So some researchers hypothesize that the therapeutic effects of psychedelics come from their acute subjective effects, specifically ego dissolution.

By reviewing five studies that examine this correlation, this review found that the majority of the studies could present a moderate correlation.

So what this means is that there is a particular kind of trip that leads to healing.

which is ego death.

And the really fascinating thing about this is one of the most common questions that I get is, what is the connection between psychedelics and meditation?

Because in meditation, we also have improvements in PTSD.

We have neuroplasticity.

We have increases in BDNF.

We have improvements in depression.

We have improvements in treatment-resistant depression.

We have improvements in addictions.

So meditation does a lot of the things that psychedelics does.

And if you practice esoteric techniques of meditation, you will oftentimes have psychedelic-like experiences.

You'll travel to other dimensions.

You'll feel connected to all of humanity.

And we know that one of the things that happens in meditation is that our ego starts to dissolve.

There are some techniques that we'll specifically teach.

Y'all can check out Dr. K's guide where we do techniques like shunya meditation and stuff like that, which are sort of designed.

These are specific techniques to trigger this ego dissolution process.

Okay.
