It is not the first time that we explore the world of psychedelia or a psychedelic trip. The way that psychedelics put the body into a heightened state of sensitivity, which in most cases results in a positive awareness, seems to stem from a deep connection to nature.
Psychedelics fall into two groups. On one side are substances that include natural compounds of psilocybin, DMT, and mescaline found in so-called «magic mushrooms,» ayahuasca, or the iboga bush. On the other hand we have synthetic hallucinogens such as LSD, ecstasy or ketamine, which are not considered psychedelics, but also cause alterations of consciousness.
The 2 faces of psychedelics
It is important to know what substances are used, since since the «psychedelic renaissance» in the 1990s, different research groups have bombarded the world with studies on the possible health risks of psychedelic consumption.
However, some approaches take up the positive effects of psychedelics in psychotherapy. One of the benefits is relief from depression, anxiety, and even symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
At the same time, the results of various studies refer to mystical or transcendent experiences during a psychedelic trip. Some people often turn to psychedelics in search of these experiences. Somehow, however, they have to ensure that this journey is carried out in the most rewarding way.
By this we mean that, if you have chosen to experience a psychedelic trip, it should provide positive changes in mindset, feelings and in the worldview in general. But how do you achieve something like this?
Ideally, before, during and after the psychedelic experience, you should work with a guide or a reliable expert on this subject. If it is impossible for you to contact an expert, at least make sure you are accompanied by someone who can keep you safe or have a guide like the one below.
