The holidays have only just ended, and normal life is already resuming.
For the first time this year, the alarm clock goes off too early, children are dressed for school, bicycles are taken out of the shed, diaries are dusted off.
Only... it's snowing, and heavily too. Thick, wet flakes that block roads, delay trains and ruin plans before they've even begun.
The rush hour turns into a shuffling procession. Parents grumble, children scream with delight. Dogs pull on their leashes, snatch at snowflakes, refuse to go inside.
Everything falters, everything slows down. And somewhere, in the midst of that disruption, there comes a moment when you can feel it again: this is how a new year really begins. Not with resolutions or lists, but with a grinding realisation that nature doesn't care about our schedules. And thank goodness for that.
Nature never rushes. Everything grows when it is ready. Magic truffles follow that same quiet pace. They build their strength in the dark, deep underground, where there is no hurry and where time is still just time. Anyone who works with truffles quickly notices this. Your inner rhythm slows down. Your focus shifts. It is as if you can hear what you normally overlook.
We sometimes forget that our own lives move in cycles, just like the seasons. We have periods of opening up, blossoming, letting go and resting. Not as a strict schedule, but as a natural process that constantly responds to what is going on inside us. Microdosing often fits in surprisingly well with this. Not by forcing anything, but by making space for what was already there.
Truffles are natural products with a complex composition, much richer than just psilocybin. Their effect is created by the combination of substances that together form a subtle entourage effect. Those who experience this recognise how gently the truffle guides you. Never forcefully. More like a whisper that brings you back to your own rhythm.
Spring – the first movement
Spring does not begin when you see it in the air, but when you feel it within yourself. A lightness. An idea that has not yet taken shape, but wants to go somewhere. Many people who microdose experience a kind of inner clarity during this period. No pressure to perform, rather a gentle curiosity. As if you are allowed to explore what comes to mind without having to understand it immediately.
Spring calls for unhurried attention. One step forward, then back again. Inspect the ground. Wait until the moment is right. Microdosing can help in this phase to feel that subtle line between wanting and forcing. What presents itself does not have to be a plan. It can simply exist.
Summer – visibility and direction
In summer, everything becomes louder. The light. The energy. The urge to move. What sprouted in spring now wants to be seen. Those who microdose during this phase often notice that their attention is sharper, but not tense. It helps to distinguish between what truly nourishes and what merely creates noise.
Summer invites expression. Writing. Speaking. Being outdoors. But also honesty. Not everything that grows needs to become big. Truffles often gently pose the question: what truly belongs to you, and what is merely an echo of the expectations around you? The answer usually presents itself without you even looking for it. In a conversation. On a walk. In a breath that suddenly creates space.
Autumn – an honest look back
Autumn does not make anything more beautiful than it already is. It shows what you have built up, what is solid and what no longer needs to be carried. Those who microdose during these months notice that their attention naturally turns inward. Not heavily, but honestly. Things that you previously put off come quietly into focus. Habits. Beliefs. Relationships with yourself and with others.
Letting go is never a task. It happens when something is no longer nourished. Truffles support that process by removing noise. They make tangible what you already knew. Nature shows us this every year: it is not a failure to break down what has lost its function. It is preparation for recovery.
Winter – the silent foundation
Winter seems quiet, but beneath that silence, there is more going on than meets the eye. It is the period when the soil recovers and new growth is invisibly prepared. For many people, microdosing brings a deeper sense of calm during these months. Not the calm of doing nothing, but of not having to do anything.
Truffles invite you to slow down. To engage in small rituals. A warm shower. A good book. A walk in a landscape that does not demand attention. Your nervous system can relax. Your creativity does not have to perform for a while. Your body is given space to recover, and your mind to soften.
Winter is not an interim phase. It is the bed in which the next season can take root.
The truffle as a guide to your rhythm
Magic truffles do not accelerate anything. They remind you. Of the fact that growth comes from within. Of the idea that, just like nature, you have seasons that gently alternate. Sometimes you are busy underground. Sometimes you are in bloom. Sometimes you let go. Sometimes you do nothing.
At Microdosing XP, we align ourselves with that natural rhythm. The truffles from Fresh Mushrooms Ltd do not come from a factory process, but from carefully calibrated growing conditions in which time and balance are key. The truffle grows when it wants to grow. It develops at its own pace. Just as you should.
