Microdosing experimentation - part II
Welcome or welcome back. We find ourselves today at day 18 of the 30 day micro-dosing protocol and I am happy to share with you how it is going. If you didn’t read my first blog, you can check it out below if you’re curious. I decided to do a 30 day micro-dosing protocol. I am micro-dosing truffles / psilocybin. This particular protocol is created by the company Earth Resonance, here in The Netherlands. They not only ship the organic truffles to your home, but they also provide you with a protocol. The protocol is designed to support you in monitoring and increasing your overall wellbeing during the 30 days. Basically, they work to enhance your experience with charts to monitor your progress, breathwork, and meditation suggestions. I’m using what one could call a bit of “chaos magic” for this protocol. I am mostly following the steps, but also using my intuition and some outside research to adjust. Instead of taking a dose every other day, I am taking a dose every 3rd day which seems to be the most researched way to do it. The one other “rule” of the protocol I did not stick with is cutting out caffeine. It calls for no drugs, alcohol, or caffeine. The first two I can do no problem, but I really love my morning cup of coffee and decided to forgo that restriction. After all, I wanted to see what difference it was making in my “normal” life. So what is micro-dosing? Micro-dosing is taking a low dose of a substance. The micro-dosing of psychedelics does not produce the same trippy or hallucinogenic experience that taking an actual substantial dose does. A quick google search on “the benefits of micro-dosing psilocybin” and you will find an array of both scientific research and personal accounts. I’m here to tell you my personal experience. My overall analysis/ theory / intuition is that micro dosing much like a trip, supports whatever you have going on in your life. However, it’s much more subtle and carries less risk of a “bad” experience. I think that whatever one is tending too, working on improving, setting intentions for the mushrooms are a nice support. I am also becoming increasingly aware of how important intention setting is in life in general - but more on that later.. I’m also speculating that they could support you in what you need, much like how CBD works at balancing whatever your mind needs ( info based off of a podcast I listened to I haven’t really tried cbd). Let’s start with my perceived benefits. Habits. For the past couple of months I’ve been working on my daily habits. Bringing in new habits that will increase my productivity, my health, my mood, and my overall well-being. Some of these habits include no phone one hour before bed and 1 hour after waking (It’s a bit cringe that I ever did it any other way, tbh), journaling in the morning, adding in meditation daily, to name a few of the newer ones. In the past 18 days I’ve not only stuck with these habits but also added in additional habits including daily reading, a Har prosperity meditation I do every morning, and I’ve started setting time aside daily to learn Dutch, again. EVERYDAY. The biggest part of all of this is I am really enjoying each of the habits and not just doing them to “be better” or “get better.” This goes back to my original post, I didn’t realize how distracted I truly was prior to this experiment. Meditation. I consider myself super woo, but meditation as not been my primary source of daily mindfulness. I prefer movement mindfulness like yoga, and walks by myself in nature. I now find meditation pretty easy to slip into and actually enjoy it. My health. My eczema has significantly improved since I started the protocol. Not only does it look and feel better, but I think and worry about it significantly less in my daily life. I am also on a mixture of Chinese herbs, so I’m sure it is the combination of the two. Nonetheless, this is huge, and a side effect I was not sure if I would actually get to experience. I am also sleeping better. Not AMAZING, but fine. The downside. Anxiety. I would say although my overallwellbeing is improved, my anxiety is increased. Even on the days where I am not taking a dose I feel a bit more anxious. The anxiety doesn’t last long, but it’s there. Earth Resonance actually offers an option for coaching for people embarking on this journey, and I think that having a support or coach going through this would ease my anxiety a bit. Overall, I would say it’s a quite positive and subtle experience. I’m excited to see where I’m at when I finish the 30 days. I will post another update at some point. Thanks so much for reading! blogpost by Jewel Mondros - blogpost
