Neurological and psychological mechanisms

• Increased Neuroplasticity: Psilocybin promotes the growth of new connections between neurons, increasing the brain's ability to change and adapt. This helps individuals break free from rigid, negative thought patterns.

• Enhanced Connectivity: It enhances communication within brain networks related to emotion and self-perception, which may help people reframe traumatic experiences and develop a broader perspective.

• Neurogenesis: Preclinical studies show that psilocybin can stimulate the formation of new neurons, particularly in the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for learning and memory.

• Personality Changes: Psilocybin can induce "mystical" or "spiritual" experiences, which have been linked to lasting positive changes in mood, attitude, and behavior. These experiences can also lead to increased "openness," a personality trait associated with greater imagination and appreciation for new perspectives.

Risks and precautions

• Contraindications: pregnancy, and certain medication interactions.

• "Bad Trips": Psilocybin can trigger intense negative experiences, sometimes called "bad trips." With the guidance of a shaman these are very healing trips. Allowing the person to reframe the traumatic experience and develop a broader perspective.

I've been doing massage and energy work intuitively since I was 4 years old. I studied massage at the Pennsylvania School of Muscle Therapy in 1997. I became a Reiki master teacher in 2001 at the Circle of Miracle School of Ministries. I was ordained my a native America Indian Shaman, Moon Dancer Shakti in 2002. Combining shrooms with massage and energy work has completely transformed my work. The innate wisdom that these mushrooms connect us with is indescribable. My best description is complete bliss with total body restoration.

Psilocybin can have benefits for treating various mental and behavioral health disorders. The therapeutic effects are often rapid and long-lasting.
