“The two types of peak experiences are relative and absolute. Relative characterises those peak experiences in which there remains an awareness of subject and object, and which are extensions of the individual’s own experiences. They are not true mystical experiences, but rather inspirations, ecstasies, and raptures. It is thought that probably the majority of peak experiences fall into this category. Absolute peak experiences are characteristic of mystical experiences, and are comparable to experiences of great mystics in history. They are timeless, spaceless, and characterised by unity, in which the subject and object becomes one.”
– Alan G. Hefner
What Is a Full Release with 5-MeO-DMT?
A full release dose of 5-MeO-DMT is a profound, often life-changing experience. At this level, the ego dissolves completely, unraveling the ordinary sense of self, time, and separation. Many describe it as a direct encounter with pure consciousness, Source, or the Divine: a state of unity that transcends language and identity. This merging with the infinite often brings lasting shifts in perception, a deep inner peace, and renewed clarity of purpose. It's not a peak to be chased, but a threshold to be met with reverence, presence, and care
One of the most powerful aspects of a full release is the somatic unwinding that may emerge. As the ego softens, the body often begins to move, tremble, weep, or vocalize—expressions of long-held trauma, tension, or emotional charge being released. This isn’t something we make happen; it happens through us. The nervous system, given the space and safety it needs, begins to reorganize itself—shedding layers of protection that words alone could never touch. With the right support, this process can feel deeply purifying, like a return to the natural rhythm and intelligence of the body.
Ultimately, the full release is not about leaving the self behind, it is about remembering who and what we truly are. Beneath the stories, identities, and survival strategies is a presence untouched by time, trauma, or thought. The full release opens a doorway into that remembrance. But the real integration happens afterward: in how we live what we’ve seen, how we embody that unity in our nervous system, our relationships, and our choices. It’s not about escaping life, it’s about returning to it, more whole, more honest, and more deeply connected..