Saperne di piùMicrodosing experimentation - Part I
Hello! Many of you on instagram were curious (I would be) so I’ve decided I will document my experimentation with microdosing psilocybin here on the blog. I will start by saying I am currently in The Netherlands where truffles are legal and you can purchase them at a shop or online. I decided to purchase from an online company called “Earth Resonance,” I was drawn to their earthy wellness vibe and the amount of concrete information they provide. They also send you a 30 page ebook with meditations, breathwork, and ways to monitor your progress over the 30 days. I don’t take this sort of thing lightly so it was nice to have some guidelines and framework from a company focused of wellbeing and self development. As for why I wanted to do the 30 day micro dose experiment, I cannot give you a short answer. I experimented with psychedelics when I was a teenager, and although my experiences were almost always quite transformational it was still for recreational purposes. I have a lot of reverence for mind altering /expanding substances now, and to be quite frank a bit of fear, so, from more or less now until then it wasn’t something I was up for. I had been hearing a couple of people around me in different circles mentioning them, and then I had a dream where I was full on tripping. This is usually how something starts for me. I woke up one Saturday morning after some pretty wild and lovely dreams and something had changed. It was like I got a message while sleeping that this was the medicine I now needed. I asked my husband if he wanted to do some mushrooms with me (he said no.) looked up a shop I could buy them at, and walked to go pick them up. I was definitely nervous but the woman at the shop reassured me as long as I, 1. took them on an empty stomach 2. Didn’t drink or smoke on them 3. Was in either my apartment or nature 4. Went into it with openness and without fear I wouldn’t have a problem. I followed her instructions and I also set an intention. “I am open to receiving whatever I need from this.” It felt like 6 hours of intense healing for my body, mind and soul. It was really what I imagine meditating every day for an hour your whole life would do to the mind. I received some downloads, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t already know inside of me. It was a remembering. It also made me question why I was so fearful to begin with. What was I so scared of? Something that I’ve been personally healing is a stubborn bout of eczema and this is, I think, the ultimate reason for my decision to embark on this psychedelic journey. I’ve been in acupuncture with a wonderful healer the past two months and have gotten to a point in my treatment where my condition is pretty stable. I cannot tell you what causes my eczema exactly, but that it has come and gone in varying degrees since I was a very young child. I can tell you that when you have a condition like this, you do and try everything you possibly can to get to the root cause. Especially, once you learn that western medicine is more or less what a bandaid is to a bomb. I can write more about my current eczema protocol in a separate blog at some point. I know you may be thinking “how tf would mushrooms help eczema?” Well during my earlier experience I had this breakthrough where I understood my skin was not my enemy. It was simply protecting me from something that was disrupting the balance of my body. I also experienced no irritation or itchiness the whole 6 hours. If you don’t know eczema is linked to an immune disorder, which means my immune system sends signals for my skin to attack itself (it is basically asthma for the skin). I also got the message that there is no “good” or “bad” in terms of health, relieving my mind of the sharp emotion of fear that I was experiencing daily due to my eczema. Additionally, I had read some articles about how psilocybin can reduce inflammation. Anyways, after the trip and revelations I was curious. What was going on with my mind during that time? Is it really dangerous? How can I access that state more often? I began to research and things like “neuroplasticity” came up. