RE: The truth about depression that society will not tell you: How I got free using MDMA.

in #psychology8 years ago (edited)

Thanks for reading; and good points.

It's not the only way out. Meditation has helped me a lot too.

However, in the case of my experience (and that of several friends), I don't feel meditation would have been enough to break through the walls we'd build around our pasts.

I think meditation will keep me on the path towards greater freedom. And I think it can help many people. It can even enhance an MDMA therapy session to know basic meditative technique.

However, for me, meditation had its limits in terms of revealing and healing the depth of trauma I've encountered in myself and others.

On the other hand, I feel like MDMA, and ayahuasca, actually taught me meditation. Because often there was no way out of an amplified thought pattern than to observe it from a new perspective. To feel it without being it. To breathe and wait.

I think these disciplines are entwined and a combination therapy could be the fastest way home :) Meditation combined with low-dose LSD is another amazing combination for trauma therapy.

Absolutely! Everyone's experience is slightly different. I was never suicidal, so obviously I was going to try meditation before psychedelics or mdma, and it worked way better than I could've imagined. Actually, it was because of meditation that got me interested in trying psychedelics, lol. Kind of the reverse of your experience. When these disciplines are entwined, can't describe it other than 'shit gets real.'
