I am enthusiast of healing work within the various modalities of altered states of consciousness, otherwise known as (ASC.) ASC’s, which have been called non-ordinary states of consciousness, have been defined in the states in which the mind is awake but not in it’s usual state of consciousness. Main examples of these states would include hypnosis, meditation, hallucination, and trances. However there have been a few researchers that wouldn’t agree with the term non-ordinary, or would question what hallucinations mean in definition as well as experience to be called hallucinations. I am genuinely interested in the medicine, the science within the mind as well as without related to quantum physics, I am fascinated with the biology and chemistry of Entheogens, of breath-work, and of deep states of meditation. How they have the potential to assist in the healing of our bodies and minds.
I want to continue the conversations as this subject and the field is exploding. From Psychedelic assisted therapy using Psilocybin for patience in hospice, MDMA treatment for serious PTSD, and ketamine treatment for depression and anxiety. These treatment modalities are making headways as they are moving through their phase studies. Many of these studies were and are currently Held in top institutions, Such as Johns Hopkins university and medical school, many of these findings are proving, within the cared for safety measures, to be quite beneficial.
I want to draw on like minded individuals with information, questions, experiences that continue this journey in the realm of ASC’s. I would find this blog successful if it it brings up the conversations and inquiry within anybody who has an interest or is just beginning to want to delve deeper into the subject.
