yeah it's been a busy month but things are good yeah i'm glad i was able to make this happen and um been following you for some time on facebook and seeing some of the the pictures you post a lot of pictures and it gives you a visual a visual representation of of your work and uh what you're doing some of the things that you're creating um as far as um you know going on on journeys as well plant journeys plant medicines working with plant teachers and cambo was a big one want to talk a little bit about that japa or rap as some people would call it um you you sell some of those things as well what's your what's your main main page because i i just went to your instagram i followed you on instagram today and it seems like you got a pretty good bit of followers on there yeah i mean there's little bits uh everywhere my platform really started on instagram actually um i had a website for a while but it i just yeah it was too much to keep up with so many people just follow me either on facebook or instagram i've got like three different instagram pages ones for the shop one's just to share enlightening info and the other is just a personal journey like my personal experience not just with planet medicines but just with life and so there's quite a few different places uh just depending upon you know different people and where they're at within social media world for sure um what are some of the things that you sell in your in your shop i know that uh you you're working on some blends of rapper that you're getting to to uh sell and um what is it uh um i always mess up the pronunciation of the uh carupas or something karuppi i can't how do you yeah the kitty bay yeah um yeah so i have i have a shop uh primarily on there i actually just sell jewelry that's handmade jewelry but i also work a lot with medicine tools and i make a lot of medicine tools but it's more so on like a personal basis one-to-one basis just because for me i really value the sacredness of these medicines and so it's important for me to get to know each person or client that i'm working with you know have a one-on-one conversation about the medicine find out if people are familiar with the medicine if they're not familiar with the medicine you know and if they're not familiar with the medicine we're able to kind of work through uh the steps on how to work with the medicine why they're working with the medicine but yeah the rape that i get is primarily from brazil and i have gotten medicine rape from peru as well basically what rape is it's a very very very finely ground tobacco a very pure tobacco called mapacho that comes from the amazon and so there's many many different varieties of rape and they each have their own name and oftentimes these rabies are actually named after the tribes that they come from so we've got like katakina which is the rape that i'm going to be working with today which is made by the katakina tribe in brazil and they all kind of vary most of them have makachu in them there are a few blends that do not have mapacho in them um but i really like the mapacho because the way that the amazonian tribes look at mapacho or look at tobacco is it's a master plant you know it's a powerful plant to cleanse to center um to ground the energy and so this medicine is used either on its own as well as in sync and in in synchronicity with other plant medicines depending upon what you're you're doing so um so yeah rape is something that is done on its own this is a medicine that i work with quite frequently and it's not psychoactive in any way but it's very powerful in its own way you know it's very good for grounding us back into our body centering us back into our body it also has this incredible ability just to like cleanse and open the energetic body up you know so there's like blockages emotional blockages mental blockages uh happening in the body this is a great medicine just to clear that up open us back up and there's a lot of physical stuff to balancing of the left and right hemisphere of the brain all kinds of stuff so yeah it's it's amazing it's a really great medicine now when you're using the medicine i usually um use just about a pea size they say just put the size of a p i've seen videos i don't know if it's if it's happening that they're using but like i've seen videos of some of them over in like peru and stuff and they'll just like i mean i don't know if it's if it's the same thing or what it is but they're just like a whole bunch just going straight up is that the same thing have you seen videos yeah using a bunch of it so it really depends upon why you're working with it right so if you're wanting to have a really deep experience with rappe usually you can do quite a lot of it you know and it can bring on massive purging effects you know where your eyes are watering even sometimes you're purging and vomiting i mean i've taken people through experiences with this medicine you know where they're in a full-on five-hour purging experience after it just because that's what the body needs to release at that time you know in the western world we look at purging as something that needs to be suppressed you know feeling sick is something that needs to be suppressed but that's not how it is in these tribal traditional cultures and communities you know purging is something it's like we call it the getting well you know you're going through a getting well process because the body literally needs to release something and so large amounts of rape can usually bring that on you know you go with an in with an intention you know wanting to clear something or understand something and oftentimes again it comes back to those blockages there's something