Psilocybin Psychedelic Guided Journey 

 

Psilocybin Therapy: Unlocking your Healing Potential with Magic Mushrooms


Psilocybin therapy is an emerging field that harnesses the power of psilocybin, the active compound found in certain species of hallucinogenic mushrooms, for therapeutic purposes. With a rich history spanning thousands of years, psilocybin has been used in traditional healing practices in various cultures. Today, this psychedelic substance is increasingly recognized as a promising tool in the realm of mental health and personal growth. 

Understanding Psilocybin:


Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound that belongs to the class of psychedelics known as tryptamines. When ingested, it is converted into psilocin, which acts on serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to altered states of consciousness, vivid sensory experiences, and profound introspection. These effects make psilocybin a captivating therapeutic agent.


These amazing mushrooms or “magic mushrooms” are considered to be non-addictive and have very low to zero toxicity. Psilocybin mushrooms have great potential to heal the body and mind. They are most known for their healing abilities of the mind by producing new neural pathways of thinking about oneself and one’s life, while providing deep and profound mental and emotional healing.  

The Potential Benefits of Psilocybin Therapy:

1.Treating Anxiety and Mood Disorders: Psilocybin has shown promising results in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, even in individuals who have treatment-resistant conditions. Research suggests that its unique ability to induce a mystical or spiritual experience may contribute to the alleviation of existential distress and a sense of well-being.


2. Addiction Treatment: Studies have demonstrated that psilocybin therapy can aid in addiction recovery, particularly for those struggling with substance abuse, nicotine addiction, or alcoholism. By altering patterns of thinking, heightening self-awareness, and increasing acceptance, psilocybin-assisted therapy may enhance the efficacy of traditional addiction treatment methods.


3. Enhancing Emotional Resilience: Psilocybin therapy has the potential to enhance emotional regulation and resilience by promoting neuroplasticity and rewiring maladaptive thought patterns. This can lead to improved self-compassion, emotional intelligence, and overall psychological well-being.


Controlled studies done by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, have revealed that Psilocybin can treat depression, anxiety, existential dread, PTSD and addiction. In those studies, 80% of those who received psilocybin said it was one of the five most meaningful experiences of their lives; 50% said it was the single most meaningful experience of their lives to date.


The Psilocybin Psychedelic Journey Process:

This experience embraces the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. Each experience is personally curated, delicately balancing each facet of your being. Through this approach, individuals are invited to embark on a profound exploration of self, igniting harmony, restoration, and a vibrant alignment with your true essence. 

The psilocybin journey is about a 6-8 hour experience that would take place in your own home with a therapeutic dose of psilocybin mushrooms. 

We will discuss what’s true for you in the moment, talk about expectations and set an intention. 

In this session you will have the opportunity to have no distractions from other people and you will be able to go into a sacred  space of profound healing.  You will be accompanied by myself as your “guardian” and I will hold space for you and will attend to all your needs and safety. 

I will never leave you alone and will be there to keep you safe, guide you through any challenges, answer any questions and offer loving support.

You will be accompanied by a music playlist specifically chosen for this journey that works to deepen your experience.

After you have “come out” of the journey(anywhere between 3.5 - 5hrs after ingestion), we will have some nourishing food to re-energize your body and then start to discuss the integration process.    

Integration Process: 

Integration is a process in which a person revisits and actively engages in making sense of, working through, translating, and processing the content of their psychedelic experience. Through intentional effort and supportive practices, this process allows one to gradually capture and incorporate the emergent lessons and insights into their lives, thus moving toward greater balance and wholeness, both internally (mind, body, and spirit) and externally (lifestyle, social relations, and the natural world). 

It is a process of reflecting and connecting with the feelings, sensations, thoughts, images, and spiritual experiences you’ve had, and starting to see how they relate to you in the present.

Psychedelics push us past internal boundaries and have the potential to teach us life-altering lessons. With the right integration techniques, you’ll get the most out of your psychedelic experience.

Below is what psychedelic integration promotes:


Making sense of your unique experience with psychedelics

Adjusting back to your normal life after a session

Make changes based on new insights you gained

Find ongoing support and a like-minded community

Gaining clarity on visions, emotions, or memories that surfaced


Before a psychedelic session, you’ll have the chance to set intentions. Intentions may involve speaking up for yourself, forgiving yourself or others, gaining clarity in a difficult situation, or simply stepping into who you’re truly meant to be. Whatever the intention is, psychedelic integration is the process that turns these intentions into a reality. 

