I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with cptsd since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.

psilocybin single handedly saved my life. it's like an antidepressant and a therapist all in one. I decided to keep living.

Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.

Mushrooms to me are like counseling sessions where the counselor knows every single detail of your life.

Psilocybin mushroom has also shown effectiveness at easing fear and anxiety in people with terminal cancer.

Another tip for a trip. Give your trip a distinct intent. Try and give a strong association between the substance and your intention for taking the trip. "To explore myself". "To become more connected to those around me". Keep it short, probably one sentence. And focus strongly on that intention. I even look at the substance before taking it, bestowing this sort of strong association. Then consume the substance, and take a couple seconds to focus on your intention for the trip again. Then go about whatever you were going to do. Don't fret over it, it will work as a beautiful guide for your trip. It's choosing which direction you're going to roll the snowball down the hill. So choose wisely and genuinely. I feel this is never mentioned in psychedelic advice, and myself only sort of randomly thought up this helpful step before my last 3-4 trips. But those last ones were a spiritual and existential goldmines. Deep inner and outer deliberations on what exactly makes up the build of my "living existence". This does sort of fit into the set of your mind in set/setting. But I feel it is almost it's own important and distinct step because it is so powerful and influential on your journey

good or bad trip, your gonna learn so much about yourself if you do this

it's nice to hear someone discredit the pharmacological action of anti-depressants in an intelligent way.

Tried shrooms for the first time a week ago and had an amazing experience. I was battling bad depression due to being in the military and after taking the shrooms they opened my mind and released emotions I’ve had hidden for years. I feel much better mentally now.

every time he says "in my opinion" i hear "from my experience" :D

"We, as conscious beings on this planet, have the genetic obligation to never stop exploring and never stop learning about ourselves." Beautifully said.

Mushroom was good to me

very underrated talk

All world leaders should be "Required" to take it before taking office... let it be their "Oath of office"... what a wonderful world.

The best description I ever heard of acid was that it made the world feel like you were a kid again, I had no idea that science would find it to be true

Best thing is: You don't need to be sick to have benefitial effects of psychedelics usage :)

Got rid of sever depresion I had for 15 years with the help of these. ❤️🙏

Psychedelics used responsibly can unlock the psyche. They have helped me to get to the core of my neurotic depressive thinking. I will go on to become a strong leader for others with grace and compassion now.

been taking psilocibine for half a year, now i enjoy cooking myself insted of asking for delivery, i take more care about myself, my health, started the gym, change the coca cola for water, im more responsable at my work, im in a better mode and have a better relationship with others, and the best part, i dont even asked to do all those things, it just seams so easy to do all these things

psychedelics truly are beneficial. even if you have a bad trip your still gonna come away with a life changing message.

The loss of 'self' is one the most profound effects in my experience. That and the honesty and depth of the self-reflection. It's like you've become someone else but with access to all the memories and together that enables you to see who/what you really are and see/judge yourself from a third person perspective. That can be quite a sobering experience - all your faults laid bare - nothing is hidden. What you learn during this time is not easily forgotten after the experience, which is definitely a good thing - it can motivate you to change and become a better person. He's right about the intensity - it's an amazing experience but not one that you'd want to last too long or repeat too frequently. If you do, you'll soon find yourself longing for 'reality' again - and your old self. A bit like a trip to the theme park - some rides you may absolutely love, but that doesn't mean you'd want to stay on the ride all day long, every day of the week ....urghhh!

Psychedelics helped me with depression and social anxiety. its not a drug, its a tool!

Magic mushrooms gave me a meaning to my life. Best deep experience ever.

I cannot lie. Mushrooms took me from a bad place mentally, physically, and spiritually, and then put me into an amazing one. Without that experience I wouldn’t be where I am today in life.

10:53 that moment when acid kicks in

i had this experience, definitely woke me up ! tears were rolling down my face, probably one of the most influential nights of my life ...but i couldn't stop telling people about it , that's the only down side of having a life changing trip , you can't shut up about it, everyone just thinks your crazy ..

