    As an alternative to psychedelics, you can reach the same states through meditation. With modern techniques you won’t even need to sit under a tree for 49 days.

      technically you can but that’s going to take you roughly 100 times longer and might not work at all

      Look, I did not plant this bodhi tree for the fun of it, I’ll take my 49 days!

      But also any links to meditation advice is appreciated

        My personal advice is: Making meditation a habit is the main hurdle. Set the bar of success so low you can trip over it, such as “I will meditate at least 3 minutes a day”.

        And for more what you seem to be after, you can’t go wrong with the Gateway tapes. They’re some guided meditations with a fancy audio technique that helps your brain tune to the desired mental frequency. This is a good place to start: r/gatewaytapes/wiki/start but I wouldn’t recommend browsing the subreddit unless you want your experience to be influenced by the sub’s communal lore.

        If you’d like I can send you a link to a drive folder with the files if you don’t want to pay.
