#10 DIY MICRODOSING: The Varieties of Microdosing and Their Applications

The Varieties of Microdosing and Their Applications


Introduction

Microdosing is a practice that involves consuming very small amounts of psychedelic substances to benefit from their positive effects without experiencing disruptive aspects. This method is increasingly used to enhance well-being, creativity, concentration, and mental health.


Personal Experiences and Observations

Having tested different types of psychedelics and other consciousness-expanding substances, such as dissociatives, empathogens, and consciousness extenders, I have observed their varied effects. As a therapist and coach, I have guided many people in their microdosing journeys, mainly in the Netherlands and Spain. The most stable and effective substances, in my experience, include primarily LSD analogues and psilocybin truffles.


Substances and Reactions

What I observe is that people who use these microdoses in their daily lives, as well as in therapy and coaching, manage to maintain a focused awareness of their interactions with the outside world. They remain sufficiently sensitive to their own inner experience without being disconnected from their environment, reality, or thoughts. These substances allow users to stay grounded, with their feet on the ground, while feeling their emotions and sensations more intensely. They thus promote the expression and interaction with this sensitivity without being overwhelmed by it. Users utilize the expanded consciousness from microdosing to translate their perceptions from inside to outside and vice versa, perceiving this expansion of consciousness subliminally.


Regenerative Properties and Specific Uses

Microdosing with LSD analogues and psilocybin truffles possesses a magnificent neural regeneration capability, particularly observed with LSD analogues. I have helped people recover their sense of smell or taste lost due to COVID-19, as well as elderly individuals suffering from memory loss. Thanks to microdosing, they have been able to regain part of their memory. These results demonstrate the potential of these substances to promote neural regeneration and improve cognitive functions.

Neurogenic regeneration work is much more interesting with LSD analogues. Additionally, working with LSD analogues is particularly beneficial when it comes to coaching and creativity. Conversely, psilocybin truffles are much more interesting for introspective and therapeutic work.


Exploration of Other Substances

I have also had the opportunity to work with many other molecules and plants that have proven to be very fascinating and transformative. However, despite a subliminal dosage, these substances were often far too introspective and profound, making them less suitable for some individuals seeking more subtle effects.


Precautions and Professional Guidance

It is crucial to emphasize the importance of taking precautions when using microdosing. Although these substances can offer many benefits, their use should be supervised by an experienced professional. Proper guidance helps to minimize risks and maximize benefits, ensuring a safe and positive experience.


Testimonials and Feedback

Feedback from the people I have guided confirms the benefits of microdosing. For example, one of my clients regained her sense of smell after a long period of loss due to COVID-19. Another elderly client experienced significant improvement in his memory. These testimonials illustrate the positive impact of microdosing in various therapeutic contexts.


Importance of Subtlety

The goal of microdosing is to benefit from the positive effects of substances without experiencing their disruptive aspects. This requires a measured and personalized approach, as what works for one person may not be suitable for another. Powerful substances can trigger memory recalls or experiences that are too intense, which is undesirable for those seeking a subtle improvement in their daily lives.


Conclusion

Microdosing offers an exciting avenue to explore the benefits of psychedelic and psychoactive substances. With a prudent and informed approach, it is possible to maximize the advantages while minimizing the risks. Guidance from an experienced professional can also help navigate this practice in a safe and effective manner. I want to emphasize that these are only my experiences and my point of view, and I am aware that there may potentially be other very interesting and stable microdoses.
