I have been consuming Reishi and Chaga mushrooms in my coffee every morning for 6 months.
And...Wow!
Here is a quick run down of my experience..
A sense of enlightenment. This is not the person talking back to you in your brain. It is something very different. For some reason these mushrooms let you absorb Truth. Wisdom from others flows directly to your brain. In some cultures we understand there is an eye in your brain. Your minds eye. For most this is closed, and all the Truth in the world cannot be seen. Like you attempting to explain to a bling man what the color green looks like. These mushrooms open this eye.
Anti aging. for thousands of years now the Chinese have known this. Over even a short period of time these mushrooms bring balance to every gland in your body. Making you look like you did back when you were a teenager.
Regulated sleep patterns. I have not had insomnia in months. Each morning I wake up clear in and focused.
Disease Prevention. In this sense, diseases like heart disease and cancer mean that the body is out of balance, which is why the mushroom can help so many diverse ailments.
The most interesting part of the story of the mushroom is even though they have been around since the dawn of time. They are present across ancient pictures in just about every religion. People are aware of them and the powers they have. Yet, you rarely find anybody who actually consumes them.
