Guides and Integration
It Takes a Village!
“Psychedelic Integration is a process in which the patient integrates the insights of their own experience into their own life.”
What is Psychedelic Integration?
Integration refers to the period of time after a psychedelic experience.
There are many different practices and techniques to integrate the experiences that evolved from a psychedelic journey.
Integration services can be guided by therapists, coaches, other practitioners or can even be self-guided.
Integration Resources
“We are not just highly evolved animals with biological computers embedded inside our skulls; we are also fields of consciousness without limits, transcending time, space, matter and linear causality.”
There’s a number of organizations that strive to make psychedelic use safe and effective. Whether you are wanting to integrate your psychedelic experiences privately or in a group, support is available.
When you integrate your psychedelic experiences, insights or perspectives from a journey, you are reflecting on what came to you during a psychedelic trip, making sense of the experiences that surfaced, and consciously applying these insights to benefit your life; either through personal growth, healing emotional wounds, becoming more self-aware, and changing behavioral patterns that you find no longer serve you.
Practices that help a person integrate their psychedelic experience(s) can include journaling, therapy, art, mindful movement, meditation, breathwork, and discussions with others that are integrating their psychedelic experiences in a meaningful way.
