Altered States
Humans have long used non-ordinary states of consciousness for insight, healing, and personal growth. These states can be accessed through psychedelic substances, but also through non-pharmacological practices like meditation, breathwork, or trance.
Such experiences can be both profound and challenging, often raising complex emotional or existential questions. My approach emphasises education, harm reduction, and thoughtful integration—so that these states can become genuinely therapeutic and transformational.
If you’d like to begin exploring altered states through breathwork and meditation, you can access 14 daily practices below.
