Wellness is an essential part of any travel experience. It provides a much-needed break from everyday life and responsibilities and allows you to relax and recenter yourself. But have you ever considered embarking on a journey solely focused on your personal journey?
This summer, I did just that. I embarked on my first wellness retreat and it changed my life. I experienced a guided psilocybin therapy session at the Sayulita Wellness Retreat in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Now, the thought of a mushroom trip might scare some people. But did you know that psilocybin can have healing properties? Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic produced by more than 200 species of fungi. In some cultures, it has been used for centuries and, more recently, countries like Australia have recognized the medicinal elements of psilocybin and allowed authorized psychiatrists to prescribe medicines containing it.
Recent studies have found psilocybin to contain anti-depressant and anti-anxiety properties that can last for several months. It can also be helpful in the treatment of nicotine and alcohol addictions and is considered to give patients a new perspective on life, leaving them with new emotional and information pathways.
But, as with any psychedelic, there are risks. Psilocybin can cause changes in mood, perception, and thoughts. It can also worsen symptoms of certain mental conditions like personality disorders and schizophrenia. Research also shows that psychedelics might increase the chance of negative side effects for some physical health conditions, like heart and liver disease.
That's why I believe it's important to undertake a guided mushroom trip in a professional and safe environment. After my experience at Sayulita Wellness Retreat, I gained a better understanding of just how transformative a guided mushroom trip could be for those who qualify.
So, why might you want to try a psilocybin wellness retreat? Well, there are many reasons. Firstly, there is much healing on the other side of a psilocybin retreat. Taking psilocybin can show you how to confront and overcome your fears, live life more freely, and gain a better understanding of yourself. It can also open up your third eye, allowing you to see the subtle planes of reality and observe auras, chakras, and spiritual entities around you.
Secondly, a psilocybin retreat can be a great way to connect with your ancestors and experience Indigenous healing treatment. Through my own mushroom trip, I was able to astral travel and vividly see Native American ancestors through the trees surrounding the retreat.
Thirdly, a professional guided experience is essential to ensure you have a safe and healthy trip. Psychedelic therapy should always take place under professional supervision and credible retreats will provide you with a post-psilocybin therapy session experience that will continue to guide you along your come down.
Fourthly, psychedelics can be an alternative to pharmaceuticals and traditional therapy. Studies from the National Institute of Health have found that psilocybin therapy has shown encouraging results in the treatment of substance addiction, major depression, and those battling cancer or end-of-life mood disorders.
Lastly, a psilocybin retreat is also a great way to take a wellness vacation. At Sayulita, we were able to enjoy a beautiful private beach, infinity pools with captivating views, hikes, a beachfront horseback ride through the jungle, and more.
So if you’re considering a psilocybin retreat, do your research and pick the right accredited resort that will safely guide you along your journey to higher self-awareness. There's only enlightenment waiting for you on the other side, and maybe an ancestor or two!