being blocked in the body and so um it can bring on a purging where you're finally releasing that energy you know the energy comes out through that purge but typically you know you if you're working with this medicine on a daily basis you're not you're not going to want that kind of experience every time and so you're doing a very very small amount of it which is usually a piece size amount you know i've even worked with it on with even less than that and it can still be quite powerful but yeah it just depends on your intention with why you're working with the medicine and what you're going in for yeah i've had people come over and they want to try it and stuff and so i'll let them try it and even for me like if you do it just in passing it doesn't really it may just burn it may give you a little a little effect or whatever you may be able to feel it but if you close your eyes and go into it for a moment and allow the tears to come and really set your intention on it then it becomes very powerful with releasing grounding for me like you know i've had some some some stuff that i was holding on that other people were like lashing out there was some gossip of like close friends kind of turned on me and stuff and i could i was carrying that weight you know and so for me to go outside put my feet on the ground and really you know try the uh japa and release and ground it allow the tears to come because it's gonna happen um and it's a very powerful experience and like you said there's different blends some seem a little bit more stronger than the others whether it's if it has nicotine in it or not there's different blends that you can get and for me it's been very it's been very powerful and uh and healing as well with grounding and releasing things if i got feel like there's just too much going on too much too many thoughts i need to get rid of some stuff grounding finding my center literally putting your feet on the ground when you're doing it too helps a lot i think yep yeah definitely um yeah i think that a lot of it too you know is uh it's so it's so taboo compared to a lot of things that we've learned in the western world and so for me when i first started working with this medicine i really had to have someone walk me through it you know there's so many different parts of working with rapid that you begin to learn when you go and you work with it in a more traditional way or even with the tribes and you know the air for instance the air that you're breathing out that you're putting up into the nostril when you're working with it that's your prayer you know and so presence like really coming to a space of presence again you know why are you working with that medicine because that energy that you're putting into it is all a part of the experience and so yeah just learning to really be calm within it that's something i really have to guide people through because you know we tend to go into that that automatic reactionary state to react to the experience rather than just uh allowing and paying attention and observing what's going on in the body that's where a lot of the lessons with the medicine are yeah it's um you know it there's definitely that taboo i think with what people think of putting stuff up your nose i ain't snorting nothing man i'm not snoring nothing's like you don't have to snort anything you blow it it's different like a lot of people who you know have a bad stigma with like cocaine or whatever they used to use cocaine back in the day a lot or something so their mind immediately goes back to i can't snort anything man or or that is some type of drug like that you know when it they always make that connection as well which is yeah it couldn't be anything further from the truth oh 100 percent you know and with rape too it's not like it's just going up into your nose and it's not and it's not you know it's going into the body i mean there's a whole process of closing the throat so you're not swallowing the drop a as well as everything comes back out you know again the blowing of the nose that's part of the purging process it's going in there it's collecting all these things all these energies you're blowing your nose and it's coming all back out it's like a way to collect this stuff and then release it so how long do you wait to to blow your nose i usually try to wait until my nose drips you know that way but yeah that way i don't go into too much um in my mind of okay i gotta get this stuff back out you know really allow the medicine to do what it needs to do pay attention to my body pay attention to the even the subtleties and the experiences happening in my body as i'm sitting with the medicine and then when my nose begins to drip i mean i've got to blow it at that point so that's usually when i i go ahead and blow my nose sometimes i even like to have like a cup or a bucket something nearby so if i need to spit i can also do that yeah and that's that's normal it's kind of part of it um what about like uh when you feel the dripping coming because it starts making its way down your throat trying to get into your belly yeah when you feel that cause i try to sit with it like you said as long as i can but once it starts coming down i try not to swallow because if you swallow at all you're going to swallow some of it you know yeah it's just not going to kill you it's not gonna hurt you yeah yeah exactly i mean if you swallow a little a little bit of it it's okay but again i like to keep a bucket or something nearby because you don't really want to swallow it again it's like pulling all this energy out that you don't want so again it comes back to kind of this taboo right in the western world the uh