This One Time On Psychedelics

As you guys have all heard me say enough times by now, we really don’t need psychedelics to invoke a psychedelic experience, as all these medicines do is open us up to the true reality that is always all around us,  but Is not always perceptible to us due to the human condition. Today’s guest on the show is a woman who has made her life the definition of the aforementioned statements in what she has brought to the world. Her story is one steeped in following her heart into the unknown with the faith that it would all make sense in the long run & over the years, she has not only created a curriculum of tuning fork technology that has shifted the world at large, but has also author’d two books, “ Tuning the Human Biofield” & “Electric Body, Electric Health” which have changed the lives of thousands of people worldwide, including myself & allowed them to become their own healers through the modality of tuning fork healing she teaches. I had the chance to meet her at a music festival we both attended in Texas this past April & after that event, I knew I had to have her on the show to share her magic with each of you. This episode is a true look into the hero’s journey that we all have the capability to enact in our lives when we get ourselves out of the way long enough to have spirit speak through us.

One of my absolute favorite parts of doing this show & podcasting overall are the incredible connections I make with like minded individuals who are also on a path to light up the world with their unique magic. When I find these people, I like to have them on the show periodically to not only update us on all of the facets of their life, but to also allow each of you to benefit from the immense knowledge & unique perspectives they have around life as a whole. Today’s guest, as you may have guessed, is a returning guest who has quickly become a brother, a friend & family to me. He is the host of the “Expanding Reality” podcast, which I have been on a few times & highly recommend that each of you check out & in todays episode, we cover a LOT of ground in our catch up & speak to a lot of the recent events that have been occurring within our lives plus some really cool new ideas that he has been getting into over the past few months.

I feel for many of us who find our way into the realm of psychedelic medicines, that we’re “searching” for something. I know for me, I had no idea what I was searching for, yet that didn’t stop it from finding me & for me personally, what I was truly searching for was a deeper connection with god, creator or whatever you choose to call the omniscient power within & beyond us. Today’s episode is one that is very near & dear to my heart as today’s guest is an absolutely incredible human being who is doing his part to assist others in the same quest & is someone who I’ve gotten to know over the past 6 months & have had a blast in getting close with. In this episode, we dive into his journey of overcoming sexual abuse, finding his own way into teaching spirituality, free from dogma,  how psychedelics impacted his life & much much more.

Sometimes when I have a guest on the show, it becomes apparent to me that we could have done 10 hours straight of talking without running out of ideas or energy. When I find guests like these, it not only fires me up because of the connection & conversation we share, but also because I am always excited to share these types of individuals with each of you as I find in my own life that when I can tune into a conversation between individuals that is purely heart centered, that I leave that conversation feeling more heart centered myself & that is my hope for each of you after listening to todays conversation. In this episode, I have a returning guest come back on to dive back down the rabbit hole with me & discuss topics such as family upbringing, societal pressures, overcoming perceived limitations, getting in touch with our purpose in life & much, much more.

Ep.178: An End To An Upside Down World (feat. Mark Gober)

I think for most of us that have found our way into the world of psychedelic medicines in the present day, that we can agree that pretty much everything in life is upside down when viewed through the lens of the mainstream narrative. From our thinking, to our approach to medicine, consciousness & more, it’s truly a time in which discernment is the ultimate muscle to wield as without it, we can easily be led astray into the distortions that are being cast into society from individuals that are flowing against the tides of life, rather than with them. In todays episode, I got the chance to dive in with one of the most brilliant individuals I have had the pleasure of connecting with recently & along with being an author of 5 incredible books that depict exactly how our world is currently backwards, todays guest is someone who is motivated & committed to allowing people to break out of the matrix, tune back into the psychedelic nature of reality & ultimately become the victor of their life’s story, rather than the victim. This episode is sure to be one that opens your eyes to an alternative perspective of reality that has the capability to allow you to see through the illusions that have been cast upon our society at large & that will allow you to make more informed choices as a result of having more data & facts to pull from.

A couple of the areas that I have found in the last few years that has been earth shatteringly psychedelic are those of web3, blockchain & decentralization as a whole. I feel for many of us who have found our way into psychedelic medicines, that the idea of decentralization, in which centralized powers would not have the power & authority they have today, is an idea that we can find a lot of congruence in, considering that all of us who connect with psychedelic medicines are doing so in a decentralized way already as these medicines are still illegal in most parts of the world. As such, todays guest on the show is a man who’s journey began with psychedelics, punk rock music & learning to question everything around him. That being said & as you’ll hear him speak to in todays episode, he became frustrated at the idea of “wanting” a different system, yet being surrounded by others who talked a lot, yet did not take action to try to create change. At a certain point, he decided to take his destiny into his own hands & in this episode, we dive into what this process looked like for him, how psychedelic medicines assisted him in this process, his path of discovering web3 & blockchain, some of the projects we are both bullish on right now & much, much more.

