Originally published on trippin.world, CEO of High Focus records and UK Hip-Hop legend Fliptrix shared his knowledge of the best places to trip on psychedelics in the UK.
His music has often referenced them and at times has been inspired by them. Key to a good trip, he explains, is feeling comfortable and relaxed. Your environment is important and nature can often be a good blank canvas with little distraction. From Brighton Beach to Stone Henge, he picks out some of the most naturally beautiful and vibration raising sites the island has to offer so you can have a good trip and really connect with your experience.
Cuckmere Haven
This is a beautiful place where the river Cuckmere meets the English channel between Eastbourne and Seaford. The meandering river also contains several oxbow lakes and is an outstanding area of natural beauty. I always love tripping by water as I feel a deep connection to it so this place is very special to me and truly beautiful.
Stonehenge
On the solstice’s you are allowed in to the central ring of stones at Stonehenge, this is one of the most incredible places in the UK. The fact that Stonehenge is at the centre of a hub, or network, of alignment Ley lines makes Stonehenge an energy portal or place of power. 14 major Ley lines converge here creating a powerful vortex. When coupled with psychedelics and done with the right intention the power of places like this are indescribable.
Averbury Stone Circle
Again Averbury Stone Circle is located in Wiltshire and is also placed on a network of Ley lines which in ancient times would have been dowsed to be located. It contains the world’s biggest stone circle and the megalithic complex spans over three miles. The energies which can be harnessed here are immeasurable and can take you to another dimension. It’s also interesting to note that Wilshire has an incredible amount of Crop Circles every single year so if you are visiting at the right time these can also be great to try and explore.
Cadair Idris, Snowdonia Mountain
I have always felt great power from being around mountains and the Snowdonia National Park in Wales has some of the most amazing mountains in the country. At the bottom of the mountain is a lake with breath taking views. As mentioned before I always have amazing trips by water so coupled with the power of the mountains I feel this is a great spot to hold ceremonies.
Brighton Beach
This one is close to home and I’ve used it as an inter-dimensional launch pad a few times, there is nothing better than being close to the sea while tripping and feel the energy that large bodies of water hold. I’ve have deities walk out the water and embrace me while inter-dimensional structures made of sacred geometry build around me and charge me with energy so this place holds a special place in my heart.
Glastonbury Tor
A lot of The Four Owls music has been made in Glastonbury. Leaf Dog & BVA reside there and I’ve spent a lot of time there, Glastonbury as a whole is a very special, spiritual place which intense energies and many other great places to visit such as the white and red springs and the Chalice Well. Energies are heightened at the top of the Tor as this is where all the Ley lines in the area meet, it is also known as the heart chakra of the world so it’s a brilliant place to hold a ceremony with loving intentions.
St Nectan’s Glen
This is probably Cornwall’s best kept secret, set in a fantastic area of woodland with a 60ft waterfall makes is seem like something out of The Garden of Eden and is really breathtaking. For me being in nature for trips is very important as I feel it really amplifies the energies and helps you connect with certain deities. Any bad energies can be washed down the stream if you’re purging and you can end the trip by grounding in the water and leave with a new sense of fulfilment and light.
Silbury Hill
Silbury Hill is part of the complex of Neolithic monuments around Avebury in Wiltshire. It is also the largest artificial earth mound / pyramid in Europe with a hight of 130ft and more than 200 yards in diameter. This makes it a very unique and powerful location, many people have had paranormal experiences here and a lot of mystery surrounds the location. Climbing to the top of the hill and holding a ceremony here no doubt has the energy to transport your soul to another dimension and back again.
Your home!
The last location on my trip list is your home. The reason for this is it is hopefully somewhere you feel comfortable in, a place you can prepare with a shrine, where you can cleanse and somewhere can use a launch pad to have profound life changing out of body experiences knowing full well you will enter back in to your body in a place you feel comfortable in. Once you have returned from your journey I recommend writing in a journal your experiences so you can look back on them and all you were taught and mediate on the lessons the teachers from the higher realms gifted you.