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt to changes in an individual's environment by forming new neural connections over time. Neuroplasticity explains how the human brain is able to adapt, master new skills, store memories and information and even recover after a traumatic brain injury. Psychedelics and micro-dosing seem to increase the neuroplasticity of the brain making it easier to create better habits, get out of old patterned ways of thinking, AND increase healing time. I’ve had been doing a little bit of research on Joe Dispenza prior to all of this, and a lot of his theory deals with this concept of the minds ability to heal itself and the body in this way. So, ultimately, I think that maybe micro-dosing could be another tool in my toolbox. My precautions: Mentally, I am in a good place, but I do have anxious tendencies. I have a bit of fear that the microdosing could increase or aggravate my anxiety. Could it maybe make my eczema worse? I am very careful about what I ingest due to this constant concern. Since I am already in a pretty chill place mentally could I be opening myself up for problems? Some research points to the use of psychedelics to psychosis. With micro dosing this doesn’t seem to be so much of a concern BUT STILL ya girl’s still got anxiety (as I mentioned above.) My intentions: Make space for any healing to take place during these 30 days. I’m open to increase insights and focus. We talked a bit about neuroplasticity and I am wondering if there’s any thought patterns I may have that could exacerbate the eczema. I know that fear and stress are not causes of eczema but can make the symptoms worse or illicit an outbreak. I also know that fear and stress prolonged, overtime pump the body with hormones that can disrupt the bodies ability to heal itself. So I am open to seeing if maybe I can witness where this may be occurring and dissolve any of these habitual thought patterns if they are occurring. The Earth resonance protocol which I am more or less following calls for one day micro dose and the next day no dose- repeat. However, I’ve done a little outside research and most other protocols call for one day micro dose, two days no dose, which seemed a bit more appealing for me personally. One reason is because your body builds up a tolerance to the psyilosiban which is said to goe away after two days, not one. And the second reason is I would like to give my mind a bit more time to integrate the experience. So here we are at day 6. Up until today, I didn’t notice any notable effects. Maybe because this time I took the two days off my tolerance is lower. The first day I took .33 grams, the next day no dose, day 3 I took .54 grams, and then I took two more days off. So today the 6th day I took .58 grams one hour ago. The effects I’m currently experiencing feel a bit like the Ritalin or adderal I used to be prescribed in grade school. It feels good in one sense that I just went straight from the first day of my Haar prosperity practice right into a 20 minute pilates workout, and immediately followed by laundry, vacuuming, cleaning, REALLLY CLEANING, to writing this blog post. Perhaps, I forgot that maybe I am a bit distracted on a daily basis and this is not quite how easily I typically flow into each new “task” that I do. So I would say this is a positive effect. I dig it. A negative effect would be an increase in anxiety and also a lack of hunger. These are the same effects I felt on the Ritalin so many years ago. Although, the anxiety is quite uncomfortable it brings up themes of distrust which I’m happy to contemplate. I see that my mind starts to get “concerned” or straight up FEARFUL of this increase in bodily anxiety. The mind starts to go places, creating stories, but it feels important for me to question this, and then ask myself “Am I breathing?” and “Can I simply enjoy this increase in productivity without getting concerned?” The answer, well, that seems like what I should be nourishing right now. It pertains to trusting my own body. I think I will journal on this and perhaps share how I work though it at a later point. So this concludes my introduction to my microdosing experiment. I am happy for you to join me on this journey. Read here part II Blogpost by Jewel Mondros - blogpost
Saperne di piùI started microdosering using the "earth resonance" method.
