From Drug to Natural Medicine
We will be highlighting some fewer known facts about the D-word: Drugs. Society seems to be wakening to the reality that this world has become largely consumed by drugs, or rather, consumed by consuming drugs. We are here to help place more awareness to the dangers of more general drug use and to encourage people to take a break from substances to make space for reflection and physical and mental detox. If you are abstaining from alcohol, nicotine or another substance, I invite you to use our micro dosing protocol to help you through the month. I understand it may seem contradictory to use a so-called “drug” in order to help abstain from another “drug”, but there are many misconceptions about drugs including psilocybin and I am here to clear up a few discrepancies for you. Yes! That means we are de-stigmatizing drugs- all of them- and especially the ones that have the potential to have positive impact, such as psilocybin. Remove Good/Bad language from your vocabulary when speaking on “psychoactive drugs” The first important lesson: there is nothing inherently good or bad about a drug, however, using a drug without conscious awareness or consideration for how it is impacting the neurophysiology of your brain, and subsequently the other organs and systems of your body, and life can be incredibly harmful. Even a drug as seemingly innocent as caffeine can have fatal side effects for people living with certain medical conditions. And the undeniable truth is that all psychoactive drugs will impact us in some way or another- it’s time we start normalizing this truth and speak openly about the consequences! What classifies something as a psychoactive drug? What is most important is that all drugs have one thing in common- they pass through the BBB in the brain. The BBB (aka Blood Brain Barrier) is a structural and functional barrier designed to protect the brain from destructive molecules such as viruses, fungi, parasites or bacteria that may be floating around the body. Drugs can cross over this barrier and thus impact the neurobiology of the brain. As the entire body is incredibly interconnected, this means that once the drug influences the brain it will subsequently begin effecting the other organs and systems of the body, or the other way around. The Brain is your body’s best friend and Vice-Versa It is so important to remember, the brain is never isolated!!! It is a vast, intelligent organism that communicates constantly between the other organs in the body. Just like going for a run and having physical exercise impacts the physiology of your actual brain cells, putting a drug into your body and altering your brain chemistry will always impact your body. This would explain why symptoms of body aches and muscle cramping exist in some people with alcohol addiction. The medical term for this is alcohol neuropathy which is when the nerves throughout the body become damaged from excessive alcohol intake. So, when you ingest a drug, try to not only think about its impact on the brain but also your heart, lungs, nervous system, kidneys, liver, etc etc. It’s a lot to think about and therefore it’s so important that we have a general understanding of the psychoactive substances most of us are ingesting on a daily basis. Duped by Dopamine There is one commonality between all addictive drugs which is that they all play a role on the dopamine reward system pathway. The exception that psilocybin has when compared to most other classified psychoactive drugs is that it does not play the same role in this system, thus this eliminates the element of having an addictive quality. This principle applies to many other psychedelic substances which is becoming more and more recognized through psychedelic research. This goes to say, you don’t have to worry about becoming addicted to psilocybin whether you are taking a macro or micro dose. Not all psychoactive drugs are created Equal! If I would begin listing the extensive list of psychoactive drugs on the market today you would surely lose my attention, if you haven’t already, so I’ll spare you the misery. The list includes substances that are grown as wild and natural plants, lab created substances and street drugs- which are often the most addictive and fatal ones available. Each psychoactive drug is so unique in its biochemical makeup that it is foolish to label them all into one category. In fact, this is somewhat recognized on an institutional level which is why they have been categorized into “schedules”. There are currently 5 distinct schedules and they are meant to be ranked according to levels of abuse potential, and whether there is a currently approved medical “need” or application for the substance. Unfortunately this list is biased by politics and there is much controversy as to the accuracy and relevance of the schedules as they exist today. When ingesting a substance, keep in mind the variables that contribute to the actual manufacturing of this drug. Is it nature grown, or lab grown? Has the substance been tested for pollutants and toxins? Is the drug pure or mixed with other potentially harmful molecules? These days the quality of natural/organic wine versus conventional wine can even make a remarkable difference when considering its overall impact on the body. Are you still with me? This information is dense but it is important to understand that there is a long history of the idea of a psychoactive “drug”, and the word itself is heavily weighted. Unlearning everything you know about drugs may take some time, but we’re here to help. