Angela talks to author and psychedelics expert Matt Zemon, about psychedelics and their potential for personal growth and healing.

Matt shares his personal journey with psychedelics, including his first experience and the profound insights he gained. They discuss the importance of intention, set, and setting when using psychedelics, as well as the different types of psychedelics and their effects.

Matt emphasises the role of integration in harnessing the transformative power of these substances and how they can help individuals connect with their true selves and experience a sense of interconnectedness

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Psychedelics can be a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery, but they are not a cure-all and should be approached with caution.
• The three key factors for reducing risk when using psychedelics are source (knowing where the medicine comes from), set (having the right mindset and intention), and setting (creating a safe and supportive physical environment).
• Different psychedelics have different effects and purposes. For example, MDMA can be used for treating PTSD, psilocybin can facilitate deep introspection, and DMT can provide profound spiritual experiences.
• Integration work is crucial after a psychedelic experience to incorporate the insights and lessons into everyday life.
• Psychedelics can also be beneficial for end-of-life care, helping individuals and their families navigate the process with more peace and acceptance.

BEST MOMENTS

"The first thing they're going to do is quiet down your default mode network. So that's that inner narrator that is constantly telling you you're not enough, you need to do more, you're not worthy."

"I think that combination of three medicines over a few days is really a powerful arc."

"It's so interesting what you're saying. So interesting. I remember being with my father when he passed away and just realizing in those final moments, the just how much human touch could make a difference."
