the world completely disappeared, including all the external noise... Kitaro's Bell Tower soft, long sustained notes took me for a ride all around the room.
The trip was definitely different than all my previous experiences in the dark and in silence, nonetheless, the intensity and depth was just as gratifying: I didn't enter an unknown, far away, non-material realm like I usually do; this time I remained in the same room, but not in my body. I found myself diluted ALL around the room, being all the empty space and that empty space transformed in me, I could feel my body lying there, but it wasn't my whole being anymore, it was just a fraction of the greater me that was contained all over and around the room. As the notes went sharper, I was pushed down towards the floor and, if the note was sharp enough, I could feel all my being pressed strongly upon the floor and vice-versa, the deeper the note, the closer to the roof I came... The deepest notes pressed me hard against the roof, rather than being scary or uncomfortable, the more "pressed" I was, the more I could feel the energy all around being more powerful and concentrated in a smaller space. That experience marked my Salvia Divinorum use forever... Ever since then I've experimented with all sorts of soft-paced, meditational and new agy music; most of them haven't given me as good results, but I've found a couple more CDs that take the Salvia experience to a different level. I find it key that the music is really slow paced but, more importantly, the notes should be long, clean and simple, keyboards and flutes seem to be the right choice for this, but nature sounds like water work wonders too. I wish you the best on making your Salvia experience more gratifying and enjoyable every time.
