Guided meditation therapy provided me with all the benefits that are attributed to psychedelic therapy. It helped me let down my guard and make true progress. The benefits continue, years later. I'm still alive, and I probably wouldn't be without it. The psychedelics aren't necessary. It just appeals to people because everyone wants a magic cure. As an added bonus, it made achieving a meditative state much easier for me. Society is too preoccupied with the conscious mind. It's not meant to be running and in control all the time. Through meditation I've learned to communicate with my sub/unconscious mind. I can query it and it responds not with words, but more with feelings/emotions. It really kinda scared me the first time. Now, it is how I figure out what is really going on with me, what environmental factors are causing me malaise. I'm now extremely grateful for the challenges I faced, as I wouldn't have been forced to grow otherwise. I call it guided meditation therapy, but it is also know as hypnotherapy. I didn't use that name because I thought it would receive an immediate negative response from many here. There are quacks out there, but it doesn't invalidate the entire concept. A closed mind will ensure no mental health progress is made. I'm so glad mine was forced open.
