If you're considering ketamine therapy, you may have a lot of questions and ask yourself:

How will it affect me? 

What are the risks? 

What should I expect? 

How will I feel?

Preparing for you journey

Psychedelics have the potential to create powerful and life-changing experiences. Ketamine is no exception. If you're thinking about starting your ketamine journey, there are a few things you should know.

First and foremost, it's important to set intentions for your experience. What do you hope to gain from using ketamine? Clarity on a specific issue? A deeper understanding of yourself? A sense of peace or well-being? Once you have a clear idea of what you want to get out of the experience, you can begin to prepare mentally and emotionally.

Next, remember you're here to explore and gain insights into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; embrace them! Mindset is power!  We encourage positive thoughts entering into your first ketamine infusion. If you do encounter thoughts of anger, sadness, or uncomfortable emotions during your ketamine journey, just remember they are not there to harm you but to enlighten you. By keeping an open mind, you will be able to get the most out of your ketamine experience and come away with a greater understanding of yourself. 

Your ketamine infusions are designed to facilitate inner exploration, where you'll dive into your own mind.  Embrace this exploration, the goal isn't to focus on anything specific but embrace what comes up.

Always remember, YOU ARE SAFE!  At BioFuse, we are here to support you through your ketamine journey.  Before and after your ketamine infusions, we will ensure you are receiving the appropriate dose.  During your infusions, you will be in your own private room with individually selected calming music to enhance your journey.

The ketamine journey can be intense, but it can also be incredibly enlightening. We encourage you to practice a classic psychedelic mantra that will help guide you: trust, let go, be open.

Trust

As you embark on your ketamine journey, it is important to trust your own innate wisdom. Trust you have the skills and natural abilities to make it through this experience safely. Trust this is a safe space provided for you to explore. The people around you are there to help you if you need it. Trust them, and trust yourself, to get through this ketamine experience.

Let Go

It's important to let go of any expectations or preconceived notions about what should or shouldn't happen. Instead, trust that the ketamine will guide you to wherever you need to go.

There's no need to worry or be anxious about what's happening - just relax and let ketamine take you on a journey of self-discovery. You may find yourself exploring new and unfamiliar territory, but it's all part of the process. Remember, there's nothing to fear and nothing to control - just let go and enjoy the ride.

Be Open

No matter what ketamine journey you find yourself on, it is always ok. Sometimes the hardest and scariest parts of the experience can be the most eye-opening and transformative. So stay open, trust your ketamine journey, and know that everything that is happening is completely and utterly OK.
