\u201cThe longer I have worked with psychedelics, the more convinced I have become that a daily meditation practice is vital to harnessing the waves of energy and insight that sweep through us on a session day.<\/h3>\n

\u201cMy sessions have deepened my meditation practice and my meditation practice has helped ground my psychedelic practice. In my experience, these are complementary and mutually reinforcing undertakings that can be integrated well.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u2014 Christopher M. Bache, Ph.D. Author of LSD & the Mind of the Universe<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt is quite obvious that skills in meditation, the practice of being at peace within one\u2019s body and mind, even in uncomfortable places, can be of great help in the course of a psychedelic session.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u2014 Vanja Palmers, Zen Priest, Psychedelics & Meditation<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

“The ability to, I think, objectify one’s experience, to see it as something which is just there and very natural, that is a powerful skill, and its a skill that can be developed through meditation, which is why I think actually that a nice long course of meditation is the perfect pre-requisite for psychedelics, because I think that people who have done that will have fewer problems dealing with psychedelic experiences.”<\/h3>\n

\u2014 Craig, participant on a John Hopkins study on the effects of psilocybin on long-term meditators<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe foundation laid by any previous inner work will hold us in good stead at such times by virtue of the attention skills we have developed. These skills make it easier to remain focused when confronted with the unexpected…<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe regain our balance through the proper application of attention and awareness. This is the slowing down, which we can facilitate physically through relaxed, deep breathing and helps release any tension in our bodies. Once we\u2019ve slowed ourselves down and replanted our psychic feet, it is easier to move our consciousness through the resistance or block.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u2014 Rick Strassman, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule and lead researcher on the DMT studies at the University of New Mexico<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTraining in meditation is an excellent preparation for confronting the expanded states of consciousness which entheogens generate and, conversely, the intensity and forthrightness of these expanded states can provide a great impetus to apply the achievements attained during meditation in an emphatic way\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u2014 Dokusho Villalba, The Spiritual Potential Of Entheogens – Dissolving The Roots Of Suffering – Zig Zag Zen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