My name is Roel, A 27 year old lover of Sports, acrobatics and active lifestyle. At a younger age I used to do a lot of spiritual practice such as meditation and my connection to nature was a main focus point in my life. Somehow I lost track of this during the last tree years. November 2020 i found myself suffering from a severe herniated disc in my lumbar spine. This completely interupted my life as i wasn't capable of doing anything at all. It was as if my life was standing still. I couldn't move, or do any physical activity. This totally shattered my outlook on my future as i feared this were going to change everything. At this point all the things i used to love doing where stripped away from me. After a couple of weeks i slowly started to move again and it seemed to me that i could be looking forward again. I had loads of free time as i quited all previous activity. That's where i discoverd microdosing. I regained interest in the healing potentials of various psychedelic substances as i had experienced this before in my late teens. I remembered previous experiences with high dosis of psilocybine wich completely changed my perspectives on life for the good. For the first time since years i felt like i had lost something along the way.. Something valuable. I started microdosering using the "earth resonance" method. During this period i really started to change my perspectives. For the first time i was able to really think about what actually happend with my injury. Why did this happen? I started to feel gratitude towards the point where i lost all my ability to maintain the way i was going about my life. For the first time i could see that despite the tremendous pain and the loss of the things i liked so much... I was able to see opportunity. This very realization brought me back to the love i once felt.... The appreciation for nature, meditation, spiritual practices, me and life itself. For the very first time i could accept that my body had put me to a hold as i wasn't going to myself. I started to meditate again and i regained my interest in the things i used to love so much. After a while i slowly started walking and moving again. My excitement for life grew back and for the first time i felt like this wass going to be ok in the long run. Until this very day i am getting better and better by the week. I even started doing acrobatics and training again. Microdosing helped me tremendously realizing the importance of my situation and accepting the consequences of my ignorance towards the purpose of my very own life. It helped me to be objective and work with the situation as it had presented itself instead of getting caught up by fear, sadness and misunderstanding. In the end it isn't the psilocybine of course, it's you doing the work.. Its you finally able to be honest towards yourself and the situation you're in. Not from fear, not from anger but from love, gratitude and understanding! Much love, Roel
Saperne di piùMicrodosing brought the happiness in my life back
My name is Jasper(40),I have ADHD and all the mess that comes with it. Actually from the age of 15 I was quite confused in certain areas in my life and therefor I smoked a lot of Marihuana, Ritalin and later on a lot of alcohol consumption to stop the noise in my head and body. Now, besides the above, I have been lucky to be very ambitious as well, so I was able to channel the indomitable energy in to my work. I am a cook and have my own theatrical catering company "de kok au vin.'' Besides my work I do a lot of sports: boxing, endurance running and acrobatics. This certainly gives a certain calmness. But also works as a kind of noise cancelling mechanism to my problems. The problem is that the cancellation sometimes blows off, often unexpectedly and almost always at the wrong moment.Now I've tried a lot in my search for peace and quietness in my head and body. Through a friend I came to microdosing. In the beginning quite skeptical, but after the first dose actually very surprised by the big effect it has on me.A kind of peace came into my head that I did not know about myself. The thoughts that normally always popped through my head like a kind of tornado, suddenly presented themselves calmly and clearly one by one. Unbelievable! The first time I was only able to persevere for a week because I could not really get used to it and was quite shocked by it. I never knew this existed and had the feeling that for a moment I wasn't myself anymore. After about a month I dared again to start using microdosing again.In the meantime I had stopped drinking alcohol and planned to keep it up for a year. Now we are 4 months further and I started again with a month of microdosing. Because of the corona measures I'm currently out of work. Normally a time where I would become a bit crazy and would definitely fall back into the old patterns.But now I'm enjoying myself. My family, the tranquility in my head and nature. I'm working on a plan which I've been facing for a long time because of a certain fear that I thought I wouldn't be able to do it. Bizarre how a little bit of microdosing can have such an enormous impact. Even if it were a placebo...Even then, I have grown in myself. Even the months that I don't take anything are going well. Sometimes still some restlessness but then I can return faster and more clearly to the peace then ever before. It is literally as if a new path has arisen and it is one that I love to walk. Have a sincere desire again for the next 40 years of my life. See you in the future! With great greetings Jasper Boomsma.