coughing or burping or you know having to uh uh hakkalugi you know is so weird and obscure in in western world but at the same time you know you got to kind of get into that space where you're comfortable doing that and so because that's part of the process you know that's part of the purging process of getting that out of your throat you know so let it out you suck in first because i feel like i feel like if you suck in you're shooting back up further yeah sometimes usually i'll blow my nose first so i'll blow my nose and then if i need to and there's stuff still stuck in the back of my throat you know i do whatever i need to get it out of the back of my throat so i can get it out i've been um so we we do these uh healing retreats and stuff that we do and i've been kind of uh mindful because we do a lot of breath work kundalini yoga and breath work i've been mindful to uh to do the happy after versus doing it before and then it really intensive like breath work in and out and just lodging it up up i was like let's just wait till after we do the breath work to do that's probably smart right yeah 100 i do a lot of kundalini yoga as well actually um you know i worked in a kundalini yoga community actually helped open one up in thailand just last year and if we worked with rape we always worked with rabbi after kundalini yoga because you go into such a heightened state with brethren working with kundalini yoga and so i've found that our app is really good just to re-center and re-ground really integrate everything that's just taken place and that experience with breath worker kundalini yoga yeah because they're each you know just as powerful by themselves and then when you combine them or kind of have it mapped out something that you want to do it's it's own journey in and of itself yep yeah they go really well together would you like to do some on air with me and kind of show the people and uh again just doing it with that intention not not never i would say never to do anything just to do it right have that intention of grounding and maybe releasing some things as well yeah so this rape that i'm going to do and it is from brazil it's actually from a man that i met while i was in peru his name is gabriel he actually passed away last december so this is the last little bit that i got from him um blessings to gabriel he was a beautiful beautiful person um but yeah this is this blend is katakina this is actually quite strong blend the catechin is that is that different than the katakuna um yes it's a little bit different it's with a yeah katakina katakuna there's kuntanawa mm-hmm the catacombs are different they're from peru right um i'm not sure actually on that blend there's there are so many of them is the thing yeah um oh just uh tears yes do you feel a little bit more um in tune and relaxed after maybe even in conversation and stuff i remember watching some of my older podcasts where we did a little bit before a conversation with a friend of mine here and going back watching that and we had some cocoa resin burning as well and it was just so really mellow you can even hear it in my voice i just feel really connected after particularly yeah there's like a calmness that sweeps over for sure i mean there's like an initial you know but then everything just balances and evens it out you know so nice you know um yeah what's interesting for me is uh if i pay attention i can begin to feel just certain things start to open back up like even in my body like this opening in the very back of my back right between my shoulder blades it's like this expansion that happens yeah i felt it for sure yeah been working out a lot and i could i feel like even looser as i even just did that so it's interesting i know what makes for bad radio if you're listening to this but um if you want to go back and watch the video just to kind of see just a tutorial just an example um how to use it how to work with it and i really just sit into it for a while i know it's kind of bad to do on the radio but to really just sit with it for a little bit you know yeah because that's when the magic is happening with the medicine you know is to be able to sit with it and pay attention because there's all these little subtle things that happen and if we're not paying attention we're missing the entire point or the entire message that you're receiving from the medicine hmm it's good yeah thank you for that that was a fantastic um fantastic idea wow yeah i really appreciate it i don't abuse it i don't abuse anything you know um i don't do it every day uh not not not that that's bad if you do if you have that connection and you want to get closer and you want to learn it that's that's different too um i do have a friend you know we joke about it but he he got some after doing it the first time we went to the um the native american powwow from the ports creek indians and so the first time we did it was at the powwow so we were walking around the powwow and we could really feel grounded and more connected and stuff and um i think we did it again that night when we did our live stream but um he he ended up buying himself and that joker would do it all day like he blew through all of his in like just a couple a week or two or something he was just like he kind of got addicted to it i don't feel like it's addictive but i guess if you have that personality i mean he was just doing it like every day all day kind of thing yeah yeah you know uh i for me because i used to work with this medicine every day um and it's gone on and off and for me the reason that that was is because with anything you know like there's a relationship that has to be built with the medicine in