In my experiences I quite literally recall "thinking bigger" it was like my brain opened up and allowed a larger birds eye view of everything. I even visualized it with connections in my brain like wires, and how the words we speak are wireless transmissions of information and how that is really quite profound that we can understand (or at least interpret the experiences of others)

I agree with all you said. I've been through psychedelic experiences since the last 30 years, along with a regular Yoga and workout practice. There is so much to learn about life and meaning of life. Thanks God to have this opportunity in that life.

Near death experience woke me up, changed my life. Everything is Ultimately theory and no human being truly knows anything beyond that, we all have our own filter on reality in this illusion we call life.

I never knew about this my whole life. I strongly feel that me coming across this video today is a message from the Universe. 😌🍀❤️

Thank you so much for this highly researched information about the healthy, helpful, insightful, and life changing aspects of Psychedelics to help us humans connect with our divine energy and consciousness. May the world keep waking up!

Awesome talk, man. Really glad I found this. It's funny how many prosper and ancient civilizations used it and were much more spiritually evolved than us used psychedelics and now, we're farther then ever from these concepts, and the stigma continues... I can only imagine how must be an experience like that of psychedelics, and one day would like to try it when the time is right. I think it can be an incredible tool for our consciousness to use and evolve Thanks for the talk man, peace

while none of this information was new to me personally, It is vitally important that we lift the stigma associated with these symptoms, and I am really happy to see more of this sort of thing out there!

Extremely well spoken, these substances let you perceive yourself and life around you in a deeper sense.

I was given Prozac at 14 years old. I’m 28 now and something hasn’t been right since my mid teens. It shows as extreme generalized anxiety but I know that that isn’t my fate forever. I’m planning on using psilocybin mushrooms in the next 4-6 months and I am genuinely excited to feel like me again

Very well explained, grateful, thank you for spreading the word, onelove!

Psychedelics changed my life forever, they opened my mind and helped me find peace In myself and others ..

haha I love this guy. HIM: This is not a talk recommending psychedelics ALSO HIM: *recommends them with every fibre of his being* Stay woke, Simeon.

as someone who has taken LSD & mushrooms he is spot on about the trip, a truly unique experience that can potentially be quite frightening but you learn A LOT about yourself and about other people...

I had a very very bad Acid trip a few years ago which lead to PTSD a few months later. I believe it was because I straight away took MDMA after my Acid trip and didn't give my brain time to deal with what had just happened to me. It all began when I watched Waking Life one night and it triggered me to re-live the feelings I had in the trip. I began to shake and cry and convulse with fear on the floor of my bedroom floor. I had no idea what was happening to me - all I perceived was an intense flood of fear of just 'being' itself. I was so scared to keep living and even more scared of death. I had around 7 panic attacks daily for about 6 months. Life lost all meaning for me and the only thing that helped was meditative breathing techniques. No amount of consoling from my partner, family or friends made any difference and the world around me seemed like an alien universe. I questioned everything and lost any desire to do the things I loved. I saw a psychologist but she was no help and all day I researched what could possibly be happening to me. I was so scared I had ruined my life and desperately looked for an answer. Nobody understood the hell I was living every day and I felt so alone. Slowly I forced myself to start painting again. It really helped me and gave my overactive mind something to focus on that was calming. That and reading about the brain and reading books on Buddhism, understanding the brain and the mind. Over time I began to develop techniques for keeping the fear at bay. Now when I feel that specific existential fear come up (which is extremely rare) instead of letting it take over, I look at it almost like a box, I recognise it is there and I choose not to open it. It then goes away. I am now a totally different person than I was before the panic attacks. A much better person. Going through this experience helped me in so many ways and I am grateful for it. I have far less fear in my every day life and the social anxiety which I had my whole life is near non existent. I am far more confident and much stronger. I deal with things in life much better and I look forward to starting my day as opposed to sleeping in until 12:00 like I used to. I started my own business and care less about how I appear to others. I also have a lot more compassion for others and understand what it is like to extremely suffer. I believe that psychedelics are very very powerful tools and must be respected. I would not take back what happened and I hope that one day the legal use of plant medicines will help people. I also believe that we often grow through great adversity and our brains need a big kick up the arse sometimes to truely change. I write this in hopes that if anyone else is experiencing what I went through they may read it and know not to give up hope of being normal and happy again. I see this experience now as a gift.

