THE MINDFULNESS EXPERIENCE
Every two weeks, we delve into the world of Mindfulness Experience (MEx) concepts and explore their application in our daily lives. We comprehensively examine mindful experiences and their impact on neurology, physiology, biology, psychology, philosophy, and mythology. Our exploration of mindfulness considers how it affects the body, mind, spirit, food, sleep, environment, and relationships in a holistic bid to create a more balanced and fulfilling life. The areas we will strongly focus on include trauma, addiction, entheogens, empathogenic, and psychedelics. We recognize the powerful impact of these substances on individuals and society as a whole. By implementing mindfulness, we can better approach these experiences, heal from trauma, and battle addiction. Entering into empathic and psychedelic states through substances such as psilocybin can help to facilitate a transformational experience, leading to greater self-awareness and a more profound understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This show is produced and hosted by Keith W Fiveson. https://workmindfulness.com/about/about-me-2/

In this episode of The Mindfulness Experience Podcast, host Keith Fiveson is joined by Jennifer Chesak, an award-winning freelance science and medical journalist. She is the author of The Psilocybin Handbook for Women and a conference speaker at the Wonderland Miami 2023 Conference.

She also discusses the differences between women and men in terms of processing psilocybin and other psychedelics. According to her research, women tend to feel the effects of psychedelics more intensely and for a longer time than men.Microdosing, according to Chesak, involves taking a small and controlled amount of psychedelics, which can have a wide range of benefits, including improved creativity, mood, and productivity. While there are no long-term studies on the effects of microdosing, anecdotal evidence suggests that it is safe and effective for most people.Chesak notes that psychedelics could become an alternative treatment for addiction, depression, and anxiety. However, she believes the stigma must be addressed to enable mainstream adoption.
