Psychedelic Guiding is a good samaritan counseling service that provides safe, supervised harm reduction support for those choosing to utilize altered states of consciousness for personal growth and healing. The practice combines various psychological, somatic and mindfulness-based counseling modalities with intentional, ritual use of altered states of consciousness to address such issues as trauma (PTSD), anxiety, depression, grief, anger, guilt and shame. Psychedelic Guiding can help assist with cultivating self-awareness, while releasing and resolving tension and trauma in the body. When used safely in conjunction with clinical counseling approaches, the practice can help increase awareness of unhealthy thought and behavior patterns, clear out nervous system blockages known as “dross”, re-develop one’s inner capacity for healing and can magnify healthy functioning by increasing feelings of self-love, self-worth, self-responsibility, creativity and intuition. It can also be used as an excellent problem-solving tool, inspiring new ideas and fresh perspectives as unmet needs, unconscious material and disruptive patterns are cleared and resolved. To increase efficiency, effectiveness, and safety, a trained guide and counselor offers harm reduction education, reflection and support both before, during, and after the journey.
As a Psychedelic Counselor & Guide, I assist with providing safe passage by combining supervision and support with over a decade of clinical harm reduction addiction counseling and 30 years of DJing psychedelic electronic ambient music experiences for festivals, nightclubs, individual journeys and group gatherings of various sizes.

PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC Journey
Music is an absolutely essential component in a guided psychedelic session, as it directs one to explore, sense, and process particular emotions, thoughts and memories that arise from the musical stimulus. "Psychedelic Soundtracking is the moment to moment customization of the musical soundtrack to fit your unique journey. The music utilized during sessions consists primarily of cutting edge psychedelic electronic ambient and chill-out that can best be described as emotionally evocative, personally reflective, multi-dimensional soundscapes that are reported to provide awe-inspiring visions combined with feelings of intense love, joy, hope, expansiveness, nostalgia, melancholy, and deep resolution.
