Currently a U.S. military vet who is in chronic pain, or is emotionally broken (often with post-traumatic stress disorder), or is dealing with other serious medical issues, is not allowed through the Veterans Health Administration to have access to medical cannabis.
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.
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.
Yogi Bhajan. I never knew the man, although I did marvel at the brilliant stuff he came up with. He died in 2004 but built a franchise from the ground up called Kundalini Yoga. He was from India and came to America in the midst of the hippie revolution.
Psilocybin micro-dosing is now (optionally) part of our revolutionary mix of healing technologies in my emotional recovery work. I judiciously include this option (in addition to cannabis) because I see micro-dosing this plant medicine as a “next level” tool.
“I can only say from my experiences that the practice of your active meditation combined with intentional cannabis has been life changing.”
Is it just me or do you also see a lot of people wrestling with anxiety (maybe you included)? The formal statistic is that about 18% of our population is affected by some form of anxiety – although those are the ones medically diagnosed.
Yes, so wonder if I told you that microdosing is only part of the equation for emotional healing? In our “take-a-pill-and-feel-better” culture so many people it appears are doing microdosing and expecting magic!
