Integration: Take Action After Your Ketamine Infusion

This is a transcript of the video which has been edited for readability.

Without taking action, knowledge is powerless. Although you may have certain insights or key concepts in your brain, if you don't take action on that knowledge, it remains kind of useless. With this, we’d like to talk about the importance of taking action after your ketamine experience because ketamine alone isn’t enough to truly transform you. You have to transform yourself through integration, which is what we’ll be talking about in this blog post. 

Knowledge, no matter how important it is, is only practical once it has been put into action.

Knowledge Is Useless Without Execution

Let’s face it, no matter how knowledgeable we are in something, if we don’t apply it in our daily lives, we won’t be able to reap its full benefits. Think about someone who claims that he has reached enlightenment but still acts like a real jerk to everyone. Yes, he has read all about how to achieve enlightenment and he thinks he’s enlightened, but he really can’t call himself enlightened if he doesn’t make a positive impact on those around him.

Or for better context, let’s say you set an intention to heal and have a deep, profound understanding during your infusion to set boundaries. However, in the days and weeks following your infusion, you are not taking even a small effort to create boundaries or uphold them. Eventually, you go back to your old ways. This is a reminder that it's not only the knowledge that's contained in our heads that will change us, but the actions that we take on a daily basis. 

The greatest power that you have to achieve true healing is in your direct actions. You have 100% control over what you choose to do with what you’ve learned. So, I really encourage you that if you gain certain knowledge or insights during a ketamine therapy or even just during life, put it into action. Make the changes that you want to make in your life and don’t just keep it all in your head. In a way, that is known as "integration."

You may deal with some challenges during your ketamine experience, which is why preparation is a crucial part of the entire journey.

Something To Do Before Integration: Preparation

Despite everything we’re telling you here, we understand how difficult it is to take action sometimes. This is why preparation before your ketamine infusion is as crucial to aid you in making change. 

Why is preparation important? Well, when you have your ketamine experience, you will be seeing, hearing, and feeling things that are buried deep within you. This includes past traumas and painful emotions. These can be hard to face if you are not prepared and don’t know how to deal with them. Activities like meditating, journaling, going on a detox, and setting an intention can keep you focused and self-aware the entire time. You may still be feeling a bit confused afterwards, but your ketamine experience will be more meaningful when you’re more mindful and calm during the entire process.

Through integration after your ketamine infusion treatment, you are encouraged to establish good habits and create a better life for yourself.

What is Integration?

We mentioned integration earlier, so you may be wondering what it is exactly. Your ketamine journey is a completely unique and novel experience that will leave you with many insights and learnings. You will realize that you need to make certain changes in your life and take action. Chances are that you may even feel confused or uncertain. Creating positive changes in your life and making sense of what you’ve learned is called integration. 

Through your insights during your ketamine experience, you’ll know what you have to do. Whether this be starting a yoga practice, fixing your diet, or speaking with a therapist, the important thing is that you actually take action. The truth is that your mind alone cannot help you make sense of everything. This is why integration is an important step during the entire ketamine journey.

On the road to change, small, consistent steps matter more than you think.

Small Steps Matter

This is to serve as a reminder that experience is really the best teacher. There is no doubt that ketamine may help you heal, but it is your own actions that can truly transform you. Ketamine should be treated as a catalyst and not as an easy solution that magically heals all of your problems. You also play a vital role, and that’s the most magical part of this transformation. 

The best thing is that these don't have to be big, significant steps. We encourage small steps like meditating even just 5-10 minutes a day or going on a quick 15 minute walk. And as you take action and incorporate good habits into your life little by little, you will start to see the change within yourself. 

During your ketamine infusion treatment, it is important to understand that ketamine is just a catalyst and that the power of creating change is ultimately up to you. From the insights you will be gaining from your ketamine journey, we will be talking about why taking action is the most important part of the process.
