Ceremonies, rituals, habits, routines - whatever your addled brain wants to call them - really help with making the specific microdosing benefits you want happen for you.

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, has been labeled a break-through treatment for depression and mood disorders by the FDA.

In the past few months, I’ve been getting more questions about microdosing and ADHD than usual. I’m going to share two perspectives: What I intellectually know/have studied. And what I’ve seen with clients/feel & intuit with the mushrooms.

People who experience trauma are at an increased risk of developing dysfunctional stress responses like emotional dysregulation, flashbacks, and detachment.

If you ingest something new that is supposed to affect your brain, and you feel it working right away, it might be very effective, but it is likely not sustainable.

For people nervous about public speaking or presenting, the present-moment awareness generated by microdosing helps them to not be overcome by anxiety in the moment.

Quality intention setting is so much more than writing an affirmation on a piece of paper (<-- that's just a reflection of your intention). It’s also easy to conflate intentions with goals. Yet they’re two distinct things.

Stacking, as related to microdosing, involves combining psilocybin with complementary - generally non-psychedelic - substances for a synergistic effect.

An isolated component from a plant is less effective than it would be when interacting with the other components inherent within the plant.

Any legit plant medicine guide and facilitator must ask for your medical history and be knowledgeable and open about interactions between the substance used for the guided journey, anything you’re taking, and any conditions you may have.
