'''Set and setting''' traditionally describes the physical, mental, social and environmental context one brings into a [[psychedelic]] experience. One's "set" (a shortened form of "mindset") is the mental state a person brings to the experience, like thoughts, desires, feelings, general mood, and any preconceived notions or expectations about what they are about to experience. The current physical state of the body is also important to one's "set"; if one feels sick, injured, or generally unhealthy these sensations may be amplified during the trip. | '''Set and setting''' traditionally describes the physical, mental, social and environmental context one brings into a [[psychedelic]] experience.
