Ecstasy does all those things that are also
achieved with
meditation. If used correctly, it can be a great
therapy tool, but the user has to have a
rudimentary knowledge of what their own
problems are and a goal of "working" on them during the
e session.
Things about ecstasy I wish were more like
meditation:
after meditation one feels free and light; after e, one feels
chemical burn
After meditation one's head feels clear; after e one's head may feel clear, but
Moody Tuesday is coming and must be prepared for and
battled
Meditation can be used to get yourself
down from a bad
roll or lessen the
physical effects of a bad roll. I once ate some bad e, meaning it wasn't really e - know thy source!- and ended up with a major
headache and I couldn't focus my vision. After half an hour of deep meditation I felt completely normal, normal enough to go open the show I was
stage managing later that night.
Another thing about ecstasy I wish was more like meditiation - the more you meditate the stronger you become, (
physically,
emotionally,
spiritually,
cognitively), the reverse is true with ecstasy, it will completly wear you out with longterm and heavy use.
