A short YouTube monologue by Vishen Lakhiani explaining that mystics’ brains produce seven key neurochemicals that create intense happiness and creativity without substances. He names dopamine (motivation), serotonin (satisfaction), oxytocin (bonding) and anandamide (bliss), compares anandamide’s receptor to THC and mentions psilocybin/magic mushrooms, then promotes a free Mindvalley masterclass teaching meditative practices to generate these neurochemicals naturally.

What if I told you that without the help of any substances, you can get high every day purely by using your mind? There are seven key neurochemicals produced in the brains of mystics, and they make us extraordinarily happy. Dopamine is what I call your motivational molecule. Another is serotonin. Serotonin is your key satisfaction molecule. In the brains of mystics, serotonin and dopamine levels rise simultaneously. So does oxytocin. Oxytocin is the bonding hormone. It makes you feel close to other people. The brains of the mystics are flooded with oxytocin. Another important neurotransmitter is anandamide. It's the bliss molecule. When those mystics are in ecstasy, their brains are flooded with that bliss molecule. In fact, anandamide docks to the same receptor sites in the brain as thc, the active ingredient in marijuana. Another popular drug is psilocybin. Magic mushrooms. Many people use microdoses of psilocybin to improve their mood. Those molecules are key to the biology of producing extraordinary states of happiness and creativity. In my new masterclass with mindvalley, I will give you a glimpse of what it's like to reach one of these stages of happiness by simply doing one meditative exercise. I will teach you the science behind these techniques. These practices train your brain to synthesize pleasure chemicals like anandamide, serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin. You'll feel the motivation, satisfaction and love pouring through your brain and body. Sign up for my free masterclass with mindvalley to learn to generate these neurochemicals in your brain naturally. Sarah.
