Her thoughtful approach offers fresh perspectives on self-awareness and connection, making this practice an intriguing exploration for anyone seeking deeper transformation.
What Is Minidosing?
Merel Maria Meesssen
Minidosing involves taking a very small dose of natural truffles or mushrooms, known for their subtle yet profound effects on consciousness. Unlike higher-dose journeys, which can be intense and immersive, minidosing is gentle. It enhances your awareness without overwhelming the senses, making it a perfect companion for practices like yin yoga.
Merel, who has over 15 years of personal experience with truffles and mushrooms and four years of guiding ceremonies, describes minidosing as a tool for inner awareness and deeper embodiment. “It’s about becoming aware of what’s inside and to embody ourselves deeper and deeper,” she explains. The practice allows participants to experience their thoughts, emotions, and sensations with an expanded sense of clarity and presence.
How Minidosing Elevates Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is already a deeply introspective practice, designed to open up the body’s connective tissues and promote stillness. When paired with minidosing, the experience becomes even more profound. Here’s how:
Enhanced Mind-Body Connection: Truffles help you tune into your body’s sensations and subtle signals. This heightened awareness allows you to fully experience each pose and notice what’s happening within.
Deeper Emotional Release: Yin yoga often brings emotions to the surface, and minidosing can amplify this release. As Merel puts it, “The truffles have this beautiful quality of bringing up exactly that which is for you to experience in that moment so that you can grow.”
Expanded Awareness: Minidosing gently expands your consciousness, allowing you to perceive your thoughts and feelings in new ways. This can lead to breakthroughs and moments of clarity during your practice.
Increased Presence: The combination encourages you to stay present, helping you fully immerse yourself in the yin yoga poses and the sensations they evoke.
The Journey of Inner Growth
For Merel, this practice is about more than just yoga or minidosing—it’s a path to self-discovery. “Ultimately, it’s about releasing our conditioning and to really live who we really are and to be your true self,” she shares. Each session is an invitation to explore your inner world, let go of what no longer serves you, and embrace who you really are.
Whether you’re new to minidosing or a seasoned yogi looking for a deeper connection, this practice offers something unique. It’s not just about physical flexibility or relaxation; it’s about transformation from the inside out.
Final Thoughts
The pairing of yin yoga and minidosing is a game-changer for anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and personal growth. By gently enhancing your yoga practice, minidosing helps you unlock new levels of connection, presence, and transformation. Why not step onto the mat and experience it for yourself?
