Greatest Hits Vol. 7 - Psychedelics and Spiritual Practice
Episode description
This week, I’m revisiting one of my favorite topics: Psychedelics & Spiritual Practice. I’ve used psychedelics in clinical settings and have found them to have a unique place in the treatment of mental health disorders. But I’m personally very interested in their use for spiritual purposes. Especially because, in my own clinical experience, many mental health issues have a strong root in spiritual and existential challenges.
When we really look at the intention for spiritual practice or use of psychedelics, Buddhism and psychedelics share something in common: finding that which frees the mind. And there are endless studies that prove that this may just be possible!
Listen to the full episode to learn how psychedelics can be used to benefit spiritual practice without relying on them for an escape or a temporary high. Plus learn the key to locking in those positive effects long-term.
