- Episode 31 - Intention Setting With No Intention: Soul TravelingWelcome to your weekly dose of The Psychedelic Psychologist. This week I go off script, and in part one of a two part segment we meet Tyler who is preparing for a session. We talk about his intentional setting; specifically, how he starts to remove himself from daily activities. First by feeling tired he starts the process of going internal. He explains the feeling of his "souls" desire to fly. We are candid in our conversation around the difference of this being in a reflective state and not depression or suicidal thoughts. Tyler paints a rather interesting perspective with his intention setting, the more he has created his ritual using these medicines the more he is finding value in not setting a clear intention.