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team and we will guide you toward resources to help you make more informed decisions in the future. Additionally, I hope this article will aim to destigmatize the word “drug” and provide a deeper understanding to what classifies a substance as a drug and at which point you can detect if you have an unhealthy relationship with a substance. Is psilocybin technically a drug? Psilocybin is a member of the psychedelic class of drugs. The word drug itself sounds a bit harsh and loaded. You may find it intimidating, off-putting and have several assumptions about this word with associations such as cocaine, heroin, and other “street drugs”. Allow me to fill you in on a little secret…. Many things we consume daily are considered drugs, albeit more socially accepted drugs, they are still drugs. This includes alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and yes, even sugar. So … by now you must be wondering.. How about psilocybin? Is it really a drug, and can it help me or does it have potential to harm me? Psilocybin is technically considering a drug under the class of hallucinogenic psychedelic drugs. It is a naturally occurring substance derived from specific types of mushrooms native to the Americas including Mexico, The United States, and South America. Psilocybin can be ingested either through the mushroom itself or it can be extracted and isolated through chemical processes. Psilocybin is a non-addictive substance meaning that it is not influencing the dopamine-driven reward system pathway. There is currently no research to support that Psilocybin has any negative effect on the organs of the body including the brain however, there are certain contraindications in which individuals should receive medical clearing before ingesting psilocybin. Those with heart disease Pregnant individuals Suffering with a severe drug addiction including symptoms of withdrawals Alcohol abuse In the middle of a life crisis Family history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder Taking drugs with MAO inhibitors including Marplan, Emsam, Parnate If you have any doubts whether you fall into one of these categories, please consult your physician. While psilocybin is a safe drug, everyone responds differently and therefor consideration and respect is a must. Please reach out to our team with any questions! If Psilocybin does not work primarily with dopamine, then how does it work? A brief explanation of the chemical mechanism of this drug is that it begins as the psilocybin molecule and later converts to the active ingredient psilocin. Psilocin activates many neurotransmitter receptors although it is best known for its affinity for serotonin receptors (aka 5-HT2A receptors). Serotonin is known for its role in regulating mood, cognition, reward and memory. It is interesting to note that most of our estimated 40 million brain cells are influenced by serotonin. Additionally, it’s important to note that although we have serotonin receptors in the brain, most of its supply is found in the digestive tract! (remember when I told you how interconnected our brain is to the rest of our body?!) What is powerful about psilocybin is that it has been found to have a positive impact in regulating the release and uptake of serotonin and does not leave the body in a state of withdrawal or dependence. The final important note to make about micro dosing psilocybin is that while a microdose does impart beyond the BBB, it is a subperceptual dose meaning that it is not high enough of a dose to alter the state of consciousness of the mind. When you think of drugs it is important to consider the dose and the body’s tolerance. Taking a subperceptual dose has very little potential to do any damage or disruption of any kind, and yet still has potential for benefiting the health and overall wellness of the mind and body! A truly miraculous drug if you ask me, in the right set and setting, for the right individual and in it’s right timing, this is a drug to rave about. In the Psychedelic and Scientific Community therefor Psilocybin is often referred to as Natural Medicine or plant medicine. Citations: Lee HM, Roth BL. Hallucinogen actions on human brain revealed.

Then and Now: The Sacred Origin of Magic Mushrooms and what that means for modern psilocybin use
Discovery of Psilocybin As we begin to integrate psilocybin mushrooms into modern culture, it is important to recognize the long and rich history of these fungi. It has been suggested by Terrance McKenna through his book, “Food of the Gods”, that the ingestion of magic mushrooms may have contributed to human evolution and the advancement of technology, language, and culture. The use of Psilocybin as Medicine dates back thousands of years and is typically discovered through the artwork and artifacts remaining from these cultures. These fungi were notoriously used by Aztec, Mayan and Toltec people in Central America, Native Americans in North America, Siberian Tribal societies in Ancient Siberia. The initiation rituals of the Eleusinian Mysteries celebrated the use of magic mushrooms in Ancient Greece, while in ancient Egypt psilocybin mushrooms were reserved for the upper class. Images of mushrooms found on the Bradshaw Rock Art suggest that native peoples of northern Australia ingested psilocybin mushrooms dating back to 10,000 BCE. While much of the ancient use of psychoactive mushrooms likely remains unknown, what we do know is that these fungi played an influential role in these ancient cultures. What we are seeing in the Psychedelic Movement of the Western world is that too often the stories of these cultures get ignored or even erased. We want to encourage you to learn about the stories and help keep them alive as you experience your Psilocybin journey. Traditional Cultural and Medicinal use of Psilocybin The native users of psychedelics have used Psilocybin Mushrooms to induce altered states of consciousness for religious, ceremonial and medicinal purposes. These plants were commonly reserved for Shamans to facilitate communication to their ancestors and to connect to the land. It is common in these cultures that only the healer will ingest the hallucinogens and use the