Mushrooms and magic truffles contain psilocybin and psilocin
Magic mushrooms, truffles, psilohuasca, and psiloflora all contain psilocybin, which falls into the category of mind-altering and hallucinogenic substances. Magic mushrooms and truffles contain the same active ingredients. The effects vary and depend, among other things, on your personal sensitivity, personality, mood, the substance, and the dose. The active ingredients psilocin and psilocybin are very similar to the body's own serotonin (the neurotransmitter). Our body converts psilocybin into psilocin. Psilocin can then mimic serotonin on the serotonin receptor, called the 5HT2a receptor. The increased stimulation of these receptors produces the effects of magic mushrooms.
Less serotonin
A deficiency of serotonin can cause depression, anxiety, restlessness, cravings for sweets (which further lowers serotonin levels), and other ailments. All of this creates a negative spiral that makes you susceptible to unhealthy addictions, and it's nearly impossible to escape this downward spiral unless you make drastic changes.

Temporarily high levels of serotonin, psilocin and psilocybin
By taking a trip with magic mushrooms or truffles, you temporarily increase the stimulation of your serotonin receptors under supervision, allowing the negative feelings of serotonin deficiency to fade into the background. The degree to which we increase this stimulation therefore influences your mood and experience. The intensity of this experience is divided into tripe levels.

We use truffle tea or psiloflora tea in which we combine the best and strongest psilocybin Using truffles containing truffles in combination with herbs, minerals, and vitamins. Below is an overview of the trip levels and effects that can be expected with the following services.

| Low dose | 1-2 | 2-3 | Beginner |
| Medium dose | 3-4 | 3-5 | Beginner |
| High dose | 4-5 | 4-6 | Some experience |
| Heroic dose | 5 | 5-8 | More experienced |

| Extended Psiloflora** | 4-5 | 8-10 | Some experience |
* Psiloflora is a mix of magic truffles and passion flower (mild MAOI)
** The Extended Psiloflora ceremony is an extended ceremony with 5 additional natural remedies that make the trip deeper and longer
Trip level 1 (Low dose)
During trip level 1, the negative feelings of serotonin depression disappear. Because the communication between the brain hemispheres changes, music sounds deeper, colors become brighter, and the environment becomes more tangible. Your senses are open. During this phase, you are more open and socially engaged, and you begin to be open and honest with others and yourself.
Trip level 2 (Low dose)
A more vivid perception of colors, visuals such as the movement and "breathing" of objects, walls, etc. With closed eyes, two-dimensional patterns can be perceived. Due to changes in short-term memory, the user experiences continuous distracting thought patterns, alternating with extreme focus. The brain's natural filter is bypassed, which, among other things, increases creativity. During this phase, one can already begin to discover interconnections. Interconnections, for example, about why certain things happen and how to cope with them.
Trip level 3 (Medium dose)
Very clearly perceptible visuals; everything seems warped or distorted. Patterns can be seen on walls, objects, faces, etc. Mild hallucinations can occur, such as the effect of flowing rivers in wood grain or other textures. Some sensory confusion, such as seeing sound as color, etc. Time distorts, making everything seem to take place in the "now." From this level onward, it is already quite possible to connect with the subconscious mind, while still being very easily controlled. Fears that cause stress can reside in the subconscious without conscious awareness. This level is useful for combating these fears from the subconscious. Fears often originate from the past and/or the future. These fears are not real in the present, and acceptance is possible during this triple level.
Trip level 4 (High dose)
Strong hallucinations, such as objects morphing into other objects. Perception of the ego fades; for example, objects may start talking to you, or you may experience contradictory feelings simultaneously. Some loss of reality occurs; time becomes an incomprehensible concept. Possible out-of-body experiences (OOBs). Mixing of stimuli from different senses. Due to the loss of the ego and the resulting loss of self-protection, people are harsh but honest with themselves during this phase. Problems can be addressed and given a place. The connection with the subconscious is very strong at this triple level, allowing for a great deal to be learned about who someone is, even though it seems as if it is someone else due to the loss of the ego.
Trip level 5 (High dose)
A complete loss of visual connection with reality occurs; the senses no longer function as "normal." A complete loss of ego. Users feel themselves merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so profound that it's difficult to explain or articulate. This level differs from the other levels because the actual universe in which things exist ceases to exist. During this phase, the ego can no longer control anything. The connection with the subconscious is now maximal. There's nothing to hide. It's like a dream, uncontrollable by yourself. This phase can offer insights in ways that are initially incomprehensible. Level 5 trippers often call their experiences mystical, the most beautiful experience of their lives, or even frightening. Control freaks, in particular, find it frightening at first. It's unwise to jump straight into Level 5 without prior experience with psychedelics.
Heroic dose
A heroic dose of psychedelics produces a prolonged stay in a Level 5 trip that lasts not minutes but potentially an hour or longer. Some compare the dissolution of the ego (ego death) for an extended period to a near-death experience and rebirth. Others compare it to a prolonged DMT trip. One thing is certain: the connection with regular reality completely disappears during the peak of the trip. During the coming down from a heroic dose, people often speak of great gratitude and a love for life.

End of trip
No matter how deep your trip went, you always slowly return through the lower trip levels. A level 5 trip always passes through levels 4, 3, 2, and 1, after which you gently land back in reality. You will retain all your knowledge, ideas, and insights. Other things that initially seemed incomprehensible can suddenly sink in, even weeks after the trip. Most people who experience such a trip will permanently maintain a more open nature and feel more connected to their environment and the people they live with. Physical improvement will also occur. The increased stimulation of the 5HT2a receptor promotes neurogenesis. This means that the brain and nerve cells can recover and even create new ones, resulting in a better-connected brain (mind-expanding).
Possibilities of trip therapy
The biggest advantage of a trip therapy session is that through introspection (looking inside yourself), we can guide you to change your self-image. Many addictions, fears, stress, depression, and other personal problems arise from a (negative) distorted self-image, unrealistic thoughts, or subconscious stress caused by fears in the subconscious. You should treat yourself to the best through nutrition, thought, and exercise, and we work on this before, during, and after a trip. You deserve to be the best version of yourself.
More than just tripping
Because we believe that trip therapy can put you on the right path, but that it's only the beginning of a positive spiral, we regularly create blogs and news items to help achieve lasting results. This is something we want to give and share, so we can create a "better world" with more happiness.
