MASSAGE the day before, you do not want to feel your upper neck/back pain

FLOSS+WATERFLOSS your teeth, shave or get laser hair removal

get a QEEG prior (you can use GPT5Thinking/o3 to analyze your QEEG report and figure out if you are more likely to go REBUS or SEBUS, or if alternate protocol [like TMS] would be more helpful), and suggest protocol more optimized to your brain to reduce the downside risk

denoise the day before (more earplugs). CONSISTENTLY USE EARPLUGS ON THE DAYS AFTER (THIS WILL HELP PREVENT EXTERNAL NOISE FROM corrupting your newfound internal state - this is ALSO important for remembering TMS states)

minimize ALL pollution (make sure PM2.5 is low, organic foods before, low-microplastic food, MUFA-heavy, microdose retatrutide [2-3mg] several days prior). maybe eat food from a wholesome restaurant like Life Alive.

check with EWG for low-pesticide produce [psychedelics amplify noise from pollution]

[ideally] sauna the day before

LOG OUT OF ALL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, get a burner phone with you so you don’t post dumb shit

Get logged onto alt accounts if necessary, SET ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PRIVACY SETTINGS TO FOLLOWERS-ONLY

avoid unnecessary attention

set intentions ahead of time

microdose shrooms + heart-holding in SF was my most DMN-quenching experience ever (I need to be calmer, rather than more manic/edgy)
