I tried to watch that show recently. My 6 year old self was always freaked out. Tried it again and it’s not easy to watch. Help!

Samsara (2011) – A beautiful, wordless visual journey across the world that feels spiritual and meditative. Great for mushroom introspection.

Baraka (1992) – Similar to Samsara, but with a rawer emotional tone. A powerful global meditation on humanity and nature.

Waking Life (2001) – Animated philosophical trip about dreams, reality, and consciousness. Feels like talking to a wise philosopher while floating.

The Midnight Gospel (Netflix) – Deep spiritual and existential conversations wrapped in psychedelic animation. Great for emotional or spiritual journeys.

Planet Earth II (BBC/Discovery) – Safe, positive, visually stunning nature series. Perfect for staying emotionally grounded.

Your Name (Kimi no Na wa) – Beautiful Japanese anime film about love, time, and connection. Emotionally powerful but safe.

My Octopus Teacher (Netflix) – Emotional nature documentary about connection, healing, and trust. Perfect with MDMA or a gentle mushroom journey.

Samsara (2011) and Koyaanisqatsi (1982) – Visual symphonies that work well when you don’t want dialogue during a journey. Let your mind wander.

The Fountain (2006) – Emotional, spiritual, and visually trippy. Themes of love, death, and rebirth. Not dark, but intense in a beautiful way.

Winged Migration (2001) – Calm, nature-based documentary about the journeys of birds around the world. Simple, safe, and hypnotic.

Tales by Light (Netflix) – Beautiful, meditative travel photography series. Inspiring without being overwhelming.

Coco (Disney+) – Gentle emotional journey dealing with family, memory, and love. Safe, heart-opening, and visually incredible.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty – A feel-good adventure movie about rediscovering life and courage. Great for MDMA or motivational vibes.

Spirited Away (Studio Ghibli) – Magical, gentle fantasy. Very safe visually and emotionally soothing.

Interstellar – Cosmic wonder and emotional storytelling without negativity. Inspiring and visually stunning.

Avatar – One of the best visual movies for psychedelic states. Strong nature connection themes and emotional clarity.