Some samples of Psychedelic Integration:

Journaling
Journaling is an integration method everyone needs to implement after a psychedelic experience. Writing down your experience is the perfect starting point for self-awareness and externally processing what you went through. Asking yourself questions, acknowledging emotions, and sharing your thoughts on paper is a connecting exercise that brings clarity following a psychedelic session. Keep your journal close by during a psychedelic session to ensure you’ll be able to quickly jot down a thought if it comes to mind throughout the event. Following psychedelic therapy, it’s recommended that you immediately journal your experience so you won’t forget what was brought up in your elevated state of consciousness. 


Start with writing down everything you recall: emotional or physical shifts you felt, memories that came up, or anything that sticks out but may not make sense yet. Detailing your session can be a vital guide in the future to reference back to when working with an integration coach or setting intentions for what’s next. Journal prompts are an easy starting place to organize your thoughts. The following are optional questions you can ask yourself to clear the air and start the road to deeper healing:


What questions came up during the psychedelic session?

What are three key points or words that describe my experience?

Did I feel any intense emotions? If so, how did my body react to that?

Are there any physical or internal changes I’d like to make moving forward?

Did it feel like I let go of anything or any memories?

What do I need the most after this experience?

Is there anything that feels important to explore?


There is no right or wrong way to answer these questions as everyone’s psychedelic experience is different. The main goal of journaling is to recognize what meaning a psychedelic session holds for you. When you answer these questions and apply new actions, you’ll quickly come into alignment with the most whole version of yourself. 

Movement and Exercise
Psychedelics shouldn’t solely be a mindful experience—they also can initiate a deepened mind-body connection.

Below are a few ways you can practice embodiment after a psychedelic therapy session:


Yoga

Nature walks

Dance

Breathwork

Meditation


Perhaps hard emotions or traumatic memories were brought to the forefront of your mind during a psychedelic experience. Embodiment helps you tune into where these emotions or memories are being held in the body promoting self-healing and emotional regulation. Through self-awareness and intentionality, you can make sense of these mindful messages your body is trying to send you after a psychedelic experience.

Psychedelic Integration Circles
Community is a valuable resource for you if you’re trying to unravel and make sense of your psychedelic experience. To achieve personal transformation, you’ll be required to surround yourself with like-minded people who’ve also delved into the world of psychedelics. With care, support, and a safe space to open up, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you can see healing and growth take root in your day-to-day life. Having a place to share your story and unique experience while receiving empathy and understanding opens the door to empowered living. 


Integration circles involve community in-person circles and online integration spaces, usually led by licensed therapists, psychedelic facilitators, and coaches. Integration circles include verbally processing your psychedelic experience, hearing others share, and receiving outside perspectives to help you integrate what you’d like following a psychedelic session. If you feel alone after a psychedelic experience and crave a like-minded community, psychedelic integration circles are a great place to start. 

Why is Psychedelic Integration Important?
Psychedelics foster a connection with your internal world and through integration, you will deepen the connections of the experience. These integration methods are a bridge between a psychedelic experience and the lasting impact you want to see take place. It’s possible that psychedelic sessions can change how you live your life, who you surround yourself with, and how you act from your psychedelic experience on—part of the process is to bridge the gap between psychedelics and reality. That’s where integration comes into play.

While a psychedelic experience will show you who you could be, integration practices will give you the building blocks to get to that desired destination. 

Ongoing Support: 

I will continue to make myself available to you and provide ongoing support, helping to integrate the profound realizations into your daily life. This could include therapeutic follow-up sessions, guidance on implementing changes, and offering resources for continued exploration and personal growth.