For me, the “goal”, if you will, of my psychedelic experiences has always been to live in a more psychedelic daily reality through utilizing these experiences to take action on creating the life of my dreams. I feel many of us know there is more to life than what we see each day, yet, if you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered from time to time what this really looks like & how to go about beginning this process of integrating what we experience in our psychedelic experiences into our day to day lives & this weeks guest is a woman who has truly excelled in being able to not only get the message, but also allow it to inform her life in incredible ways. From completely revolutionizing how we school our children in her “Luminous Education” project, to creating one of the best books I have read recently, “Super Wellness” which focused on how we can take our power back when it comes to our health & more, it’s clear that she is paving a path that will be remembered for generations to come & in this episode, we dive into many different aspects of her journey in this lifetime, her recent Ayahuasca experience that was 20 years in the making & what that experience has taught her about what she will be creating from here in her life & as such, this is an episode that is sure to leave you feeling inspired, excited & motivated to dream big & take action on changing the world in the unique ways that only you can.

One of my favorite aspects of hosting this podcast is the opportunity to meet new people & also to feature some of my closest & dearest friends in the world as I truly believe that human connection is the most important medicine in very short supply in the world right now & my hope is that by featuring these individuals that have supported me in my life, that you too can connect with them, allow them to bring more magic into your life & to make yourself RICH beyond all measure in the #1 medicine necessary for a beautiful experience while here on earth. Todays guest on the show is a woman who I have known for the last 8 years or so & who met me at a time where I had a lot of goals & a vision, but felt powerless to actually manifest the life I was envisioning & she has been an immense source of inspiration for me in building my own business, taking the initiative to drop the victim mentality & become the victor of my life & has been someone I can always rely on to be my friend & soul sister in this lifetime. In today’s episode, I catch up with her & she shares some VERY powerful recent psychedelic experiences she’s gone through, including one with her Mom that truly touched me as being able to connect with these medicines with our families is something not many of us have the opportunity to do, yet so many of us yearn to be able to experience.

It’s no mystery for any of you who have been following me for any length of time now that I am a huge proponent of the medicine of Cannabis. That being said & like I say often, even though this may be the most popular plant medicine in existence & the most widely used, I have also found that this plant is the most misunderstood & the true nature of what this plant’s role in the human experience is has been steeped in mystery for quite a long time given the insane propaganda & smear campaigns put behind it over the last 80-100 years. Today’s guest on the show is a man I had the pleasure of connecting with recently & as soon as I did, I knew I had found someone who “gets it”, with regards to what the true value & medicine of this plant is. He is the owner of Blue Star Farms in Oklahoma, which is the first & only Clean Green Certified regenerative Cannabis farm in the country & his mission is to allow people to experience the immense difference one can feel when connecting with Cannabis that was grown in the earth, under the sun, just as mother nature intended for it to be, free of pesticides, herbicides, glyphosate, chemical salt nutrients & anything else unnatural to nature & in this episode, we take a DEEP dive into demystifying this medicine once & for all so that all of you can benefit from the incredible wisdom & power this often overlooked plant medicine truly has within it.

When I entered the realm of psychedelic medicines, no medicine was more popular & talked about more than that of Ayahuasca. I have been fascinated with this medicine for years in hearing so many stories & featuring so many people on the show that have had experiences with it & being as how I have yet to experience this medicine myself, you could say that my curiosity has been peaked for quite some time on it. Todays guest on the show is a man who’s life has not only benefitted greatly from experiencing this medicine, but has also opened up deeper levels of purpose in his calling to create a center that could allow more people to experience what he experienced in sitting with this medicine. Fast forward to today & he has taken action on that goal in creating “Lawayra”, which is an Ayahuasca center located in Columbia where they practice both traditional Ayahuasca ceremonies & the Columbian indigenous way of brewing this medicine, often referred to as “Yage” & in this episode, we dive into his journey, what he’s learned in running an Ayahuasca center, the differences between Ayahuasca & Yage & much, much more.
