Have you ever had psychedelic experiences that have been effortless to integrate insights from while having other psychedelic experiences that you couldn't get your head around? Have you been exploring psychedelics for a while, or are you completely new to the world of alternative healing?

To make it easier, we’ve made a general list of checkmarks before considering psychedelic therapy:

As a rule of thumb, most clients will feel rested the day after the psychedelic journey. However, there are exceptions. Suppose you have been through demanding emotional aspects within your psychedelic journey. In that case, you might have a headache and feel worn out – especially in your eyes if you cried a lot during your session. These symptoms will usually pass within the first day after your psychedelic session.

If you have been using compensational strategies to avoid symptoms, such as anxiety, for example – these might be more apparent after your psychedelic journey. Experiencing this can be painful but is not dangerous in itself – and opens a window of opportunity to process these emotions. A general recommendation is to embrace it the same way as content emerging within a psychedelic journey: Don't run from the feelings, but rather feel them and let the emotions unfold.

The essential element to a rewarding psychedelic experience is devotion, surrender, or letting go. Surrender and acceptance of what is shown to us, and what we feel within ourselves, and letting go of the things we hold onto. It is naturally much more straightforward to describe the process rather than face the pain if it’s about taboo areas of our lives or if it contradicts what we thought we knew about the world. Maybe large and rigid belief or ideology systems are about to fall apart within us, or we might have been told what to do or not to do as kids, which limits us from living the lives we were destined to live. Our inner core, where our unique qualities might unfold, is usually “covered up” by layers created and defined by the conditions we grew up in, societal norms, or morals.

In my previous article, we explored the different paths a psychedelic journey might take. Let's look into a few more aspects of a psychedelic journey that might bring you along the way.

A psychedelic journey can evolve into three main categories when the empowering insights are shown to us. You can't determine which of the categories you will be gaining insights from, but from a series of experiences, most of us will experience all three of them at some point. – And nearly everyone becomes surprised at how the experience manifests itself.

Have you been researching psychedelics for a while, or have you just newly begun your due diligence? Are you seeking alternative answers to traditional therapy methods or an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs? Or are you seeking a more spiritual approach? Let's dive into the fundamentals of how psychedelics work to give you more context to the subject. As always, we recommend doing research before approaching a psychedelic experience. Educating ourselves is an integral part of the journey and essential to achieving the desired outcome.

Is this your first psychedelic session? Or are you still researching and doing your due diligence on the subject? No matter where you are in the process, our mission is to guide you into having a safe experience when the timing is right on your end.
