How does a seemingly dangerous drug heals deep subconscious issues and help with personal growth? More than the stigma attached to it for a very long time, psychedelic experience provides positive effects to one’s life if done right and for the right reasons. 

Alexander Mullan is a Canadian living in Amsterdam. He is an ex-hockey player turned personal trainer turned copywriter turned self-proclaimed wizard of wordcraft, who travels at will, reads as much fantasy fiction as he can get his hands on. Added to these, he is deeply involved in bringing intentional growth-oriented use of psychedelics into the public eye.

In this episode, Alexander talks about the positive effects a psychedelic experience contributes to his life. More than its use in dealing with trauma and abuse, people not experiencing it, just the same,  will benefit from it as it opens the road to self-awareness. Anyone who wants to get into this psychedelic trip is curious enough to the possibility that something positive comes out of the experience. Sure, there is fear, but it is a matter of reframing it to get into an ideal experience. He also shares the best way to set up this experience as this put you in a vulnerable state. It’s not a good idea to be doing this in an unsafe environment surrounded by strangers. It’s best to be around someone you love and trust. He also mentioned how getting into this psychedelic experience opens to the potential of answering the question of who you really are. Why go with psychedelic when you can have other means to pull out the shadow to the surface and deal with it? What you can do in meditation for ten years, you can do with a psychedelic in one experience. Let’s dive into this episode and understand what this psychedelic awakening is truly about.

“Repeated psychedelic experiences will open you up to questioning the truth, which is a bit scary, to be honest, because then the certainty falls away, and you don't really know what is or what isn't. And what that does is, it puts the onus for your life and your decisions back onto you.” - Alexander Mullan