Saperne di piùZeker de moeite waard! Angst voor de toekomst verdwenen
Na al een aantal jaren veel interesse te hebben in microdosing, ging ik het dan eindelijk doen. Een paar maanden geleden had ik al een verpakking besteld, maar tegen de tijd dat ik er aan wilde beginnen, was de ‘best before-datum’ inmiddels verstreken. (Superstom, niet op gelet). Maar ik dacht het kan vast geen kwaad, aangezien het mooi vacuüm verpakt is. Eigenlijk wilde ik het puur uit interesse gaan proberen (niet omdat ik depressief ben, angstaanvallen heb of wat dan ook). Wel dacht ik dat het wel eens goed zou kunnen helpen tegen de stress die ik de laatste tijd ervaar door de hele situatie die momenteel gaande is in de wereld. Ik maak me veel zorgen om de toekomst. Vol goede moed begon ik met de laagste dosis Psilocybine op dag 1. Hiervan dacht ik een licht tintelend gevoel waar te nemen, een soort excitement. Spannend dus! Om de dag verhoogde ik de dosis, in de eerste paar dagen soms wat misselijk/katerig gevoel. Dus dat doseren was in het begin nog wel even puzzelen. Zeker ook omdat de houdbaarheidsdatum eigenlijk nét verstreken was, zat het idee in mijn hoofd dat het misschien iets in kracht zou zijn afgenomen, geen idee of dit echt zo is, maargoed ;) Na een week was ik eigenlijk al wel gewend aan het stofje en waren er geen katerige gevoelens meer. Top! Naarmate de dagen vorderden begon ik te merken dat ik me in vlagen erg kalm en vredig voelde, ondanks mijn zorgen over de toekomst. Het voelde allemaal okee en niets was meer echt erg. Het spirituele in mij is erg naar boven gekomen in deze periode, waardoor ik meer rust heb gevonden in mijzelf. Ik voel me van een rups een vlinder worden, en dat zorgt voor acceptatie en zelfliefde. Dat straal ik dan ook weer uit naar anderen :) Nu is mijn microdose maand voorbij en ben ik van plan om in het begin van het nieuwe jaar weer te beginnen met een nieuwe maand. Dit keer met een verse dosis die niet ‘over de datum’ is. Ben benieuwd of ik dan nog meer merk of andere ervaringen heb :) Kortom, erg tevreden! Zeker de moeite waard om te proberen of het werkt voor jou.Anouk,Dit was een reactie onder kwijt raken van trauma met microdosen die wij u niet konden onthouden!
Saperne di piùSinds mijn pubertijd heb ik al gevochten met depressies en angsten
Een vriendin van me vertelde dat ze bij Earth Resonance microdosing had besteld en of ik interesse had om het samen uit te proberen. Ik was verrast want zelf speelde ik al ruime tijd met de gedachte om te onderzoeken of het iets voor mij zou zijn. Ik had een aantal items gezien over de positieve uitwerking van psilocybine op onze geestelijke gezondheid in de afgelopen jaren. De afgelopen maanden zijn voor niemand makkelijk geweest en zeker als ondernemer in de kunst en cultuursector overviel me steeds meer een neerslachtig gevoel. Na de persconferentie in oktober waarin de horeca weer gesloten werd knapte er iets in mijn hoofd. Ik kon geen beeld meer maken van mijn toekomst, en dat gene waar ik altijd met zoveel passie aan werkte leek nu zinloos en maakte me verdrietig. Mijn lichaam en geest gaf aan gewoon helemaal op te zijn door de zorgen en eenzaamheid van de laatste maanden. Ik merkte dat ik sinds jaren weer in een zware depressie terecht was gekomen. Ik wist dat ik de spiraal moest doorbreken maar het was alsof mijn beeld vertroebeld was. Overgenomen door onzekerheid, gemis, teleurstelling en angst. Na 10 dagen heb ik een afspraak gemaakt bij de huisarts. Ik maakte me ernstig zorgen over mijn gezondheid. Ik kon over 2 maanden pas terecht bij de praktijkassistent. Die afspraak heb ik inmiddels af kunnen bellen. Die week ben ik samen met mijn vriendin die de situatie ook niet meer de baas was begonnen met microdosing. Het was een vrijdag en we hadden allebei vrij genomen. Het was mooi weer en we hadden afgesproken om samen te ontbijten met als toetje de eerste dosis. Ik weet dat ik gevoellig ben voor middelen en niet veel bodymassa heb dus ik begon met de laagste dosis van 0,3 gram. We luisterden wat muziek en praatte met elkaar waarna we besloten naar buiten te