Microdosing

A path of gentle opening, steady remembering, and sacred dialogue with yourself

THE MICRODOSIS BRAIN HEALTH PROTOCOL

I have been working with psychedelic medicine in ritual by exploring altered states of consciousness for over two decades.

My approach is rooted in Indigenous reciprocity. It is fundamental for you to learn who you trust your process of healing. Trust isn’t something I ask for. It’s something I’ve earned—slowly, over years, through the way I show up for people again and again. I’ve spent years guiding individuals and groups through journeys—locally, nationally, internationally. I’ve watched people arrive guarded, or exhausted, or unsure. And I’ve watched what happens when they’re met with consistency, competence, and compassion. They return. They bring their partners, their friends, their relatives. Because trust grows through patterns, and my pattern has never changed: I show up the same way every time—clear, prepared, grounded, and present.

Microdosis refers to the practice of taking a very small amount of a psychedelic substance in our case, psilocybin, in order to achieve subtle effects.

Too little and there won’t be any results, but too much and your day may become a bit too colorful.  The dose should never impair cognitive function. Evidence from observational and scientific studies suggests that microdosing with psilocybin, the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, can improve cognitive function and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, PTSD, behavioral issues, ancestral and generational trauma; while enhancing your own creative skills and capabilities; showing you the way to a more fulfilling, joyful life.

• Psilocybin stimulates neurogenesis, encouraging the growth of new neurons and the formation of new neural pathways.

• It increases Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein that supports learning, memory, and mental flexibility—helping to break free from old thought loops, limiting beliefs, and emotional conditioning.

• Psilocybin enhances communication between different regions of the brain, especially between the default mode network (DMN), limbic system, and prefrontal cortex.

• This leads to:

  • Less overactivity in the DMN, which is linked to excessive self-criticism, anxiety, and depression.

  • More connection between logical and emotional processing, supporting deeper emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

• Psilocybin acts on serotonin receptors (5-HT2A), which regulate mood, emotions, and overall well-being.

• Regular microdosing can help:

  • Lift depressive states and create a sense of lightness and presence.

  • Reduce anxiety and emotional reactivity, allowing for a more grounded approach to life.

  • Unblock suppressed emotions in a gentle, non-overwhelming way, facilitating integration and healing.

• By interrupting compulsive thought cycles and increasing mindfulness, psilocybin can help break addictive behaviors, emotional loops, and unconscious habits.

• It promotes a shift in perspective, making it easier to recognize patterns and choose different responses.

• Many report increased clarity, problem-solving abilities, and a more fluid way of thinking with microdosing.

• Creativity is boosted as the brain makes new connections between ideas and experiences, allowing for deeper insights and expanded perspectives.

• Psilocybin helps dissolve the illusion of separation, fostering greater empathy, presence, and a sense of interconnectedness with nature, the body, and the world around us.

• It can support a more embodied, heart-centered way of living, deepening spiritual connection and alignment.

In this sacred process:

• We walk with intention, guided by the rhythms of your own body and life.

• We work in reciprocity with the spirit of the Niños Santos, honoring their lineage and cultural roots.

• We create a safe and grounded container, where integration is as important as the experience itself.

• We open space for emotional release, nervous system regulation, and spiritual insight without overwhelm.

Microdosing can support the healing of old wounds, the easing of anxiety or depression, the awakening of creativity, and the restoration of trust in life’s unfolding. It is not a quick fix, but a slow, steady reweaving of your relationship to yourself, your purpose, and the living world.

WORDS FROM our MICRODOSIS PATIENTS:

“Adela is a knowledgeable, warm, loving, supportive presence in your journey of health and inner reflection.  Her deep background in traditions and medicine practices from a variety of cultures and systems provides you with a framework to choose the modalities that speak to you.  

And if you are not local to her, she keeps in contact from afar and is there to help as you navigate your healing.  The resources she provides and recommends allow you to delve deeper into the medicinal systems, to understand on a variety of levels how the traditional ways worked with plant medicine, what view of the world and universe they held and to dive deep into the systems she works with.”

“I believe that taking care of yourself should always come first! When I started attending retreats with Adela, it was on a macro level through ceremony. The benefits of this magic medicine would carry on with me for days and sometimes weeks. I would tell Adela that I don’t ever want this beautiful & loving feeling to go away. She suggested that I start micro-dosing. I am about to finish my first month now, and cannot say enough about the benefits I have experienced after such a short period of time. The measures of connectedness, contemplation, creativity, focus, happiness, productivity, and wellbeing are just a few to mention and that I have experienced thus far. I cannot Thank Adela enough for introducing me to this fascinating medicine which not only promotes self-exploration but also cognitive enhancement. I will definitely keep exploring with psilocybin and will continue my regime to see what else it can heal.”
