Natural ways to boost empathy and connection

[Leonop]

Hello. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit cynical and disconnected from people. I find myself getting annoyed by others rather than feeling compassionate. I want to feel more open and connected. Has anyone found a natural way to soften that internal "wall"?

Hi! That cynicism is often just a defense mechanism against stress. When we are overwhelmed, we shut down our empathy to protect ourselves. I found that dried fly agaric really helped me "soften" that internal wall and reconnect with people. I’ve been a customer of the Amanita Universe online shop https://amanita-universe.us/ for a long time. It helps lower the background noise of my own ego and stress so I can actually listen to others. I feel much more patient and compassionate with my friends and even strangers now. It’s a very beautiful way to feel like a part of the human family again. You should definitely see if it helps you find that connection!
