Mushroom Journey’s & Beyond:

My first psychedelic mushroom aka psilocybin experience was in 1989-1990. Out of around 20 journey’s, only one I would say wasn’t pleasant. There are many factors that play a role in what kind of journey you will have. First is dosage. Dosage is important while some types/genus’ are more potent than others as well. This depends on location, harvest, and other factors…Also, your current state of mind plays a key factor in how your vibe will be during your journey. I recall the one ‘bad trip’ I had was during a break up w/my college boyfriend. Never again have I eaten psilocybe’s while not in a positive state of mind! Higher dosages should always be guided with an experienced companion, or healer/shaman. Paul Stamets recommends a list for your trip consisting of “20 sacred items for the sacred mushroom expedition”. This sounds amazing and I would love trying this suggestion. It is also very important to be in a nice peaceful high-vibe setting, preferably outdoors in Nature. Just remember: Set & Setting~

Psychedelic mushrooms have other components besides “psilocybin” that help with strength and activation. Two of these are Psilocin and Baeocystin. Following a meaningful ritual and having intention around healing some aspect of your being will be of greatest value in your experience, especially a positive and inspiring one. There are many who are finding help with serious(some lifelong) conditions, specifically mental and spiritual. One way of achieving this gain can be through “micro-dosing” for periods of time. Others choose to take a stronger dose under supervision, which can help the benefits last longer without consumption. I believe fungi or wild mushrooms are literally connected to Mother Earth more than anything else on the Planet. In this way they are messengers not only to life of the earth, making bio-spherical connections to heal whatever they can, but also to healing our bodies once they are inside Us. They carry magical medicine on every level: Physical, Mental, Emotional & Spiritual. We all could use these precious gems in helping our journey Be more Healthy.

Many types of doctors are recommending mushrooms for healing a wide array of ailments, even M.D.’s. I’m convinced that mushrooms and their mycelium are what we need all doctors to be prescribing for any illness as they are loaded with different polysaccharides and triterpenes. These plant(and fungi) compounds are here to heal. They miraculously work both internally and externally. One example would be given Reishi or Ling Zhi(Chi), is one of the most well studied and widely researched of the mushrooms, has a long list of super-powers: Boosts immune system against pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and parasites; Improves circulation, which helps physical appearance, heart health, and brain cognition; Balances the endocrine system, supporting hormone health. One study showed that 1,000mg of extract daily relieved allergy symptoms completely. Two of the most prevalent terpenoids are sterols and ganoderic acids. Sterols have been proven to lower Cholesterol by impeding the absorption of cholesterol in the body, which helps to improve circulation and heart health. Ganoderic acids have been shown to improve oxygen flow, boost Liver functionality, and inhibit histamine response. Found throughout the world, especially in warmer climates on dead or dying trees, such as oaks and willow in the West, maple and elm in the Eastern US………
