Classic psychedelics

Classic psychedelics often refer to natural mind-altering substances. What all these drugs do to achieve their mind-expanding effect is actually always the same in a roundabout way, namely increasing the stimulation of the serotonin receptors. The stimulation of the 5-HT2a receptor in particular provides the mind-expanding effect by altering the conduction of stimuli in the brain. In particular, several areas in the brain, which usually do not communicate directly with each other, then start to communicate. For example, at higher doses the areas that usually process subconscious tasks start communicating with your conscious brain, the frontal lobe. This can provide relief from psychological complaints.

Natural psychedelics

A lot of people, especially those who know nothing about psychedelics, consider psychedelics such as mushrooms worthy of the negative word “drugs”. However, they do not know that alcohol is a much worse drug than mushrooms and therefore often drink a glass of wine too much.

Another argument for the fact that you should not call psychedelics drugs is that everyone hallucinates every night because the body initiates the same process during sleep as psychedelics do while awake. Dreams are the result of increased activity of the serotonin receptors, especially the 5-HT2a receptor. So everyone uses the body's own “drugs” during sleep. You can also use techniques while awake that resemble the effect of dreams and psychedelics. Meditation, hypnotherapy, breathing therapy and EMDR are examples. During these techniques it seems to the body as if you are going to sleep and dream, which causes the body to produce psychedelics (DMT and serotonin). The advantage of psychedelics, however, is that you can dose better, dose higher (up to 1000 times higher) and that the effect is longer lasting.

DMT and serotonin

DMT and serotonin are our body's own psychedelics. The mind-altering effects occur when the concentration of these substances is increased. Low concentrations actually cause cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, insomnia and other psychological complaints. The structure of the molecules of DMT and serotonin are similar, so they fit on the same receptors.

Serotonin psilocin DMT -Why psychedelics and tripping can be medicine

Psilocin from mushrooms and truffles

Our body converts psilocybin from magic mushrooms into psilocin. Psilocin can stimulate the 5HT receptors just like our body's own serotonin and DMT. This mainly concerns the 5-HT2a receptor and to a lesser extent the 5-HT2c and 5-HT1a receptors. This also causes the human brain to go into a kind of “sleep mode”. The connection between the subconscious brain and conscious brain is established and the higher the dosage, the more connection is created. This can lead to hallucinations, dreams while awake. An additional advantage is that in a dream state one has no needs. There is no need for food, no need to achieve personal goals and a state of contentment arises.

State of satisfaction

From a state of satisfaction one can often be honest about what is really important. We can be real about perfection and imperfections. Uncertainty and certainty are something you can control yourself. Another additional advantage is that the subconscious brain with all its fixed patterns is open to insights and changes. This in combination with neurogenesis, which creates new permanent brain connections, can really change people positively. All this is possible with the power of something akin to deep sleep.

We need to look beyond the old stigma

Everyone should embrace the mushrooms and magic truffles as a gift from nature. So far, many people have benefited greatly from mushroom treatment. All studies done on psilocybin are completed with a success rate higher than anything any pharmaceutical company comes up with. From our own experience we can say that the success rate of research could be even higher if love for the body is also included in a process.

What we can offer

Do you also want to grow in life? Our services include more than just organizing a mushroom ceremony. We always take the objectives of our customers into account. We have protocols that we adapt to the customer's wishes. We have protocols for various problems such as:

  • Depression
  • Burnout
  • Fears (social, etc.)
  • Addictions (alcohol, coke, etc.)
  • Negative self-image (BDD, anorexia, ect.)

Before the truffle ceremony, we make a plan to physically prepare someone for the trip through nutrition, supplements and exercise. The aim of this is to ensure that our customers see that taking good care of yourself is rewarded. This insight only becomes really clear during the trip because the trip works better because, for example, the receptors have been made more sensitive and because during that trip everything suddenly "lands". During the preparation we sometimes also give some assignments, the meaning of which only becomes clear during the trip.

What a trip therapy process looks like

We believe that a healthy body provides a healthy basis for being psychologically healthy. We do everything we can to address all facets of life and that is why we also advise our customers on nutrition, exercise and supplements. The complete approach for body and mind ensures the best results in the short and long term. Typically, we use a schedule that looks like this for most customers:

  1. Report, neurotransmitter test and intake
  2. Advice about nutrition, exercise and supplements based on point 1
  3. Review a period of 2-3 weeks of progress from point 2
  4. An individual psychedelic ceremony (unless a group has additional use or preference)
  5. Discussion of the truffle ceremony on the same day
  6. After about 1-2 weeks there will be another discussion

Extras during ceremony

Our psychedelic therapy through a truffle ceremony includes the following extras to make the experience even better:

  • Individual guidance truffle ceremony
  • Aromatherapy (during trip)
  • Color therapy (during trip)
  • Musical support (adjusted as needed)

Possibilities of trip therapy

The biggest advantage of a trip therapy session is that through introspection (looking within yourself) we can guide you to change your self-image. Many addictions, fears, stress, depression and other personal problems arise from a (negative) incorrect self-image, from non-real thoughts or from subconscious stress, which arise from fears in the subconscious. If you give yourself the best based on nutrition, thought and exercise, this will have a positive effect during and after the trip because these lifestyle changes are considered logical during the trip. Be good to your body and mind and they will be good to you. You are worthy of being the best version of yourself.
