East Forest, known for his meditative and therapeutic soundscapes, shares his insights on how music can shape, support, and enhance the psychedelic experience.

Music, East Forest explains, acts as a bridge between the conscious mind and the deeper realms of the psyche, helping participants access insights and healing that might otherwise be inaccessible. The discussion delves into the importance of intentionality when choosing music for psychedelic therapy and how certain tones and instruments resonate with specific chakras, influencing energy flow and emotional release.

The role of rhythm, harmony, and silence are discussed as essential tools for guiding the psychedelic process. The importance of ceremonial intention and presence, along with the power of surrender to the flow of sound, are highlighted as keys to fully benefiting from the experience.
