Episode 70: Cheech & Chong, Doing Time, & Wisdom From The King Himself (feat. Tommy Chong)

One of the teachings that has changed my life more than any other is the first hermetic principle, which states that the universe is mental. For me, I translate this into the notion that nothing in our lives is objective in nature & in actuality, everything is subjective based on the story/narrative we give it. As such, one could theorize that our fulfillment, joy & ultimate success in life can be characterized by what type of story teller we are & the degree to which the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves & life as a whole are empowering & uplifting, rather than disempowering & draining. Todays guest on the show is a returning guest, dear friend of mine & is someone who has assisted me in creating the most powerful & potent stories from which I can express myself through & share myself with the world as a result of & in this episode, we dive deep into what’s been transpiring in his life, the power of these stories & much, much more.

Over the past year or so, I have really begun to see the implications of what understanding astrology can do for one’s life as my girlfriend, Rachel, has been diving SUPER deep into it.

In todays episode, you will have the opportunity to hear Rachel & I dive into what got her into astrology, some of the wild synchronicities we have shared as a result of this ancient modality, her newest creation combining quantum healing with astrology & much, much more.

One of the biggest opportunities within the plant medicine space is the opportunity to reprogram our subconscious minds, however, like you’ve all heard me say before, the more we learn regarding techniques along the way that can assist in these medicines working more effectively & efficiently, the more success we will ultimately have within this realm. Today's guest on the show is a woman whom I have learned SO much from regarding the ability for us to reprogram our subconscious minds & when you hear her story, my hope is you get the same shivers of possibility & hope in your lives that I did when I experienced her modality firsthand.

When it comes to altered states, it is no mystery that many of us have access to these realms with no medicine necessary. Whether we’re born with this access or we develop it later in our lives, more & more of us are becoming aware of this notion within our lives & if you’re like me, this process can be super confusing as when we deal with qualitative aspects of life, such as the main topic of this weeks discussion, the Akashic Records, it can be hard to know for sure if we’re accessing the same state from person to person. This is why I am SO excited to share with each of you todays guest who is a woman that along with being an Akashic Record reader, yoga teacher, intuitive healer & more, is someone who has helped me dearly with my own health & well being through her work & has helped numerous individuals understand what states such as the Akashic Records are & how to access them.

For me, I found psychedelic medicines during a time in which I was moving through distortions within my experience of life, such as anxiety & depression. What I found in psychedelic medicines was hope where there was once none & while I will never say that these medicines are necessary for everyone, I will say that I, along with many individuals, such as today's guest, have been able to rediscover hope & allow that hope to help them build the lives they know they are capable of living. Today's guest on the show is a master NLP practitioner, where he first learned about the ability of the subconscious to be reprogrammed. He is a coach, who assists his clients in opening up to new possibilities within their lives, is a biohacker, where he helps others get back to their prime state of health & is the founder of the Rewired retreats, where he assists his clients in working with not only plant medicines but also NLP, coaching, biohacking & community to allow them to usher in their next level of evolution & in todays episode, we dive into his journey into psychedelic medicines, his journey of assisting his wife through complex PTSD & severe depression with the assistance of plant medicines, his tips on how to work with these medicines consciously for profound results & much, much more.

For each of you who tune in & listen to this show each week, you know full well that this show has gone from simply speaking to the experiences we have within psychedelic medicines, to articulating the psychedelic LIVES we’ve been able to create as a result of these experiences.

Today's guest on the show is a woman who understands & knows this notion well. From meeting her twin flame & falling in love to connecting with psychedelic medicines &, as you’ll hear in the episode, REALLY opening up some challenging experiences, it’s safe to say that this episode is going to leave each of you with a feeling of confidence & hope in not only connecting with these medicines but also in connecting back to the psychedelic experience that is our lives as a whole to be able to reach our full potential & inspire those around us to also create the absolute BEST experience of life possible.

I imagine for anyone listening to this show right now, we can all agree that the world is going through some monumental shifts. Whether it be in healthcare, spirituality, finance, technology, or any other facet of life, it is clear that we are living during a period that can increase massive awareness in each of us. This being said, many are stuck in old programs of fear & are unknowingly buying into the belief that things are “worse than ever” when, in reality, as you will hear this week's guest & I speak about today, it’s not that things are worse than ever, it’s that we as a society are becoming more aware than we ever have in recent history. Today's guest is a returning guest & dear brother of mine who has been actively practicing medicine work & shamanistic practices for over 20 years in the jungles of Peru & is one of my all-time favorite human beings. Take a ride with us as we dive into the current state of the world & why we choose to believe that the future is extremely bright in all ways as I welcome my man Hamilton Souther back onto the show!

One of, if not the most common questions I receive from individuals who have been in the psychedelic space for some time now is how to know when you need a break from the medicines to integrate. The challenge with this is that ultimately the answer is going to be different from person to person, however, there are some telltale signs to look out for, along with a roadmap of how to understand when you are ready & have the necessary bandwidth to go back to the medicine. This is why in todays episode, I invited my dear brother & business partner, who has taken the last year off of all medicines to integrate to a deeper degree, to come onto the show & share why he decided to take the break, how the break has been, what it has opened up for him & his thoughts surrounding what these periods of integration are truly for within the big picture of life. For those of you out there who are committed to leveling up & are consciously connecting with medicines, trust me when I say that this is one episode that you’re going to want to hit.
