For centuries, music has been a key component in spiritual rituals and ceremonies, serving as a guide to unlock deeper emotional, mental, and even mystical experiences. But when it comes to psychedelic therapy, the role of music becomes even more profound.
East Forest, known for his meditative and therapeutic soundscapes, shares his insights on how music can shape, support, and enhance the psychedelic experience. Drawing from his years of experience working with plant medicine ceremonies, he explains how the right frequencies and melodies can help individuals navigate the unpredictable nature of altered states of consciousness.

During the conversation, we explore how music can deepen emotional processing, open pathways to hidden memories, and facilitate states of surrender, allowing individuals to let go of their ego-driven defenses. 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.
East Forest also touches on the psychological and neurological impact of music in these expanded states of awareness. 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.
