The Healing Journey (2nd Edition): Pioneering Approaches to Psychedelic Therapy

by Claudio Naranjo

Book Overview

This book takes an in-depth look at the spiritual and psychotherapeutic potential of the amphetamine derivatives MDA and MMDA, harmaline (the active compound in ayahuasca), and ibogaine. To distinguish them from classical psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin, Naranjo coins the terms "emotion-enhancers" and "fantasy-enhancers" for these substances.

The First Psychedelic Amphetamine Book

The Healing Journey gives the reader a look into early psychedelic psychotherapy using XTC type molecules. The book was done when these (eg. MDA, MMDA) substances were as legal as sea salt. Naranjo was one of the first to explore these magical molecules. "The MMDA peak experience is typically one in which the moment that is being lived becomes intensely gratifying..." Naranjo further states, "I believe that self-awareness is contagious, and moments of self-discovery, once adequately communicated, can be a gift of consciousness to others."
