Kava Curious
I think I've announced enough times here that im still roughly new to Kava. Probably only just now breaking the reverse tolerance barrier that i have read so much about.
Id like to share my two favorite kava 'experiences ' thus far, and open a discussion or hear from others here about their own kava session music or experience with Music while drinking kava.
My very first time i tried kava i put 2 tbsp into my aluball, shook it up and poured two cups. I was sipping through one while cooking a large meal for the next day when i realized i was missing an ingredient and had to drive to the store to get it. So, i was bummed to interrupt my first kava drinking moment but i was not 'feeling ' anything from it anyhow. I got in the car and put on my usual playlist. I listen to alot of jazzy, beat music. If you are familiar with adult swim ( late night cartoon network becomes adult swim programming ) you'll know about adult swim bumps. And probably be familiar with the multitude of full track videos on YouTube. So anyways i put on this song:
Wow, suddenly i felt super relaxed. Was in no rush. Noticed how nice it was to be in the tinted windows of my car in air conditioning while the sun and heat beat down outside. I felt super relaxed and it was pleasant. Then when i got into the store and later that evening i could still retain that feeling but the music actually brought it out.
My next experience was just two days ago. I recently bought a kava filter for traditional prep. I did my usual 2tbsp and kneaded 10min but it was noticeably stronger than my aluball experiences thus far. I was feeling a deep relaxation start to creep up and my girlfriend and i decided to meet my parents for dinner out and about. Since she got a new car recently she basically has been doing alot of driving. Being that it's her car, its her music also that we listen to lol. So i sit in the seat and she turns the car on and it immediately plays that shakira song, Africa waka waka. Now, let me tell you something. That's a funky song to hear when you are just then seeping into a kava state of mind like you never had before!
So, i didn't feel like i was on drugs or anything, maybe it was the 'euphoria ' feeling. But i was listening to this song thinking, " woah, lol, what in the world is this?! Its not bad but it is crazy! " but i didn't want to sound odd because i couldn't find the words to articulate why i found that song so funny at the time. So, i kept it to myself and tried not to grin, just enjoying this exotic music at the time lol. If you've never heard it, this is it, just in case anyone else can experience what i think i did :
So, what are everyone's thoughts here? Im building a kava playlist on YouTube, does anyone else have a kava playlist or experience with Music and kava?
