Do you feel like you’ve hit a creative roadblock? Are you searching for a way to take back the passion and inspiration that seems to have quietly faded away? Well, the increasingly popular life hack of the 21st century may be exactly what you’re looking for. We’re talking about microdosing – the act of consuming tiny amounts of psychoactive substances for personal growth.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what microdosing is, the benefits associated with it, and the various styles of the practice that are popular today. So, let’s jump right in!
What is microdosing?
Microdosing is the act of taking miniscule doses of psychoactive substances to gain creative and personal insight. This practice has been around for centuries, but modern culture has provided an abundance of varied substances that allow us to explore different mental planes.
The practice of microdosing often involves taking small amounts of psychedelics such as LSD, Psilocybin, or DMT, in the range of 10 to 20 micrograms to mitigate the euphoric effects of the substance but still allow the user to experience frustrating mental barriers. This makes the effects of the drugs more subtle and more focused on personal development than on the traditional ‘trip’ experience.
Benefits of Microdosing
Using small amounts of psychedelics in this way has seen a surge of supporters claiming the benefits of the practice. In particular, the benefits that users experience are claimed to reduce anxiety, improve an individual’s focus, reduce symptoms of depression and alleviate stress.
Other more subtle benefits can also occur which can include an increased personal insight, improved cognitive flexibility, increased productivity, increased energy levels and improved creativity and goal-setting. These effects have not yet been conclusively proven or substantiated, so it’s worth doing your research on the individual effects of the substances you use.
Different Styles of Microdosing
There are various styles of microdosing to choose from, each with its own advantages, including:
1. The Ad Hoc Method: This involves simply taking microdoses as and when the user wants to, without any particular frequency or planning.
2. The Schedule Method: This method involves taking a carefully planned microdose at specific points in the week, usually in the range of every three to four days.
3. The Cyclic Method: This method involves taking 3 days off between microdoses and then repeating the process for a month before taking a break.
Conclusion
The practice of microdosing is still relatively new and there is much research to be done in order to prove the effectiveness of the practice. However, the anecdotal evidence of users who swear by the practice is growing and the world of alternative healing is watching this trend with great interest.
So, if you want to unlock your creativity and explore the undiscovered parts of your mind, why not consider microdosing psychedelics as way to help you reach deeper states of consciousness?
