How to Prepare for a Ketamine Journey
Embarking on a ketamine journey requires mindful preparation. When done intentionally, ketamine therapy can be deeply healing, enabling you to emerge stronger, more self-aware, and emotionally renewed.

2. Clarify Your Intention
Reflection is key. Spend time grounding yourself with questions like: What do I hope to achieve? Emotional release? Greater calm? Creative clarity? Writing your intention down will help guide your session and integration process after.
3. Secure a Supportive Setting
Whether at home or in a clinic, create an ambiance built for safety and ease. Comfortable clothes, soothing music, soft lighting, and a journal can all help you feel nurtured. Consider thoughtful details like an eye mask or blanket—anything that builds peace and presence.
4. Prepare Your Body & Mind
Ease into the experience with care. Avoid substances like alcohol the day before, and eat something light yet nourishing a few hours before. Gentle grounding techniques—deep breathing, a mindful walk, or light stretching—can help settle your body and calm your mind.
5. Plan for Integration
Your journey’s power is in what follows. Dedicate time to reflect, journal, move, or simply rest. If you want else more structured support, check out the Ketamine Prep Protocol (KPP). It offers intentional preparation and guided integration to help deepen and sustain transformation.
