Microdosing Guidance
A Gentle Path of Awareness & Integration
What is Microdosing?
Microdosing is the intentional use of very small, sub-perceptual doses of psilocybin to support mental clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and spiritual insight without hallucinations or impairment.
General Protocols:
(These are the most common cycles used by experienced practitioners)
1-On / 2-Off Cycle (Fadiman Method)
Dose on Day 1, then pause for Days 2 and 3
Repeat every third day
Suggested Duration: 4-6 weeks, followed by 2-4 weeks off
4-Days On / 3-Days Off (Stamets Stack Inspired)
Dose for 4 consecutive days, then pause for 3
Commonly paired with Lion’s Mane and niacin
Suggested Duration: 2-4 weeks, followed by at least 1 week off
Tips for Microdosing Practice:
Track changes in mood, energy, creativity, focus, emotional triggers, or somatic awareness
Avoid alcohol or heavy stimulants during cycles
Do not increase dose impulsively let subtle shifts unfold
Honor integration: true insight often arises in the stillness between doses
This is not therapy, but it can be a beautiful companion to therapy, meditation, or spiritual practice
Safety Reminders:
Not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding
Do not operate vehicles or machinery while dosing
Do not mix with SSRIs, MAOIs, or psychiatric medication unless advised by a licensed provider
This is not a treatment for mental illness, always consult a trusted professional if in crisis
Start low. Go slow. Listen deeply.
Sacred plants ask for reverence, not control.
This is not a recreational practice. It’s a form of sacred listening.
