How Psychedelics And Meditation Affect The Brain

Currently, psychedelics are getting renewed interest from the medical community. From anxiety and depression to addiction and even overcoming fear of death, research is showing psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has a lot to offer. And science is showing us that the same part of the brain that is suppressed with psychedelics-the default mode network- is also suppressed in very experienced meditators. In this minisode, Dr. Hyman explores this topic in his conversations with Michael Pollan, Anthony Bossis and Daniel Goleman.
Michael Pollan is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Cooked, Food Rules, In Defense of Food, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, The Botany of Desire, and his latest book How to Change Your Mind, which is all about the new science of psychedelics. A longtime contributor to the New York Times Magazine, he also teaches writing at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley where he is the John S. and James L. Knight Professor of Science Journalism. In 2010, Time magazine named him one of the one hundred most influential people in the world.
Anthony P. Bossis, Ph.D. conducts FDA-approved clinical trials in the reemerging field of psychedelic research. He is a clinical psychologist and clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine investigating the effects of psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in specific species of mushrooms. Dr. Bossis was director of palliative care research, co-principal investigator, co-author, and session guide on the 2016 landmark study showing a significant reduction in emotional distress along with enhanced existential wellbeing from a single psilocybin-generated mystical experience in persons with cancer.
Dr. Bossis is a supervisor of psychotherapy at Bellevue Hospital and co-founder and former co-director of the Bellevue Hospital Palliative Care Service and maintains a private psychotherapy practice in NYC.
Daniel Goleman is best known for his worldwide bestseller Emotional Intelligence and most recently co-authored the book Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain and Body. Goleman has been ranked among the 25 most influential business leaders by several business publications including TIME and The Wall Street Journal. Apart from his writing on emotional intelligence, Goleman has written books on topics including self-deception, creativity, transparency, meditation, social and emotional learning, eco-literacy, and the ecological crisis.

Through mushroom ceremonies I realized how deeply connected we are to everything and this helps transform the ego. It’s about reopening our connection to the universe, the connection has always been there we just need to reactivate it. The monks through their meditation practices have found a similar path. Once we understand the relationship between the ego and the universe we can then establish a baseline for meditation. It is our awareness of ego and understanding how the stories we submit to memory about our experiences that diminishes its negative influence over us. The stories we submit into our memories are often a result of previous memories which are heavily influenced by the ego. The stories are based from a disconnected view of the world if they’re heavily ego-based. If by whatever means say being mushrooms or meditation we can become connected to the universe and more disconnected from ego then the newly stored memories become less egocentric. The more of these less egocentric memories we store the less our life becomes about ego and the more aware we become about how we view our experiences.

I m going through this experience ..things which can be achieved through psychedelics fast and temporary can be achieved with meditation solely a little slowly and permanently..but the best combination is both to realize this experience and take the meditation path in the end and keeps..meanwhile u experience this speech and make ur own reality ..just my personal opinion

[@harumpagi]

i,ve been experiencing like emotional bomb while meditating, and something in the centre of my chest pushed by that emotion

[@averagebodybuilder]

I love my namaaz (salaat)

[@faebalina7786]

The idea that meditation only happens in Buddhism is not true other religious prayer rituals can be considered as such

There's no need for a religion to meditate. I do it and I don't follow any religion!

[@faebalina7786]

@ i think 'meditation' is not really what i meant but sure , for me what im talking about is different to meditating which may be for inner quiet or for stillness compared to communicating with the one who create you through reflection or prayer or over God's words it may look like meditation but its just different the source is external as but you are also focused on tapping 'in'

@@faebalina7786 I understand! I pray/talk to God, Jesus, Mother Mary, my Archangels without me being associated to any religion. I do this every day. I am a Reiki healer and do this every single day. What I am trying to say is: any kind of meditation or praying or even channelling does not have to be associated with a religion. Our Creator has no religion he simply is. Now, I am not saying it's wrong to follow a religion! Instead I am saying that you don't have to have one or follow one to have these practices. 🙏
