There are many similarities, but there are also differences. If both are used wisely, this can do a lot of good for the mind and the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How Psychedelics And Meditation Affect The Brain\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m9DMkSVf6nA?start=75&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"psychedelica-als-meditatiemiddel\">Psychedelics as a meditation aid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where meditation releases endogenous psychedelics (probably DMT) in the brain, psychedelics ensure that you reach the meditative state at a deeper level than an average person can achieve through meditation. Psychedelics could therefore be labelled as an exogenously administered meditative state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"fMRI Brain Imaging: Classic Hallucinogens vs Mindfulness Meditation \u2022 Science of the Self\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yDDkfOEk53Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"mediteren-combineren-met-psychedelica\">Combining meditation with psychedelics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychedelics and meditation go well together. Some meditate on microdoses of psilocybin or LSD, while others meditate on a regular basis and take a high dose of psychedelics to reach a new level. Here at triptherapie, we always recommend making healthy choices surrounding psychedelic therapy or ceremonies. Meditation fits in very well with a healthy lifestyle, especially if you eat healthily, exercise enough, and sleep well. Psychedelic sessions can help you ultimately make the healthiest choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"begin-nu-met-mediteren-via-netflix\">Start meditating now via Netflix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you want to use psychedelics to alter your consciousness, it is advisable to meditate beforehand.
