A Guide to Microdosing with Amanita Muscaria
Introduction
Amanita Muscaria is an ancient ally for those walking the path of embodied healing.
The experience of microdosing Amanita is both subtle and profound!
She guides you back to the wisdom within your own body.
Her medicine is not of expansion outward but of descent inward:
- into the body
- into the dreamspace
- into a soulful stillness
She carries the energy of a Wise Elder, the Grandmother who helps you see through the BS and come home to truth.
Through her quiet yet potent medicine, you are invited to rest, to unhook from the noise of the mind, and to remember that the Divine moves in the deepest parts of your being.
Many who microdose with Amanita consistently describe a sense of recalibration of the nervous system, the sleep cycle, and the subtle body.
She softens fear, steadies the heart, and teaches you to surrender to your true rhythm!
Meet the Medicine
Revered across northern Europe, Siberia, and parts of North America, Amanita Muscaria has long been part of mythic and spiritual traditions.
Also known as the Fly Agaric, her bright red cap and white spots are impossible to ignore!
In many lineages, she was used by forest peoples as a winter sacrament, to dream with the ancestors, commune with the spirits of nature, and journey for healing and guidance. Her spirit has appeared in folklore, fairy tales, and even the imagery of Christmas, reminding us of her connection to the unseen realms and the renewal of life after darkness.
Today, Amanita’s medicine is reemerging as a gentle teacher of the nervous system, supporting rest, deep sleep, emotional release, and grounded embodiment.
Her energy helps us remember that stillness itself can be holy.
She teaches:“You are safe to rest. You are safe to be.”
The Amanita Sacrament offered by the Embodied Microdosing Ministry is extracted in organic grain alcohol, purified water, lemon juice, and non-GMO glycerine.
It takes 6 weeks to lovingly craft this magical remedy offered for your healing and transformation.
It is concentrated, and designed for microdosing. As little as 4-6 drops can be very effective for creating a shift. More can be taken as needed, individual tolerances vary widely!
Taking the sacrament in a liquid form is a convenient and easy way to work with this sacred medicine.
Benefits
As a natural ally for embodiment, Amanita draws awareness out of the mind and into the body.
Known for its powerful somatic effects, this sacred mushroom gently works with the nervous system, easing activation and bringing you into a state of deeper regulation.
Many find Amanita supports the integration of trauma, especially where emotional pain is stored in the body. It grounds scattered mental energy and centers the lower chakras, strengthening connection to presence, safety, and vitality.
This medicine is also known to stabilize energetic boundaries, making it especially supportive for empaths or those who feel overly sensitive to their environment.
In the subtle realms, Amanita enhances dreamwork and lucid dreaming, helping one listen through symbols, sensation, and intuition. Taken in the evening, it can deepen rest, ease physical tension, and support restorative sleep.
Through a consistent and respectful relationship, Amanita Muscaria helps:
Promote physical ease and somatic relaxation
Enhance sleep and dreamwork
Integrate trauma where emotional pain is stored in the body
Strengthen energetic boundaries and regulate sensitivity
Deepen communication with ancestors, spirits, and inner guidance
Connect more fully to your body through sensation and subtle perception
Crafted with deep respect for its ancient wisdom, Amanita offers a path to presence, integration, and deeply rooted embodied healing!
The Microdosing Practice
Microdosing Amanita is best approached with patience, go slow as you explore your relationship with her. Her medicine is subtle in microdoses but profound, especially when met with your awareness and breath.
- Take 2-3 drops of Amanita tincture to start, increase drop-by-drop until you notice a shift in your perception, behaviors, energy, or bodily experience.
- Dose in the evening at first to observe dreamy effects, but can be taken in the day as well.
- Average dose is 3-12 drops, more can be taken before ritual, sensual, and healing experiences.
- Begin with one day on, two days off, and observe how your body responds to the medicine. You can take Amanita up to 5 days per week. Take 2 day breaks to integrate.
- Invite presence: This is not a medicine of stimulation but of softening. Notice sensations, breath, and emotion. Great before spiritual work and sleep.
Suggested prayer:
Sacred Amanita,
ancient teacher of rest and renewal,
guide my body back to balance,
my mind back to stillness,
and my spirit back to peace.
Approach this work as communion, not consumption.
Listen for the subtle ways Amanita may speak to you – through dreams, shifts in perception, a gentle softening of the body, and signs from the spirit realm.
Integration
The real healing of Amanita often happens after the dose in the way she continues to weave through your consciousness.
Take time to ground and reflect:
Journal any dreams or sensations upon waking.
Walk slowly in nature. Lean into pleasure. Take space to feel, listen to quiet, and reflect.
Practice gentle movement or breathwork to help the nervous system integrate what was revealed or released.
Rest more than you think you need! Beautiful medicine for recovery from burnout.
Journaling Prompts:
What parts of me softened or released?
What wisdom came through stillness or sleep?
How is my body teaching me to trust myself?
Remember: healing is not a single moment of revelation, but a slow remembering of wholeness.
Amanita teaches that peace comes not from doing, but from being.
Combining With Other Sacraments
Amanita can play nicely with other sacred medicines, please proceed slowly and observe.
She can be microdosed at the same time as the Original Sacrament, work with each separately before pairing them and take both in moderate doses when you first begin experimenting with combining.
They work well taken on consecutive days, try this rhythm at your sweet spot doses:
Day 1: Original Sacrament in the morning with a specific intention.
Day 2: Amanita Sacrament in the later part of the day or before bed, with the same intention.
Day 3: No sacrament. Observe. You may work with Cannabis or a flower remedies like Rose, and integrate the intention.
Begin again.
Taking cannabis at the same time as Amanita can amplify it’s effects and make the benefits more noticeable, please work with a moderate dose when combining.
Be aware that combining Amanita and Passionflower could be too sedating, they both work on the same GABA receptors.
Safety Notes
Please do not combine Amanita with benzodiazepines or medications that induce sleep.
