Ketamine infusion before Vipassana - yay or nay?
I'm going on my first Vipassana retreat soon, and coincidentally, it starts the day after my first ketamine infusion treatment. Surveying as many people as possible about their thoughts - is ketamine the day before (over 24 hours) beginning Vipassana a good idea? Ketamine clinicians and many others who are well-versed in these sorts of healing spaces and processes think with the right mindset going into ketamine, yes, it could be ideal.
Tiny bit of background - I have a fair amount of meditation experience, and experience with using or entering psychedelics or altered states with the intention of healing, reflection, discovery, and recovery. I've been building up emotional strength very intentionally recently, and feel confident entering both of these experiences with the purpose of further strengthening and stabilizing my mental health, after a few years of battling depression and anxiety, alcohol addiction, and a handful of moments of suicidal ideation. I've never been hospitalized for my mental state. Very thankful for any insights.
