Our largest published psilocybin study was on just such themes. The study didn’t have the ability to tease out each individual factor, and we took more of a kitchen sink approach, but we did find generally the psilocybin and these practices had additive effects for prosocial behavior: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5772431/
Have you seen any evidence, or are you aware of research in design phase, that will look at the potential effects of
a) mindfulness practices (meditation, breathwork, etc.) as preparation for using psychedelics as a way to “train” for ego dissolution?
b) journaling intentions many weeks prior to a psychedelic experience as a way to improve outcomes?
Thanks for all of your thoughtful work!
