In this audio I describe this ground-breaking information on how to heal with psychedelics from the book How to Change your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics by Michael Pollan.

The article I mention By Robin Carhart-Harris on The Entropic Brain on psychedelics is here https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2014.00020/full

00:00 Intro to the book and my work
02:40 outline of the book: history, natural history and personal experience of the author Michael Pollan, origins of psychedelic research LSD/mescaline - began in the 1940s/1950s with the 1960s counterculture and anti-war movement
04:59 The War on Drugs began and class A restrictions still in place 50 years later.
06:21 His own experiences with LSD, psilocybin and DMT
07:00 The neuroscience - switching off the Default Mode Network in the brain creates unusual new connections. Disconnection dissolves - we become one with all that is and love as the ultimate meaning
10:16 Drug assisted psychotherapy - the research from the US and the UK - particularly at Imperial College, London under David Knutt - one of the major research  groups in the world. The new renaissance.
14:20 Predictive coding is how the brain avoids uncertainty - entropy is controlled therefore by making things predictable and limited. New states require rewiring of regular reality to include magical thinking much like young children have with neuroplasticity
17:00 New expansive awareness has HUGE potential for healing disease states like depression, anxiety and addiction, overcoming the fear of death in terminal cancer patients but also promoting creativity and productivity in healthy people (when microdosed) 
19:24 The potential to help trauma/PTSD when traumatic memories are over-written by psychedelics and other forms of altered state promotion like EMDR. All require a safe therapeutic container.

Look out for my new book tentatively titled Mind Magic - summer 2024
