Planning a psychedelic experience, and seeking a good playlist? Look no further!

Spotify music playlist

I created a playlist that takes you on an emotional journey (it’s also great to listen to sans substance) with mostly instrumental (a few songs have lyrics) songs that are emotionally evocative.

The playlist begins with some relaxing, meditative music, then brings in some emotional/melancholic songs before building to some activating music to help anger flow. Then it flows into more sorrowful music for accessing grief and sadness. Finally, it gets into several hours of triumphant, happy songs (tune to these if you’re struggling at any point in your journey.

~ Songs 1-20: meditative, relaxing, slightly melancholic

~ Songs 21 - 30, starting with ‘Chakaruna by Porangui’: activating, more for inducing anger

~ Songs 31 - 55, starting with ‘Flames by Mark Isham’: somber, sorrowful, helpful for grieving

~ Song 56: The Egregore, Pt. 3 - meditative

~ Song 57, starting w/ ‘Gajumaru - Acoustic by Yaima’: happy, soothing, triumphant, celebratory
