Journal Prompts for Microdosing 

Questions to ask yourself, as you investigate your intention:

What is the most alive thing for me (in the present), both energetically and emotionally?

A major decision to make?

Understanding patterns of anger?

Working on anxiety, or an addiction?

What do I want to get from this experience?


Why am I even doing this?


What do I want to work on?

What kind of joy do I want to experience?

What is blocking my joy?


What’s holding me back?

What pieces of myself or my life need some love or improvement?

What do I want to cultivate?

Keep this in mind: attention over improvement.

On setting an intention:


Keep it simple. One word or a phrase will do.


Make a mantra — that seems to help people have easy access to their intentions

Try not to let shame or self-judgment keep you from setting the intention that's most true to you at this moment in your life.

Intentions are tied to a desire to live your life in a certain way in the present moment and in the
future. They are not necessarily attached to a certain outcome rather a spectrum or possibilities.

An intention might be "I want to bring more compassion to my family and myself" or "What fear am I holding on to?"

Your intention can be a word such as “trust” or “relax," a short sentence, or a question.

A quick note on cultivating your set:

Ask yourself: Am I ready to make changes that the plant medicine may help me realize I need? Who in my life will serve as my support system?
Be sure to reflect more on your tools, support network, and how you deal with stress.

These medicines open and connect us with often old and repressed feelings, sensations and memories—is this something you are ready for? 

A few notes on INTEGRATION:

Integration is when you start understanding your experience and the potential meaning it has for you—and then you may incorporate the teachings from your psychedelic experiences into your everyday life.

Integration is not just a tool, but an attitude toward life.

Use tools like journaling, music or body work to stay in the head and heart space you were in
while microdosing—especially if you’re going to take a tolerance break.

Be conscientious about cultivating the time and space to do this—schedule it into your calendar.


Ask yourself when you’re not microdosing, how connected am I to the experience?

How much time and space am I still carving out to keep that process moving?

Like any relationship, how much time, investment, and presence you bring to it will influence how it will look and feel.

Integration is not a linear process.

Accept what the experience offered you—even if it was not what you expected or intended.
Get curious about the relationship between fear and love: Often what shows up teaches us
about our intention but potentially not in how we were imagining or expecting.

What doesn’t seem connected is often very connected, yet we can’t see it.

This is where educating ourselves with material from workshops and external relationships can be helpful.
