I have had other successes with LSD as well. I assume it is related to mindfulness helping break thought-spirals. Show the brain a way out of the spiral, and it can rewire the escape for future use. LSD increases neuroplasticity: the propensity of the brain to rewire itself. Which is probably why LSD is also incredibly risky.
