Microdosing can be used to support mental health, and exercise can be a very good addition to that. Exercise, of course, has always been important for good health. But certain forms of movement can be used to enhance your unique microdosing process. In this blog, we explain what is involved.
An important facet that often comes up during microdosing is body awareness. Microdosing can help get back into your body. Many people are so focused on the mental, are engaged daily in logical thinking and brooding. They lose connection with their bodies. In addition, trauma can also become lodged in the body.
Microdosing, where you take a very low dose of a psychoactive drug (such as magic mushrooms or truffles), is a way of making new connections in the brain. This can boost your creativity, concentration, inner peace and so it can also strengthen your connection with your body. This can create emotional freedom and release energy that you can put into discovering your own unique life path.
That microdosing can have mental health benefits also emerged from a review of 27 scientific studies (Psychiatrist.com, 2024). One caveat, however, was that there could be a placebo effect and not all studies were placebo controlled.
That exercise is good for your mental and physical well-being hardly needs explanation. Regular exercise can help lower stress and help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, research also shows (PMC 2023) Exercise promotes the production of neurotransmitters that have a positive effect on your mood.
The advantage of microdosing is that you can experience the special properties of a psychedelic drug without experiencing hallucinations or other disturbing effects. So there is no chance of a bad trip. Microdosing works gently and helps you discover your limits. It is important, however, that you find the dose that works for you; no specific dosage can be named in advance. Therefore, it is wise to start with a low dose.
Microdosing and movement can be healing for trauma and mental blocks. There are four types of movement you can apply:
These are exercises that give us space to stretch out. They create space and help us accept new possibilities. Examples include bending backwards, standing upright and stretching, jumping and making circles with your arms. They are all movements in which your body can feel the world as safe.
With these exercises, you bring the energy inside. You draw your boundaries and find your safety within. You feel safe within yourself and strengthen your inner strength. Examples of exercises include the child pose (sitting on your knees and bending forward with your arms forward or along your legs back), squatting with your arms around you or hugging a bolster or sandbag. These exercises can increase your sense of security and help you feel comfortable in your body. They bring peace.
When opening and shielding movements both feel good, you can move on to twisting movements. This connects security with opening. You can learn to release stored energy and reconnect with your body. Your boundaries can be pushed even further.
These are various exercises that help us strengthen our muscles, ground ourselves and generate energy. You can use all kinds of exercises, from sprinting to side bends to using weights.
Note: Microdosing is a personal experience and may affect your mental and physical health. It is strongly recommended that you consult with a doctor beforehand – especially if you are on medication, pregnant, nursing, or have a mental illness (such as bipolar disorder or predisposition to psychosis). That way you can be sure if microdosing is safe for you.
You choose the exercises by feel. You look at what you need and what fits your microdosing path. If you want to focus on a sense of security within yourself, then choose closed exercises. If you want to push your boundaries and have more space in your life, it’s time to open up.
It is recommended that you work with a routine, exercising 15 to 30 minutes daily. You can also use the exercises as a warm-up for your regular exercise routine. See what works best for you. You can do the exercises immediately after taking your microdose, as well as before you meditate or do other relaxation exercises or just before you go to sleep. Then be careful that your exercises are not too energetic, which can cause you to fall asleep less easily.
Microdosing and movement, doing exercises, together can strengthen and support your process. If you want to get started on this yourself, it’s easy. You don’t really need anything special for it. A yoga mat can be useful for exercises. Always consider your own physical capabilities. In case of pain or discomfort, you can modify or skip an exercise. Don’t put pressure on yourself that you must necessarily exercise every day. Microdosing is not about coercion or performance. It’s about wanting to follow your path and discover what’s inside of you. Microdosing can also be very well combined with yoga or breath work.
Also keep in mind that microdosing is safe in most cases, but not for everyone:
Therefore, always seek the advice of your doctor first to see if microdosing is right for you.
