Quiet Rooms and Psychedelic Trips

Noise and social gatherings are two of the most inappropriate environments for taking psychedelics. They are the major causes of bad trips, especially since the individual's mind is not at peace. Psychiatrists now advocate for a quiet room to be set aside to allow patients to find time to themselves during sessions. The quiet room is a space set apart free of any distractions, such as music or conversations. If, for instance, the sessions are in an apartment, get an extra room, separate from the main room where the sessions will take place. The quiet room is necessary when individuals…

Psychedelics Can Improve Moods for Hours Following Dosing

New research shows the impact of psychedelic substances on the mood of a patient hours after the treatment. As you may know, psychedelics, such as psilocybin, (magic mushrooms), LSD, and DMT cause psychological, auditory, and visual changes. It now emerges that they may also boost mood long after the high is gone. The study was done by Yale University researchers who tested more than 1200 festival-goers and their findings revealed increased feelings of belonging and well-being. Take note that these were regular people and not patients confined in controlled clinical tests. One of the students, Matthias Forstmann, stated that, "Our…

Therapists Seek Government Approval to Take Psychedelics While Treating Patients

Therapists in Canada have requested the federal government to allow them to take psychedelics doses as they treat patients, for a better understanding of the experiences. This comes after a few terminally ill patients filed a petition to have them access the drugs. As bizarre as it may seem, the therapists highlight reasons why dosing themselves will be beneficial for improving levels of treatment. These requests come from a nonprofit organization, TheraPsil, whose mission is to increase access to psilocybin as a psychotherapy treatment in Canada. The group states that if therapists are allowed to take doses of psilocybin, they…

Why Psychedelic Dosage Matters

Finding the right dosage is a major challenge, not just with psychedelics, but any other drug. Some people try microdosing and fail to get any results. Others overdose and get bad trips. It really is a question of trial and error, but a wrong dose is the cause of many psychedelic-related problems. Considering people are different, the effects of the dose will not be the same from one person to another. It doesn’t matter whether you are microdosing or taking very high doses, the effect and how well the drug functions varies. That’s why finding the correct psychedelic dosage matters.…

How Attitudes About Drugs Have Been Evolving

The last two decades have seen a huge change in society's collective perspective on drugs. Surprisingly, even traditionally taboo drugs like psychedelics have slowly become accepted in some parts of the world. Some party drugs like ketamine and MDMA are even being respected as therapeutic drugs. This sudden shift can be seen in the legalization of marijuana in different states, and countries around the world. Just a short while ago, marijuana was in the eyes of the society, a drug used by lazy, idle people and drug addicts. That image has now almost been fully erased and replaced with that…

How Conscious Breathing Can Enhance Psychedelic Treatment

Psychedelic breathing is a conscious practice whose goal is to increase consciousness. It is vital in the deep healing process as it opens the mind and helps in self-exploration. It serves to help you have more insight, new thoughts, and gain more clarity. An example of breathwork is taking long breaths with minimal gap between the inhales and exhales. In yoga, the practice is called pranayama - a process which employs breathing techniques to improve awareness. Many have adapted this breathing technique and use it as a clearing practice before meditation as it's a way of preparing the mind before…

Why Clearing is Vital Before Psychedelic Treatment Sessions

The best way to maximize psychedelic experiences is through early preparation before undertaking the treatment. In scientific terms, this process is called clearing, and it refers to the physical and emotional release of anything that may be causing a burden to your mind. One of the main characteristics of psychedelic effects is the inner journey a patient takes. The goal of the treatment is to ensure the patient gets new insights, improved awareness and a feeling of connection with their inner self and wellbeing. Rick Strassman, a DMT researcher published the importance of clearing before a psychedelic treatment session in…
