Powerful medicines like 5-MeO DMT, N,N-DMT, and salvia divinorum can be used not simply to bypass our current experience, but rather to help us un-journey right back here and now...to the non-dual realization of JUST this infinite moment. Psychotherapist and psychedelic guide Mira Funk shows us how. Video version here.

This video may be a bit intimidating, but luckily I decided to use these medicines myself under Mira's guidance so you might want to start with my post-journey integration session.

Here's the meditation Mira used with me to prepare for my 5-Meo/N,N-DMT/Salvia experience.

Mira Funk, LCSW, (she/her) is a queer, nonbinary psychotherapist, transformational coach, and psychedelic guide specialized in serving 5-MeO-DMT, N,N-DMT (including analog ayahuasca), and salvia divinorum. She studied comparative literature at Harvard, psychodynamic psychotherapy at Smith College School for Social Work, and psychedelic facilitation at InnerTrek. Based in Corvallis, Oregon, she is the founder of Unjourneying, a private therapy and coaching practice where she is passionately committed to optimizing her clients' psychedelic growth with a blend of somatic, mindfulness-based, and nondual integration approaches. Contact Mira to learn more about her approach on her Website, YouTube Channel, or Podcast, and follow her here.

These medicines are NOT for everyone, and this video does not represent medical advice. Only use these medicines in locations where they are legal under the supervision of a professional guide.

Consult with a psychedelically informed healthcare practitioner like Dr. Ben Malcolm to ensure you are medically cleared for your psychedelic retreat and that you won't have any dangerous interactions with your medications or supplements.

Do not use psychedelics if you have heart problems, a seizure disorder, are pregnant or breastfeeding; or if you have a personal or family history of psychosis, or are experiencing suicidality or other acute mental health symptoms. Please seek the support of a mental health professional if you are facing a mental health crisis.

Clinical research is showing that psychedelics can have anti-inflammatory effects. But note that when it comes to some chronic neuroinflammatory disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis or Lyme Disease, there is anecdotal evidence that psychedelics can be helpful; and also that they can trigger flare-ups. Mira has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease & Babesiosis, has experienced both healing and also inflammatory effects from psychedelic use, so if you have a neuroinflammatory disorder and want to explore psychedelics, it's best to proceed with caution in consultation with your doctor and to start with small doses or microdoses to see how you respond.