gaan om een stuk te gaan lopen. Ik merkte dat het zware gevoel langzaam plaats maakte voor zonnestralen. Het was een heerlijke dag, alles leek te kloppen en de zwarte deken die alles verstompte was verdwenen. Die avond sliep ik sinds tijden op een normale tijd. Eten smaakte weer en voor mezelf zorgen koste ging weer met gemak. De dagen daarna bleef ik het gevoel vasthouden en kon ik de spiraal van negativiteit doorbreken. Ik was soms nog wel emotioneel en ook moe, omdat ik meer rust had om te ontspannen, maar ik voelde me vooral ook dankbaar. Ik kon mijn frustraties weer omzetten naar creativiteit en realiseerde me des te meer dat mijn passie volgen de juiste weg is. Ik begreep de boodschap van de kunst die had gemaakt in de afgelopen jaren beter en realiseerde me dat de tegenslag mij wederom sterker had gemaakt en ook een zegen was geweest. Misschien had ik mezelf, de wereld en mijn werk niet zo goed leren kennen als het niet gebeurd was. Ik was extreem verrast door de effectiviteit. Sinds mijn pubertijd heb ik altijd gevochten met depressies en angsten. Ik heb verschillende medicatie gekregen in mijn jong volwassen leven maar ik had veel last van bijwerkingen en het voelde als een verdoving. Naarmate ik ouder werd heb ik beter gedachtes leren sturen en was meditatie altijd een tool om me weer mezelf te laten zijn. Deze keer kon ik er niet zelf tegenop boksen. Microdoseren heeft me echt het duwtje gegeven wat ik nodig had. Ik ben na twee weken gestopt. Ik merkte dat ik de dip uit was en dat het even genoeg was geweest voor nu om de zaken weer op te pakken. Ik wilde wat weken rust nemen om het te laten bezinken en daarna nog eens een kuur doen om echt bewust te werken aan het doorbreken van gedachtes en patronen die eigenlijk niet meer bij me passen. Dit was meer een noodstop. Ik ben er van overtuigd dat het aanpassen van paden in je hersenen door bewust te zijn van je gedachtes, het narratief dat je over jezelf hebt, en je innerlijke dialoog de oplossing is. Psilocybine brengt dit in een stroomversnelling omdat je de dingen anders kan bekijken, leert dat je altijd in connectie staat met anderen en de natuur, zet het ego opzij en het helpt om echt te gaan leven vanuit energie. Ik kijk er erg naar uit om verder af te rekenen met "the old self". De handschoen past allang niet meer. Ik wordt iedere dag dankbaar wakker dat ik van mijn droom mijn werk kan maken en dat ik een duidelijk en vurig doel heb. Dat ik wat belangrijks te zeggen heb en bijdraag aan een nieuwe wereld. Zolang ik bezig ben met te doen wat ik hoor te doen hoef ik geen zorgen te hebben want ik heb alles dat ik nodig heb. Ik denk dat het belangrijk is om bewust te zijn van de effecten op je gedachtes zodat je reflecteert en zelf het effect vergroot en aanstuurt. Ik hoop dat er meer kennis en onderzoek komt naar dit middel als medicijn tegen chronische depressie en angststoornissen. Ik denk dat het precies is wat de mensheid nodig heeft om weer terug bij zichzelf te komen in een snelle wereld waar chronische ziektes een groot probleem aan het worden zijn. Bedankt. Groetjes, Andrea Ps. Ik ben dyslectisch dus er kunnen flinke spelfouten in staan die me ontgaan. Excuses daarvoor. Neem vooral de vrijheid om het aan te passen als dat nodig is. Iedere week krijgen wij brieven ingezonden, we kiezen er 1 uit om hier te plaatsen. Jouw ervaring delen? Stuur dan jouw persoonlijk verhaal naar review@earthresonance.bio
Saperne di piùEen deel van de effecten is gebleven na een maand te microdosen
