The one and only time I tripped, I did it at home cozy in my bedroom with my partner.
My cat stayed no further than 2’ from me the entire time, mostly curled up right above my head on the pillow as I laid on the bed. He watched me the whole time with this soft and peaceful look and I could feel his protective energy. At one point I could see it, in my peripheral in my visions as a warm orange glow almost like a color filter in my upper left visual field. This description likely makes no sense, as most descriptions of tripping tend not to. But I felt and saw him, and knowing he was there and wanting me safe made a huge difference in my enjoyment and security in the experience.
