We all know how beneficial psychedelic experiences can be when we make the time for them. So why don\u2019t we do them more often? Well, we all have our own reasons, but quite often it falls down to very 3 simple things. Recently, asking the psychedelic twitter<\/a> crowd what their excuses were, I noticed these all too familiar things coming up. <\/span><\/p>\n Of course it\u2019s difficult because of drug laws. So this may take some initiative on your part. Some options:<\/span><\/p>\n It may also help to go to where psychonauts hang out to build connections and network. Public talks, workshops, integration circles, and conferences are all good places.<\/span><\/p>\n Having a private space is key. If you live in a flatshare<\/a> or other shared space this can be a big obstacle.<\/span><\/p>\n Some options:<\/span><\/p>\n Often the hardest one in our busy world.<\/span><\/p>\n A great quote I got from Psychedelic Experience<\/a> founder Tim Cools<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Just plan it, and don\u2019t cancel it\u2019.<\/p>\n It really is as simple as that. Simple, not easy. Having a coach might be helpful, or planning to do a session with a friend. Organising with friends may take a bit more planning and coordination, but can help to stick to it as there\u2019s social accountability. It\u2019s also obviously a great way to deepen your connection.<\/span><\/p>\n I recommend taking 3 days. Day 1 to tie up loose ends (e.g. no urgent messages or emails hanging, all work and social commitments taken care of, letting anyone who needs to know that you\u2019ll be offline). Day 2 to journey. Day 3 to integrate.<\/span><\/p>\n However, from my experience, a session squeezed in between work days is better than no session at all.<\/span><\/p>\n Set a date. Put it in the calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s It!<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We all know how beneficial psychedelic experiences can be when we make the time for them.
