Becca Williams First of all, I am in such deep gratitude for the expert neuroscience pros who are connecting the dots on how we can use cannabis in the safest and most optimal ways possible. These folks spend their lives poring over the science literature and are often conducting scientific studies themselves.
The family holidays are coming up! And regardless of where you are in life, most all of us have immediate feelings about going home for the holidays, which is what this week’s blog is all about:
It was around the year 2002 that a friend and I traveled to Amsterdam to take in the coffeeshops. Coffeeshops were the “code word” in that Dutch city for “get your cannabis here” … consuming in the public and in the daylight nonetheless!
As I write this on this Election Day, it’s not nearly noon in my neck of the woods – in a “deciding” state called Florida.
Regardless of how it turns out today (or perhaps in a few days, few weeks… who knows. Right?) …you might well be either delighted or in a funk.
“When the pain of being stuck hurts more than the pain to change”
This is the tagline on my website for why people should connect with me.
I think it’s brilliant – and I had nothing to do with creating it.
It actually comes from a man who emailed me thanking me for helping him quell the emotional turmoil he’d been wrestling with.
Humans have been communing with the cannabis plant for thousands of years… ritual use has been discovered in archeological digs in China, India and Israel dating as far back as 2500 years (and that’s what we know!).
But today, as cannabis has become “normalized” or mainstreamed in Western societies, it’s lost much of its specialness as a plant conferring higher consciousness.
All the fancy-schmancy gimmickry for consuming cannabis has yet to steal fire from the preferred approach of smoking! Can you believe it? And with all the new “cannabis naive” people coming my way,I decided it’d be helpful to offer up my favorite tips for the time-honored tradition of preparing a joint.
What I do isn’t for everyone. That’s probably an HUGE understatement.
Why?
Because I invite people to engage with me so they can learn to regulate and control their emotions.
Yes, meditation is being talked about and promoted in every corner of our culture these days. The most popular form is called mindfulness meditation. But as I discuss in this week’s blog, if you’re struggling with a highly emotional mindset, you may need to proceed with caution.
As you may know, my emotions release work embraces the judicious use of cannabis to help us spelunk our Inner depths. This is called “Shadow work” and I’ve gotten a lot of feedback regarding this. It’s heartening to know that so many are also exploring this path as I discuss in this week’s blog.
