Psychedelic-assisted therapy: Processing my journey

After a week, I realized that the psychedelics had led to a Kundalini awakening, believed to be an inherent energy that can be activated by specific occurrences, spiritual activities, or spontaneously.

As previously stated, I began experiencing shaking during the journey, which persisted upon my return home and is still ongoing two months later. I stayed in touch with the counsellor I visited for about a week after the trip, mainly to help understand the ongoing effects.

According to her, my system had responded positively to the psychedelics, with the processing still ongoing. However, I started to question whether this had triggered the beginning of Kundalini awakening, influenced by my readings.

The energy works to clear all blockages, hurts, and pains in the system, allowing our life energy to flow freely. I have been experiencing this process for a while, along with the discomfort and pain that comes with it.

Never did I anticipate accessing this energy, nor could I have envisioned the initiation of a process that could extend over weeks, months, or even years. This underscores the crucial need to recognize in advance that various occurrences may unfold during or following a psychedelic-assisted therapy session.

If individuals are not accustomed to managing their thoughts and emotions or dealing with the physical manifestations of these aspects and the process of letting them go, they may experience fear or difficulty in handling the challenges that arise during such a journey.

Healing involves letting things resurface and allowing ourselves to experience them. If we suppress emotions that we couldn't process before, we must confront them when they emerge to let them go. Initially, I may not have been conscious of this concept when I began self-improvement efforts, but my focus was on addressing the discomfort and anxiety that were affecting me.

Through the years, I have discovered that each time I believed I had successfully addressed an issue, a more profound layer emerged. The difference lies in the fact that I have developed a heightened awareness of my system, body, thoughts, and emotions as I delve deeper into self-reflection.

Having prior experience with a similar process is extremely beneficial, even though the current situation feels more challenging than usual. I have been navigating this path for more than ten years, but after my journey, more has presented than I am accustomed to managing at once. It is tough and uncomfortable, with some days being more difficult than others.

Not only am I going through a physical process, feeling tremors and pains in various parts of my body where the energy is active, but upon reflection, I realise that it has also cleansed my thoughts, emotions, and beliefs about myself and the world.

Personally, I believe I grasp the situation fairly well, recognizing it as a process of healing that will eventually come to an end, even though the duration remains uncertain. Despite this uncertainty, it is clear that navigating this requires significant patience and is a long-term commitment. I must consistently practice self-compassion and allow myself the necessary time and space to address these challenges.
