Why setting intentions ahead of taking psychedelics is important. A practical guide

When choosing to work with psychedelic medicines first decide if you are going to take a spiritual or 3D world question to the medicine. To a certain extent it doesn't matter the direction. The medicine will reveal to you what you need to let go off and continue to do so as to be able to get closer to where or what you want. To this end It's important to have an intension This is the 1st leg of a 4 cornered process. 1st corner: Intension & preperation of mind body & soul. 2nd: the medicine & trip 3rd : intergration 4th: the work I'll go into detail below on each of the corners. 1.

PRIDE IN LONDON OFFICIAL APOLOGY

Pride in London​ NEW OFFICAL STATEMENT We Pride in London are prepared to acknowledge that after 500 years of worldwide imperialism & capitalist based on inequality and division created by white organisations. It is likely that we have behaved in racist and unequal ways towards POC. We are in contact with Dr Robin DiAngelo the author of 'White Fragility' and Jane Elliot to help us to understand where and how our racism rises and most importantly what we can do about it. We also acknowledge that as an institution that has not been able to listen to black and POC who have been in the organisation for many years it is best that we get white people to teach us where we have gone wrong as we are unlikely to be able to handle news of our racist behaviour from POC. We are now ready to start a full 3 month in-depth anti racism course and really look forward to being the first British institution to admit to racism and did the work required to stamp it out. We apologise

Initially the practice was serving well as a cure to muscular pain from playing Soccer, Squash, Surfing, Rocking Out and doing Judo. After some short time he realised that the practice was not just relieving bodily aches and pains, but emotional suffering too. In those fleeting moments on the mat he started to notice peculiar s
