Prepare to explore the groundbreaking realm of microdosing psychedelics with Paul Austin, a leading figure in the modern psychedelic movement, known for his mission to harness these substances to enhance mental health and personal growth. As the founder of The Third Wave, Paul is dedicated to educating others on the transformative potential of psychedelics, promoting their safe and intentional use to unlock creativity, boost performance, and improve well-being.

 

In this episode, we delve into the possible effects of microdosing to inspire behavioral change, deepen spiritual awareness, and sharpen focus. Paul also shares his experiences with psychedelics and how they’ve contributed to his healing journey and expanded sense of consciousness.

 

Join us for this eye-opening discussion as we explore how psychedelics might influence modern life and expand our understanding of human experience!

 

“Microdosing is a very low dose of a psychedelic, and it's typically defined as a sub-perceptual or even sub-intoxicating dose level—about a tenth of a regular or therapeutic dose of psychedelics. And the key with microdosing is that it's done two or three times per week over a period of 30 to 45 to 60 days. We, as humans, we've been using psychedelics for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, but largely, they've been used in ceremonial, shamanic, very high-dose containers to connect with God or source or a greater power. And microdosing is much more nascent in its discovery. It's only been talked about for the last really 10 or 15 years. And so it's a totally new take on an ancient practice.” - Paul Austin
