I figured you couldn't really get deep into a medatative state stoned... anyway salvia's not really for me (tried it once recreationaly, had a bad out of body trip). I think I'll just have to cut down my smoking to the weekends to keep a clear mind during the week. See, it's not getting into the medatative state or picking an affirmation or even feeling the affirmation that's troubling me. It just seems I can only concentrate fully on affirmations that are short (i.e.: "peace") but when I try to complicate it I have a hard time feeling the words as a group. Instead I find myself reading the words in short bursts as to understand a little at a time. I'll stay sober for a day or two, then post any changes in the quality of my meditation.. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

Peace
