Hello to all, Just new here so greetings to everyone. I have just moved to Alice and I'm hoping to stay for a few years working in birthing and Aboriginal health. I have a big interest in consciousness states particularly, unusual ones which may include out of body experiences. I read some posts that were written a few years ago about psychoactive plants that may have been used in normal day life or in ceremonies that perhaps could lead to altered awareness. I know this probably sounds like a weird interest but I just trying to build a bit of understanding that might help me to do some research or write a paper that could help me with my studies. I was recently at King's Canyon and the guide said that there was a bush, called Heath Bush (I think) that when dried, was put in the embers of fires. The smoke that then arose was inhaled and could lead to altered states of awareness. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Thanks a lot. Brian.
