Book Synopsis

An experienced psychonaut's guide to telepathically sharing consciousness

- Teaches you how to work in pairs to meld your consciousness and explore the inner universe together with the help of psychedelics

- Presents techniques for entering and maintaining a psychedelic mindmeld, including holotropic breathing and Vipassana meditation

Many psychonauts have spontaneously experienced telepathy, but how does one intentionally share consciousness? In this guide to psychedelic mindmelding, experienced psychonaut Wade Richardson shows how, with the aid of psychedelics, sharing consciousness is possible.

Drawing on years of personal experience, Richardson details techniques for entering and maintaining a telepathic mindmeld, including Vipassana meditation practices and Holotropic Breathwork, and explains what to expect during your sessions as well as presenting a map of the territory of the inner universe to be explored. He also looks at safe set and setting for telepathic work, including types of psychedelics, dosages, physical and mental health preparations, structuring the session, finding the right partner, safety protocols, and potential challenges.

Sharing accounts from the many sessions he has participated in or facilitated, the author shows how mindmelders can fully experience each other's emotions, help process and release each other's traumas, jointly travel to other worlds and dimensions, and enter into the nondual infinity of what Buddhists call "Clear Light Mind." He offers guidance for debriefing and integrating telepathic sessions and reveals how psychedelic journeying with a partner can help you shatter illusions, expand consciousness, dissolve egoic separations, and enable a cooperative exploration of nonduality.

Review Quotes

"The Psychedelic Mindmeld offers a thoughtful exploration for psychonauts who are ready for the next step on their path. Drawing on research and carefully described psychedelic sessions, Wade Richardson emphasizes intentionality, reflection, and learning from altered states of consciousness. This book can support those seeking to deepen their understanding of how psychedelics can be engaged responsibly and with greater self-awareness."-- "Rick Doblin, Ph.D., founder and president of Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies ("

"It's rare that a book finds its way to me that leaves me genuinely excited and feeling like, 'Now here's a book for people with a mature understanding of psychedelics!' In other words, The Psychedelic Mindmeld isn't written for a general audience or as a means to introduce the novice or the uninformed about what's possible with psychedelics. To stay with the Star Trek theme alluded to in the book, The Psychedelic Mindmeld is for those who are looking 'to go boldly, ' not necessarily where 'no one' has gone before but certainly where not many have gone before."-- "Martin W. Ball, Ph.D., author of Entheogenic Liberation (from the foreword)"

"The Psychedelic Mindmeld is an invaluable resource for brave psychonauts. This book boldly invites you to redefine your understanding of reality and rediscover your boundless capacity for empathy, understanding, and love."-- "Dean Radin Ph.D., chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and author of Real Magi"

"Long before there were astronauts exploring outer space, there were psychonauts, intrepid explorers of inner space. Their number has expanded thanks to the technologies of the 21st century, and Wade Richardson has provided an ingenious framework that will enable them to have a wondrous journey, a safe return, and integration of what is discovered into daily life."-- "Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., coauthor of Dream Telepathy"
