Can Psychedelic Experiences Reveal Hidden Dimensions of the Mind?

Psychedelic experiences can help us understand parts of our minds that we usually don’t see.

In a study from 2016, more than half (53%) of the people who tried psychedelics said they felt a lot better after using them.

Scientists have found that psilocybin, which is a natural compound in some mushrooms, can help different parts of our brains work better together. This is similar to what happens when we dream. Researchers used special brain scans called fMRI to show this.

Another survey showed that about 31% of people felt they gained deep insights about their thoughts and feelings while using psychedelics. This shows that psychedelics have the potential to help us explore different states of consciousness.
