LSD Microdosing: Sky Medicine 🌌

When someone is drawn to psilocybin microdosing, there is often an unspoken soul-level summoning you can’t quite explain — a secret, sacred contract — and once you hear that initial whisper it tends to keep calling you forward… making the most magical connections, coincidences and serendipities to bring you into relationship with its spirit and reconnect you to our shared earth.

I’ve witnessed this ‘soul readiness’ in thousands of people over the last five years - individuals coming to the ritual, the practice and relationship with psilocybin like a calling. Every year, people continue to amaze me with their dedication and deference to the medicine, their willingness to allow the medicine to lead them - to teach them - and the graceful, faithful patience they bring to their process & progress.

One trait the individuals in our diverse microdosing community near-universally share is their determination and willingness to ‘do the work.’ They’re unafraid to touch into the shadows, unafraid to sit with the big emotions, unafraid to hold a vision & faith in their healing, growth and relationship with spirit. Unafraid to have their heart broken by life at times in their quest, unafraid to feel fully, unafraid to appreciate the gift before it arrives, unafraid to receive the clarity of truth.

But here’s the thing: Sometimes we get so comfortable in the depths, swimming in the dark, exploring our internal landscape, intently tracking ourselves, and earning our ‘soul stripes’ that we forget healing, growth and transformation can also be light, joyful, expansive, freeing, wonder-full, creative, magical and filled with laughter. We go all-in on exploring the dark earthly underground, but what about the bright, radiant sky full of stars above?

The earth & cosmos remind us: we are here to be fully, expansively HUMAN in all the ways — to embrace our lightness, embrace our freedom to create, embrace our dreams, embrace our clever, funny, amusing humanness in all its shapes and forms.

— Last winter I went through one of the heaviest portals of my life - emotionally and energetically; I know a great many of you have this year as well. Even though I’ve been through many of these portals - know and trust well enough these initiations always precede tremendous spiritual expansion - this one was particularly rough and jagged. As I sifted and moved through each new layer day after day, week after week - feel/release/repeat - I heard my guide’s familiar voice: LSD now.

Huh? Say what? I had never been drawn to work with LSD medicine, and while I appreciated the adoration many of my colleagues have for it - it had never really been on my personal radar. But, as with all instructions from spirit, I listened, and here is what I learned:

Sometimes, after a season of heavy, the greatest medicine is to hold Lightness. After so much grief, to experience Levity. To learn to Laugh in the same proportion as our tears, and to feel as Limitless and free as we once felt conditioned and controlled. We are meant to have many Lives within each Life.

Microdosing LSD taught me that play and laughter, creativity and dynamic flow, are every bit as necessary and important as the “serious” work of healing trauma. That feeling uplifted and inspired and living from that place is immeasurably valuable. That true integration happens once we’ve done enough work ON our lives to be effortlessly IN our lives with radiant peace, abundant creative expression, and thoughtful, generous, inspired actions.

Following Dr. James Fadiman’s protocol of 1 day on/2 days off (which I found to be perfectly ideal for LSD microdosing) coming out of my heavy winter portal was like the sun cracking through thick clouds, a warm, radiant energy tendrilling through my spirit, and a welcome lightness of presence & being. It was also just the medicine I needed in advance of traveling to Egypt - a preparation for rapid, cellular spiritual growth & memory - and a greater connection to the lessons of air & ether.

After years and years of working with earthy, wild, instinctual mushrooms (which could never remotely be described as consistent in effect) I was amazed at how pristinely predictable I felt on Day One, Day Two, Day Three. This, in and of itself, was soothing and freeing - giving a kind of spiritual scaffolding to climb and shape the living day around.

The felt sense of LSD microdosing, to me, was enormously freeing - expansive - like my spirit was blessed with new ease, range and speed of movement… like roller-skating through the day — nothing felt like “work,” just natural creation and expression. I was enormously prolific and creative during my LSD microdosing series, writing effortlessly and well into the hours I’d normally be winding down. And I moved back and forth between the ‘serious stuff’ of life and falling down on the floor to laugh & play with my dog effortlessly — this medicine is especially magic if you have a tendency to take yourself and everything else a bit too seriously.

I found myself loving Day Three - a smooth, placid, calm vibe - every bit as much as Day One’s upbeat flow and overflowing creativity, feeling a new appreciation for the range in the upper octaves of our human emotional spectrum, senses and capacity.

See, spirit says…. It is always both: our capacity for one expands our capacity for the other.

There comes a time where the earth & mushrooms go quiet and spirit whispers, you’ve done enough inside here (tap, tap) - it’s time to take it all out into the world for a spin, that’s what you’re all here for, after all. Go now and be it, express, build, and create it - actually bring it to life.

The earth medicine foundation we establish in relationship with the plants, the mushrooms and the cactus - the deep, wide, feeling foundation - prepares us for the ascension quality of LSD. Mushrooms gift us depth and groundedness, cactus gives us wide, expansive embodiment, and LSD helps ignite our spirit & intellect upward, creatively directed, and potently clear.

Every medicine serves its unique purpose, serves our evolution, and prepares us for a deeper, more expansive and ascended version of ourselves.

If you’re someone who has felt the overt heaviness of this year - the energetic weight of the collective metabolizing of the narratives of fear and control - or prone to feeling seasonal winter depression here in the Northern Hemisphere - I highly recommend the beautifully freeing medicine of LSD.
