It kind of looks more like a cheerleader's pom pom or the hair of a.

of a male lion.

And that particular mushroom does a lot of what psychedelic mushrooms do on the microdosing level.

Two things, more vocab, neurogenesis.

Neurogenesis is the forming of new brain cells.

And then neuroplasticity is forming new neural connections.

So sometimes like in extreme cases on a lot of psychedelics, people will experience what's called synesthesia, right?

That's where people say like, oh, I can see colors in music or I can taste art, you know, and your senses are crossed, right?

Those are neuroplasticity, like new neural connections that you're not normally having in a normal state of mind.

Yeah, that's life goals, yeah.

But for people that are saying that they're changing their habits or they're changing the way that they look at themselves, that they love themselves, that's forming new neural grooves.

Right?

And so I'm working on an article right now that is these studies from a lot of different therapists that are studying the brain on psychedelics.

And basically...

The role of the therapist right is to find a way to bring you to the childlike state of suggested ability.

Right when we're young, we can learn a language, a lot easier, we can pick up an instrument, you know our brains are like a sponge and that so we're able to go from.

you know, our current state to something completely different because our brains are more receptive to that.

So when you get to be our age, you know, you're in your 40s, like people make changes a lot slower, a lot differently.

And that's not just because we're stubborn.

It's because our brains are working the same way they did when we were a child.
