Drip, Drip, Drop.
Samsara means the cycle of death and rebirth to which life in the material world is bound. We are asking you to awaken your spirit.This work is not something to be taken lightly. When you play with magic shit gets weird. Your life can change when doing this work. Your feelings do not have to be rational, or accurate as long as you are able to express them somehow, they are valid.
Support.
Your people will be ever so helpful for the come down. Hugs, cuddles, and physical touch is a great way to tell your body “don’t listen to hormone B, we actually do need hormone A.” This can include sensual stimulation such as baths, massage, orgasms, tickle-attacks, weighted blankets, etc.
Self.
When you notice the negative thoughts starting, take pause. Be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else. You’re not broken. There’s nothing wrong with you. Your body is in fact working as it is designed to, you’re just in a temporary state of chaos while your hormones recalibrate. You’re going to be ok.
What is drop?
The drop experienced from our events may not only be one of a biochemical process. It is also process of loss/grief, or a reaction to loss that is part of identity change. When you show up to our events, we ask you to be your authentic self, the self that no one on the outside may be. We tell you it’s okay to take off all of those layers that have been put upon you from generations of shame, guilt, and fear around sex. That doesn’t come lightly or easily. It takes incredible bravery. Give yourself all of the credit, you’re doing the work.
This “Drop” looks different for everyone. Some people feel blasé about the “normal” world. You might feel sad or depressed. You might cry a lot. Your energy could be super low. When you’re in the middle of it, it can be overwhelming. The emotions that can surface during and after our temple time are necessary to address.
Don't keep them bottled up.
Write them down. Talk about them.
You just have to get through your feelings.
