Microdosing + movement w/ Sero

Microdosing psilocybin mushrooms is becoming more commonplace for those looking to elevate their mental health, improve their focus and support a journey of overall well-being. We chatted with Canadian microdose formula brand, Sero, all about microdosing and the promising evidence it’s exhibiting as a natural alternative to pharmaceutical solutions for common pain points of the modern-day person.

All about microdosing

Firstly, what is microdosing? Microdosing is the act of regularly consuming low, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic. Long-term microdosing has been reported to improve mood, increase energy, boost creativity, relieve troubling or emotional menstrual periods, lead to healthier choices and reduce anxiety + stress. And that’s just scratching the surface – there is new and evolving research continuously being explored to support the magic in this plant medicine and its role in not just mental health but chronic pain, memory disorders, brain injury recovery and sleep.

The feeling of microdosing is described as subtle, yet noticeable; like feeling like yourself, but on a great day. It offers a gentle elevation of your state and can be used as a tool to catalyse your wellness goals. It’s common for microdosers to report that music sounds better, they’re more empathetic, energetic, connected to others, grounded, mindful, more aware of their surroundings and are able to stay on track with ease. Further, many microdosers report experiencing an "afterglow effect" the day immediately after a dose day, particularly around the introspective benefits.

Intention setting

Similar to entering into a yoga practice, setting an intention can go a long way in making the most of your microdosing protocol. What do you hope to get out of it today? More presence? Mindfulness? Improved mood or memory? To feel happier? Have better focus? Support a movement practice? These intentions will be deeply personal to your individual experience. Once you find your intention (or a few!), remind yourself of it daily.

Another introspective tool we love that similarly works with microdosing is journaling. Journaling creates an opportunity to document the effects you were intending to feel, the effects that may have surprised you, as well as any differences between dose days and non-dose days.

Microdosing, movement + mindfulness

Increasingly, microdosing mushrooms is being used to support physical performance and recovery from movement practices. Those that are looking to elevate their physical routines dose 30-60 minutes prior to starting them, up to five times per week. Increased motivation, sharpened senses and a psycho-energetic boost are all experienced effects of combining mushrooms and movement, supporting the doser by means of added endurance, determination and mental stamina.
