Holding Space for Your Transformation
A ceremony is more than consuming a sacrament—it is the intentional creation of sacred space where transformation can unfold. When we approach these experiences with reverence and preparation, we open doorways that remain closed to the casual seeker.
This guide offers frameworks for creating your own ceremonies at home, using the sacred sacraments available through the Temple. Whether you're embarking on a journey of deep exploration or a gentle microdose practice, ceremony elevates the experience from consumption to communion.
According to spiritual science, the human being is not merely a physical body but a fourfold constitution of interpenetrating bodies. Understanding these subtle bodies illuminates how sacred medicines work and why ceremony is essential for genuine transformation.
The mineral vessel—what can be weighed and measured. Shared with stones, crystals, and all matter. This is what modern medicine addresses.
The body of formative forces that maintains life, growth, and healing. Shared with the plant kingdom. This is what acupuncture and energy healing address. It carries our vitality and life patterns.
The body of feeling, emotion, and desire. Shared with the animal kingdom. This is where our wounds live, where trauma is stored, and where emotional healing occurs. Most psychedelic experiences primarily affect this body.
The eternal witness, the individual spark of divine consciousness unique to humans. This is who you truly are—the one who observes all experience. Breakthrough experiences temporarily release the Ego from its sheaths, allowing direct spiritual perception.
Each sacred medicine works with these bodies differently. Psilocybin loosens the astral body's grip on the physical, allowing etheric wisdom to surface. Heart medicines expand and purify the astral body, opening the heart center. The visionary medicines activate higher ego consciousness, while DMT can release the ego entirely from its lower vehicles for direct perception of Source.
Proper ceremony prepares all four bodies for the medicine's work. This is why set, setting, and integration matter—they address not just the physical and psychological, but the energetic and spiritual dimensions of your being.
"The medicine shows you what needs to be seen. The ceremony creates the container strong enough to hold it. Your intention is the key that opens the door."
Your mindset, emotional state, and intentions before the journey. Clear what needs clearing; set what you wish to discover.
The physical and energetic environment. Create beauty, safety, and sacredness in your space.
The willingness to let go of control and trust the medicine's wisdom. Resistance creates suffering; surrender enables healing.
Each medicine has its own character and calls for different approaches. Below are frameworks tailored to the sacraments available through the Temple.
Lucid Elixir Tincture — P. Cubensis extract in honey meade with lion's mane, blue lotus, and medicinal mushrooms. Precise dosing with 7g total psilocybin content.
6g Magic Cacao Bar — Ceremonial cacao infused with psilocybin, coconut sugar, cacao butter, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and sea salt.
Psilocybin works primarily with the astral body, loosening its habitual grip on the physical and etheric bodies. This allows suppressed emotions, memories, and spiritual insights to surface. The ego remains present but softened, able to witness without its usual defenses.
Luna Love Drops — 1000mg Luna in 30ml with sassafras root bark, blue lotus, lion's mane, and rose. Higher energy, more euphoric. Start with 1-2ml.
Ahma Love Drops / Ahma Lion Drops — 1000mg Ahma in 30ml (33mg/ml) with adaptogenic herbs. Body-centered, gentler, more grounded than Luna. Micro: 0.25ml, Macro: 1ml, Macro+: 2-3ml.
Lotus Love Drops — 333mg Ahma (11.1mg/ml) for sensitive souls. Gentler entry point. Macro: 1.5ml, Macro+: 3-4ml.
Heart medicines work directly with the astral body, expanding and purifying its emotional content. The heart center opens, allowing love to flow more freely. These medicines soften the defensive structures of the ego without dissolving it, creating space for emotional healing and authentic connection.
All Lucy tinctures contain 1500mcg (50mcg/ml) in 30ml bottles with lion's mane and supportive botanicals:
Lucy Lotus — Blue lotus flower for spiritual gifts and third eye activation.
Lucy Rose — Organic rose for heart-centered communion with source.