order to really understand it and again for me it also goes back into when you're working with the medicine go into it with intention you know go into it with president presidents you know do it because there's a purpose behind it and if you go into it with that every time nothing can go wrong you know and but yeah there has been certain points to my life where i did use it every day because i needed it at that point there was a relationship that was being built there was a bond that was being built um that i needed with me and that medicine and then there goes to a certain point this is my experience you know and i've talked to other people who've worked with us medicine quite a lot you get to a certain point with any medicine whether it's rappe or it's ayahuasca or it's peyote or you know where you merge with the medicine you know like you become that medicine it's become such a part of you you don't need to use it all the time you know i only work with rap day sometimes once a week sometimes a couple of times a month you know whenever i feel called to it it becomes a reminder a reminder for me of what you know that centeredness that that balance that yeah that openness what is the um whether it's the message with nature or just each plant teacher in and of itself has something to teach you differently do you think that there's an overlying message or does each medicine have something each teacher has something that it wants to impart i think every medicine is there to show us ourselves it doesn't matter which medicine you're working with you know it's like for me it's like this coming back home that's coming back home to nature back to this natural state let's make ultimately back to that vibration of from our hearts you know moving out of our minds moving back into that connection of our heart and so every medicine that i've worked with you know that is the ultimate teaching within it but each one has their own way of doing it you know some are much more gentle some are just like super super you know higher chakras up here you're having all kinds of visions and you're out of body even and some are very grounding but they're all all in some way there to teach the same thing which is teach us us you know who are we interconnected to this you know crazy world now i've never i've never worked with a cambo which is the frog medicine right and um there was a time where i was really you know you know watching your facebook and you were posting pictures and it looked kind of scary you know because like it actually made you swell up when you did it and stuff like that can you talk a little bit about working with the frog medicine camo cambo yeah so cambo is is so unique it's unlike any other medicine i've ever tried um but it is like you're working with cambo you're working with the spirit of the frog as well as actually the secretion from the frog these are giant frogs they almost look like cartoon characters you can find them in certain parts of peru and they they secrete this certain milk or some people call it uh poison um which i don't really like that term or that word because it really is a medicine you know i've worked with this this medicine so deeply that i've been able to experience injur ins and outs of it in such beautiful profound ways but um yeah it's like this deep detoxing process of going in and it pulls toxins from the body it can be quite uh intense from the outside perspective of it because they call it the warrior medicine right so the whole process of it is kind of like that you actually have to get it to go in through the lymph system you don't eat it you can't smoke it nothing like that has to go in through the lymph system and so you burn these holes onto the skin just to expose or go under the very first layer of the skin and then the medicine goes on and within five minutes you go into this space the medicines entered into the lymph system and you go into this space of detoxification and so all these toxins get pulled out from the blood from the organs from everything in the body into the stomach and then you go into a pretty pretty big purging experience so the reason that the face swells sometimes is because again there's a detoxification happening and it comes into the face and so sometimes it swells up the face as things are releasing but it's it's it it's unlike any other medicine you know it's like the the medicine the key medicine to understanding how superhuman we can feel inside of our bodies because once these toxins get cleaned out once these toxins get removed senses are heightened you know colors are are more bright all of a sudden just because there's like this fog that's been lifted um taste foods taste more full you know um your sense of hearing you know you can hear a lot better it's like this cloud that's been lifted after these toxins have been removed from the body and um is it psychoactive at all no no cambo is not psychoactive um you do go into an experienced but it's not psychoactive it's yeah again it's it's unlike any other medicine you know um you went to an experience that's kind of like you you're really aware of your body and your heart begins to rise the heat in your body begins to rise and sometimes you can actually hear your heart beating in your head while you're working with it because it's activating all these different mechanisms inside of your body as it's getting ready basically for this really powerful purge and all the toxins are being pulled into the stomach and then you begin to feel a little bit sick and that sickness is actually coming in because of all these toxins that are being pulled into the stomach and then you go into a purging experience so