Via Facebook kwamen een aantal advertenties voorbij van Earth Resonance. Ik was onder de indruk van de boodschap en advertenties. Nadat mijn vragen via Messenger snel, helder en vooral leuk beantwoord waren besloot ik psilocybin te bestellen. Ik had al ervaring met halucinerende paddestoelen, maar geen ervaring met microdosing. Daarom besloot ik het schema van Earth Resonance aan te houden. Voor de eerste 2 of 3 microdosissen was ik aan het zoeken naar de juiste hoeveelheid. De eerste microdosis merkte ik niks en de tweede dosis op dag drie merkte ik tijdens mijn werk iets teveel. Ondanks dat ik op die dag mij mentaal niet scherp voelde bleek ik einde van de dag een ontzettend productieve werkdag gehad te hebben. Tijdens een overleg was het een beetje vervelend om het idee te hebben dat ik het gesprek niet altijd goed kon volgen. Ik kon er gelukkig ook om lachen. Einde van de eerste week had ik de juiste dosis gevonden en bouwde ik de hoeveelheid langzaam op. In de weken tijdens het microdosing werd ik meer en meer zorgeloos, ik had niet langer de constante stroom aan gedachtes en kon beter op mijn gevoel en intuïtie vertrouwen. Dingen voor de meeste mensen ingewikkeld zijn om over te praten had ik nu gemakkelijk een gesprek over. Op de meeste momenten in de microdosing maand had ik een gevoel van verliefdheid, alleen niet gericht op één persoon (zoals gebruikelijk is) maar op alles en iedereen om mij heen. Nu klinkt het alsof ik high, hallucinerend of stoned was, alleen dat was niet het geval. Ik merkte geen verandering in mijn reactievermogen, zintuigen of waarneming. Wel keek ik vanuit een nieuw perspectief op het leven. Dit perspectief ken ik vooral vanuit compassie meditaties, alleen verdwijnt het gevoel sneller dan met microdosing. De effecten waren ook op de dagen dat ik geen psilocybin innam duidelijk te merken. De kern van mijn intentie was om meer in actie te komen en verandering in mijn leven te brengen. Mijn leven is namelijk al een tijd lang ontzettend prettig en comfortabel, alleen voelde ik dat ik een nieuwe uitdaging nodig had op allerlei vlakken in mijn leven. Tijdens het microdosing heb ik hier een kleine start mee gemaakt, maar zodra de maand microdosing klaar was ging het als een speer. Ik heb allerlei zaken al ten goede verandert en er lijkt geen einde aan te komen. Ik weet niet of dit komt door het effect van de psilocybin of door bewust een langere periode een middel in te nemen en daarbij iedere keer bewust te zijn van de intentie die ik gezet had. Na de maand microdosing is een deel van de effecten gebleven. Ik heb minder zorgen, ben minder gehaast, meer proactief en over het algemeen ben ik meer tevreden over het leven. Het verliefdheid gevoel zakt wel iedere week iets verder weg en dat is jammer. De intenties die ik heb gezet zijn voor een groot deel hard onderweg om een nieuwe realiteit te worden. Nu, ongeveer 2 maanden later heb ik zin om weer te beginnen met microdosing. Alleen dit keer voor een iets langere periode. Ik ga proberen om 2x per week een microdosis dag te plannen. Eerst heb ik op Google gezocht naar andere aanbieders van psilocybin en dit bijna besteld. Alleen wordt het dan niet hersluitbaar verpakt. Ook wordt het niet biologisch gekweekt, iets wat ik heel belangrijk vind. En misschien wel het belangrijkste: Ik geloof dat Earth Resonance het beste met mij voor heeft en ik wil het bedrijf dat mij heeft geholpen om te starten met microdosing blijven helpen door psilocybin daar te bestellen. Een hele fijne dag gewenst en ter reminder: jullie doen top en belangrijk werk! Daniël
Saperne di piùMicrodosing for a month with Earth Resonance
You start with a relatively small dosage every other day, and increase it until you hit your sweet spot, which turned out to be 1.2 grams for me. This is all dependent on body weight, health, et cetera, but you can easily figure out what works best for you by slightly increasing your dose every other day. If you want to follow the Protocol the way it’s intended you’ll have to stop drinking coffee and alcohol, stop smoking, keep track of your daily progress and meditate every day. I did this for the first week until I realized it wasn’t doing much for me. The reason I started microdosing was for productivity, not for personal growth. After spending a week at my mom’s cabin without microdosing (I didn’t want to tell her), I decided I would finish the month but not do all the Protocol-stuff. It turned out to be a great decision. In the stressful months leading up to our flagship conference, I did a dose every time I had a busy day ahead of me. It noticeably improved my productivity, especially in the first half of the day. It’s hard to