Tune Out, Turn Off, Drop In

Why Breathwork Might Be The Key To Mind Expansion In The 21st Century

I’ve done a lot of drugs.

Too many, perhaps.

But it would be disingenuous to say that all of them had a negative impact on my life.

Alcohol almost killed me, cocaine’s juice wasn’t worth the squeeze, and opiates never did it for me (thankfully) on the rare occasion that I experimented with them.

I’ve also run the gamut with psychedelics, and while the way in which I used them was not ideal from a therapeutic standpoint, I have to admit they changed my life for the better.

I’m not going to condone using illegal street drugs, especially not with fentanyl being so ubiquitous, but that doesn’t change the fact that LSD, psychedelic mushrooms, and ecstasy had a profound impact on me.

More profound than any other experience I’ve ever had.

Until now.

Dr. Timothy Leary rose to fame (and infamy) in the 1960s by touting the benefits of LSD and coining the phrase “Tune in, turn on, drop out.” It was a rallying cry for those who sought to expand their minds and thumb their nose at the establishment.