mushroom to treat the illness. Cleansing the mind, body and spirit in preparation Psilocybin would be used only for very intentional settings such as an initiation rite or healing ceremony. Indigenous cultures practice strict guidelines such as avoiding intoxicants and stimulants including coffee, alcohol and nicotine. Diet is also carefully monitored with the elimination of sugar, salt, spices and even sexual activity. The ceremony would be practiced in nature- an extremely important component to honoring their connectedness to earth and to their ancestors. Ritual As shown by the ancestors of psychedelic medicine, a ritual can help create an intentional and conscious experience. Try to create a ritual surrounding your micro dosing regimen that you can implement even on your days off. This might include a journaling session, saying a mantra or a prayer out loud, spending time in nature or even a meditation to help connect to your higher self and allow space for the medicines to work their magic! Giving Back Find ways to give back! We recommend looking for a way to serve your community and the environment. A great place to start is to educate yourself on ways that you can be more mindful with your impact on the environment. Service can be emotional, physical or spiritual so there are ways to get creative! The greatest lesson to learn from the relationship indigenous cultures have with plant medicines may be the way in which they give back to the earth. These mushrooms are so powerful due to their rich history with the soil of this earth, they provide us with sacred wisdom of our ancestors and through that we can heal, learn and grow as individuals and as a collective. Looking to indigenous cultures and their relationships with psilocybin can help inform us to be both conscious and reverent in our own use of these medicines. It is important not only to be intentional about our interactions with Psilocybin but also to remember the communities who have preserved their sacredness.

Interview with CEO Earth Resonance Natasha de Jong
One of the possible benefits you mention on your website is spiritual awakening. Could you expand on that – what can psilocybin do to help people develop a spiritual connection? Psilocybin has shown to induce spiritual experiences and has been used in shamanic healing practices, initiation circles in ancient Greece to ascent and ceremonial rituals by the Aztecs already centuries ago to connect with the divine. How would we define spiritual awakening in the 21st century? The question is what are we waking up from? The illusion that we are separated from eachother and from nature, the illusion that we are competing against eachother and seeing merely with our eyes. This paradigm what we have been taught of random evolution of humanity or god’s force outside of ourselves, starts to become a path of curiosity, of discovery. This path to spiritual awakening is different for everyone, it is a journey. But often starts with the feeling of purpose, the feeling of being born with intent, that we are all connected to eachother, being of service for one another. We are pure conscious creations and have the god force within us. You will notice this connection when you go into nature and appreciate the beauty of how it grows, without us interfering, this force of energy is in us and is all around us, is flowing abundantly. Psilocybin helps to become aware of this and helps to connect you to this feeling. During your microdosing cycle we also recommend to start a meditation practice that calms the mind and fills the soul with the flowing abundance of source energy. A meditation exercise that can be helpful is connecting your energy to the dark void in space, where there is no time, no space and no ‘me’, you start to swiftly lose your identity, which is constructed by the ego. From this space you can create consciously. That opens the gates to spirituality, becoming one, in unity. One of the most deliberate ways to put it is ‘ I am that, I am’, all that is surrounding me. Amen. What about the possible benefits for professional life? Microdosing is famously popular among people in Silicon Valley – how can it help us at work? Do you often feel stuck at work, suffering from procrastination or unable to perform under pressure? Psilocybin has been shown to reduce the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex which is connected to the entire function of the brain, the CEO of the brain and is even responsible the identity of self. By this reduction of blood flow, other parts of the brain have to ability to connect in new ways, which creates new neural pathways. This helps to support neural plasticity, also called neurogenesis. This shows to support new ways of thinking, new insights and perspectives. Problem-solution becomes a less rigid way of thinking and helps you to enter a flow state of creative thinking, no worries about the future, but finding possibilities and opportunities. Especially it helps in the construction of new levels of self-awareness. How? Scientists are still finding out. But we believe that even small amounts can give you this simple benefit which is a harmonious state in the brain, that creates an open heart to create. What can be the possible negative effects of microdosing? I saw one review on your site mentioning some increased anxiety from one customer. Negative effects can occur when the expectations don’t meet the perceived experience. That is why the preparation is always very important. In our Ebook we have an intention setting exercise which helps our clients to write down which areas in their life needs focused attention and helps them to start with the right intentions, becoming aware of the blockages that might be there as well. Once you become aware of them, it becomes easy to resolve it with care and love. Also we educate our clients of the process. The first two weeks can be