beforehand you actually drink a bunch of water you you do a 12-hour fast at least a 12-hour fast before and and then right before the medicine is put on you drink a bunch of water because the water acts as a carrier for all these toxins they get into the stomach and then you purge and you'll see all these crazy colors come out of your body you know yellows greens blues orange and all these colors are actually toxins that have been held in the body for sometimes your entire life you know yeah that's um i mean we're talking about the purging and i know you mentioned you know being sick and stuff like that earlier that the body's sick and holding these things and it's actually a good thing when we throw up or we purge and stuff like that your body knows what it needs i mean there was times in the past where i was like had a crazy food addiction and i would eat so much food and i would throw it up after it was almost like i was anemic or bulimic or whatever like i couldn't hold food down it was because i was gorging myself on fast food like it was i wasn't even hungry but it was time to eat so i would order a big huge meal and i would throw it up and i couldn't stop myself and um but with that but then like getting sick like with flu-like symptoms if you will um whether it almost feels like a lot of times that sickness comes because you need to purge and you you've been walking around with all of these toxins in your body and your body's like no so your body heats up and you have a temperature and we've been taught in the west that we need to keep that temperature down like oh he's running 101. we need to bring it down but like your body's going through purging out and burning up that stuff that's not supposed to be in you so the purging the diarrhea like all of that stuff is serving you it's helping get all of that bad stuff out of you and you you notice that when you come back when it's time to eat or when you feel you start feeling better you feel so clean you feel so good like even though like it was kind of hard going through it it was scary it didn't feel good but on the other side of that purge of that sickness if you will some would call it you feel so much better and that's just something just like through observation it's almost like if your body if you're not taking care of your body your body's gonna like make you get sick and take care of itself right oh yeah 100 um and the nice thing too about cambodia you know is it's such a fast experience you know you're not going into it six-hour campbell experience like you would if you were stepping into an ayahuasca ceremony you know cambodia usually once the medicines applied is typically not every time but usually on average about 20 minutes you know so you're going through this very fast it's like you're so is the swelling that long or does the swelling last a lot longer everybody doesn't swell you know swelling only happens a certain percentage of the time for most people and so for me i mean i've worked with this medicine hundreds of times probably at this point and for me i probably have swelled i don't know maybe 10 times but when the swelling happens it's like you you you almost want it to happen because you just have this deep experience you feel this cleanliness you know it's like your face swells up but then the swelling goes down you should go down within 24 hours you know sometimes you know within an hour even after you just sat with the medicine the face will start to go down but then afterwards it's like your complexion you know your skin just looks incredible because all of these toxins all of this stuff just got flushed all through your face and all through you know everything i mean i've even seen the hand swell the feet swell you know the medicine's just going in it's causing this the swelling so that it can pull things out that's awesome your body knows what it needs for sure and go just going through that process of like the first time i did kundalini yoga was with um just our online video with um what's her name guru mook if you know who that is um and i felt like i was uh i felt like a dirt like a like a rag like a dirty rag that got rinsed out because there was like muscles in my body that i haven't used and like they kind of got exercised and even doing in and connecting it with the spiritual work with all of the different movements and things like that um i felt clean afterwards and again like every the air smelled different and this wasn't even ingesting anything this was just in some pretty deep intense kundalini yoga but it's just that essence of cleaning yourself out spiritually you know your muscles like using them it was an amazing experience my first time doing kundalini yoga and i feel like that purging and just that you know cleaning yourself spiritually is what all this stuff kind of kind of does it helps you see things and you don't even know that you don't know that you're you know you're carrying you know toxins in your body because you're we i think in the west we've gotten used to feeling like crap like most of us we're like oh yeah like our normal is way below how we're supposed to be operating but we're used to it we've learned to manage of being tired all the time of of being of having doubt and worry and fears and trauma like that's our normal we've gotten used to it it's not until you step into a experience like this whether it's with the plants or kundalini yoga or breath work or whatever it is that is that you want to uh to tap in with um that you're able to experience it and and feel how beautiful it is on the other side yeah what i think that you hit the nail right on the head actually is you know i don't think people