Wow ! What an absolute gem 💎 of a talk this was ❤ I started micro dosing magic 🪄 mushrooms 🍄 a few weeks ago and i truly never felt better in my life ! Thanks 🙏 to simeon for speaking the truth and help others human being feel better about themselves and others…. Priceless

I took mushrooms tonight ☺️ ive had the best time with myself.... so peaceful and relaxed with who I truely are... this trip has shown me my complete journey with self.

THANK YOU SIMEON KEREMEDCHIEV!!! VERY WELL SAID IN WRAPPING UP YOUR TALK

Great talk, Simeon. Thank you!

Excellent presentation! With the appropriate setting, psychodelics provide you with the tools to make yourself a more enlightened and productive person, period.

I really enjoyed this video. It contains all of the information of a bunch of other separate videos. Wish I found this one first. Thank you! This Friday will be my first experience, in a controlled and safe environment with a Shaman.

I've always explained tripping on shrooms as "feeling like you're five again" and also that it's a "reset button." It's amazing that what I intuited, the science backs up!

Entheogenic healing and insight should not be underestimated! Much love&light from California.

I smoked DMT last Friday. I have not smoked nicotine since and I was a pack a day smoker. I tried NRT, Hypnosis and Champix (Varenicline) but DMT has made it work. I do get feelings that I am missing nicotine, but the higher centres of my brain are in full control now. I am not recommending anybody take DMT to cure nicotine addiction but I am recommending researching DMT for nicotine addiction.

Brilliant Talk. Really captures multiple critical points that best describes . He says '18:42' "these are just words these are the experiences that people have reported thus indescribable these are just references for you to grab something to get hold on between " The Irony is to actually get good the impact from the video, you need to have experienced it yourself.

makes me very emotional when i watch this video , mushrooms changed my life ... 😍🍄🌎🌙💫

I have been through a lot of bad situations in life that have taken their toll, childhood, military family issues. Can honestly day that I feel like psychedelics have helped me a lot. I feel like I have been able to deal with a lot of issues that I couldn't get my head around or move on from and I feel like my outlook has changed on things and my life.

"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven"

This is one of the best videos on psychedelic substance out there, with our job to educate people to let them know that this stuff is actually medicine it's helping people and it has helped people since pre-recorded history there's a reason it's here there's a reason that we're so attracted to these magical substances that take us to new heights the take us to new Realms that take us to New Dimensions of ourselves

We need to go back into studying psychs on humans

weed helped me snap out of my depression, come up with innovative ideas to turn my life around. Though it comes with heavy responsibility, weed consumption literally helps me appreciate what I have

This helps explains a lot of Alan Watts' narratives to me. Great explanation very informative and concise.

I just had my first Ayahuasca experience last weekend which consisted of 3 ceremonies. This was the most outstanding and most significant thing I've ever done in my life! I gained deep insights into my subconsciousness, found the root of my anxiety and felt extreme love, extreme sadness and extreme emotional pain. Ayahuasca is a teacher, a medicine and a tool with a great healing potential. Not a drug. I'll take it again!

Had a crazy trip and he's spot on about everything I felt at around 16:50

I seen flowers at night that were literally glowing.1 of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

absolute greatness! much respect!

I'm coming out of my seat with excitement with the facts, I mean, it's undeniable truth and it deserves to be shared, this kind of information!! Its time to get our facts straight, especially if you're affected by mental health challenges, depression, addiction, etc.. there's a huge problem in the way we treat addiction, very outdated, and we're being Told what to do, not the other way around. It's time for a real positive change, folks..

I ENJOYED THIS TALK SO MUCH . THANK YOU!!

If you want to do this, make sure you know how to relax, handle pain and accept yourself.

"Recreational" - Sure a psychedelic trip can be anything but rest but the word "re-creational" actually fits it very well in my opinion. When taking a psychedelic trip one is to make a profound experience. Therefore the patterns of thinking and perceiving are about to change, they re-create.

Admirations for the presentation. I will be glad if we start a movement in Bulgaria about this. I currently live in the Netherlands and I'm microdosing. I'm doing this for 2 months now and I have the best results than years of trying different things.

It has been life changing for me and all my clients as well.

