Prepare your environment
One of the most important aspects of a positive magic mushroom experience is creating a safe and comfortable environment. This means finding a quiet and peaceful space where you can relax and let go. As psychedelic researcher James Fadiman explains, “Create a supportive environment. You want a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and are not going to be disturbed.”
In addition to creating a supportive physical environment, it can also be helpful to set the tone with calming music, candles, or other sensory experiences. As Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered LSD, once said, “The essence of my experience has been that psychedelic substances are not a path to wisdom, but a path to self-experience… The only possible interpretation of any research whatever in the `psychedelic’ area is that it opens up areas of the mind which were hitherto closed, and that such experiences have a therapeutic effect upon the individual.”
