Welcome to 2022 and Season 2 of The Psychedelic Integration Podcast! In our first episode of the new year, we're sharing all about our psychedelic integration philosophy, our coaching philosophy, our transformation philosophy, and our life philosophy. (Hint: They're magically all one thing!) Rise and Align is the term we use to describe how we approach working with sacred medicines as a way of life in a long term and transformative way, and today we're going to explain this process in detail for you.
In this episode, John and Sinclair discuss...
- The expectations you have about medicines and how they work, how they call you
- What healing actually looks like instead is living by spiritual principles and virtues
- How the medicines trick you into remembering you're a divine spirit
- The lifetime process of aligning yourself with the messages from plant medicines
- Symptoms as messengers – physical illness, emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, lack of direction, addictions
- Searching for meaning, clarity, and direction is being caused by an unmet need
- The alarms that bring people to psychedelics and plant medicines
- Symptoms are coping mechanism that your spirit has sent to you to deal with the root cause of whatever is going on
- Being out of alignment with your spirit is the root cause of suffering
- Why so many of us are disconnected from God/Source
- The sacred psychedelic experience lifts the veil and you see that life is eternal and this is just one aspect of consciousness experiencing itself
- You are not alone, you are part of a divine plan, and you are light in a physical body
- So can you just sit in that vibration all the time and not have any symptoms and not be depressed?
- It can feel like that IF you do the work to align yourself and raise your own vibration every day. It's always there
- Programming and sinking back into the lower vibration of forgetting the mystical experience
- Bridging the chasm between the mystical and practical, daily life is a choice
- Why you actually don't want the medicines to "cure" you
- Stepping into the power that you have to choose your vibration and aligning yourself with it
- The pink cloud that happens after the ceremony, the programming returns
- Jealousy, judgment, anger, and old negative behaviors and attitudes pathways are strong, they have some momentum
- People expect you to be the "old" you after medicine, so it can feel lonely to make these shifts into a new way of living and thinking
- The idea that you have to figure it all out alone after the medicine
- Everyone on Instagram is lying to you, medicine work is not easy, it's messy, and it's not love and light all the time
- The media you consume actively tries to fill in the new path you're digging with fear, scarcity, and lack
- Getting support is so important as you transition and transform with medicines, rise into your new vibration, and align your life with your new awareness
- A story about an old man and a young man in a tree chopping contest
- AND MORE!
