Relaxing is important. On the day of your trip, the entire day should be wide open, without a worry in the world, meaning no obligations, responsibilities or anything that you have to do. With LSD, you are going way beyond all of this kind of thing. If something happened yesterday that is bothering you or if there's something ahead in the next day or two that you're uptight about, then this is not the right time to take LSD. Do it another time.

You should also have the day after the trip wide open because this experience is so overwhelming in so many ways that you'll be glad to have the next day free to absorb and think about what happened. If you are going to have a day trip, then Saturday would be the day to do it. If you take LSD at night, then Friday night would be the night because you will be up all night until well past dawn and maybe well into the afternoon. If you're tripping when that sun comes up, it will be a new day. Calling it a new day will have meaning that it never had before. It won't just be a new day. It will symbolize a new world and a new life

The first effects of the LSD are likely to be physical changes in how your body feels and visual changes in what you see and how you see it. The physical and visual changes will remain a constant throughout the trip, regardless of anything else that's happening, just like breathing is always a constant no matter what else a person is doing or not doing.

Let's start with the physical changes involving how your body feels. People don't realize how physical the experience will be. It will likely start with a tingling feeling, maybe in your fingertips and other parts of your body, simultaneously. It will be a tingling, vibrating, throbbing kind of feeling and you will feel sensations throughout your body that you have never felt before. These sensations are nothing new to your body. It's only new to your conscious attention. It is the first time that you have become consciously aware of these sensations. To your body, though, it's old hat. The body itself is not behaving any differently than usual. The body and your brain have known about this the whole time. You're just getting more tuned in and in touch with what's going on inside your body. There is a whole universe within your body or the body is a universe in itself and with LSD, you can not only become aware if it, but feel at home in your body in a way that you have never felt before.

You might feel like you're all charged up with energy. It might feel like delicate threads, electrical forces or powerful currents of energy radiating, rippling, flowing, pulsing, surging or streaming throughout the body. You'll be feeling your body in a whole new way and an infinitely better way. It is super sensuous and you will feel worlds better than you have ever felt before. You'll be saying to yourself that you just didn't know that it could be this way. You won't believe how great you'll feel and you will know that it just doesn't get any better than LSD because nothing CAN be better. This is it!

It's even possible to feel the blood moving through the veins or become conscious of your cells as alive and active. Your body can feel so light that it's as if you're floating in the air or your body can feel like it weighs ten tons and that it would take tremendous effort just to stand up. You know that you could get up if you had to, but there's sure no point in doing it at the time. If someone is feeling the effects of the LSD so well that they don't think that they can move, then why move? They're doing just fine right where they are and might as well stay there and enjoy it. When they're ready to get up, they'll get up and if they spend the entire trip in the same spot, that's great. If someone can spend about 12 hours sitting in one spot and be happy to stay right there, then you know that something amazing is going on.

There are other changes that can be happening with your body. It's possible to feel as if your body is made of another substance. It can feel like your body is made of wood, glass, plastic, metal, marble, stone, clay, paper, leather or anything else. You can feel as if your body is made of wood, for example, but it doesn't interfere with the physical coordination of your body parts. You can still move around any way you wish, as usual, but it just seems like the body is made of wood or whatever it is. It's nothing to worry about and it won't last. You are just finding out what it's like to be made of wood or to be a piece of wood. This is an example of an unusual thing that can happen.
