Two days ago, I experienced a major breakthrough in my journey with psilocybin mushrooms—a moment that shifted everything I thought I knew about these sacred experiences. This wasn’t just another trip; it was Level 10, the culmination of years of inner work and personal evolution.
For the longest time, music was my guide during these journeys. Carefully crafted playlists served as a foundation, anchoring me through the ebbs and flows of the experience. They brought comfort, focus, and beauty to what can sometimes be a chaotic realm of exploration. I even created MushroomPlaylist.com, a collection of these soundscapes for others to use on their journeys. Each trip was a level, like advancing in a game—Level 1, Level 2, and so on.
But this time, something profound happened.
As I prepared for my Level 10 trip, I followed my usual routine: crafting the ultimate playlist, setting intentions, and preparing my space. Yet, within minutes of the mushrooms taking effect, I felt a strong intuition—turn the music off.
I hesitated at first. Music had always been a lifeline, a way to keep my mind in a positive frequency, to guide me back if things got challenging. But something inside me said, You don’t need this anymore.
So I did it. I turned the music off, leaving only silence.
For five hours, I sat in pure stillness. No music, no distractions—just me and my mind, illuminated by the soft glow of a few candles. What could have been daunting or overwhelming turned out to be one of the the most blissful and profound experiences of my life.
Silence truly is the ultimate teacher.
This moment didn’t happen by chance. Over the past few weeks, thanks to Danny Miranda, I’ve been deepening my meditation practice, sitting in silence for 30 minutes daily. I now see how those sessions prepared me for this breakthrough—a five-hour meditation on mushrooms that felt like an initiation into a new way of being.
In the video, I share the full story of my Level 10 trip, including an extraordinary serendipitous moment near the end of the journey. It was as if the universe gifted me the perfect ending to this extraordinary experience.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sit in silence on mushrooms or how to navigate the deeper layers of yourself, this video is for you.
