    Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 130: Stop Seeking, Start Doing**

    Recording from the Amazon River after my latest Peru ceremonies, I'm sharing a lesson that completely changed how I approach personal growth.

    I went to Peru expecting cosmic downloads and profound visions. Instead, I got a simple but brutal message: "Why are you here if you didn't complete what we told you last time?"

    Ouch. But it was exactly what I needed to hear.

    This episode is about breaking the cycle of endless information-seeking when we already know what we need to do. We've become addicted to learning new things because it feels like progress without requiring us to actually change anything.

    You know you need to have that difficult conversation, but you're reading more relationship books. You know you need to start that business, but you're taking another course. You know you need to set boundaries, but you're listening to more podcasts about it.

    Sound familiar?

    I'm sharing the full story of what happened during my ceremonies, including why my body rejected the medicine at first and how I immediately put this lesson into action using the Coach Ignite AI app I've been building.

    Plus, I break down the game-changing difference between lead measures (actions you control) and lag measures (results you want) - and why focusing on the wrong one keeps you feeling powerless.

    The truth? Your intuition already knows what you need to do. The question is whether you're ready to trust it and take action.

    Stop collecting tools you never use. Stop gathering wisdom you never embody. Your transformation is waiting on the other side of implementation.

    Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 129 You're Not Crazy, You're Connected

    In this personal episode, Sebastian talks about his 8-year journey with ayahuasca and plant medicine teachers in the Amazon jungle. Eight years ago, when doctors wanted to give him antidepressants for feeling sad and anxious, Sebastian chose a different path that changed his life.

    This episode talks about what happens when teachers become like fathers, how to keep sacred knowledge alive when your teachers pass away, and what it costs to help heal others. Sebastian shares stories about his teachers Maestro Eladio and Maestro Eleazar, including losing his Kambo teacher and seeing a new medicine teacher begin their journey.

    He explains why being "too sensitive" might actually be a special gift, how our society often tries to medicate intuition instead of celebrating it, and the difference between real healing and just trying to avoid problems. The episode gives simple advice on following your inner feelings instead of what others expect, and choosing to grow even when it's hard. Sebastian also talks about CleanPlanet Day and how he helps people understand they're not crazy - they're just connected to something bigger.

  • From Military to Medicine Man

    Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 126: From Military to Medicine Man

    Medicine Man Scottie is a West Point graduate and retired military officer who traded his uniform for a deeper calling as a plant medicine facilitator and indigenous wisdom keeper. After years of military service, Scottie embarked on a profound journey of healing that led him to the heart of indigenous traditions and the transformative power of plant medicines.

    Recently adopted as a tribe member by the Nutabe Indians, Scottie has dedicated his life to preserving indigenous practices while creating bridges between ancient wisdom and modern healing. He just opened his maloka in San Rafael, California, where he's building a self-sustaining off-grid community focused on authentic healing and indigenous rights preservation.

    Scottie is the founder of the Ocóyái Free Medicine Music School, which has welcomed over 8,000 students in just five months, and the author of The Road Home, a book specifically written for military veterans navigating their own healing journeys. Through his work at www.ocoyai.com, he offers yagé retreats and holistic therapy informed by indigenous practices.

    His mission is simple yet profound: help people heal through whatever means suits them, while honoring the sacred traditions that hold this ancient medicine. Scottie believes in doing the hard work to discover your true calling and impact on the world — then working relentlessly to serve that vision.

    In this episode, we explore the delicate balance between making a living and working with sacred medicine, the challenges of honoring indigenous wisdom in a commercialized world, and what it truly means to live as medicine.

  • The Sacred Act of Forgiveness

    → LEARN MORE

    Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 123: The Sacred Act of Forgiveness

    In this episode of Ignite the Spark Within podcast, host Sebastian Hernandez dives deep into the transformative power of forgiveness, not the performative, spiritual bypassing kind, but the type that literally sets you free and breaks generational cycles.

    Sebas shares a mind-blowing experience from a recent family constellation where he represented someone's "higher self," revealing the profound distinction between your higher self and your "probable, almost certain future."

    Through visceral storytelling, Sebas walks listeners through how unforgiveness destroys our physical health—from elevated cortisol and inflammation to compromised immune systems—and how our bodies literally break down under the weight of unresolved resentment. He explores the three levels of forgiveness: forgiving others, forgiving life/God/the universe, and the deepest work—forgiving yourself.

    Sebas introduces the revolutionary healing modality of Family Constellations therapy, explaining how unhealed generational trauma gets passed down through family lines and how this quantum healing work will be integrated into the Encuentro Magico Retreats.

    He destroys common forgiveness myths and offers practical tools including embodied rituals and journal prompts for accessing your higher self right now.

    Join Sebastian on this quantum journey to understand how forgiveness collapses the timeline between who you are and who you're meant to be, transforming your probable future into infinite possibility.

  • The Power of Perspective

    Speak with Our → Ignite Portal

    Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 121: The Power of Perspective:


    This weekend, I stood beside a deathbed... and felt grateful.

    In this deeply personal episode, I share the profound experience of saying goodbye to my uncle in his final days and how it revealed something life-changing about the invisible lenses we all wear.


    What you'll discover:

    • How our perspectives create our entire emotional reality (without us even knowing it)
    • The moment I realized my relationship with death had completely transformed
    • Why most of us are unconscious prisoners of inherited viewpoints
    • The Three-Step Perspective Shift that can transform any emotional experience
    • Real examples of how changing perspective instantly changes feelings


    The raw truth: 

    Every emotion you feel - anger, sadness, anxiety, joy - is being created by a perspective you're holding. Change the perspective, change the emotion. Change the emotion, change your life.

    From the hospital room in Pereira to the invisible lenses controlling your daily triggers, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about why you feel what you feel.


    This isn't just theory - it's transformation.

    If you're tired of being at the mercy of your emotional reactions, if you're ready to stop being a victim of circumstances and start becoming the architect of your experience, this episode is your roadmap.


    Listen if you're ready to:

     ✨ Stop unconscious emotional suffering
    ✨ Transform triggers into growth opportunities
    ✨ Become unshakeable at your core
    ✨ Shift from victim to conscious creator
