Default Mode Network
We've talked before about the Default Mode Network (DMN) and how psychedelics make this network of brain areas less active. The decreased activity of the DMN is associated with an altered state of consciousness, flow, ego loss, enlightenment, healing, spirituality and connection with the divine. Although psychedelics such as LSD (or chemically related), psilocybin (mushrooms), Peyote (cactus) and DMT (ayahuasca) have probably played a major role in the creative processes of all religious movements, the great inventors and scientists, it is not necessary to use psychedelics to get into the “flow” state.

Everyone has their own 'tricks' to get into the 'flow' state. You can think of dancing, music, skydiving, racing, puzzling or anything else that gets your full attention. Watch the following video for more information:
Psychedelics as a tool
Psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD and DMT are the strongest means to put the DMN on the back burner and we use this as a 'reset'. We see psychedelics as a tool and not as the solution. The solution lies in the changes you can make after such a reset. We therefore encourage you to take other routes when it comes to changes in consciousness. The more we do correctly, the stronger the effect of the psychedelic session. The goal of trip therapy is to achieve so many changes with a single or sometimes a second psychedelic session that the use of psychedelics is no longer necessary.
Alternatives to psychedelic sessions
Although psychedelics have the strongest impact, there are other treatment methods that use the same mechanism as psychedelics. Actually, all these methods correspond to the dream state and therefore it often resembles dreaming/sleeping, just like with psychedelics.

Combining healthy things
Whether you do a psychedelic session or follow another type of therapy to think less negatively, always combine it with healthy choices in terms of body and mind. Get a healthy diet, exercise, and sleep. Supplement these basic elements of health with activities that require your full attention. Choose those activities that are the healthiest.