really tough and emotional. But when entering the third and fourth week, the recalibration phase begins, which is where the body and mind starts to become balanced. If our clients experience anxiety or a fear response this means that there is often unresolved trauma that’s trying to find it’s way out of the body, old coping mechanisms to protect you from pain and often is a fight, flight, freeze or fawn response. The microdosing cycle helps you to become aware of the pattern. This happens mostly when you become triggered by something someone said or even your own thoughts can cause this fear response. If you have experienced anxiety in your passed, we recommend to start the microdosing cycle with one of our coaches, specialized in trauma, plant medicine and behavior therapy. They can help heal and help you with the right toolbox to relieve these excessive emotions from your system. What kind of support do you give people who have that kind of negative reaction? Education, preparation, integration and evaluation, is what we are aiming for. That is why our customer care team is well trained to recommend and give tips and tricks when our clients experience a negative reaction. We do not often hear complaints, but when we do these complaints occur when the client was not prepared or did not follow our Protocol. We are currently working on our online platform, an e-learning community where it becomes much easier to follow our course and prepare for the cycle. What role do you hope that substances such as psilocybin can play in the future of society? We are currently developing different kind of protocols to help people overcome addiction, past trauma and mental health issues. Psilocybin and microdosing is not a quick fix, but it is a tool which can help in ways never seen before.

How to upgrade your brain with Psilocybin
The Upgrade Changing your life requires a new way of thinking, a new state of mind. This is not a quick fix, but a commitment which starts with acknowledging that your life is not going the way you want, stuck in the past or fearful for the future, you need redirection. How are we able to make a change and transform our lives? This starts with the way we think, the way we feel and the way we act as a consequence. Our brains develop in different stages. When we are a baby in the belly till our 7th year as a child we develop our subconscious mind, the area that makes you breathe, manage your body and emotions, your beliefs, your automatic responses (fight and flight), your habits your heartrate and the ability to listen to your feelings. This represents 95% of our brain activity and is running our programmed way of thinking. How does this develop? A child is born with a standard set of instinctual behavior, but in the age of 0-8 the child is in a state of constant hypnosis (vibrational frequency: theta brain waves), a state of imagination and develops a library of identifications and associations. This is programmed by our parents, culture, people, environment. These identifications and associations lead is linked to emotions and become a downloaded program which runs automatically. This is how the subconscious mind is formed and becomes an automatic program. Why is this important? The conscious mind which only represents 5% of our brain activity and is where you reason, make decisions and where your willpower is stored. The subconscious mind gives the direction, is always in a state of awareness, love and wants to memorize every event, the conscious mind follows and is not able to access the subconscious directly. This is how our reality is being shaped. By changing our subconscious beliefs we are able to change our reality. This is not as easy as we think, why? The older we get the more we run our automatic program which is saved on our subconscious brain, which is developed when we are 0-4, finished with saving till we are 7, fired and wired when we are 26 and completed when we are 36. After we turn 36 it becomes more difficult to create a chance, create new habits or break limited beliefs. Although we are completely programmed as a consequence of our environment and the way we process information, the brain has the ability to adapt and evolve. This is called neuroplasticity. The brain is very flexible as long as you train it with new information. But if we do not think new thoughts every day we stay stuck in our neural pathway. We have appr. 86.000 thoughts every day, which we replicate the next day. 98% chance of thinking the same things over and over again everyday. Which means there is 2% left for a new program, for a new way thinking, which will lead to a new set of emotions and actions. With that in mind, we have to hack the system for a quicker upgrade, because it takes a long time if we are only changing 2% every day. This is not as simple as just thinking a new thought, it is how it is installed. Positive thinking is not enough, it's about a new state of being. This does not happen in our conscious brain but happens in our subconscious brain. Recalling and repeating information keeps this information also installed and becomes a memory, this happens even quicker when there is a specific emotion involved. That is how you create a very sharp memory about something, someone or a specific event. The way we memorized does not go back to the event itself. How the brain is saving this memory is by repeating the memory the first, second, third, fourth time you remember it. We are not reliving the memory, but we are recalling the memory the last time we remembered it. So every time we go over a specific memory we are installing it deeper and deeper. If trauma is released, this means that the recalling of the memory is not bringing back the same emotion, but is reinstalled with a new emotional blueprint. Now how do we do that? By accessing our subconscious brain, installing a new way of thinking and creating an