If you\u2019ve been finding it difficult to relax and open up in your psilocybin journeys, then you might consider combining it with MDMA.<\/span><\/p>\n MDMA can help bring about a more relaxed, open-hearted space, which is an ideal state, or set, to enter a psilocybin journey.<\/span><\/p>\n There are a few members inside our The Conscious Psychedelic Explorer<\/a> community who have tried this combination and it has been giving pretty good results, so I thought I\u2019d write about it as part of MDMA month on the blog.<\/span><\/p>\n In this blog post, I’ll cover the potential benefits of this combination and offer suggestions on dosages and timings, as well as share some experience from members of the community and myself.<\/span><\/p>\n I first heard about this combination given serious credence in the book <\/span>Psychedelic Psychotherapy<\/span><\/i> by Coleman. An excellent read, which I highly recommend btw.<\/span><\/p>\n Coleman mentions that leading with a dose of MDMA before a psilocybin journey can help \u2018soften the entrance\u2019. The general positive atmosphere and reduced fear response that MDMA provides can set the perfect stage for entering a psilocybin experience, where darker material may arise from deep in our psyches. This allows us to be more open to such experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n As such, this combination can be helpful for working through traumatic material or engaging in shadow work.<\/span><\/p>\n Combining MDMA and psilocybin is generally well-tolerated and if you\u2019re not contraindicated for either, the combo is as safe as taking each substance individually. If you’re clear to take both and in general good health, the main thing is to be psychologically prepared as these can be intense and challenging experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s advisable to try and sample batches of each substance before embarking on a significant journey. Potency can vary between batches. As always, remember to prepare your setting carefully and cautiously.<\/span><\/p>\n As usual, follow standard best practices for MDMA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
