Leslie Draffin, a somatic psychedelic guide and sensual embodiment coach, shares her journey of healing and self-discovery through intentional microdosing with psychedelic mushrooms. Leslie's path to this work began with her own experiences of shame, disconnection, and addiction. She tried various Western medical treatments but found true healing through spiritual modalities like meditation and mindfulness, as well as psychedelic medicine. Leslie explains that microdosing involves taking small doses of psychedelics, such as mushrooms, over a period of time, following a protocol. She emphasizes the importance of integration, which involves reflecting on and incorporating the insights and experiences that arise during the microdosing journey. Leslie also discusses the neuroscience behind psychedelics and their effectiveness in healing trauma by opening up the default mode network in the brain and facilitating communication with the body. She highlights the mystical aspects of psychedelics and the importance of trust and intention in the healing process. Psychedelics, particularly psilocybin mushrooms, can help tap into the subconscious and deep subconscious, aiding in the exploration of one's consciousness and the understanding of why we are the way we are. Combining psychedelics with somatic practices can be influential in healing trauma and regulating the nervous system. Somatic practices help ground individuals and create safety during psychedelic experiences. Psychedelics can amplify intentions and emotions, making somatic practices essential in navigating challenging experiences. Healing is a continuous journey, and while psychedelics can bring transformation, it doesn't mean complete eradication of struggles. Psychedelics can bring awareness and presence, allowing individuals to process triggers and emotions in a different way. Microdosing is not about getting high or tripping, but rather taking a low dose that allows individuals to go about their daily lives. Psilocybin may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions or a history of bipolar or schizophrenia. It's important to do research, understand personal risks, and approach psychedelics with intention and gratitude.
