We are all part of one whole (Patreon)

Hello, friends!

I want to share something very personal with you, something I haven’t talked about before.

Some of you know that I’ve been practicing various spiritual techniques for a long time and using different tools for that. One of these tools is the use of psychoactive substances.

Since the onset of my illness, I’ve gone through all the stages of denial and rejection. It was specifically “magic medicine”—let’s call it that—that helped me realize many things, understand myself, and the world around me.

Perhaps it all started with ketamine injections at a clinic in Kyiv. I underwent eight ketamine sessions for the treatment of undiagnosed chronic pain. The first four times were very scary, confusing, and I was simply waiting for it to end as quickly as possible.

Under its influence, you don’t feel your body, your breathing, or anything else. It’s a dissociative drug, and I constantly had the sensation that I had died.

Later, at home, I began practicing deep meditations under the influence of cannabis. I even led several meditation sessions in a small group, and what happened to us opened completely new horizons in understanding our role in the universe.

If this topic interests you, I can write several posts and share my detailed experiences with each psychoactive substance. I’ll also explain how it helped me accept chronic pain and other life challenges.

Let me know in the comments if this is a topic you’d like to explore. In the meantime, I highly recommend watching the documentary “How to Change Your Mind” on Netflix. It provides a deeper scientific understanding of how these substances work 🤍
