How Dimitri May Assist Healing
A personalised view of potential benefits, Minty style
Nobody knows if and how you may be helped by Dimitri. We're all very different and it's impossible to say until we give it a chance.
This page relates specifically to my own experiences and how the use of Dimitri has guided me to make positive adjustments in my own life journey. Hopefully, this will give you some ideas to relate to your own circumstances.

Backgound
From early life I accumulated deep mental scars from my environment and others in my life, and for many years was subject to both physical and continuing mental control and abuse. I've constantly struggled with baggage from these years, encountering mental blocks, destructive behaviour, physical problems linked to mental issues, phobias, anxiety, a near suicide and much self-inflicted hardship in counter-productive attempts to compensate for mental angst.
Psychedelics Entering My Life
A friend introduced me to shrooms in 1984, and my first trip was the biggest revelation I'd ever experienced. However, the second turned extremely unpleasant, breaking down my ego completely, showing my true rock-bottom place on the spiritual ladder. It was made unequivocally clear that if I persisted on my current course I would have an extremely hard, unpleasant and wasted life. But rather than seizing the opportunity to build up my shattered identity from scratch in an improved manner, I foolishly put every effort into surpressing the lesson and instead continued my life as an egotistical, selfish and empty person. This continued for another 35 years or so, during which time I avoided shrooms (and any other substance) owing to my employment situation.
Enter Dimitri
After I quit my career job in 2018, I was keen to retry with mind medicines. I discovered Dimtri shortly afterwards and began experimentiing with how to use it. Over five years later, I'm still exploring, learning and integrating. The key points so far are as follows ..
Dimitri has allowed me to step back and observe my life from an external standpoint, which helps achieving a more realistic perspective on life's challenges
Dimitri has revealed recurring destructive behaviour patterns in my life, and possible ways of breaking out of them
I feel better able to remain calmer and more understanding in everyday situations that would have previously been difficult to handle
It has shown me the definition, mind-boggling beauty and sheer power of pure love, and recognise its presence or absence in others
I now have an unshakable understanding of the reality of a powerful divine loving creator
I no longer fear physical death, quite the reverse - when the right time arrives I'll be delighted to return to my true home
I'm far more likely to choose people in my life who make me feel appreciated and valued, letting go of others without remorse or bad feelings
I'm far less likely to tolerate or waste time on negative people who don't have my best interests at heart, irrespective of their status
I'm much more in tune with close friends and certain family members
I have succeeded in stopping using alcohol as a crutch to get me through rough times
I've gained an acceptance of my previous negative deeds on others, which although excruciatingly uncomfortable puts me on fertile ground to reduce further such incidents and eventually start to make amends
I've gained an acceptance of why some people have inflicted negative deeds on myself, and the harm it has caused. Such revelations can be nourishment for forgiveness and moving on
I still have a long & arduous road to follow, and expect to take many residual issues right to my grave. But I'm delighted with the giant positive change in direction has been implemented, there's no going back now!
You may observe that while the above points are not necessarily directly healing, but they can effectively shift one's consciousness onto more fertile ground for healing provided the will and intentions are pure.
If I think of further points, I'll add them to the list.
