Questions about psilocybin, spiritual development, meeting guides and accessing past life memories

[Neville]

I want to preface this with I don’t advocate for use of drugs, I don’t do readings when under any kind of influence so these questions are more about personal development, not accuracy/development for the purpose of readings-

I have an opportunity to take psilocybin next weekend but I’m torn as to whether or not I should. If I do, I want to treat it as a spiritual learning experience and if possible use it to help develop spiritually but wouldn’t mind developing/leveling up some of my abilities. I understand that it would not be any kind of replacement for meditation or regular spiritual practices.

What I would like to do while using it-

1. Meet spirit guides – I’ve been practicing mediumship for almost a year but have seen things my whole life. I’ve never been able to “meet” my spirit guides though when I’ve done the meditations to do so. I am wondering if dosing will help facilitate that. Is that possible? Anyone done that before?

2. Access past life memories – I have heard of past life regressions but haven’t ever done one. I know that’s an option but wanted to know if it’s possible to access past life memories using psilocybin. Any experiences to share?

3. Improve abilities – I have an open 3rd eye but I would like to see auras or feel/discern different energies more. I would also like a stronger 3rd eye, or really stronger anything if possible. What are some of your experiences in this area?

In general, trying to approach this carefully as I’ve never done anything like this, so looking for as much input from other intuitives as possible. Please help me decide by sharing your experiences!

IMO if its made from nature its created by the divine and in moderation will only assist in your abilities

Also very interested to hear more responses. What I will say having only done mushrooms once, and a very small dose of 1gram, is that if you have expectations, you might be disappointed. I got mixed reviews from ‘set your intentions’ to ‘go with the flow’ and my experience did not feel anything like what many had described.

Having done mushrooms a number of times I would absolutely recommend you have an experienced trip sitter with you or at least someone who has a experience with entheogens and is partaking of the trip. The person who mentioned getting into a dark room and doing them rightly so said that’s not how you should handle your first experience. The trip sitter or guide person can help ground you during the experience – such as using the MAPS protocols. Here’s [a hotline for Pretrip advice, in flight help and post trip integration ](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/psychedelic-help-support-line-fireside-maps-1190166/amp/). [Here’s a good article on what a good trip sitter should do. ](https://doubleblindmag.com/trip-sit-lsd-psilocybin/). Depending where you are in the world you can get [some pretty amazing trip “services”](https://triptherapie.nl/en/guided-tripping-netherlands/) It really is all about set and setting. My husband and I did it for the first time in our 30’s though I was not yet spiritually aware or properly respectful. I did 3.5g and had visuals and such a total beautiful feeling of love. We did them again about a year later and it was again just beautiful to be together feeling like we were the only souls in the universe that mattered.

I have been thinking of growing my own but also am a little torn only in that I have recently found meditating and chanting to be very powerful tools as well. I probably will go back and try it at some point because I also like you want to meet my guides, past lives etc. you also might want to check the subreddit devoted to mushrooms /r/UncleBens

If you want to do it in the most spiritual way, it is recommended to find a safe space you can do it, go into a dark room and do the entire trip with your eyes closed. You can do it lying down or how I prefer, in the meditation position. The quantity of your dose will play a factor in your experience. 3G would be powerful. 5G heroic. You should understand your own tolerance levels and underlying psychological makeup/your current mental health levels to determine what’s safe for you. If you don’t have much experience with psilocybin I would tread carefully and make sure you have situations and processes and people in place in case you need support.

If it’s your first time doing psilocybin I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this approach.

With psilocybin you must consider set and setting. Set is your mindset going in and setting is the space you do it in. Both extremely important. In general it’s better to be near nature and with a degree of privacy that makes you feel secure.

My spiritual journey, and working with sacred plant medicines. Grateful 😇

I suggest you don’t actively seek past life memories whilst under the influence. Past lives often contain visceral trauma, and you can be re-traumatized when visiting those memories. I suggest you be in a calm, clear state when first seeking past life memories. Oftentimes, we remember lives backwards, so your first experiences may be of death, rather than living memories

Good luck on your journey! 🌿

Everyone should absolutely try mushrooms at least one time in their life. The people who say you shouldn’t, haven’t.

I hope more people respond to this. Very interesting question! I’ve read a bunch of stories about meeting divine beings, “seeing” peoples energy, etc

Psilocybin was a great tool for me to be able to work on my personal development towards being a medium. It’s just important to stay in high vibrations Bc spirits can use your body as a vessel more easily and if you’re in a low vibration then a low vibrational spirit can take over. I’ve never had this issue, I always feel like my most authentic self on mushrooms. Remember mushrooms are the safest drug to take so reassure yourself you’re okay and make sure you’re around people you completely trust and a setting you’re comfortable in. Also if you’re a vessel for the divine I feel like mushrooms will show you the love they showed me 💗
