105 | Recognizing When & How to Take a Break from Psychedelics

Modern Psychedelics

In this solo episode with Lana, we explore importance of taking a break from psychedelics and medicine work. While these powerful tools can facilitate profound healing and transformation, there are times when stepping back can be the medicine you need. I discuss five key signs that it might be time to pause, including having too much to integrate, chasing the highs of the experience, and noticing compulsive habits forming around psychedelic use. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone who may be questioning whether they are still benefiting from their psychedelic practices.

Additionally, I provide practical strategies for how to take a break effectively, including focusing on integration, exploring other modalities, and prioritizing other areas of life. This conversation is rooted in the importance of listening to your intuition and recognizing that everyone’s journey with psychedelics is unique. If you are considering a pause for psychedelics and The Work, this episode provides guidance on finding balance and ensuring that your psychedelic experiences continue to serve your highest good.
