Mindsip insights from this episode:
Neutralize EMFs with Quantum Upgrade for enhanced cell recovery
A service called Quantum Upgrade is claimed to use quantum technology to neutralize harmful EMF exposure, improve cell recovery, and increase ATP production by up to 29%.
Utilize Fatty 15 supplement to slow biological aging
A supplement called Fatty 15 contains C15, a newly discovered essential fat that is claimed to be more effective than metformin or rapamycin at slowing biological aging.
Reconsider origins: Shift belief from apes to divine descent
For 99.99% of human history, we believed we were descended from gods, and only in a tiny slice of Western culture do we believe we ascended from apes.
Facilitate healing by empowering self-discovery
A healer cannot actually heal another person or assign meaning to their experience; they can only facilitate a space where that individual can remember who they are and heal themselves.
Utilize gratitude journaling post-psychedelics to enhance neuroplasticity
Using a gratitude journal for 30 days after a psychedelic experience is critical for taking advantage of the neuroplasticity window to train your mind on the positive.
Trust yourself instead of asking others what to do
The phrase 'tell me what to do' is dangerous because it means you don't trust yourself and are giving your agency to someone else who may be lost themselves.
Recognize psychedelics as catalysts for self-awareness integration
Psychedelics are not cures for anything, but rather catalysts or tools that put you in a state where you can remember who you are and then integrate that awareness into your life.
Recognize ketamine's addictive potential despite accessibility
Of all the common psychedelic medicines, ketamine is the one with the most addictive potential, despite being the most legally accessible through clinics.
Question your psychedelic facilitator before the session
Before a psychedelic session, you should ask the facilitator about their beliefs, what they will say or sing during the journey, and if they will try to sell you anything afterward.
