Controlling our mental health is so important before surgery because it impacts how we wake up, and even the success of our surgery to an extent. Our mental health can even influence the risk of complications, like pain and nausea. The backbone to controlling our mental health is actually rooted in their foundations of psychedelic medicine, as well, which is fascinating because many anesthesia medications have psychedelic properties. In this video I walk through three important pitfalls not to fall into before surgery and going under anesthesia. These are simple and powerful tricks that you can use to overcome the stress of surgery, or the stress and anxiety of other parts of life. They ultimately involve awareness of cognitive rigidity and overcoming rigid mindsets that can cause suffering and pain. That's the last thing we need after surgery and anesthesia, more pain! This is why the power of psychedelic medicine is so impactful around the time of surgery, where this stress of surgery can be a powerful impetus to helping us overcome challenging diseases. We can use these principles to heal the mind as much as the body during the surgery process. You have more power over your physical and psychological health than you've ever been told! This is revealed when patients are under anesthesia in the operating room for surgery. And it's very similar to the spiritual and psychedelic experiences that many have had in the past to heal their minds and bodies.
