So, thinking about venturing into the rabbit hole? Psychedelics, specifically magic mushrooms & LSD, have been researched to treat depression, anxiety, and deliver personal development. These “drugs” have been analyzed and tested since the 50s-60s. You don’t have to be a long-haired tree hugger to vibe out. A number of people have even beat certain addictions with the use of psychs. If done properly, you will have a life-changing experience that brings you closer to understanding your purpose and emotions. Below are a few basic steps to creating a pleasant trip. Unfortunately, there are cases of people going through a bad trip,( especially if they are predisposed to phychological illnesses.)But not you! Setting yourself up for success will guarantee you to come out on the other side with the ultimate Ego death.

Clear Positive Mindset — Going into the light, with an uplifted, positive mindset is probably the most important tip. Although good for treating depression, Emotions are super sensitive and heightened during the trial. Observe whether your brain is prepared for the rewiring and introspection. Optimism is your best friend. This is an exciting adventure and an opportunity to learn. If feelings of sadness or inadequacy arise, remember that you have the power to control the direction of the trip at any point. Deep breathing will bring you back peace.

Save the date —Setting aside a whole day will definitely boost the trippy ambiance. It's hard to hang loose when unwanted distractions, obligations, or important deadlines arise. Don’t fill guilty to pause the to-do list, think of it as a self-care vacay. Having the next day to take it easy would be ideal. If you want to get even more unplugged tuck your phone on do not disturb and stay off of social media for the day.

Get comfy in a safe space— Keep your circle small and your space cozy. A sober sitter can keep you company or surround yourself with a couple of trusty folks. You may feel more in tune with the thoughts and feelings of others. With that being said, having folks that are abrasive, judgmental, or emotional vampires will drain your energy. Avoid public dense spaces and others who aren’t also tripping. Wear your favorite comfy clothes and have plenty of water on hand.

Keep in mind, If things get too intense, start centering the mind with deep breaths. Relax. you are in control, and the effects are only temporary. It will eventually be over. Try changing things up to help with comfort levels. Tap into your inner youth and be creative. Start to draw, paint, or write. Maybe switching the music or leaving indoors to bond with nature would help. Build your nest.

Lsd and Magic Shrooms are like Star Wars vs Lord of the Rings.
