a story:
Busy Brain & Greater Awareness
“Ok, I have 7 minutes until the meeting…
So much to do, so much to take care of! I need to pee, then I have to wash my hands, especially if I’m gonna get a snack. I should check the color of my pee. Have I been drinking enough water? When did I last have water? I’ll get a glass with my snack. I only have 5 minutes! I’ll get an orange - that’s a healthy snack! Ughh, peeling this orange takes two hands! I wish I could just use one hand to peel and check emails with the other. Oh! I can just balance my phone in my lap and look at the emails that way, while I peel this stupid orange. Why does this kind of peel always break into so many pieces?! Why does he always send those pointless emails - we get it already, you said that 2 messages ago! We are NOT getting this kind of orange any more. AHHH, the meeting is already starting and I’m not ready…!”
Busy Brain
…instead… there can be Greater Awareness…
Taking a break… sitting down… peeling an orange - noticing the fragrant citrus smell, the texture of the peel, the burst of the sweet orange tartness on your tongue. Feeling rested, rejuvenated, and ready to continue your hero’s journey through your day… emails… meetings… oranges… pee… it will all be there… and so will you… How do you relate? How do you connect?
It’s kinda like mindfulness and mindful eating… and there are many significant similarities and connections between meditation, mindfulness, and profound psychedelic experiences. Similar to a dedicated practice of meditation or mindfulness, an integral psilocybin journey can offer you Greater Awareness…
Greater Awareness of:
Self
thought processes
emotional processes
the good, bad, ugly, and beautiful
Greater Awareness of all that is around you and inside of you… and your relationship with all of it.
…People…Family…Place…Creatures…Nature…Spirit…
Greater Awareness of our relation to the World, our past, present, & future, our being-ness, & our consciousness.
Integrating this Greater Awareness is both Asking & Answering the questions:
What to do with this Awareness?
How to be with this Awareness?
