Psilocybin can deepen spiritual connection and meaning, especially when approached with openness and willingness to surrender to the experience. These effects may be particularly impactful for people working through past challenges or seeking emotional and spiritual growth.
In our study, psilocybin did not shift participants’ beliefs about God or change atheist believer status. While some individuals may experience spiritual insight, long term belief systems generally remained stable and varied highly by personal context.
