Faith, Psychedelics and Mental Health | Fayzan Rab | TEDxEmory
NOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of psychedelics, altered states of consciousness, and mental health. Experiments discussed in this talk should not be performed outside of accredited research settings. Research around psychedelics remains an emerging field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf
Are Faith and Psychedelics like oil and water, or is there an unexplored common ground where these seemingly divergent paths converge for transformative mental health healing? Fayzan, a Muslim-American medical student and psychedelic researcher, explores what is possible when we bridge ancient wisdom with modern science and why that may make a difference in addressing the mental health crisis. Fayzan is a Muslim-American, future physician, and psychedelic researcher. His passion is bringing together Eastern wisdom with Western science to advance human potential and healing. Fayzan's research focuses on attitudes Muslims have towards new treatment modalities like psychedelic-assisted therapy with a focus on what would be necessary to bridge these innovations with religious and cultural minorities. Fayzan started his career in Silicon Valley as a product leader at Google and Mindstrong Health. He subsequently served as a political organizer for Muslims in the Bay Area. Beyond his research, Fayzan is an executive coach working primarily with minorities looking to improve their leadership and presence. He lives in Atlanta with his fiancée, Shua, and their cat, Bella. They are regulars at the Grant Park farmer's market and love to spend quality time at home, either watching a good movie or hosting game nights with friends. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
