Psychedelic integration coaching from Earth Dream is led by Danny O’Malley, who has been a student of plant medicine for nearly two decades, and is the author of The Earth Dream Guide to Psychedelic Journeys: A Preparation and Integration Guide.

This is what Danny has to say about this offering:

Integration is often talked about as the most crucial aspect of a psychedelic experience, yet it’s often the part that is the most challenging to implement. Part of the reason for this is that many people don’t really know what integration is. In my experience leading monthly integration circles, I’ve noticed that many experienced psychonauts still have a rudimentary understanding of how to work with their visionary experiences and ground them in their daily lives. This is understandable; after all, experiencing the ineffable can be equally as complex to remember and even more challenging to know what to do with. We are often awestruck by our psychedelic experiences, but without a method of grounding them, it’s easy for the distilled truths and insights to slip into the rearview mirror.

This is where Earth Dream’s integration coaching program steps in. Our style is based on trusting the wisdom of the body, exploring somatic expression, authentic movement, storytelling, and practical methods of bringing the numinous into your daily life. Our nature-based approach allows you to feel grounded as you process and work with the insights gained from a psychedelic session.

  • One full hour to receive, reflect, and restore.

    We’ll begin with a short talk in which you can share as much or as little as you like. We can discuss any physical, mental, or energetic concerns you may have. However, if you prefer not to disclose, the reiki is not lessened in any way. Reiki is like pouring water on soil; it will flow where it is needed regardless of the information shared.

    The session itself will take place on a massage table. Once you are comfortable, I will connect to the energy and begin at your head. Generally light touch is used, but if you prefer no touch that is fine as well. A session will usually follow the top-down flow, however I may re-visit a spot or combine spots if I am guided to. Reiki will flow throughout the body during each placement. Like water against a dam there may be areas of blockage. The energy may work to dislodge the blockage, or it may just find a way around. By doing several hand placements over the entire body, we ensure that the entire body is receiving energy. I will end by holding both feet at the same time for a grounding, and I will let you know when I am finished.

    There are many sensations that can be felt during a session. You may feel light tingling, warmth, buzzing, throbbing, or just deep relaxation. Some people may experience imagery or visions. You may feel like yawning or falling asleep. Anything you are feeling is welcomed, and even sleeping does not diminish the effectiveness of the reiki.

    When we are finished, it may take a few minutes for you to feel like you want to get off the table. Reiki provides deep relaxation so letting yourself slowly come out of this state is helpful. When you’re ready we will spend a few minutes chatting about your session.

    Afterward you may feel tired, grounded, centered or energized. You may notice sensations or emotions coming to the surface for hours or days. Pay attention to them and take note of any insights that seem significant to you. Journaling and/or doodling can be very beneficial to gain clarity and integrate your experience. It’s good to spend some quiet time after your session to let these things come to the surface more readily. Make sure to drink plenty of water to hydrate your energy system and keep it moving at an optimum rate.
