This chapter explores the innovative integration of light and sound therapies with psychedelic treatments, specifically focusing on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Through personal testimonies and reflections, the speakers examine the transformative effects of technologies like the Lucia light and Sound Self system, while discussing the subjective nature of psychedelic experiences. Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, they highlight both the profound therapeutic potential and the inherent challenges of using psychedelics responsibly.
In this deep and wide-ranging dialogue with Matt Xian from the Xian Archive podcast, I share my testimony of how the conscious use of psychedelics helped liberate me from issues that just wouldn’t budge by other means. I differentiate the way I used substances earlier in my life from how I choose to engage with these medicines today, and I do my best to explain in words why 5-MeO-DMT is in a category all its own.
We also discuss sound and light technologies as adjuncts to psychedelic journeys—or journeys in themselves, as well as EMF sensitivity and tools you can use to protect yourself.