realize just how i'm going to use the word sick um but people don't realize just how sick they are in their bodies you know or how tired they are in their bodies or how out of balance they are in their bodies because we so many of us in the western world and even all over the place have grown up and we've just grown up into a imbalanced environment you know and we've been taught all of these habits all of these ways of living these programs really to live in a certain way eat certain foods treat our bodies a certain way and so yeah when you move into something and you dedicate you know time in your life to cleansing which is so important there's shifts that take place where all the sudden you know for me something opens up and it's like wow i didn't even know that i could feel like this i didn't even realize that i that this tiredness was existing inside of me all of these years until this moment when i finally released it you know and something that cambos taught me a lot actually is you know we talk about trauma and we talk about uh emotional suppression talk about all these different things all of those things are connected into our physical body you know and they can manifest as all kinds of things they can manifest as being overweight they can even manifest as being underweight they can manifest as some sort of disease or illness or sickness in the body you know some people even get get cancer or they're dealing with depression they're dealing with all these things and there's usually all kinds of physical ailments that go into that the body's been holding on to so when you go through a huge detoxing process and you finally begin to release that you begin to watch the body come back into a natural balanced state where it feels good like we're supposed to feel good in our body our bodies are designed to feel good but if we are constantly in that space of just filling ourselves up but not emptying it then we begin to to forget we just kind of get used to feeling a certain way or being a certain way and we just think oh this is how life is yeah diet plays a big big role in that i remember like one of my first times the first couple times eating like uh like a green smoothie making a green smoothie and i literally felt high like my body was thanking me because it felt so good from putting all of these nutrients in my body i'm like wow this feels awesome versus on the other side of what's the opposite of that eating a bunch of cheeseburgers greasy fries and cheese sticks and all this fried food which i feel feel bad like i feel heavy you know you know you feel like you did you you feel like you committed a sin you know what i'm saying at least i do i'm conscious of what i put in my body even when i was doing it and couldn't stop like i felt like i wasn't that's not what my body wanted and i was like sinning against my own body you know what i'm saying um but you don't know how unless you do it and i try to tell people look try a green smoothie man put put a bunch of really cool stuff in there and see how you feel i literally tell people i feel like i got high off of a green smoothie you know oh yeah yeah it's so good i don't uh i think that a lot of people in in our society today you know that we're we're running off of malnourishment we don't even realize it because we're fee we're eating so many processed foods we're eating so much fast food reading food that is high in calorie but there's no nutritional value and so when there's no nutritional value in our food and we're continuing to eat that we're constantly feeling hungry and why are we constantly feeling hungry we're constantly feeling hungry because we're malnourished our bodies are craving vitamins they're craving nutrients and if we aren't getting that we're going to always be hungry it's going to be this perpetuating eating disorder basically and then you get addicted to the fast food and the oreos your body starts craving it because it's used to it and so i remember when i was driving for a living my wife would would pack me a lunch and stuff and i would be hungry man i i would be hungry around eight o'clock but i think eight o'clock would average out to be about my noon because i would go to work so early um but i'd be so hungry and i would eat everything in the uh that she prepared for me which was like a sandwich uh a bag of chips even like like i don't know if it was carrots or whatever it was decent food but i would still feel hungry after eating a whole bunch of food and it was that feeling in my mind i thought i was hungry it was like i was addicted to sodium i got my was addicted but if i would stop and get a burger or stop and get a breakfast biscuit it would go away so it's like these things felt like they were curbing my appetite but there really wasn't my body was addicted to the all the salt you know all of the stuff that's in there that we're overdoing it but you got to be able to identify that most of the time when we have those hunger pains we're not even hungry we're just we our bodies craving the the junk that we've been putting in it you know yeah and you know i always say that there's either two reasons that we're hungry one is the thing that i mentioned before we're malnourished we're not feeding our bodies the appropriate things that it really needs the other two is a lot of us are filled with all kinds of things like candida you know candida is a yeast in the system or parasites many of us have parasites we don't even realize it and then there's all these unhealthy bad bacterias well these different things are feeding off a lot of these processed foods if we have high amounts of candida or we have certain parasites in our system