A Spiritual Journey Through Magic Mushrooms

How one powerful mushroom trip shifted my perspective on time, relationships, and spiritual awakening.

I’ve taken mushrooms before, but this time was different. In the past, a magic mushroom experience gave me bursts of euphoria, colours, and playful movement — the kind of psychedelic trip that makes you laugh and stare in wonder. But on this occasion, after a heavy dose, what unfolded wasn’t about hallucinations at all. It was a psilocybin spiritual awakening. It opened me up to something far beyond my usual perception.

Time Isn’t What We Think

One of the first insights of this psychedelic journey was about time. I knew we had to take a trip the next day, about an hour and a half away, and I wondered how I’d manage it in my state. But I kept feeling as though we were already there — at the same time that we weren’t. I asked my husband, “Are we already there?” The answer was no, not physically. But the sense lingered: maybe as souls and energy, we exist everywhere all at once. Maybe time doesn’t exist the way we think it does — at least not in the way our bodies experience it.

The Presence of Others

Another thing that struck me during this mushroom trip was the presence of people around me — not spirits of the dead, but people who are very much alive. My stepdad was there, offering comfort from his own past experiences. A close friend of mine who happens to be a medium appeared off in the corner, radiating brightness and smiling over me and my husband. It felt like proof that we exist not just in our bodies but beyond them. We’re connected, always present with one another, even when unaware.

The Flow of Knowing

Through all of it, I felt a deep knowing. It wasn’t like thinking. It was gentler, constant, flowing. My thoughts from the “thinking mind” seemed full of programming, fears, and guesses. But the knowing — what I can only call intuition — carried the real truths.

This reminded me of the tools I’ve created through Instant Reality Shift — audios that combine empowering Afformations with binaural frequency meditation. These help quiet the busy mind and open up the same intuitive flow I touched during this psilocybin journey. It showed me that the states people often reach with mushrooms can also be accessed safely, naturally, and in everyday life.

Visions and Connections

When I thought of certain people, visions came:

• My friend Jack appeared as a small child, clutching a blanket, paralysed by fear. It felt like a root to his present struggles.

• My mom felt like a sister in another lifetime.

• My dad and I have danced the parent-child roles across lifetimes, switching places.

• And with my husband — the most profound revelation of all — I felt the truth of our soul connection. We have found each other across lifetimes, again and again. Whatever challenges we face, our bond is unbreakable. I knew it then, and when I shared it, he told me he had always known.

A Turning Point

This realisation with my husband was life-changing for me. It turned my perspective of our relationship on its head. I understood that we are meant to be on this path together, no matter what.

My higher self gave me one piece of advice that night — stop running away from something that isn’t even there. Embrace the love and life I already have. When I do, things will naturally move into alignment.

Closing Thoughts

This magic mushroom journey wasn’t about trippy visuals. It was about truth. It showed me that time isn’t what we think, that we exist everywhere all at once, that we are connected beyond our bodies, and that the love in my life — especially with my husband — is real and eternal.

Sometimes the deepest journeys don’t take you anywhere new, but back home to what you already have.

That’s also what inspires me in my work with Instant Reality Shift. My audios are designed to help others access that same state of intuition, alignment, and higher awareness — gently, safely, and in daily life.
