Tuning In

""We have known since the 1950s that music is an essential and beneficial foundation of profound psychedelic journeys, but with only a limited sense of what specific music was called for during a session. Tuning In closes that gap. Gelberg has forever shifted my understanding, not only of the profound importance of choosing the right music, but of the vast library of musical possibilities available. The appendix of playlists is a reference book in itself. Like a well-composed symphony, Gelberg interweaves insights, personal reports, and research results into a complex tapestry. This remarkably useful volume is a necessity for anyone involved with psychedelic therapies and a fantastic benefit to anyone working with psychedelics themselves."" — James Fadiman, author of The Psychedelic Explorers' Guide ""A beautifully written and engagingly personal account of the ancient and again burgeoning marriage of music and psychedelics, two universally powerful prescriptions for expanding consciousness. This is a landmark work for a time of rediscovery and exploration of the possibilities of unlimited conscious experience."" — Allan L. Combs, author of Consciousness Explained Better ""To my knowledge, there is no such work that delves as deeply into various kinds of music and their potentiality for mystical experiences. This work details the routes and tributaries of how music affects the mind under psychedelics and how psychedelics may improve one’s appreciation of music."" — Guy L. Beck, author of Musicology of Religion
