Pre-Session Intention Setting

Complete this template 1–7 days before your session. Take your time — clarity of intention is one of the strongest predictors of a meaningful experience. This is not a contract; intentions are guides, not demands.

Where are you in your life right now? What has brought you to this point?
What draws you to this at this moment? Be honest with yourself.
Distill your intention to 1–3 sentences. What do you most want to explore, heal, understand, or feel?
Questions you genuinely want to sit with. Not demands for answers — openings.
How would you rate your overall psychological state right now?
Low
Stress levels, recent sleep, emotional events, grief, joy, anxiety...

Setting & Safety Checklist

Where will this take place? What have you arranged?
Naming fears before a session takes some of their power. What worries you?
A short phrase to return to if you feel lost during the session (e.g. "I am safe. I surrender. This will pass.")

Note: This log is designed to be used minimally during the session — or ideally, filled in from memory shortly after. Writing extensively during the experience can interrupt its natural flow. Jot keywords only, expand later.

Session Log

Timeline Notes (brief keywords — expand after)

First sensations, physical feelings, mood
Increasing effects, emotions, visuals beginning
Core of the experience — key moments, images, emotions, insights
As effects eased — clarity returning, emotional residue, reflections
How you felt in the hours after
What was challenging? How did you navigate it?
Recurring visual or symbolic material — no need to interpret now, just record
Tracks that were particularly significant or jarring
Unusual sensations, nausea, temperature, energy, anything notable
Nothing is sent to any server.
Timing: Complete this 1–3 days after your session, when you're rested and clear but memories are still fresh. Don't push for neat conclusions — early reflections often carry the most important raw material.

Post-Session Reflection

Recurring emotions, subjects, metaphors, or questions that arose
Review your pre-session intentions. What showed up? What was unexpected?
What was hard? What did you resist? What might it mean?
People who appeared, themes about connection, love, conflict, forgiveness
Open questions that the experience raised or deepened — not problems to solve, but invitations to live into
Therapy, peer support, rest, creative time, movement, solitude, connection?

Return to this template regularly over 4–8 weeks. Integration is not a single event but an ongoing process of making meaning and translating insight into lived change. Consider filling this in weekly.

Integration Journal

What has happened? What has come up — in mood, relationships, work, physical health?
What hasn't faded? What keeps returning to you?
Small behavioral changes, conversations you've had, habits you've started or stopped
Which insights or changes feel uncomfortable or too hard to act on yet?
What are you grateful for from this experience? What in your life do you appreciate more?
Movement, breathwork, yoga, meditation — insights often live in the body as much as the mind
Drawing, writing, music, movement — what has emerged through creative channels?
What one change or practice do you want to have established 3 months from now?
Have you fully integrated this one? Is another session warranted? Most practitioners recommend 3–6 months minimum between sessions.
Anything that doesn't fit the prompts above — unfiltered, unedited

Track both dose days and off days. Comparing your state across all days reveals whether effects are real or expectation. A useful log entry takes under 2 minutes. Consistency matters more than detail.

At the end of each week: what patterns do you notice? What changed? What didn't?

After completing the protocol (usually 4–8 weeks), write a comprehensive assessment

About These Templates

Why is journaling important for psilocybin integration?

Journaling externalizes internal experiences, making them easier to process and return to. Writing before a session clarifies intentions; writing after captures insights while they are fresh. Research consistently suggests that reflecting on and articulating psychedelic experiences is associated with greater therapeutic benefit and more durable positive changes.

Are my journal entries private?

Yes — completely. All templates operate entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted to any server. Downloaded .txt files are stored only on your own device. We recommend keeping journal files in an encrypted folder or password-protected location, and removing identifying information before sharing with any third party.

How long after a session should I write my reflection?

Begin capturing raw impressions as soon as you feel stable — often the evening of the session or the next morning. Don't wait longer than 48 hours for your initial entry, as vivid details fade rapidly. Return to the integration journal regularly over the following 4–8 weeks, as meaning often deepens with time and distance.

What should a pre-session intention include?

A strong pre-session intention covers: your core reason for this experience, 1–3 genuine questions you want to sit with, your current emotional state, any concerns you want to name, your safety plan, and an anchor phrase for difficult moments. Intentions are guides, not demands — the experience will unfold in its own way, but clear intentions provide a compass.
