Psilocybin Experience Insights

The effectiveness of psilocybin sessions can be significantly enhanced by keeping the eyes closed, allowing for a deeper inward exploration rather than being distracted by external visual stimuli. Visual hallucinations, often characterized by geometric shapes and morphing faces, are common, but focusing on internal experiences is crucial for therapeutic benefits. Using an eye mask during the journey encourages a more profound connection with thoughts, memories, and emotions, ultimately leading to adaptive improvements in mood and cognition.
