I'm getting a lot of questions in regard to how microdosing psilocybin fits into our Emotional Expansion masterclass course that starts next week. And I'm answering them in this short video with an invitation to join me this Saturday.
"When my anxiety ramps up, so does my eczema," one client told me. Skin eruptions, like psoriasis and eczema, are often a common complaint among folks who come to me for emotional release work.
I started smoking marijuana early in college. A boyfriend turned me on to it and I never looked back. To this very day I medicate. However, far differently than back in those college days. Today I enjoy a toke or two before I go into meditation. I meditate straight too. I like to mix it up.
"You don't know what you're talking about!" angrily wrote one of the people, a therapist, who was getting my emails. "I'm unsubscribing because this is irresponsible behavior," they said in a fit of indignation over me talking about how cannabis appears to be helpful in tapering people off of alcohol.
There's a stampede of people experimenting with microdosing psilocybin (magic mushrooms) looking for ways to feel better. In fact, they are diving in and going for it – and not waiting for clinical studies or laws and public policy to be established. That's why as I explain in this week's video what we call "citizen science" is leading the way.
Every day I slip a "vest" harness on my little dog, Sawyer. He looks forward to it because it means he's going for his walk – and like most dogs, he loves his walks! But early on, as an abused rescue who was kept in a cage, Sawyer didn't have the slightest idea of what I was doing.
Elaine needed to talk to her partner about a touchy issue that kept coming up in their relationship. She was scared to have the conversation. In the past, she'd just shut-up and suck it up – or be very wishy-washy in how she conveyed the information.
Anthropologist Jeremy Narby lived with indigenous Indians of the Amazonian rainforest and studied the ways of ayahuasca shamans and their relationship with the ayahuasca "plant teacher."
I was in a committed relationship a number of years back where my then-partner and I decided to get some couples counseling. My partner was in business and scared to death that somebody would find out that we were seeing a therapist.
How do you present yourself to the outside world? Personally, I used to hide my emotional pain and look normal enough. Professional, successful, measured. But behind that facade lived my wounded self.
