There is growing interest in the therapeutic integration of mindfulness meditation and psychedelics, given the wellbeing-enhancing potential of both modalities. Yet while psychedelics can open up new ways of perceiving and experiencing the mind, mindfulness meditation is classically presented as a practice of "undoing," to connect with bare experience.
How can we reconcile the differences in these modalities?
How can psychedelics aid us in coming to understand the mind?
What does it mean to bring a mindful approach to psychedelics?