emotion that is giving you the feeling of love, joy or gratitude. Why? This is how you make a new memory, teaching the brain that the love of the feeling is attached to the words or image you are visualizing. This is how we can make new associations, identifications and upgrade the system. With microdosing psilocybin we are able to access a new state of the brain, which then are able to create new neural pathways. Thinking new thoughts becomes much quicker. There is more space. It opens your brain and in this way you can create change, change the way you think, creates changes in the way you feel much quicker. How to create change throughout the day: How to access your subconscious brain? Only when we are in a relaxed state. In between the subconscious and conscious is the analytical brain, our filter which protects us. This is where the input filters what goes into the subconscious and what not. If we bypass the analytical brain, we are able to access the subconscious brain directly and can become aware of our program of limited beliefs and blockages which we unconsciously run, which protects us, but can also sabotage us. That is why sometimes some situations in your life keep occurring over and over again. This happens during your microdosing cycle very easily. The gateway to your subconscious brain happens the first thing in the morning 15 minutes after you wake up and right before you fall asleep. This is the window of change. Start asking ‘auto inquisition questions’, or ‘lofty questions’, empowering questions. Become aware of how often you use the word ‘not’ or ‘don’t’ and try to avoid it, this does not exist in the language of the subconscious. Try to smile without a specific reason, this signals to the brain that it is happy and turns it into a relaxed state automatically during the day. Relaxing the body is where your new creation begins with. When our body is in a state of stress, the field of energyaround your body is constrained, we are in a high beta brainwave state, we are in a state of survival. In this way we only think about one thing: ME. Chemically this is called (nor) adrenaline and in biology it’s called ‘fight or flight mechanism’ in neuroscience it is called ‘high beta brainwaves’. This is what most people experience when they drink their first cup of coffee in the morning. What is important to know is that in a state of survival we react based on stress, external reflections will be perceived as a threat. Everyone around you can be a potential enemy and the ‘I’ needs to survive. This drives us into a behavior of egocentrism, greed and low levels of awareness, purpose and perception of constant desire, never feeling satisfied. This creates a loop of continuous chasing, whether this is money, sex, food or even feelings of low self-esteem and negativity, victimizing your life or blaming others from your pain. This can become an addiction and the brain is constantly looking for the same feedback. That is why in this state – high beta brainwaves - we can never create change. So the first step is relaxing the brain and the body, accessing a wave, a frequency called coherence between the brain and the heart. If these signal the same waves, they can create a rapid change in your energy field, sensing, experiencing and feeling a more coherent atmosphere around you, not feeling scared, depressed or mood related instability. Thank your body, put your hand on your heart and breath in, now when breathing out feel the release of tension In the body and release all thought. Most of the time, you will smile after doing this. This only takes 20 seconds of your time and sets you up for a total different way of response. The brain cannot make a distinction of what happened in the past or what you are visualizing. This is how you can trick your brain into thinking somethinghas already happened. By practicing mental visioning or meditation you are able to create new neural pathways which help you to create exactly what you would like to experience. Belief is one of the most powerful functions of the brain. If there is no thought standing in the way of you and your faith, you are already there. That is why believing in yourself is the first step of aligning to your intention. If you notice there are some thoughts that pop up which do not serve your manifestation, write them down and feel what could have created this specific thought, what can happen and release it with an emotion of love. Learning how to communicate with our subconscious brain is key into creating a new life. The Reticular Activation System, a bundle of nerves in the brainstem helps us to filter information and helps us focus. The RAS is the system which helps you to find reflections in your reality.RAS connects the subconscious part of our brain with the conscious part of our brain. It is all about the way we communicate. If we consciously look for things in our reality, RAS filters and seeks information in your environment and will consciously give you the same reflection of your belief. That is why belief is so important, words like I hope this.. or I will.. and I don’t like.. are not the language of RAS or your subconscious. It leaves room for doubt and the RAS is not able to reflect back what you are looking for. Searching for things in our reality, like ‘I have the. ‘ ‘I am’ and ‘I thank…’ feeling that you are already experiencing it. This takes away the doubt and it activates the RAS. It helps you to start filtering out those pieces that can help you with that intention and so the conscious mind brings that into your subconscious mind. But even better is to turn this around. Start to implement a new way thinking by accessing the subconscious brain directly, right thing in the morning or before you fall asleep. Your next day will be filled with exactly that what you feed it. Resonate with love and make your day amazing! Microdose and upgrade your brain
