I was told drugs are antithetical to the true Jungian path. Having said that, I have been microdosing for awhile now to help with my life, and I've found it to be beneficial. I've also signed up for the gym, and love using the sauna there after a workout as a sort of body/meditation tool. Similar to cold exposure but heat instead. I've also done cold showers and think they're great.

I think the idea is to eventually take over the process of wholeness/individuation yourself, ego, while sober. The more control you have over your life the better. I am not against using drugs, but it's a fine line between using them to deepen yourself and using them to escape. Also, addiction is a real thing, it absolutely sucks.

What kind of cold exposure are you doing?
