However, the lack of a clear definition and validated measures has hindered systematic investigation of this potentially important construct. This talk will present findings from a series of studies aimed at addressing these gaps and improving our understanding of psychedelic preparedness. We will discuss the development and validation of the psychedelic preparedness scale (PPS), providing a standardised tool for assessing readiness for psychedelic experiences. We will also explore insights from a study involving experienced meditators, which investigated the most effective meditation techniques for enhancing psychedelic preparedness, and our work on developing a meditation-based digital intervention for psychedelic preparedness (DIPP). Finally, we will outline plans for an upcoming study at UCL that will pilot the DIPP, offering practical applications of our research findings. These studies collectively contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of psychedelic preparedness and its potential applications in clinical and research settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-responsive-item\"  title=\"Rosalind mc alpine Psychedelic Preparedness: systematic approach to meditation-based interventions\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g7f7FzoOIwE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributor &#8211; Speaker Rosalind completed her BA in Experimental Psychology at Oxford University, followed by her MRes in Developmental Neuroscience at UCL\/Yale.
