Are you open to exploring the role of psychedelics in expanding consciousness and spiritual growth? Join me and Paul Austin as we dive into the spiritual dimensions of psychedelic experiences.   In today’s episode, I chatted with Paul Austin, the brains behind Third Wave and an expert in the psychedelic world. We discussed how psychedelics can transform your life, and it's not just about tripping out. Paul highlights the importance of setting intentions, preparing mentally and physically, and being totally honest during the assessment.    When it comes to the actual trip, it's all about surrendering to the journey and being open to whatever comes up. Afterward, it's crucial to integrate what you've learned into your life, and maybe even try microdosing to maintain the benefits. Here we covered the whole process, from choosing the right practitioner to the role of community and how to control the microdosing.   Key Takeaways:     Every individual's journey with psychedelics is unique, so it's important to approach the experience with an open mind and without expectations.       Building a strong community of like-minded individuals is crucial for support and guidance on your psychedelic journey.       Ultimately, the goal of psychedelic therapy is to help individuals lead more fulfilling lives by fostering self-awareness, emotional resilience, and spiritual connection.       Resources:   Third Wave’s Website and Social Media:     Website https://thethirdwave.co/        @thirdwaveishere (IG) https://www.instagram.com/thirdwaveishere/        X https://x.com/thirdwaveishere      Paul Austin’s Website and Social Media      Website https://www.paulaustin.co/        @paulaustin3w (IG)  https://www.instagram.com/paulaustin3w/        X https://x.com/paulaustin3w      ___________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.     Nate Palmer’s Website: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/        "The Million Dollar Body Method" by Nate Palmer: http://getnatesbook.com       Lean Energy Stack: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/pages/lean   - @_milliondollarbody (IG)  https://www.instagram.com/_milliondollarbody?igsh=MTR0b2x2M2Z2ajc4ZQ==
