Let’s Talk About Microdosing

As the pandemic unfolds, compromised mental health is affecting many of our communities. Uncertainty, collective fear and anxiety challenge even the fittest among us.

There’s an urgent need to develop new treatments and microdosing is becoming the new global movement that is currently growing exponentially.

Microdosing refers to ingesting a very small dose of a psychedelic substance such as Psilocybin using a specific protocol that is proposed by the expert researchers and pioneers of the Psychedelic Science.

Almost every civilisation in history used psychedelics for rites of passage which is an indicator of the deep connectedness we carry within, and these compounds are recognised and processed intelligently by our complex biochemistry.

Psychedelics work on serotonin receptors enhancing the adaptability, flexibility of our brain functions, stimulating higher quality of activity that increases plasticity and opens us to new perspectives, a shift in awareness that creates the possibility to change from our pathological beliefs and habits.

Psilocybin is the active ingredient in the magic mushrooms has now been approved by the FDA in many parts of the world as an alternative treatment in mental health and well-being and microdosing is the safe way to begin exploring the future medicine that can help reset mind-body-soul in ways that we cannot comprehend.

With microdosing you cannot trip or experience altered states, the affects are experienced profoundly on a metabolic level, subtle yet remarkably enhances awareness, enhances senses that allow access to the deeper parts of ourselves, activates intuition, increases mental clarity.

Brief look at the things to consider before embarking on a microdosing journey:

1. Check the status and legalities of the compounds in your country.
2. Screening the safety of the microdosing protocol, do your research as there are many articles and scientific papers available online.
3. Making sure the medicine is cultivated ethically with respect, do not take any substances from an unknown source.
4. Be honest about any existing health condition and take mature responsibility and caution in deciding to take the microdosing route.
5. Make sure to start your microdosing journey with an experienced facilitator in the field.
6. Honor the set and setting, have a clear intention and make sure you’re in a safe and familiar environment while on the medicine.
7. Do not mix with other substances and alcohol.
8. Acknowledging that this is a holistic medicine and can bring up repressed emotions and trauma, therefore, have a facilitator or a trusted person to hold space for you if it arises.
9. Prepare yourself mentally and make sure you have done prior self-work to increase your capacity and emotional resilience to deepen your connection with yourself.

Risk and disclaimer: Due to the early stages of the research, one must be responsible and mature in exploring, especially with the psychotic predisposition and neurological susceptibility.

The impact of microdosing is currently being explored at Imperial College London, the world’s first placebo-contolled study of the treatment and could be the start of a new era in pschedelics as potential medicines for the well being of people.
