There's a concept in yoga of taking your practice "off the mat" with you. The enlightened stated that psychedelics can help you reach has a similar mechanism requirement for learning; in order to take yoga off the mat with you and back into "regular life" - means you can't be practicing yoga all the time. This also means that there's work to do outside of the psychedelics if you're wanting to bring that enlightened state back with you. I see many people who become dependant on psychedelics aren't putting the work into other areas of healing themselves and healing, understanding, past trauma, and start to depend on the temporary release and excitement the psychedelic state brings them. A simple example of care that many people don't do a thorough enough job is cleaning up their diet to no longer eat food as entertainment, a distraction from their feelings, likewise to figuring out what foods irritate their nervous system and to stop eating those so they can be more grounded in their body, more fully connected to their nervous system.
