Kava For Creativity

[chandra]

I'm a freelance writer. I'm wondering if there are certain strains that are better for creativity. Boronguru has become my go-to Kava. I've been suffering from writer's block, and I'm wondering if the Kava has anything to do with it? I don't think it would, but I'm still new to this. Also is there any strains that would be better for stimulating my creativity? You would think that Kava's relaxing and mind clearing properties would have me writing better. May just be other circumstances. IDK.

I wrote my entire Master's thesis (170 pages!) while drinking Nakamal at Home's Solomons Kava. I don't know what the chemotype profile is on that, but I found it to be incredibly inspiring.

I may have to try that. The problem may be external factors and not really being interested in what I'm writing. I am, however, interested in a paycheck. Hence, my dilemma.

When I'm drinking kava, I turn into a super, super lazy guy. I wish I could do what @Kavasseur says, because it would be magical. Unfortunately, kava just doesn't work like that in my system.

It might be because I drink a pretty thick brew, so you might be able to get away with drinking a super weak grog whilst still working.

The headier kavas and even boronguru which is supposed to be more balanced are energizing for me. I usually drink one fairly weak drink to get my day started and a stronger one in the evenings. Kavas that are more sedating to me do make me lazy. I'm wondering if I need a heavier Kava to drink at night. Maybe it would help more with my stress and help me be more creative in the long run. Which to try? A creativity inducing stimulating Kava or a knock you on your rear night time Kava? I can't afford both at the moment.

Bula Kava House also sells a good Solomons Kava. Oh, and @CactusKava your Ono is a good uplifting Kava for my creative needs!

 

[I don't know]

A saw a few people mention that Moi from GHK boosts creativity. It is heady.

 

[Jonathan]

Yep. Mo'i works for that. Also BKH's 11 year waka.

Consider your dopamine levels too. It may sound weird but that can have a lot to do with writer's and/or musician's block. Think about taking L-Tyrosine or Mucuna Pruriens to regulate your levels... My 2 cents...

Johnathon I hadn't thought about that one. I may try it.

I think a mix of ghk moi and mahakea at a 2:1 ratio would be great for that
