4/11-Community Gathering Meeting: Being The Spectator of My Own Life While Being Calm
Thank you @Antonella Vittoria for the inspiration this evening in our community integration meeting. It made me think of the many 1000s of recovery meetings I attended over the better part of a decade where at times it would be me, and one other person, however, it only takes TWO people to have a meeting...(it was just me and you, and you and me, cuz I am you, and you is me) taking this a step further, sometimes that other person is a conversation with you and.... God source Creator Universe Divine 🙌 I digress.............👁️ I'd like to expand on what the title of this post is ALL about, and bring some more insight for Y👁️U Antonella, but also for others, as I was impressed with this powerful statement that came to you. In our discussion, Antonella reflected that she has been feeling more connected to herself and others while microdosing 🍄, she also mentioned that she felt like she was "being the spectator of her own life while being calm." This is a common experience reported by individuals who have tried microdosing with psychedelic substances. The feeling of being a spectator of one's life while being calm is often described as a sense of detachment from one's thoughts and emotions. It's as if the individual is observing their thoughts and feelings from a distance, rather than being overwhelmed by them. This can lead to a greater sense of objectivity and clarity about one's life, allowing for a more balanced and centered perspective. The calming effect that Antonella may be related to the ability of psychedelics to activate certain receptors in the brain, such as the 5-HT2A receptor, which is involved in regulating mood and emotions. By modulating these receptors, microdosing may promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with anxiety or depression, and, our modern-day life stressors. Overall, Antonella's experience highlights one of the many potential benefits of microdosing for mental health and well-being, particularly when it comes to promoting a sense of detachment from (what is, and what never was, and what we "think" should be) and calmness in one's daily life.
