Got any reccommendations for clearing your head? Been having some trouble lately, my thoughts tend to be too loud which keeps me from focusing and my pupils from dilating

Remember that no thoughts are bad thoughts.
A good way to clear your mind is going back to baseline. You can go out for a walk in nature if there's a nice sun out, submerge yourself in water to only have your mouth and nose above the water so you can observe and breathe to clear your head.
There's lots of things one can do to gain that 'empty' and peaceful state.
Simply drinking a glass of water and getting your breathing rhythm in check can solve the problem. So can writing down your thoughts and observing them while once again keeping mind's eye on your breathing to really gather the context of these thoughts, and then ultimately clearing them from your head.

You can also talk about them with someone you trust, have a conversation about the topics that surface in order to dismantle them and ultimately clear the thoughts completely.

A good thing to keep in mind is reducing ambient noise, a dim light, relaxing music (or none), breathing in through your nose and out your mouth in a calm, rhythmic way. And remember that you are in control of your thoughts, not the other way around.

I'll come back on this topic later anyways, as it's a fundamental step to attaining a zen state of mind.

Remember that posture is a very important aspect of your well-being, try to be increasingly aware of your body as you go through life. Stretching and strengthening every area as you explore your martial prowess. Join yoga classes if you can!

Dumping more later, now consuming breakfast.

Shameless self-bump.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of a fateful psilocybin mushroom trip at the Sallandse Heuvelrug in the Netherlands.
Today I will be there again with a ridiculously high dose, aimed at innawoods meditation.

Psychedelic meditation is a grand journey on its own.

Trip was pretty great.

Have an old dog that's scared of death and the trip was dedicated to leading him through it.

Our experience here on planet Earth, the human experience.

What we're having is a giant sandbox experience as the soul met brain and body, and the ethics that come with it.
