New scientific research shows combining psilocybin with meditation can help people feel better if they have depression and burnout after COVID-19. At Conscious Pharmacist, we use meditation together with psilocybin therapy during our retreats and as part of our integration coaching. This makes our programs unique and especially helpful for mental health and healing.
Psilocybin and Mindfulness for Depression
A new scientific study from the University of Utah Health and published in PLOS Medicine looked at 25 healthcare workers working with COVID patients who had depression and burnout. They received either only meditation or meditation plus one psilocybin session in a group setting. Results were clear: almost half (46%) of the group using both meditation and psilocybin no longer had depression two weeks later, compared to just 8% in the meditation-only group. These workers also felt less emotional exhaustion and more connection with themselves and others.

The difference speaks to a deeper truth: That, sometimes, meditation ALONE is simply not enough to get us out of deep ruts. That, sometimes, we need to activate an allyship with an ancient medicine that, historically, we have relied on to help us break out of OURSELVES.
Meditation can regulate, sure, but psychedelics often help us renovate the entire structure of our existence!

Group Therapy Makes Psilocybin More Accessible
The researchers used group therapy for psilocybin, which makes treatment easier and less expensive than individual therapy. This way, more workers can get help at the same time. The group approach also shows that psilocybin is safe and helpful when managed by trained professionals, especially when combined with a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program.
