Sounds like you did all the right kinds of thinks, Bask. If you know how to keep calm with psychedelics, you can apply the same kind of breathing tricks or whatever works. Breathing is very good to focus on, btw, sometimes it can get chaotic when the energies of transformation intensify. Believe it or not, a little bit of chocolate can also help immensely. Might have something to do with magnesium, which helps calm, all I know is it has helped me. Another thing that has helped me is mantra. Good to have one handy to repeat while intensity peaks and you wonder if you will be exploded into tiny bits of light. Helps maintain integrity while allowing new patterns to settle in a sort of high-frequency bath of sound. I have literally felt my beingness reassemble itself after losing integrity by repeating the Mrityunjaya mantra, but anything will work. OM is a good one 😉
Just as death is transformation, in transformation there can be an experience in which part of the old you passes from your new-present experience. Whatever you can do to relax into the shift as it happens will ease it. I’ve also found it helpful at such times to take a look around at my living space and see what I can get rid of, that used to seem so vital to my existence. Feels really good! Goes along well with chakra clearing.
Sounds like you are in excellent hands, both seen and unseen! 😀
