Setting refers to the physical location as to where the pivotal mental state is experienced. This is opposed to priming which refers to the pre administration mental state. Below are a few toys which can be used to alter setting during a trip.

Best Practice setting

Individual needs should primarily be addressed, the most researched of which include disability, race[1] and age. Generally, research has centred on:

  • Music - induces relaxation and stress reduction[2] whilst giving a time dependent medium for emotional expression[3].
  • Lighting - most prefer psychedelic sessions at night and would feel it strange to start a ceremony at midday[4].

Setting Modulation

Once the basics as above have been covered, it is possible to experiment on an individual basis.
