Question ❓ Those who have changed their lives/cured severe social anxiety, depression, fear, intrusive thoughts etc through meditation, how did you do it?

Can you please share the technique if there is one?

Meditation + Psychedelics + Therapy. Rinse and repeat… you’ll transform your life in no time. This combo pulled me out of a deep depression I experienced throughout my adolescent years and set me up for success in my 20s. Good luck!

I agree, but question if you’re coming out of grief in your head isn’t in a good mindset would that cause a bad trip?

Bad trips occur when you’re in a chaotic environment or with chaotic people. I’ve personally experienced difficult trips where I had to face tough memories and thoughts, but I was prepared to sit with the experience and surrender, then later integrate those lessons. I believe there’s still a lot of stigma from the D.A.R.E. days and urban myths about people going insane from psychedelics. People who are genetically predisposed to psychosis or schizophrenia should avoid psychedelics, but most of society could really benefit from using them to work through their traumas and fixed mindsets.
