A psychedelic journey is a conversation that you are having with the medicine. This conversation happens long before the experience starts & long after it ends. When you consume these medicines, you are bonding with a spirit. This is not like taking a pharmaceutical pill. This is a relationship with a spirit that has knowledge to share with you.

Microdosing is not a linear process. It's something that you may move towards & also move away from many times throughout your life. It's not like pharmaceuticals that need to be taken at the same exact time, every single day. It is only something that is consumed a few times per week, at most, 5 days in a row. It's important to listen to your intuition when you are doing this type of work. I will both go through a several month period where I do feel called & I will also go through several month where I do not. I just listen to it & I allow the medicine to guide me. A calling to work with a specific medicine whether it be mushrooms or some other type of psychedelic, feels like a craving for it. It's not the kind of craving that you get when you are addicted to a substance, it will ebb & flow over time. You will just feel this slight energetic pull towards it. When you are feeling the urge to use the medicine, that is the medicine communicating with you. It communicates with you, even if you are not under its influence. It is alive & conscious & just like herbal medicine, when you feel drawn to a certain herbal medicine, this means that the spirit of that medicine is talking to you. Just like we have spirit animals that we are drawn to for unknown reason, at least until we begin working with it & researching it, we also have spirit plants. If you are feeling an intense urge to work with a specific type of medicine whether it is a psychedelic or an herbal medicine, this most likely means that, that medicine is one of your spirit plants. Listen to the urges & tap into them. Plant medicines don’t speak with words, they speak with telepathy. Which is something that every human being is capable of, but we are taught at an early age that it's not real & we learn to not follow our intuition so our ability to communicate this way dulls down. The more that you tap into the intuitive telepathic communication, the stronger it gets. When you feel it calling you, it means that it has messages for you. You may even, all of a sudden, feel an urge to take a break. Over an extended period of time of microdosing, you will form a very deep connection with this medicine & eventually you won't even need it in your body. You will be able to communicate with it naturally & reach the same vibration that the medicine puts you in while in a completely sober state. When it guides you to stop, that is also the medicine communicating with you & letting you know that it's time to integrate what it has taught you & to see how well you are able to reach that same state of mind on your own.

The best way to ease your way back into the psychedelic experience is to start incredibly low. Start with the lowest possible amount which would be a microdose. Microdosing is completely different than a ceremonial dose. It's when you take a sub-perception amount of the medicine & it's not going to put you into this space where you feel out of control. I recommend that anybody first getting into psychedelics start with microdosing to see how they respond to it first. If you are unprepared & especially if you struggle with mental health issues & have been through trauma, sometimes bigger doses can make things much worse. The bigger dosed experiences really need to be handled with the utmost care & reference. They need to be prepared for properly. The bigger doses can absolutely change your life if they are done correctly, in the right settings, around the right people, at the right dosage & with the right intentions. If none of these things are taken into consideration & you just randomly take it, you never really know what you're going to get. Everybody responds to psychedelics & the dosage totally differently. Some people are really sensitive & some people have a naturally higher tolerance. Always start with a low dosage & then work your way up as you deepen your relationship with the medicine.

Do you remember the moment when you first heard about psychedelic medicine & you felt a strong interest & pull towards it? This was the medicine communicating with you. It feels a resonance with your soul as you do with it & it knows much deeper than you can comprehend the capacity to which you both will help one another expand. This medicine isn't just helping you. You are helping it learn more so that it can expand as a being as well. This is a relationship and it begins sometimes years before an experience begins. When you first hear about it & something inside you is calling for you to experience it, this is when the conversation between you & the medicine truly begins because you are tuned into the frequency of that medicine. This communication will continue the more that you work with it, but at a much deeper level once you have actually sat with the medicine in ceremony.
