How visionary journeys are related to coincidences and connections.
Are telepathy and synchronicity enhanced by psychedelic experiences? The answer is yes — and the evidence is accumulating!
Psychiatrist Charles Grob has been at the forefront of psychedelic research for more than 20 years. On this week’s podcast, he outlines the connection between altered states of consciousness and synchronicities.
He also offers advice about how to supercharge your psychedelic journey. Fundamental guidelines include: Be careful about your expectations and the setting in which you take your journey. Define clear intentions for the journey. Afterwards, take the time to integrate the experience into your personal narrative.
