The Psychedelic Journey: Preparation & Integration Guide

Description

Okay, you've decided. You're going on a psychedelic journey. The medicine has spoken to you, and you've committed to answering its call. Great. Now what? The intention behind the writing of this manual is to answer just that. As the renaissance continues and more and more information becomes available, literally by the day, about psychedelic medicine and its potential impact on psychiatry, psychology, and spirituality, it's no wonder many people feel confused and unsure where to start. My hope is that this will help provide you some direction and clarity. So, let me be direct and clear. This manual is designed to complement, not replace, working with a trusted guide or therapist during your exploration through alternate states of consciousness. Although I've written the manual to cover a broad array of medicines and modalities by which you may explore said alternate states, it is by no means all-inclusive, and it intentionally omits detail that would serve you better to discuss in connected conversation with an experienced practitioner. It's designed with a two-fold purpose - it's meant to be both an informational manual and an interactive guided journal, a space within which you can dirty the margins by jotting down notes and questions, where you can highlight, freewrite, and make it your own. Let it live and breathe; invite it to evolve alongside you. Lastly, before you dive in, let me say thank you. Thank you for heeding the call. Thank you for leaning in. Thank you for committing to this brave and beautiful work of looking deep within. I trust you'll be in awe of what you find there. To happy healing and safe journeys, J. Whaley