Lucy Love Drops — Rose, blue lotus, and sassafras root bark for intimacy and channeled experience.
Lucy activates higher ego consciousness, expanding perception beyond the usual astral limitations. The thinking becomes fluid and crystalline, capable of grasping patterns normally invisible. At higher doses, the ego can perceive directly from the spiritual world, though it rarely dissolves completely as with DMT.
Prickly Tincture — 400mg mescaline HCL in 30ml dual extract San Pedro tincture. Start with 1-2ml to assess sensitivity.
Prickly Tincture + — 1000mg mescaline HCL in 30ml for experienced practitioners. More potent, same starter dose of 1-2ml.
The grandfather cactus uniquely harmonizes all four bodies simultaneously. Unlike other medicines that primarily affect one body, mescaline brings the physical, etheric, astral, and ego into alignment. This is why the experience feels so clear and grounded—you remain fully present while perceiving expanded reality.
5-MeO-DMT Freebase — 100mg per unit. Requires a glass pipe or specialized vaporizer capable of vaporizing freebase material without combustion.
5-MeO-DMT is unique in that it completely releases the ego from all lower bodies—physical, etheric, and astral simultaneously. The "I" experiences itself as pure consciousness, undifferentiated from Source. This is not a journey to other realms but a return to the ground of being itself. Unlike nn-DMT which reveals entities and dimensions, 5-MeO dissolves all separation into pure unity.
nn-DMT Freebase — Sold by the gram. For vaporization via glass pipe or specialized device.
Changa Blends — nn-DMT infused into smokable herbs containing MAOIs. Gentler onset, extended journey in waves.
Caapi Vine Tincture — Can be taken 30-45 minutes before to extend and deepen the journey.
nn-DMT rapidly releases the astral body into hyperspace dimensions while the ego remains partially intact as witness. Unlike 5-MeO which dissolves into unity, nn-DMT reveals the architecture of other realms—geometric patterns, entity beings, cosmic machinery. The ego observes rather than dissolves, bringing back memories of what was witnessed.
Changa is nn-DMT infused into a blend of smokable herbs that contain natural MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors), typically including plants like Caapi vine leaf, passionflower, or blue lotus. The MAOIs extend and soften the DMT experience, creating gentler waves rather than the sudden rocket-launch of pure DMT.
Changa Ceremonial Blends — Pre-made smokable blends with nn-DMT and MAOI herbs.
Caapi Vine Tincture — Pure ayahuasca vine extract. Take 1/2 to full bottle 30-45 minutes before any journey to extend duration by up to 5 hours. Works with psilocybin, DMT, and other medicines.
The Caapi Vine tincture can be used to extend and deepen any journey—not just DMT. It contains harmala alkaloids that slow the breakdown of tryptamines. Taking it before psilocybin or DMT creates a longer, often deeper experience. Caution: MAOIs have dietary restrictions and drug interactions. Do not combine with SSRIs, stimulants, or tyramine-rich foods.
Ceremonial Cacao, Cosmic Truffles (ceremonial dose)
The ceremony reveals; integration embodies. Without proper integration, even the most profound experiences fade into pleasant memories rather than lasting transformation.
These sacraments are not appropriate for everyone. Contraindications include certain psychiatric conditions, heart conditions, pregnancy, and interactions with medications (especially MAOIs, SSRIs, lithium). If you have concerns, consult with a healthcare provider familiar with these medicines. The Temple cannot provide medical advice.
There is profound value in both solo work and supported ceremonies. Solo ceremonies allow for complete surrender to your own process. Supported ceremonies—whether with a trained facilitator, a sitter, or fellow journeyers—provide safety and the gift of witnessing.
For deeper doses or challenging material, we strongly recommend having support present. The Temple community includes those experienced in holding space. Say CONNECT via Signal if you'd like guidance on finding support for your ceremonies.
With proper preparation and reverence, these sacred medicines can catalyze profound transformation. The Temple is here to support your path.
