Healing And Transformation, First Hand Experience With Ayahuasca || Allan
Real stories, told by real people.
Great to be back with another conversation. Today Allan joins us, and he's got a story to tell.
Allan's taking us for a ride, sharing his first hand experience with Ayahuasca. He's sat through hundreds of ceremonies in Peru with lineage Shipibo shamans, and experienced healing from Dissociative Disorder. Allan's upbringing was far from ideal. Alcoholic parents. His mother in and out of mental institutions. When Allan was in the 1st grade, his brother was killed in a farming accident.
A chaotic childhood, losing his brother early on, Allan found himself battling with his own addictions. He started to drink heavy as a teenager. Using drugs, and struggling with the inner turmoil, and trauma from childhood. It was at the age of 29 that he decided, enough was enough. "It's time to get sober." Not long after his sobriety, he realized quitting the drugs and alcohol wasn't enough - "what about the emotional hangover?"
Dissatisfied with working for the Canadian government as a journalist, and in media. He left a good pension to start his own business. Which turned out pretty successful. But throughout the years, he had an obsession with the human condition -"what drives humanity?" A characteristic he later learned is very common among people with Dissociative Disorder. And this brings us to Ayahuasca, and Allan's very own experience with her healing touch. Allan does a great job sharing his knowledge and experience with plant medicine :
- The spiritual aspects, medicinal usage and intelligence of the plant
- The purpose of a shaman or facilitator during an Ayahuasca ceremony
- How did the Amazonians, with over 40,000 plus plants in the jungle, not only discover Ayahuasca, but learn how to prepare and brew it?
- For what purpose did the tribes in the South American Amazons use Ayahuasca?
- How safe is it?
- Its use for trauma (including generational) and addiction recovery around the world
plus a whole lot more. I'm happy to welcome another GIANTS AMONGST US.
Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!
