The results of clinical trials support the many benefits of psilocybin therapy that traditional practitioners have known for millennia. Neurologically and psychologically, psilocybin dampens the default mode network and makes it easier to break out of harmful thought patterns clearing the way for new healthier pathways, patterns, and perspectives to be developed. Psilocybin's substantial promise in treating issues like addiction, depression, and end of life anxiety are being demonstrated more and more by western science. A study conducted at Johns Hopkins also found that a vast majority of religious leaders participating in the study reported that their experience was one of the most spiritually significant of their lives.
