Many of the "medicines" of the pharmacopeia of the world's second largest medical system are actual potent substances that support spiritual practice and cultivation. Many of them are seen as part of the path to immortality.
One such example is Ganoderma Sinesis, also known as Ling Zhi or more commonly as Resihi mushroom. This woody mushroom has been used for thousands of years in Asia. It has a number of powerful properties. It formidably support the immune system. It strongly calms the mind. It nourishes the heart and lungs. Different colored variations of Ling Zhi are said to have different properties with the Red and Purple being the most potent.
It has not really been revealed that Ling Zhi, which literally means "spiritual fungus" over time greatly increases ones spiritual abilities including the ability to see and hear spirit beings. It also creates a very pleasant natural meditative state. Over time, consumed regularly one begins to see the world glowing with a subtle glow most of the time.
In essence, it is a subtle entheogen that can be used safely in modest doses.
Why not try it and see what effect it has for you?

Is there a book/video/etc for the subtle glow you talked about?

I've been trying to find information on the spiritual properties of Ling Zhi and haven't come up with anything as of yet.
Would he were fatter! But I fear him not:
Yet if my name were liable to fear,Â
 I do not know the man I should avoid
So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much;
He is a great observer
As far as I know there isn't

As far as I know there isn't a specific written source that talks about the subtle glow. That has just been my personal experience with it. However, if you look at the older writings about it in Chinese Medical text books they mention it as a source of spiritual nourishment and even talk about some of the fungi glowing in the dark!

In agreement about ol' Reishi. I am a practictioner of 5 Element Chinese medicine, and a long time Mycologist....the Reishi holds true. When I lived in Gainesville, FL, the cyprus swamps down there were prime for hunting the reishi. I was amazed at how fast they grew, and also all the variations of size they go through. I make my own tinctures and take them daily...havent been sick once in 3 years since I made them. I also have a friend in Nederland, CO who is using Reishi myclium to make tempeh. What a magic healing food that is. Anyways, thanks for the shot out to one of my favorite mushrooms. Blessings.
