We will talk about three important aspects: set, setting and psychedelic preparation. So read on quickly!

What is set?
Let's start with "set. This refers to the mental state you are in before you begin your psychedelic journey. To create the perfect set, it is important to ask yourself: How am I feeling right now? Am I mentally stable? Do I have positive thoughts and emotions? It is important to be in good mental health before embarking on a psychedelic journey [1]. If you feel stressed, anxious or depressed, this can negatively affect your trip. Remember that psychedelics like magic mushrooms amplify your feelings, so it is important to be in a positive state of mind before you begin.
The perfect setting
The next factor we are going to discuss is "setting. Setting refers to the physical environment in which you will experience your psychedelic journey [2]. Consider the location, the atmosphere and the people around you. A quiet environment with few external stimuli is often best suited for a psychedelic experience. This allows you to concentrate better on your inner experience and avoid unwanted distractions.
Consider a comfortable room with soft lighting, pillows and perhaps some soothing music. Furthermore, it is important to have the right people around you. Choose your travel companions carefully. They should be people you trust and who radiate positive energy [3]. They should have an understanding of the psychedelic experience and be able to provide the necessary support when needed.
Psychedelic preparation
Now that we are aware of the power of the right set and setting, let's look at psychedelic preparation itself. This includes several aspects you can consider to enhance your trip. First, you want to make sure you have the right mushrooms. There are Mexican, Thaise, Colombian and many more types of magic mushrooms. Do some research and choose the one that suits you best. Also make sure you take the right dose and know what to expect.
In addition, it may be helpful to set an intention for your journey. What do you hope to accomplish or learn? What are you curious about? Setting an intention can help you stay purposeful and focused during your trip. Finally, it's important to consider compliance with safety measures. Make sure you are in a familiar environment, free of potential dangers. Of course, it is always wise to have a trip sitter who remains sober and can assist you if needed.