Rolfing was something I was always intimidated by but my practitioner put my mind at ease and the session made my body feel a lot better. I will definitely be doing this again.
Nancy MCMillen
I had my first Lymphatic session. Already feel a difference in the swelling in my legs!!! Can’t believe I waited so long to do this. Need to come back for some Rolfing as well. This nurses body has been beaten down. Thank you Carolyn!!
Kenny Anderson
I spent 20+ years on a mtn bike and snowboard living in Colorado working my body. I have 10 years as a surgical nurse, which might have been even harder on my body. I know what scared up connective tissue looks like up close and know the feeling of carrying it around while kids use you as a personal playground and punching bag.I had Rolfing done 8 years prior by someone who was in the first Rolfing classes. I was impressed but it was in no way as good as the series I received at Aligned Body Integration. Scott made my body feel so much better, I felt years of abuse get corrected as my body praised Scott for removing years of built-up pains. I'd leave feeling like I had the best deep tissue massage ever - after every session and would sleep so peacefully that night. Time and money are well worth on the package deal because it keeps you committed to the intention. I will continue with quarterly tune-ups and the try some of the other modalities they offer.Thanks and blessings to y'all for helping folks in need,I highly recommend!
Chris Carpenter
Scott is an amazing practitioner. Within just a few months he helped rid me of loss of feeling in my upper arms/upper back due to multiple back/neck injuries from years of abuse in high school and college football. I have seen many different rolfers and would highly recommend Scott to anyone who is looking to solve/improve on past injuries as well as improve on overall health/nagging injuries.
Yaicha Bryan
I had a great initial session with Carolyn. This was my first time Rolfing! I have had issues with tension headaches, chronic scapular pain, and IT band pain. I get temporary relief with massage and accupuncture, but the pain returns quickly. Carolyn helped me to understand why these issues were occurring, and gave me tools I can use to help prevent recurrence. I left our session feeling more open in my chest, which I hadn’t felt for years, and understanding how the way I had been carrying my weight was causing these chronic issues. I will be back to work into deeper layers in the future!!
Kimme Anderson
Scott is great at what he does. I’ve worked with him on and off over the last 6 years. His observation, assessment and skill has helped me move beyond the discomfort associated to several volleyball related injuries. Most recently he has helped me gain strength and flexibility with a hip injury. If you’re looking for a great Rolfer I would definitely recommend him. Carolyn his wife while I haven’t seen her in years she knew her stuff. She’s whip smart and attuned to her trades. Keep doing what you’re doing Scott & Carolyn! Thank you.

