My fourth Ketamine Session


Describing these ketamine sessions is incredibly challenging, yet I feel compelled to capture these experiences in words to preserve them for the future. While everyone's journey is unique, these sessions have been profoundly positive for me – a calm, beautiful disassociation from my body that reveals a profound connection to something more significant. This is an experience I wish everyone could have,  a chance to discover that sense of oneness.

My desire to understand these experiences led me to Michael Pollan's "How to Change Your Mind."  It beautifully describes the transformative potential of psychedelics and their fascinating history.  This book delves into the world of LSD and psilocybin, once accessible – even underground –  and I highly recommend it for its insightful exploration.

My fourth ketamine session was again genuinely remarkable. In my prepared space, by the soft glow of candlelight, I set my intention before beginning. 

Darkness enveloped me, and I felt my sense of self dissolve as I floated above the Earth.  Geometric figures danced around me – robots? Machines? – their intricate fractal patterns mesmerizing.

Suddenly, I was soaring higher, watching Earth from afar.  Images I'd seen in photographs flickered past like a cosmic film reel. Then, dazzling colors swirled into kaleidoscopic patterns, each one more beautiful than the last. 

A feeling of profound connection washed over me, a sense of being woven into the fabric of existence.

Next, I was submerged, a school of fish gliding towards me in the watery depths. Dolphins and sharks materialized, their forms adding to the vibrant tapestry. This session's extraordinary length left me deeply connected, even after returning to my body.  Images lingered, a vibrant echo of my journey.

The shadowy figures I have seen add another layer of intrigue. The women are on my left, then the men are on the right, some departing—perhaps a symbolic representation of shifting dynamics or a message of duality. It's a fascinating exploration.

I am now in the process of reflecting on what those dreamy images are conveying to me.
