Learning how to surrender in a psychedelic experience is a practice that many journeyers seek to understand. In this episode, Jimmy and Nicholas explain the difference between giving up and surrendering. They’ll walk you through the process of actively relinquishing control as a means for allowing the psychedelic experience to unfold organically and without internal resistance.

Our hosts will discuss the importance of recognizing our survival mechanisms in order to detach from the self-preserving habits that take us out of the present moment. They’ll also highlight how expectations and comparison can quickly become an obstacle in a psychedelic trip and how setting expectations differs from creating a therapeutic plan.

Later they'll consider the role of social conditioning in our human tendency to focus on outcomes rather than the process. Then they’ll explain how we can find the emotional space to embed surrender into our current belief systems.

To close off, our hosts compare surrender to the act of radical acceptance by unraveling their inextricable link to trust and faith. Nicholas and Jimmy define what it means to view your psychedelic medicine as an ally while providing tangible steps for mitigating fear and practicing the art of surrender in our daily lives.