they're sending literally sending signals and messages to our brains telling us to eat these certain foods and if they're not getting those certain foods we're constantly craving them you know and so that's why it's so important to detox and cleanse the body you know that's one of those things actually the cambodia does is it it starts to clean that stuff out you know it'll kill the parasites it'll kill the candida and so you'll begin to actually watch this shift happen in your food i like to call it food sovereignty you know you finally have power over what it is that you're eating your food doesn't have power over you anymore in order to get to that point you gotta clean all the [Â __Â ] out you know you gotta you gotta clean out the parasites you gotta clean out the candida you got to rebalance your gut flora you know get rid of all that bad unhealthy bacteria and and add in those nice probiotics you know that are going to balance out your moods you know make it so that you're you're not feeling depressed or anxious or gut health is so so so important and it goes both ways it's our first brain detox and then nourish it's our first brain your gut like and i don't know i don't please i don't want to sound facetious here but um and when i was in the church realm and stuff and it'd be we'd go to a lot of churches and revivals and stuff and they would be they were there were families who were so called like prophets and hear from god and speak as the oracles of god but the whole family was obese and i never could take them seriously like if they're trying to give me advice spiritually or whatever it's like like i think one of the things that that is communicated through uh just mindfulness is um or even one of the fruits of the holy spirit in the bible is um self-control being able to show control over everything your food your sex drive your emotions you're not easily angered even if you are angered you have to control yourself like and don't do something stupid um or slam a whole row of oreos you know um for so for me i remember seeing that these families that were it was one family in particular but a lot of them you know a lot of the big names they were like morbidly obese they're not just heavy people they were like morbidly obese giving spiritual advice and and again i don't want to sound shallow or facetious but that was just something that i connected to like hey i don't know how much advice i need to take from this person when it comes to the gifts of the spirit walking in the spirit which is self-control being able to control yourself oh yeah 100 i think that living what you preach is the you know that's that's how we become the example i can't sit and tell i can't sit and give somebody on advice on something that i've never even experienced or i've just only thought about you know if someone comes to me and they they look healthy you know we're having a conversation they're vibrant they have this energy about them i'm gonna list them because they've got something that i'm looking for they got something that i want you know how did you get there but you know if i'm sitting in front of someone you know i think this comes back to even the the pharmaceutical health industry a lot you know you go to these doctors and and i'm and i'm not you know down playing western medicine i think that it plays a really important role as well but there's still certain parts of it you know you go to a doctor and you're talking about certain health things they're trying to give you health advice but they're obese they're sick themselves it's like so is your medicine really working you know how can i take advice from you when this medicine's not even working for you so i think that living what you preach you know you want to be an advocate for health you want to be an advocate even for spirituality i see this all the time within the spiritual community live what you preach you know be that example that's the best form of a teacher is to just be the living embodiment of it yeah 100 and i was real big into like um i come out of the really deep religious christian realm and i was a christian minister and kind of still am in a sense like that's still my framework or whatever um but like uh i remember like exposing people and calling them out for their their preaching bad theology or over emphasizing money or whatever and it was a real i was in a bad place now i didn't i thought i was doing god's will back then but uh i felt this this download i felt god speak to my spirit and say look if you want to combat the evil and the bad stuff that these people are preaching even in the church realm like the best way to do it is not to label these people or to attack them and make it personal the best way is just to show them the right way to do it don't name these people's names don't call them out if it's wrong teach it the right way and you'll and and it was like for some reason it should be like you should just know that but for me it was a deep revelation i was like you know what i'ma try it and things changed for me it wasn't so personal anymore with these preachers or these people you know deceiving the masses you know what i'm saying because people people look for teachers that that tell them what they want to hear so you're gonna there's somebody out there who who you know you can find if even if that person stopped there's another one in their place but for me it was it wasn't personal but i understood that again be that example be the change that you wish to see in the world you know yeah yeah i mean i got goosebumps as you're saying that because i think that that is such a key thing you know we live in a world today where even