Truffle travel during ceremony
People choose to take an inner journey into the subconscious for a variety of reasons. One of the most common reasons is therapy is to treat conditions such as depression, burnout, (social) anxiety, addictions and PTSD. This inner journey can help change subconscious patterns and limitations through insights gained during the experience.
There are also spiritual and self-development reasons. Many people want to explore the connection between mind and body, improve their self-image, or simply experience the experience of a psychedelic journey for themselves. The inner journey offers the opportunity to explore blocked emotions and can lead to a deeper connection with the "real self," which can result in personal growth and meaning in life.
A truffle ceremony can also help process trauma, find answers to life questions, and improve overall well-being. In short, the reasons for taking an inner journey are diverse and can range from therapeutic purposes to spiritual and personal development.
What happens during a truffle journey?
During a truffle trip, participants experience different phases, each with unique characteristics and effects. The three main phases are described below: the coming up, the peak and the coming down.
The coming up phase begins about 15 to 30 minutes after ingesting psilocybin. During this phase, the first effects may occur, such as visual disturbances and an emerging feeling of euphoria or discomfort. Users may experience increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli, with colors appearing more intense and sounds deeper. It is a period when the mind begins to prepare for the deeper introspection that will follow. The role of counseling is important in this phase, as they assist in relaxing, which is essential for a positive experience.
The peak of psychedelic effects usually occurs 60 to 90 minutes after ingestion. This is when the effects are strongest and users often experience deeper introspection and self-reflection. During this phase, visual hallucinations may occur, such as geometric patterns and distorted images. The perception of time may also change, making it seem as if time is standing still or slowing down. Many people report heightened awareness of their own thoughts and emotions, which can lead to intense emotional experiences ranging from joy to fear. The coach provides support and asks questions that encourage the user to turn inward and explore the experience.
The coming down phase usually begins 2 to 5 hours after ingestion, when the effects of the psilocybin begin to wane. During this phase, perceptions slowly return to normal, but users may still experience insights and positive changes. This is a crucial time to discuss the insights gained and reflect on the experiences. The coach helps integrate these insights so that the user can apply the new perspectives in everyday life. The coming down can also be accompanied by a sense of satisfaction and acceptance, which can help change subconscious processes and improve overall mood.
