Litmus and Invocations : Patterns you may experience
Invocations combined with Litmus are very powerful.

Resistance and Expressions
As we practice these ideas and techniques further, we start to experience more of our own system’s adaptations to early-life discomforts.
If you’re meeting resistance, you’re meeting something tender that wants more safety before it can express. Congrats!

No.
Some folks may feel like doing so, but to expand your capacity, it’s important you let it be you, pure, without assistance.
I’m yet to explore microdosing’s effect with this work, but my initial hunch is that’s ‘pro level’ and it’s not something to engage until you feel you’ve significantly leveled up your ability to be present and unattached in a number of your previously ‘intolerable’ discomfort edges.
Part of this reason is that until someone knows their own system well enough to know ‘why’ they feel drawn to substances and how they help AND hinder, it’s important to avoid them.
This blind spot can counter-cast intention, and potentially hinder your process.This is not about judging substance use, it’s about insuring you know that we all have blind spots and until they’re made visible, it’s unhelpful to use aids you don’t fully comprehend your connection to.
If it wasn’t clear - please do not get inebriated before doing any of these techniques.
If microdosing does benefit this work, I’ll explore that as a ‘you’ve been doing this a while’ process for the reasons above.