Great talk! He seems nervous but he has great information to share

Spread the word

I wish there was a way to more than like this. It's such important information so often denied to the public

Love everything he’s saying. Wish he’d take a breath.

This dude has more to say than he is saying there. Understandable, that he holds back, but sad, that we still have to hold back in front of so many people with this most important thing....

on a shroom trip come down while I listen to this, pretty eye opening.

The use of Psychedelics has pushed me to learn more about the world and myself including pushing me to move forward in education and social obligations. Can't describe the positive impact psychedelics can have on a person, their well being and the relationships they have with others.

This is one of the best videos on psilocybin thanks for the info🍄🌍❤️

Truly amazing talk. I feel your passion through my screen. It makes me happy to read such positive comments. If you're reading this. Hi :) lol

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

This is an amazing and thorough share Kat!!! Thank you for covering so much and offering your wisdom

What a great speech so informative, so documented and personal. Thanks for share.

As in unlearning muscle memory, being able to maneuver outside of the self programed neurological pathways seems like a the next logical step in evolution.

i have tripped a few times. EVERYTHING becomes theatre. Extremely eye opening. In a positive way. Everything seems to become very simplistic and personal potential just becomes surreal. Attention to detail is WOW

One of the best speakers ever! Talent. Bravo!

18:00 I experienced all of this. Highly recommend to be around your true friends or someone who will take care of you throughout the process.

It’s been 15 + years for me, I need to jump back in and get my head right again.

Powerful Simeon Keremedchiev!

Outstanding presentation. Thank you sir! 🙏🏻

I'll tell you one thing I noticed, there's no hiding anything on mushrooms, you will have to surrender give in , anything suppressed will surface and you're face to face what truly eats at you I'm speaking on my personal experience dealing with greif loosing my only teenage daughter, it helps and I've just started the healing process....

People afraid of bad trips clearly never got severely depressed. You will do anything to get out of that dark cloud. A bad trip may even sound good to experience another kind of storm. I've been locked at home for days unable to do anything due to an extreme case of anxiety-depression that even gets me to faint. I would eat a bucket of shrooms right now if i had them.

Tedx stupendo!!! Complimenti!!!!!!

"Bad" trips are the BEST trips. The harder they are the happier I am because I learn so much. They are absolutely life changing.....

I had the most life changing experience on mushrooms. Thank u for this talk. . .p.s. love your accent

Bad trips are the best in my opinion. They break you down, kill your ego. And you build yourself back a better person, sometimes at the end of the experience. Sometimes after the trip. I personally love bad trips better than good trips. Everyone should do mushrooms at least twice a year.

I was sitting with my friend Abhiram and we where having a conversation about a movie and its dialog about magic mushrooms. And thats how i got here. I have meditated for for almost 6months because of depression i had .In order to find cure to it i have stumbled up on all the postive experience such as , realising well being .Yoga and meditation has different dimensions to explore all with intellectual. out of the box thinking and figuring out whether its true or not its is main power (well an 20 and i know there is more dimensions to be explored) . Its like you have unlocked this hidden skill for thinking capability and self confidence 'ahangaram in sanskrit' with this skills you will unlock the power to take control of all your decisions and you will start dreaming more intensely and vividly but you have to be vegen to begin this experience. All the things from this research i have gained just through 6 months of meditation mainly well being and satisfaction more maturity . But i have never tried magic shrooms before . But i am sure it has to be taken seriously and only by adults.

Amazing talk. Don't see why such videos don't trend in KZfaq

I microdose psilosybe cubensis daily .25 to .5 4 times a year I go on an enlightenment quest 3.5+ and it has truly saved my life. Negativity no longer matters.

microdosing shrooms helped my life instantly. i had a ed and was on the verge of living thru my eyes but not really seeing whats infront of me. i 100% stand by micro dosing, it made me live clearly again 💗 spiritually+ mentally for the better. but, with microdosing be ready to learn stuff about yourself bad and good, but know its all a lesson for the greater being of urself 🌬

Thank you! 🕉 These were some deeply inspiring things you shared & I needed to hear them right when I came upon this video by semi-chance (probably a clever KZfaq-algorithm 😉) Keep up the important good work! ☮️

Such a good speaker
