“Coming into that space of love versus fear is what dissolves that separateness. It’s the same thing that psychedelics can do, where all of a sudden, the I, the one, the only me, my experience dissolves, and you sit in this space where you are one with everything. That becomes a doorway that can enhance your practice. You don’t have to do psychedelics at all; you can practice, and we know just through a practice you can wire your mind and have positive neuroplasticity and change it.“ – Dr. Nicole Tetreault
