Episode 55 l Ketamine Music 101: Why the Right Playlist Matters More Than You Think

Anna Krishtal

When it comes to ketamine therapy, there’s one piece almost nobody talks about—and yet it can completely shape your journey: music.

I can’t tell you how many clients have shared stories of bringing all sorts of music into their sessions—everything from spa tracks to heavy metal. (Nothing against heavy metal, but deep dissonance and aggressive lyrics can actually work against the coherence your brain is trying to create in a psychedelic state.)

In this episode of Ketamine Connections, Your Ketamine Coach Anna Krishtal breaks down:
✨ Why music is more than just background noise—it’s a co-facilitator of your journey
✨ The neuroscience of how music influences brainwave states, coherence, and emotional processing
✨ Best practices for choosing music that supports your ketamine experience (spoiler: ambient, lyric-free, seamless playlists are your friend)
✨ The dangers of commercials, dissonant sounds, or sharp instrumentals mid-journey
✨ How subliminal tracks can supercharge your results by planting affirmations directly into the subconscious

💡 Pro tip: The music you listen to during your journey can also support integration. Playing the same tracks later in meditation, nature walks, or quiet reflection can help re-anchor you to the insights and states you touched in your session.
