Is one meditation better for me than another? How do I create my own personalized meditation?
Great Question! To lay the groundwork for this answer, let's talk about Intentions. We at Mind Clinic always suggest beginning your meditation with an intention. Intentions should always be positive rather than negative.
Intention Examples:
✓ Positive intention:
"I want to be happy"
✗ Negative intention:
"I want to stop being sad"
Positive intentions are usually gaining or becoming something, rather than losing something or looking down on yourself for something you'd like to change.
Recent studies show that the human subconscious responds better when you say these intentions out loud to yourself prior to beginning your meditation. Holding onto that intention in your mind throughout your experience can help move your mentality in the right direction. Your mind will naturally wander, so don't stress if you get distracted by other thoughts during your meditation, that's perfectly okay.
Let's take a look at how to Navigate the interface and select the right meditation for you.
In this example, we've selected the calm category. When you do, you'll be presented with this interface.

Meta Quest 3s Pre-Prep
As you prepare for your first At-Home Ketamine Treatment, we recommend spending some time familiarizing yourself with the Meta Quest 3s VR headset as well as experiencing the Guided Meditation VR app. This will allow you to work out any technical issues, become comfortable with the device's functionalities, and VR Mediation content before incorporating it into your treatment.
Once you are comfortable with the VR headset, you can use it during your ketamine sessions and on the days between treatments. Engaging in VR experiences designed for relaxation and mindfulness can significantly enhance your therapeutic journey. Additionally, we encourage you to journal and practice other reflective techniques to process your intentions and experiences. This will help you gain a deeper understanding and integration of the therapeutic benefits.
At-Home Ketamine Treatment Pre-Prep
Prior to your ketamine treatment, promoting and fostering a safe and comfortable environment can make all the difference. Wear comfortable clothes, take your shoes off, have a blanket ready, find a reclined seat or you may lay down on a comfortable flat surface, dim or turn off your lighting, minimize ambient sounds as much as possible, and wear your Meta Quest 3s VR headset while watching the Guided Meditation videos.
Setting Intentions
It's recommended that you create an intention for yourself prior to the treatment session as a way to ground your thoughts and provide purpose during the experience. Examples of intentions include:
- • "I want to be more connected to others"
- • "I want to let go of things that no longer serve me"
- • "I want to feel less sad"
It's very important to keep an open mind for your session and permit yourself to be led by the experience. If at any point the experience becomes overwhelming, focus on your intention which tends to keep you grounded.
During Your Session
Another helpful practice is to focus on taking deep, rhythmic breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Consider journaling your thoughts after each session and bring notes to your subsequent appointments with your physician. Your input will help your physician make adjustments to your medication regimen and ensure optimal results.
When you take your oral ketamine be aware that the dissociative effects last for approximately 30-60 minutes, and a return to a physical baseline occurs within several hours.
Being Prepared For Known Possible Side Effects
Taste:
You might notice that the ketamine treatment has a unique taste that may not be pleasant. This is completely normal and a part of the process. While the taste might be surprising at first, rest assured that this treatment is highly effective in providing the therapeutic benefits you're seeking.
Nausea:
Nausea is a common side effect that some clients may experience during At-Home Ketamine treatment. If you find yourself feeling nauseous, please know that our dedicated medical team is here to help. Our doctors can provide additional treatment options to manage this side effect effectively. Upon request, we can prescribe medication to alleviate nausea, and these prescriptions can be sent directly to your local pharmacy for your convenience.
