Fantastic, thanks for taking the time to check it out. I am so motivated to help make it possible for patients to have these options to consider when faced with debilitating disorders like depression. I use mindfulness training to guide patients away from the loop that occurs in the default mode network currently, to optimize their safety awareness, problem solving, body awareness to help out with rehabilitation program and it has fantastic impacts for those that seek to utilize it. The longer-term effects observed with psychedelic-assisted therapies is extremely promising for sustaining improved quality of life for patients, which could help relieve some of the strain on overburdened health providers that treat populations like veterans or the elderly.
I am looking forward to more discussions as well!
Yes, there is also research from Milan Scheidegger which shows that psychedelics can also increase mindfulness. So there probably is some overlap between psychedelic and mindful states, but I'm not a mindfullness expert per se.
