    On Listening to the Kava

    For sure. To be able to hear someone out respectfully, without feeling like you have to agree with them entirely. They may have good reasons to disagree by their lights, as I might by mine.

    On Listening to the Kava

    I had a few shells this morning while I was doing some reading, and I felt compelled to share my understanding of what it means to 'listen to the Kava'. I have heard this spoken about often in the Kava community, and as I drink more, I see that there's truth in it. In order to listen we must...

    Anyone ever get feelings of both immense sadness AND happiness when drinking Kava?

    I hope you'll both have a good time reading it. Yesterday I updated the text, correcting some mistakes I found while adding a few more words here and there. Let me know what you think of it.

    Anyone ever get feelings of both immense sadness AND happiness when drinking Kava?

    You are very welcome! I would be happy to leave a link here, hopefully it works. It's called Modest Light, it's available on Amazon. I feel like some areas of the book are better than others; it is like a patchwork or a forest complete with unsightly areas as well as (I hope) little gems and...

    Anyone ever get feelings of both immense sadness AND happiness when drinking Kava?

    I can relate. Tears of joy and sadness seem to come more readily, which is an effect I cherish. There are feelings of awe, wonder, and occasionally a sorrowful compassion that feels deeply filling and human. It is bittersweet, like cherry blossom petals wilting and fading below their parent...

    What is the most kava you've consumed in a sitting?

    Might have had 6 or 7 tablespoons of Boroguru once. :sleep: Before reverse tolerance I remember chewing on 9 year Isa with no effects. I don't drink wild kava any more, though.

    What is you favorite kind of Kava and why?

    I've had incredible experiences when combining Boroguru and Borogu together, but I find Boroguru on it's own is a little too heavy and sleepy. I think I'm starting to develop a taste for headier strains. Fijian waka is very nice. So far, Nambawan has been my favorite I think.

    We have a fine musician among us - have a shell, watch and listen...

    I really like it. It's slightly off kilter, which makes it sound natural and laid back. Like the sound of a river.

    Anybody use L theanine or 5 htp?

    I've used L-theanine before, I find it has slight, barely noticeable effects. I like it best when combined with a cup of green tea from which it came. I think it's synergistic with caffeine.

    What are you drinking tonight?

    I woke up and had a few shells of Nambawan. Still feeling it. Pretty pleased. :sleep:

    Meh... Isa/Tudei

    Maybe it's really old. I have some old Isa Kava from KBR, I gave it a try a few days ago. Really only felt a very mild sedation, felt like most of the kavalactones had been broken down, kinda bummer. Does it taste kind of old?

    What BKH Kava Strain Gives You The Strongest Effects ?

    I've just drank my first shells of Nambawan, have to say I'm impressed. I don't know if it's consistent given it's a blend of noble Kava, but for me I find it much more heady than Boroguru. I preferred a more body effect until I had this one. Now I can say I like both effects equally. The flavor...

    Kava and Memory

    I've been drinking Borogu and Boroguru daily for the last week or 2. I feel like my memory and focus have been improved quite a bit. :woot:
