When it comes to psychedelics, proper microdosing can be a game-changer. Microdosing psychedelics can give you all the positive benefits without the heavy and intense hallucinations that characterize a “trip.” But the trick is knowing how to properly microdose, so that you get the most out of it without putting yourself at risk of a negative experience. Here are some tips for microdosing psychedelics to help ensure a successful and beneficial experience.
What is Microdosing?
Microdosing psychedelics means taking very small doses over a period of time, typically once every three days. Microdosing is not about getting high, but instead aims to provide subtle but firm increases in focus, creativity, energy and/or wellbeing.
Why Should I Microdose?
Apart from its positive effects on physical and mental health, microdosing can open up creative paths that were once blocked by the classic psychedelic experience. It takes psychedelics out of the spiritual and recreational realm, and into your everyday routine as a regular supplement. It’s a way to add a little something extra to your day-to-day life without going overboard.
How Do I Start Microdosing?
When it comes to the specifics of microdosing, it’s always best to start low and go slow. Start with a dose that’s one fifth to one tenth of a regular dose, and increase the dose over the course of a few days until you reach the desired level. Be aware that it may take weeks of trial and error to find the perfect dose and scheduling for your individual needs.
How Can I Maximize the Benefits?
There are a few ways to maximize the benefits of microdosing. Firstly, practice mindfulness to observe any changes within yourself throughout the experience. Secondly, meditate or practice yoga to open yourself up to the full potential of this experience. And lastly, don’t expect quick miracles. Be patient – it may take some time to really take hold and give you the desired emotional benefits.
