There’s growing scientific interest in the effects of psychedelics on consciousness, and a new study suggests that even one psychedelic experience can significantly change how we perceive consciousness in both living and non-living things. This resonates deeply with the ideas in shamanism, where altered states of mind are often seen as gateways to spiritual insights.
