Preparing for psychedelics with meditation or music
Treatments studied
This study tests whether a meditation-based music program or a music-only program helps people prepare for a psychedelic experience. It's looking for people who have used psychedelics very little before and have no major health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 65 years old.
- You have limited experience with psychedelics (5 or fewer full-dose sessions, none in the last 6 months) and meditation (10 or fewer sessions over 30 minutes).
- You are a native English speaker and live in the UK, registered with a primary care doctor.
- You have no current or past serious mental health conditions (like psychosis or bipolar disorder), and if you've had conditions like depression or anxiety, they must be in clear remission for at least 5 years.
- You are not taking medications that interact with psilocybin, and you have no medical conditions that could be risky (like heart disease, epilepsy, or pregnancy).
- You own a smartphone and can attend both in-person and remote sessions.

This Phase 1/2 study tests psilocybin to see how it affects brain signals and the “content” of thoughts while you are monitored during the study. Because participants must be generally healthy and mentally stable, it may be an option if you meet those safety and medication rules and are comfortable having your brain activity measured.
This trial tests whether taking pimavanserin before psilocybin changes the drug's effects in healthy volunteers who have never used psychedelics. It aims to understand how to make psychedelic therapy safer and more predictable.
This study tests how psilocybin, a substance that can cause hallucinations, affects memory and brain activity in healthy adults. It may help us understand how psilocybin could be used for mental health treatments.
This study tests how music affects your experience with psilocybin, a psychedelic substance. It may help researchers understand how to create the best setting for psilocybin therapy.
This study tests whether different music and mindfulness preferences affect how well psilocybin (a psychedelic drug) works with psychotherapy for major depression. You would receive psilocybin in a supportive setting and be followed by the study team.
This study tests whether combining mindfulness training with a single dose of psilocybin (a psychedelic found in certain mushrooms) can help healthy adults. It aims to explore how these two approaches together might improve well-being.
