Intention is important, knowing why you are participating in psychedelic sessions is the foundation to listening in them. Understand that these experiences can be life changing but can also be the most difficult thing you will ever experience. Every fear you have will be tested, you will have no option but to be with it.
Psychedelic healing sessions are extremely difficult.
There is no sense in trying to be something you are not entering a session. If meditation, fasting, prayer, dietas, mantras, art are not your thing introducing them to your life just for the psychedelic experience is non-sensical. Go in to the experiences as the you that you are, this is where you are at in your life, work with it, learn to accept it and love it as it is first. We start here.
Recommend not listening to people maintaining the belief these things are necessary, particularly if that person has had psychedelic session after psychedelic session for years and is still seeing the universe. This person, and their community, have not learnt a single thing from the experiences, there is no listening, they are not looking at themselves, they are basically psychedelic junkies. This person has no idea! They are blocking their own and everybody elses path in their universe.
However, there are a few key factors. In the week leading up to the sessions reducing processed foods is important, ultimately if you are serious about your health and healing your diet won’t be dominated by these foods anyway.
Taking 20 minutes a day in absolute silence with no distractions is also a great tool to introduce, what you feel and the narrative that starts in your head during these 20 minutes is a basic introduction to the psychedelic experience and what you will encounter within it.
Additionally, the 20 minutes emotions/feelings/sensations/energies will rise and change, you have to be with them when there are no distractions, so breathe with them. Your breath, breathing when a psychedelic session becomes tough is the only tool you have to be with it, it’s the best tool we have, a fantastic tool.
Keep this shit simple, learn to simplify your life, yourself and open up to the beauty and freedom that comes with it. Another key medicine teaching.
I know words like enlightenment, bliss and God are a prison for many of us. I know that these words are freedom for others. I know we can teach and be all these things when we understand them, I know we are none of them when we don’t. I know these are the limitations of our language as they are the complexities of it. I know I can talk about the same thing in a million ways, from everyone’s perspective, I know this is my common language. My ability to hear you as you is what I am.
