The effects set in as soon as I exhaled, gradually increasing in intensity for around one minute. I remember thinking 'Am I- YEP!' after exhaling. I laid down on my bed, which I had opted to smoke in close proximity to. I felt a sensation as if something were turning around each arm, and around my tongue. When I closed my eyes, I became aware that this feeling came from gears affixed around each of my forearms and my tongue. I saw a monk turning each of the gears around my arms, which was moving the three of us (the monks and me) gradually toward a waterfall. I knew that I was not yet ready to go over the waterfall. I spoke, which slowed the movement of the gear around my tongue, in turn causing the monks to stop rotating the ones around my arms. My mind had generated a mechanism to keep me from venturing too deep into the trip, which would have overwhelmed me!
I continued to speak to my sitter, grounding myself in reality until the effects tapered off, and I began quickly and excitedly describing my trip to my sitter. Afterwards, light seemed more vivid and colors brighter for about an hour. I will never forget my first salvia divinorum experience.