describe the effects of a microdose accurately without sounding like an ad. You know how sometimes you have a really productive day, for no discernible reason? Microdosing gives a similar feeling. Tasks get easier to tackle, you feel more creative, and distractions are easier to ignore. It’s important to note though that it’s a relatively minor effect — so I suggest you set you expectations accordingly — but it’s a powerful tool once you get used to it. The effect is subdued, you might even barely notice it, but the results I saw in my work were far from it.Article written by The Next Web See whole article: This Dutch startup sells microdosing kits to boost productivity - so I did magic truffles for a month
Saperne di piùHow microdosing works with my depression
I am currently 24 years old and had been suffering from severe depression since I was 21. After years of research and attempts to see professionals and psychologists, I found myself in the same personal situation over and over again. I suffered from severe rumination; having the same repetitive thoughts over and over again. I found myself consistently returning to the same places; I wound up at my parents home over and over and over again. It’s a terrible cycle, ending up in the same places, doing the same things and having the same conversations because you are having the same thought patterns. Fully aware of my own responsibility in keeping myself stuck, I still could not break out. The cognitive behavioral therapy I was undergoing wasn’t enough. I wound up thinking about my thoughts too much, analyzing every little thing I thought and did. It really only worsened the issue, and I felt like all I was doing was “thinking about thinking”. I had heard from friends in the Netherlands that they had wonderful psychedelic experiences with truffles and mushrooms, and began to look into psychedelic therapy. I was a little hesitant because I thought a truffle or mushroom experience required deep introspection and reflection and I felt like I was doing that all the time, anyways. Still, I did some research hoping anything might help. Originally living in Germany, research around psychedelic therapy was not much discussed and my options limited. I had difficulty accessing information and resources related to it, and considered even temporarily relocating to the UK to take part in a study with psilocybin. But, after moving to the Netherlands, a friend showed me Earth Resonance and, thereby, did me a favor I will forever be grateful for. I have been taking the natural psilocybin now for two weeks and already notice a difference. It is definitely not a “cure-all” and one should not expect it to be, however, it has made taking the first steps towards better mental health much easier. I feel like the world is beginning to open up again and feel larger. This is partly due to less rumination. After taking the psilocybin for two weeks now, I am already experiencing more moments in which I do not ruminate. I am learning to be more open towards new experiences, and I am able to perceive these in a clearer manner. I find myself with the necessary motivation to work on different tasks, that, before, seemed overwhelming and, worst of all, meaningless. Even just writing a review like his would have been too much for me two weeks ago, and today, I can even find enjoyment in it. Of course, nothing is a one-time fix for issues of the mind, but, the psilocybin has kick-started a process of betterment for me. This was all I had ever wanted; a little bit of a push to be able to carry myself for the rest of the way. It is important to put in the rest of the work oneself, and to use the clarity and energy that the psilocybin provides wisely. I am hopeful that I can break out of the mental paralysis I experienced. Obviously, it is a slow process and I have yet to see how the cycle develops, but I am hopeful. Thank you for making this possible. I am grateful I finally discovered this tool, but hope other people are able to discover it faster in the future, and for that, it needs to become more accessible.
