Both mindfulness and mystical experiences from psychedelics independently predict substantial increases in psychological wellbeing. Psychedelics moderate the link between mystical experience and wellbeing, amplifying its positive effects. These findings come from a large sample of 1,219 people who engage in both meditation and psychedelic use, providing some of the first naturalistic evidence for a strong relationship among personal mindfulness practice, recreational psychedelic use, and overall wellbeing.
