Introduction
While writing Wake, Bake & Meditate: Take Your Spiritual Practice to a Higher Level with Cannabis , I knew I had to do this second book to show how easily you can incorporate weed-inspired meditation into your daily life with a more relaxed, less ritualistic approach that still combines cannabis, meditation, and a bit of magic all into one. In this book, you do not need to seek a peak experience for each meditation. You may perform them lightly buzzed or in a much deeper state, but a peak experience is not the overall goal for most of these. There will be a few meditations where it is noted a peak experience is ideal.
What is a peak experience? If you have not heard of a peak experience before, the best way to describe it is this: A peak experience with the use of cannabis is when you reach a level in your high where you feel completely at one with the universe. You feel there are no boundaries separating you from the environment around you. It is the ultimate feeling of oneness and makes for an ideal setting for connection and communion with the divine, universe, spiritual guides, or your higher self.
Cannabis can complement your work in many ways, and while the first book centered on the more ritualistic approach, which I believe greatly helps beginners as they are getting started, this book brings weed-assisted meditation into your daily life to be used at any time. Cannabis allows users to get in touch with themselves. It assists the user in stepping outside of themselves to take a more objective look at themselves and their situations. It reveals thoughts and feelings, and sometimes gives you a punch to the gut with what you learn about yourself. It is an eye opener. It wakes you up.
For the most part, these meditations are not written in a guided format. Many give you questions to contemplate in your meditation. If you are meditating daily on your own, guided is a hassle. Read through the meditation, several times if necessary, and then center your focus on what you just read. Go to the place you need to go, reflect on what you need to reflect on, visualize what you need to visualize.
This book will be broken down into different sections that, overall, will cover meditations for:
366 days of the year
27 lunar meditations
6 solar meditations
8 sabbats
5 elemental meditations
8 aura and chakra meditations
The first section is set up in calendar format: January through December with each date listed. These meditations follow the cycle of the year, with each month incorporating quotes, herbs, gemstones, sounds from nature, breathwork, trance dance, meditative songs, a tasting experience, aromatherapy, and chants, along with more traditional meditations. Cannabis amplifies your senses. These meditations will help to incorporate all your senses into your spiritual practice. You dont often use other senses in a meditation, so incorporating things such as touch, scent, and taste builds on to the experience.
The special meditations you will find each month include:
