The Art of Giving
Many who have experienced psychedelic assisted healing feel a sense of unity with all beings and a profound wonder for their place in the natural world.
These experiences can also foster empathy, compassion and profound connections with others.
Even though the positive effects of psychedelics can last for long periods of time, even a lifetime for some, the euphoria does eventually subside. And as we go back to our lives, the “now what?” question arises. Psychedelics can lift the fog and show us new possibilities, but unless we integrate our experiences by making active changes, that fog can settle in again.
The changes we make―or want to make―are highly individual. Maybe it’s a new spiritual, self-care or creative practice, a job or relationship change, or a social adjustment. Or maybe it’s giving back in new ways.
If we consider psychedelics as a tool to transform not just ourselves but our whole society, then the giving back part makes intuitive sense: passing on to others the tools for self-transformation that we ourselves have been lucky enough to receive.
But now what?
Research shows that generosity makes us feel good―physically and psychologically.
We see our work “passing the baton” as the ultimate integration of the psychedelic experience. It is also an affirmation of the connection between generosity and happiness: we know that generous people are happier people and vice versa. The happier and lighter we are after our own journeys, the more we want to hold on to that – and what better way than to pay it forward?
