We often think of certain emotions as negative, and thus we're taught early to repress them.Usually, it's sadness, rage, and jealousy.It's exactly this imbalance that makes it challenging for us to change our behavior.When we have traumatic experiences— experiences that are too much for us to emotionally withstand at the moment— because we can't feel our emotions because they get locked away.This disturbs our flow and our ability to be present, which makes it difficult for us to create the lives we

2022/12/13

We tend to think that our blocks are in our heads, but often they're actually in our bodies.As we start to do personal work, we can see this because we know that logically we shouldn't be scared of this, there's nothing to worry about, we want to be a certain way, or we want to speak up for ourselves, because we know that's how we're going to step into the next level, and yet we can't do it because we’re are afraid.That fear lives in our bodies, so what's in our bodies has an impact on what we’re

Without an intention for microdosing, working with psychedelics is simply an experience.Having experiences can be interesting —they can be pleasurable (or sometimes not) —but experience without intention is just experience. It’s unlikely you’ll achieve the transformation you’re after.Intentions provide foundation and meaning to things that we do in life, particularly practices intended to support us in healing, growing, and changing.Setting an intention is an important first step when microdosing

2022/11/15

Microdosing for transformation is the opposite of how we are trained to approach Western medicine.When we go to the allopathic doctor and they give us a prescription, we’re taking medicine either for some kind of healing or for symptom relief.This is the opposite of microdosing — microdosing is not a magic pill.When we microdose for transformation, we’re looking for a connection to a deeper part of ourselves so that we can get to the root cause of what ails us.When you’re working with plant medicine
