Desire to expand my mind...Question about Psychedelic Therapy and share your story

[lucidzen]

I've been learning about Mindfulness Meditation and Psychedelics since October, specifically Psychedelic Therapy with Psilocybin and LSD and the benefits of these drugs with depression.

So far the only way I've been able to really explore my mind has been by using mindful meditation with marijuana and I have to say that my depression has definitely improved since then by continuing this practice. But during my last trip on weed I realized that there was something more within my mind that I wanted to explore but couldn't. The best way I can describe it is like this, think of a (Legend of Zelda) dungeon, within every room you find treasure and you keep going to find your way to the Big Boss Door, but you need a key to get in. I reached the door but didn't have the key to open it.

With all that I've learned about Psychedelic Therapy, I feel that this would be one of the best way's for me to be able to open that door and open my mind to help me continue to improve myself. The thing is that trying to find someone experienced in this practice has become extremely difficult (especially in my area). I'm willing to try both substances on my own but I believe that having a guide there is the best way to tackle this head on.

So this brings me to my question, If you are someone that has been lucky enough to have this experience, what are the benefits that you have been able to take away from this?/What negative experiences (if any) have you had since trying this?
