There are many studies that suggest an overactive DMN can also cause depression. The often over-stimulated DMN can cause humans to overthink and often step out of the “now” to question the past or future. The DMN is a large network of interacting brain regions that are known to have activity highly correlated with each other and distinct from other networks in the brain. Microdosing can help users enter flow states due to its ability to dampen the effects of an often over-stimulated part of our brain, known as the “Default Mode Network” (DMN).
How To Achieve Flow State?įlow states can be achieved through practices such as meditation, yoga, sports, exercise, or mentally challenging yourself in some way and Microdosing psilocybin can aid in assisting this process. Alpha waves are the resting state of the brain and aid in calmness, alertness, integration of the mind/body and overall mental coordination. It is the mental state of feeling energized, focused, and fully involved in the performance of an activity also, simply known as “being in the zone.” When achieving a flow state, your brain drops from the Beta Wave thinking space and shifts toward Alpha oscillations. What Is Flow State and how can Microdosing help achieve entering a Flow State:Ī flow state is something that every human has experienced in their life at one point or another.
