Before You Sit With the Medicine: 5 Grounding Questions to Ask Yourself

Preparation is everything. Whether you’re new to entheogens or returning to the work, these questions will help align your intention with your healing.

Entheogens aren’t shortcuts. They’re amplifiers.

They won’t save you, fix you, or give you something you don’t already carry.

But they will peel back your layers, confront your shadows, and invite deep transformation—if you meet them with intention.

And that transformation begins before the ceremony ever starts.

🌿 5 Questions to Ground Your Intention:

1. What am I actually seeking?Is it clarity? Relief? Connection? Healing? Know the true desire behind your curiosity—it creates an anchor when the experience gets intense.

2. Am I willing to be shown something uncomfortable?The medicine doesn't cater to comfort. It reveals. Can you surrender control for the sake of truth?

3. Have I created safety in my life to hold what may come up?Integration starts with your environment. Are you supported emotionally, physically, and energetically to process whatever arises?

4. What is my relationship with control?Control is the first thing many medicines will challenge. Are you trying to steer the experience—or open to being changed by it?

5. Who am I doing this for?Yourself? Your ego? Someone else's expectations? Make sure this path is yours. Medicine taken for the wrong reasons can create more confusion than clarity.

You don’t need to have perfect answers.

But asking the right questions creates a container the medicine can work within.

Go in humble.

Come out honest.

And above all—stay present.

Keep evolving. The next version of you is always one choice away.
