The Psychedelics Integration Handbook

"Intensely practical, successfully designed to be useful, and just chock full of wonderful information related to mind-states that one encounters while taking psychedelic journeys, this book will be the necessary reference and guide for years to come." --James Fadiman, Author of The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide.This book is for you if you are wondering about whether to use psychedelics and, if you are using psychedelics, you want to be sure you are being safe and sane and getting the most out of your experience. The Psychedelics Integration Handbook is designed to bring psychedelic experiences into the flow of your life and maximize their potential for helping you create the life you want to live. This is not a book with black and white answers but an offering to individual people who want to explore all the possibilities for being alive and seeking wholeness.The Psychedelics Integration Handbook contains historical perspective, maps of consciousness, approaches for integrating body-mind-spirit, and practical suggestions for all stages of psychedelic exploration. In contrast to other books on the topic, this handbook includes the reader as an active participant in the journey through the book, with frequent questions for the reader's consideration ("Now Your Turns") and Psychedelic Integration Exercises to assist explorers with discovering themselves and their highest potentials and purposes.With attention to the "here and now" of the widely proclaimed contemporary "psychedelic renaissance," the authors address difficult topics such as the shadow of psychedelics use, the demonization of psychedelics historically, the growth of lawful therapeutic uses for psychedelics, and the complicated relationship of psychedelics and mental health issues, including addiction.