I was so impressed with my rolfing session with Carolyn! I felt she really went the extra mile to listen to me and address my concerns. It’s clear she really intends to make it a helpful experience for the client. Highly recommend!
mrry550
I have been going to Carolyn for several years now. She has always helped me resolve any muscle issues that I have had through her techniques. I specifically sought her out after moving to Colorado because I wanted someone who knew Rolfing. She is really amazing. Not only is she a fantastic therapist, but she is also endearingly kind, a fantastic listener and I am really happy to call her a friend.
sonja tarbox
Carolyn is absolutely wonderful. She’s so knowledgeable, well trained and intuitively experienced. Great Rolfing snd I’ve been seeing her for years. Thanks Carolyn!!!
David Farrell
I have been going to see Scott for several years and it is always a great experience. Scott provides a thoughtful and holistic approach. Not only is Rolfing great, he has given tips on approaches to running, footwear, and nutrition. His athletic achievements are also inspiring - it gets me on the trails. To top it off, it is a tremendous value relative to other treatment options.
vicki mizel
Carolyn is wonderful. I can to her and Scott after a car accident. She was gentle and at the same time deeply helped me with range of motion in my neck and back.For insurance she wrote the best write up I think I’ve ever had from a practitioner.She is supportive and kind as well as a wonderful healer.On a personal note she even bought my book and showed me her favorite parts she read so far.I feel I’m in good hands and will return for more treatments.Thank you.Vicki Mizel
Jennifer Garner
This Rolfing place is amazing! They are very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it. Excellent therapy session.
Emil Sheron
Carolyn is fantastic! After two back surgeries she brought me back to a normal place with less pain and an increase in flexibility. She is a very skilled and talented Rolfer.
MKT
Carolyn is a wonderful person and an amazing Rolfer. She really cares about you and makes sure that you feel relieved when you are finished with a session. She does energy work as well which assists in her overall holistic approach to full centered healing. If you are in need of Rolfing then I highly recommend her.
carol engelson
"Carolyn is very soulful in her style while working on your body. Her skill is top notch. She has helped me move through scar tissue from surgeries and injuries. I very much appreciate her care and understanding of the physical pains/ limitations and the goals I wanted to achieve with her treatments." To add a bit of tidbit- she is always punctual with her appointments.
Tessa Thulien
Carolyn is powerful healer and Rolfing has transformed my life. After a session, I feel more at home in my body, more balanced, and more integrated. Carolyn had helped recover body (injury) and mind (stress & trauma) and I am forever grateful for her presence in my life!
Anna Wai
I have been going to Carolyn for few years. Rolfing is a great way to relieve the knots & it’s a deeper fascia massage. Rolfing helps me lead a healthy life without pain.
John Huddle
I have been a client of Carolyn Burd at Aligned Body Integration for three years. Rolfing has done wonders for my body. I practice Tai chi and yoga. Both disciplines benefit my body and well being. I have certain muscular tightness that Rolfing alleviates. Carolyn is attentive to my issues and promotes my healing. I just get better and better with time.
William Albrecht
Carolyn is excellent. Great Rolfing technique, with a thoughtful approach that considers the whole person. She's wonderful to work with. This is an easy 5-star review.
Nancy MCMillen
Carolyn has been amazing!! I call her when I get a flare up and she gets me in. Usually it’s one or two sessions and I’m good.
Rochelle Rabeler
I've been working with Carolyn for over 5 years now and highly recommend her and Aligned Body Integration for your rolfing needs. I have scoliosis that was starting to cause frequent pain and was at the point of considering invasive options when I gave rolfing a try. I'm so glad I did. I visit Carolyn 1-2 times per month and have not experienced much pain or the need for a chiropractor for a quick fix in years. She's an excellent rolfer who cares about her clients and researches techniques to help with specific issues, but above that, she's also a wonderful human being.
Katherine Hale
When I developed shin pain after running, someone suggested I see a Rolfer to help relieve the pain. I saw Carolyn for the first time and was extremely happy with her treatment in relieving my shin pain. Whenever I have severe muscle pains, I schedule Rolfing treatments. The treatments really help.I would highly recommend Carolyn!
Robin Veraldi
I was new to Rolfing and Carolyn and Scott have been great practitioners to introduce the process! My whole body has felt better after each treatment. I did another session of treatments after a car accident and know that it helped lessen any adverse effects.The office is cute and clean as wellAs easy to get to. I’m So grateful they’re a part of my health/body care journey!
Delbert Ruppel
I've worked with Carolyn for a few years now and highly recommend her for anyone doing energy work, spiritual growth, etc. (Whatever label you use, lol.) Honestly, she's the only therapist I've used that practices rolfing, but I have no reason to seek further.My first massage triggered a deep meditative state and a sensation that persists to this day that I can "hear", "see" or "feel" my experiences and the world around me as a beautiful song. She finds the stuck energies in my body right away, without telling her anything. My experience tells me she's extremely intuitive. I've had many extremely satisfying experiences and, even though I recently moved to Texas, I plan on enjoying many more. I will be flying back from time to time and will make it a priority to visit!
bandmanager007
I have been going to the Rolfing Burds for over a decade now and cant give enough praise for them. I have had several instances of being in distress in my body and they have given me relief through rolfing. Carolyn has amazing great energy as a person too and always makes me feel at ease. She really knows a lot about the human body. I tecommend them highly.
Charmaine Cheung
I see Carolyn and she is amazing. I originally went for some hip pain but she also identified other structural issues with my posture and helped me work through them. She has been a lifesaver and will keep me moving like a well-oiled machine!
Judy Heifetz
Carolyn has been a God sent! She has helped me through a lot of physical challenges throughout the 5 years I have been seeing her! Thank you for your services
Shemirah Brachah
I have been coping with sciatic pain for more than 10 years, and I've tried many therapies: massage, physical, hydro, MENS, TENS, and acupuncture...Rolfing is the only therapy that has provided lasting relief. Since I began treatments with Caroline, I've gone from daily discomfort that sometimes immobilizes me to pain relief that borders on complete!I'm so glad to have found The Rolfing Burds, and I look forward to continued improvement and eventual freedom from pain!
Dale Wingert
My first visit was with Carolyn, I had sciatica to an extreme. I was ready to quit working it was so bad. The morning after my first visit I didn't want to get out of bed but when I did I was able to be functional for the first time in quite a long while. I continued sessions and now just maintain what I need.I've been seeing Carolyn and Scott nearly 10 years now. Good people with a great practice. My relief is dramatic after every visit. I wish my schedule would allow more me time.
Colin Whitenack
First visit was great. Scott learned my history and dug in.
Phil Felice
I have been a client of Scott and Carolyn’s for two years now and this has been the most significant body work relationship of my life. On my first session with Scott he was able to pinpoint the root of a shoulder injury that had plagued me for nearly 20 years. This injury had been missed by over a dozen other practitioners leaving me in constant pain and continuing worsening posture. Once repositioned Scott and Carolyn worked with me to repair the rest of my body positioning that had suffered as a result of this unattended to injury. The improvement in my quality of life is remarkable.With such a major injury behind me, I have continued to see them for surface tension related to stress and general aches and pains. I am extremely satisfied with the service I have received and strongly recommend them for your body work needs.
Rawan Bardini
AMAZING! Carolyn is absolutely wonderful and the rolfing healed my years of back pain in just a few sessions. Best thing that ever happened to me! 100% worth it!
Jessica Marian Jones
Carolyn is amazing! I just have to say this. I have some severe anxiety and was late to my appointment. Carolyn understood that life happens, and she still took me for my appointment. I had regular massage, but nothing has helped my back and rolling ankles. I had immediate relief after I left my appointment. I feel straighter and have more flexibility. I am so excited to continue with Rolfing. She is concerned with long run health, and showed me how to pay more attention to my body while sitting all day. Everyone should experience it!
Jacob Miller
Best Rolfers Ever! Friendly too!
