Anxiety is a multi-layered phenomenon.  It’s also overdetermined — many different experiences and combinations of experiences can be labeled anxiety.

One aspect of anxiety is the relationship between how we are living our life and our true feelings.  

This could look like trying to keep a parent or employer happy or being in a relationship that isn't working for you.

Living in this state of nonalignment in one or more areas of your life can provoke anxiety.  The anxiety sits on top of the true feelings which, if felt fully, would demand massive action on our own behalf.

In this episode, I dig deeper into this aspect of anxiety and I share how you can begin to work with experiences of anxiety to heal your trauma and come back to your true self.

Last year, I flew to Hawaii to attend a retreat with Eckhart Tolle.

The entire time, I kept getting these signs that I was out of the zone of tolerance. I was triggered again and again in major ways that I hadn’t experienced in years, despite turning to my tools and practices to bring myself back to presence.

I’m sharing my experience with you here so you can witness the value of recognizing your triggers and facing them head-on, even when it can be incredibly uncomfortable.

I share how my practices gave me the self-awareness and compassion I needed to notice when I was out of my zone of tolerance, how I created an intense release of emotion to release the trigger, and the effect this work had on my ability to remain present in my life.

My wish for sharing this experience is that you can see there’s always a juicer, stronger layer for you to step into if you continuously practice the work.

Building our capacity for juice and pleasure is a central part of healing.

It breaks apart the conditioning that life is hard, that we have to push, and that we have to obey.

None of those things are juicy.

When we’re leaning into what’s juicy, we’re ultimately moving towards a life of overflow that comes from touching the heart of love and life force energy.

In this episode, I’m sharing what juicy is, why it’s such a prominent aspect of my work and how we change, and how you can find the juice in your life today.

“Juicy is continually unlocking energy that's been tamped down by closed thinking and conditioning. It can have fear and discomfort, but it's sparky.”

Somatic healing supports you in releasing imprints, patterns, and memories that have been stored in your body.

Oftentimes, these are memories that we may not even be aware of but are influencing how we’re showing up in the world.

Here I’m sharing how somatic healing works with psilocybin so you can better understand how you can meet the medicine to accelerate the healing process of this stored trauma in our bodies in service of your intention.

When Alyssa started working with me, she had been on anxiety medication for a year and knew that while it was a supportive tool to get her through a challenging year, it was a bandaid and she wanted a solution.

She described it like she was in a tsunami of emotion that she couldn’t swim away from any long: “Who am I? Where am I? Why is life like this? I can't manage.”

Throughout her year of intentional work with herself and the medicine, she stepped into a grounded, whole, and in safer physical, mental, and spiritual space.

Alyssa shares so many insights for those of you who are curious about this type of work, especially inner work supported by sacred medicine.

She touches on what made her feel safe, how to approach medicine work, how even though her transformation was massive and fast, it didn’t feel like a lot and why it likely won’t feel overwhelming for you either, plus how you can navigate doing this work when others in your life aren’t.

Alyssa committed to exploring herself and her inner work through both Expand and two rounds of Empower in 2022.

What keeps us from being present is the inability to experience the present fully.  We experience the present when we feel emotions, experience physical sensations and are aware of what is happening.

When we are unable to be present we are in a traumatic reaction — a separation from our life force energy.

When we’re holding trauma, we can’t see that within ourselves.

Sacred medicine, along with other healing practices, supports us to see, feel, and embody what we weren’t able to before and thus to heal the traumatic reaction and come into presence.

In this episode, we’re exploring the ways medicine can support you in healing trauma, including trauma you may not be aware of that is holding you back from embodying your intention.

There are two different stages we go through when we are healing trauma.

If you’ve done a lot of inner work — therapy, meditation, journaling, etc. — but feel as if you’ve hit a healing plateau where you have awareness of your patterns, but can’t quite step into the power of who you are by doing the things you know you have to do to get there, you’re likely coming to the end of the first stage of healing.

Understanding stage one and stage two will support you in seeing what’s possible and what more there may be for you.

I share what each stage looks like, the type of work that happens in each, and how you can shift from stage one to stage two.

Trauma is the only thing that separates us from everything we desire.

Trauma is separation from our life force energy. It’s what happens when we have experiences that we don’t have the capacity to be present for.

There are obvious traumas — the things we all know are difficult.

And then there is the moment-by-moment way that life nudges us out of our own power, our own authenticity.

Ultimately, we are all traumatized to greater and lesser extents through fear and insecurity into living lives that are not our own.

When you're doing deep transformational healing work, big emotions can come up like sadness and anger, and our first instinct is to want to feel better.

Riding the waves refers to a relationship to our emotions where we accept and even welcome our feelings as they come and go.

Alison sees riding the waves as offering an opportunity to open and to hold more.

Riding the waves allows us to flow through life without fighting, which frees up energy to respond to life as it actually is.

In this episode, Alison shares how you can ride the waves of your emotions to free up your mental, emotional, and physical energy, allowing you to move through challenges with clarity and presence.

It’s possible to experience a big and lasting shift as a result of simply taking the medicine — there are miracles all of the time.

But most of the time, it is up to us to create the impact of our psychedelic journey on our lives.

Most of the people that Alison facilitates have life-changing journeys because it’s what they put into practice in their life to continue to run that energy.

There are some very specific things that make a huge difference in whether or not you experience long-lasting transformation after working with psychedelics.

Psychedelic medicine opens us up to new parts of ourselves, new things to see, feel, and experience, but making long-lasting shifts in our lives is not about medicine. We have to keep those new parts alive. We have to work things through.

There's no substitute for that.

In this episode, Alison shares:

• The 5 principles her clients embody that support them in experiencing major transformations quickly when working with psychedelics
• What you need to do to prevent yourself from falling into old patterns after your journey with psychedelics has ended
• How to know what action to take after working with psychedelics to move toward your intention
