A psychedelic journey can be a life-changing event that provides insights into the inner workings of consciousness and the human mind. However, these encounters need to be handled with caution, purpose, and the right leadership. It is crucial to pick the ideal psychedelic guide to guarantee a secure, encouraging, and beneficial adventure.

Over the years, considerable improvements in mental health treatment have given rise to a number of different therapeutic modalities. There has recently been an increase in interest in researching the possible advantages of psychedelic therapy as an addition to or substitute for conventional therapeutic techniques.

While standard therapeutic modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychoanalysis have long served as the foundation of mental health care, psychedelic therapy presents a distinctive viewpoint on recovery and change.

Psychedelic-assisted therapy is an emerging and dynamic field of mental health treatment that combines the use of psychedelic substances with traditional therapeutic practices to address a range of mental health conditions. This approach is not new however, it draws upon the profound understanding of psychedelics held by indigenous and ancient cultures, which has laid the foundation for the modern exploration of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

In the realm of MDMA-assisted therapy, pioneers and advocates illuminate our way. Driven by unwavering dedication and a shared vision of compassionate care, they navigate uncharted territories, bridging the gap between scientific inquiry and the mysteries of the human experience. Their tireless efforts bring us closer to a future where MDMA-assisted therapy is recognized as a cornerstone of healing, offering respite to those who have endured the indescribable weight of trauma.

Engaging in psychedelic-assisted therapy is an endeavour that can be compared to activities like scuba-diving or sky-diving, as it involves exploring the depths of your own consciousness. It is important to acknowledge that, similar to any profound experience, there are risks associated with this therapeutic approach.

In the realm of psychotherapy, the exploration of non-ordinary states of consciousness has gained interest, prompting research on the potential of psychedelic substances. Among these substances, 3-MMC, a synthetic cathinone drug, has recently emerged as a candidate for therapeutic use. This article delves into the therapeutic benefits of 3-MMC, shedding light on its mechanisms, safety profile, and potential as a tool for healing and growth.

With nowhere to stand, the immensity is evident. Seeing no end to its essence, one expands in all directions.

From one of Jaya’s forthcoming collections

Non-duality that does not include duality is not non-dual.

What is it to gaze out upon the invisible with emptiness in your eyes? 

Stillness and freedom, short musings by Jayaji

Non-dual action and meditation begins when we resolve dualistic attitudes of subject and object, of practice and person, of arising and falling away and integrating oneself not in the observation but in the experience itself. 

Many people seek meditation today for what it can do for them, for its effects and affects. While it may present a smorgasbord of benefits, seeking meditation for benefits sake is missing the point.

It takes a keen eye to discern the mirage in the desert. So too, it is not without its challenge to raise ones awareness to see through the veil of the illusory self. We all have an illusory self that we call I and me. It follows us like a shadow. We are stubbornly willing to fight for it and do everything in our will to justify it.

Mind is like the open sky, when you truly see there is only empty space. No end, no beginning; not high nor low; no length, no distance, no edge, no center. Therefore nothing truly to grasp which is why grasping for ephemeral things, objects and passing thoughts adds to the notion of unsatisfactoriness and an unskillful approach to being.

Natural mind is resting the mind. 

If mind is agitated, rest.

If resting the mind feels impossible, rest in the impossibility.

If it feels easy, rest with effortlessness.

After the mind goes searching for this why and that why, chasing thoughts and dreams, let it rest as it is.

If there is fear, relax into the fear. If there is anxiety, relax into anxiety. If there is joy, relax into joy. If there is peace, relax into peace.

If you experience doubt, difficulty or aversion in meditation then rest into the state of doubt, difficulty or aversion. There is no way around this great awareness.

Become absorbed into the vast nature of presence and then remain. Remain without aim. Remain without question. Allow concentration to settle into itself and become aware of its action as effortless.

All moments are born from one moment. Look closely, perceive this and see that a moment is also an eternity. Like this, enter this present moment as if entering into a room without walls. Sit down and contemplate that not only are all moments born of one moment but all moments are present in this moment.
