Stan Grof is probably the one with the deepest understanding and the most practical experience. He has lots of great books like: The Way of the Psychonaut and LSD Doorway to the Numinous. Ralph Metzner also has lots of experience with psychedelic therapy and a great summarizing book: ALLIES for AWAKENING Guidelines for productive and safe experiences with entheogens LSD and the Mind of the Universe by Christopher M. Bache is not particularly about therapy but he uses Stan Grof's methode to explore the mind and you will learn lots of useful stuff in this book. Entheogenic Liberation: Unraveling the Enigma of Nonduality with 5-MeO-DMT Energetic Therapy by Martin Ball is also helpful even if you don't use 5-MeO-DMT. Also you should check out Marin Balls podcast there are a few episodes where he talks with psychedelic therapists. You can go down the rabbit hole and find endless stuff and also lots of bad information's so be careful.. If you dive into Stan Grof's work you can't go wrong but as you probably know reading about it and doing it is a totally different thing. Of course it's good to study the literature but this work is highly individual and your experience will most likely be very different from what you have read. I would suggest to start with long lasting psychedelics in moderate doses like 100ug lsd and then slowly increase the dose over your sessions. The psychedelic will basically teach you everything you have to know but you have to experiment a bit and find whats the best methode for you.

I think you like that one @Leo Gura

it worked ?❤

love all your points ? to add: good friends, walks in natures and good audio/books or tv serie

My reaction to the shot was very bad. The first night and the day after were horrible, never felt so bad. Yesterday I was still feeling weak, today I feel fine but everything I eat comes out 10 min later. Felt like my body tried to fight against the vaccine as hard as it could..

so sorry for his family and friends... you can still die consciously in old age

holy shit that dose fucked me up hardcore I had chills the whole night and I couldn't move for hours.. still feeling very weak with slight headache never been so fucked up my whole life, don't plan anything for the next day when you get your shot

Just got my AstraZeneca shot. . Im feeling dizzy but I think it's the acid and weed form yesterday

@OBEler you have to slowly increase your dose and play the long game No, in my experience it's not possible. The lsd experience is very different for me once I go above 400ug, almost like a different drug. Maybe it will work for her, I don't know. Also maybe your girlfriend is much more sensitive then I am and she only needs 200ug to go that deep. You have to take some risks and experiment on your own since it's not legal in germany and I doubt it will be legal in the near future.

@OBEler Yeah once you recognize the root, work trough it and accept everything as it is, healing takes place. In my case I didn't have severe trauma, more like standard stuff that everyone has and facing this already was utterly terrifying. So keep in mind when someone has some heavy trauma like being abused as a child or something, it's going to be rough but it's worth it for sure. Stan Grof did lsd therapy with around 2000 patients and if I remember correctly, I think he said that there was not one case they couldn't resolve. But as I already said he worked with high doses around 500ug.

The best would be to go to a psychotherapist and in combination do psychedelics at home. The hard part is to really go into your nightmares when you do psychedelics at home, as I said, your intention has to be very clear. My perfect dose for LSD is around 200ug but sometimes I do 400-500ug. And I noticed that only on those high doses, the deep unconscious trauma will come to surface. If she is ready to go there, then she should slowly up her dose. So if she did 100ug last trip, do 150ug next trip until it shows. Set and setting is key so as I already said, get the intention very clear and create an environment with as little distractions as possible. So just lay down in darkness accompanied by music.

Have you tried exercise? I sleep best when I worked out hard if it's an option for you, cannabis is amazing for sleep but also very addictive..

@Mu_ I already kind of knew that but still the video really hit home... thanks man ?

We need a book on psychedelics, please ?

we all just stardust? this is amazing leo you could blow joe rogans mind e: now my mind is blown lol

Classic always go straight into to the light if you see it

@Preety_India You could practice self-acceptance. What I mean by that is that when you read a comment that hurts you or affects you in any other negative way, you recognize the part in yourself which is hurt and you give it your unconditional love. Once you accept and love that part in you, it will disappear.

@OBEler very interesting! you have said before that your girlfriend has deep trauma and other problems, do this spirits help her heal and does it have significant impact in her daily life?

Turquiose

? How does she meet these spirit guides? Is she doing something particular to channel them or it just happens? Would be cool to have a spirit guide myself ?

One time I was in a trance like state while dancing on ketamine and the exact same question came to my mind. So I took my glasses off, everything got blurry and morphed into oneness ?
