Metamorphus - Mental Health

MycoMeditations' founder, Eric Osborne, has facilitated hundreds of psilocybin journeys and witnessed profound positive changes in the lives of nearly every client.

Caring, practical and experienced, Eric supports guests throughout the process and is available upon return home.

It is our belief that re-discovering your authentic self opens the door to long term well-being.

While all psychedelic plants are sacred tools for self improvement, our focus is Psilocybin.

Our founder, has a long and intimate relationship with fungi of all varieties, especially those of the genus Psilocybe.

These mushrooms, known for millennia to initiate deep psychological healing are once again gaining notice scientifically.

As far as psychedelics go, Psilocybin is overall a gentle teacher. Rarely do mushrooms induce vomiting or physical discomfort.

This isn't to say mushroom experiences are always easy, which is why preparation, integration and experienced facilitators such as ours are important.

Healthy Lifestyle Challenge #2. Close your eyes and imagine three things you are grateful for that money can't buy. Write them down. Embrace the power of gratitude in your life.

Gratitude has been studied to improve physical, psychological and emotional health. A dose of gratitude a day can transform the way you perceive and experience the world.


Here are 7 scientifically proven benefits:

1. Gratitude opens the door to more relationships. Not only does saying “thank you” constitute good manners, but showing appreciation can help you win new friends, according to a 2014 study published in Emotion. The study found that thanking a new acquaintance makes them more likely to seek an ongoing relationship. So whether you thank a stranger for holding the door or send a thank-you note to that colleague who helped you with a project, acknowledging other people’s contributions can lead to new opportunities.

2. Gratitude improves physical health. Grateful people experience fewer aches and pains and report feeling healthier than other people, according to a 2012 study published in Personality and Individual Differences. Not surprisingly, grateful people are also more likely to take care of their health. They exercise more often and are more likely to attend regular check-ups, which is likely to contribute to further longevity.

3. Gratitude improves psychological health. Gratitude reduces a multitude of toxic emotions, from envy and resentment to frustration and regret. Robert Emmons, a leading gratitude researcher, has conducted multiple studies on the link between gratitude and well-being. His research confirms that gratitude effectively increases happiness and reduces depression.

4. Gratitude enhances empathy and reduces aggression. Grateful people are more likely to behave in a prosocial manner, even when others behave less kindly, according to a 2012 study by the University of Kentucky. Study participants who ranked higher on gratitude scales were less likely to retaliate against others, even when given negative feedback. They experienced more sensitivity and empathy toward other people and a decreased desire to seek revenge.

5. Grateful people sleep better. Writing in a gratitude journal improves sleep, according to a 2011 study published in Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being. Spend just 15 minutes jotting down a few grateful sentiments before bed, and you may sleep better and longer.

6. Gratitude improves self-esteem. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology found that gratitude increased athletes’ self-esteem, an essential component to optimal performance. Other studies have shown that gratitude reduces social comparisons. Rather than becoming resentful toward people who have more money or better jobs—a major factor in reduced self-esteem—grateful people are able to appreciate other people’s accomplishments.

7. Gratitude increases mental strength. For years, research has shown gratitude not only reduces stress, but it may also play a major role in overcoming trauma. A 2006 study published in Behavior Research and Therapy found that Vietnam War veterans with higher levels of gratitude experienced lower rates of post-traumatic stress disorder. A 2003 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that gratitude was a major contributor to resilience following the terrorist attacks on September 11. Recognizing all that you have to be thankful for —even during the worst times—fosters resilience.

Healthy Lifestyle Challenge #1. Set aside 5 minutes today. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Breathing is an unusual bodily function in that it is both involuntary and voluntary. Breathing is also managed in the unconscious, but at any moment we can grab the controls and consciously change how we breathe.

Dr. Herbert Benson argued that controlling breathing in this way triggers the parasympathetic nervous system (link is external) to come online and counter our sympathetic nervous system’s fight or flight response to daily stresses. In effect, the relaxation response is the anti-fight or flight response. Subsequent research has backed up and expanded Benson’s argument.

Close to 800,000 people die due to suicide every year. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in 15-29 year-olds. 1 person commits suicide every 40 seconds. We can change this statistic together.