spirituality has almost become this fad you know and people want to look a certain way and they want to do certain things because that's that's what's popular right now that's what our friends are doing and so begin to label ourselves with all these things but at the end of the day that's not what it's about you know we're not here to label ourselves we're not here to to to create titles you know necessarily it's about living and embodying our truths you know our souls like what who who it is we really are from our hearts and um you know that's something that i i've even had to work a lot of of things through i remember i was sitting in one of my first ayahuasca ceremonies actually you know and that medicine is you go in it's like your whole ego is stripped you know and you're sitting with all of your stuff and that was a big thing that came up for me because of the the time i like to use words like like i'm a channeler or um you know i'm i'm a priestess or i'm a goddess which yeah of course i am in my own right but these were all these labels and in those experiences i'm literally being shown what those things mean and so i came out of it like wow i got a lot of work to do you know um i don't i don't necessarily feel like those are things that we should should just be labeling our style ourselves you know it's like you walk into a room and people people know because they can feel it from you and that's where we're headed towards you know that authenticity that living embodiment of whether it's a goddess or a priestess or a healer or whatever it is you know we don't need to call ourselves these things just become it you know like you'll you'll feel it and just be that living embodiment of it and yeah everything else is i don't know yeah my first um experience with with psilocybin um we took a trip to new orleans a friend of mine had a um float tank shop a sensory deprivation tank and he was going to let us come there and and use the float tank and and go in on psilocybin he's going to let us spend the night there too so it's like really cool so we go there so we planned this trip with a bunch of guys it was kind of like our first little retreat that we did so me and and and two other guys um we got into new orleans but i called ahead we wanted to like make it a ceremony kind of thing and really prepare ourselves so i got online and looked up a reiki practitioner tried to find something i called several different shops didn't know who to uh uh go with and talk to this one lady and she gave me her prices and i was like okay well thanks so much and i'm just gonna call around and then two minutes later she called back and said hey i know i said this but i'll do the group session for that you know it's okay and it just felt better when she called back so i said let's book it so i end up booking this session we get into new orleans and we go right to uh the reiki session as we come into town and we go to her shop and everything and she's leading us in a group reiki session like group meditation and then she's kind of like doing reiki on each of us in the room it was really powerful beautiful experience we felt really connected it was a good way to kind of set that intention going in um ended up becoming really good friends with her uh jess treagle i did a couple shows with her but she's awesome um we go to the float tank shop and uh we partake of the medicine the psilocybin mushrooms i think i did about two grams two and a half grams get in the float tank and i'm having my little experience and stuff and you're just having these downloads and these revelations and you're more intuitive you're more um introspective if you will about your life about decisions how to move forward let's begin to get all these downloads about my future and my destiny and how to step in it and um i had this overwhelming sense of wanting to be a healer and a lot of it came from like having that session with this this lady you know and and just the thought that she gets to wake up and do what she loves for a living she gets to help people work through their trauma do energy work and like and she gets she makes a living off of it and she and does what she loves and that was something that seemed so unattainable for me but as i was like communing with the universe with god i was i'm getting these downloads about how to do that like this is how you do it these are the steps that you need to take and there's some things you need to get out of your life there are some smoking habits and some some of this and using foul language all the time you gotta you gotta quit listening to bad music and it was just this introspective thing and i'm writing it down but this overwhelming sensation of wanting to be a healer and wanting to wake up and do what i love for a living which seems so far for me and uh and in this communion it was downloaded to me that you're not going to become a healer you already are and and then i was like given this review of different my music my podcast everything that i do setting up prayer meetings and stuff for people it's all about healing so like god was showing me that you already are a healer you're not there's nothing that you're gonna become it's already within you you're not becoming some someone if if anything it's already deep within you and you have to bring it out and there's things that you need to do and steps you need to take and things you need to lay down and so for me it was profound i wrote about it in my book it it changed my life i followed those steps and i've got to where i am today and uh my my psilocybin journeys have been powerful i've only had a few but they've been very uh powerful profound and life-changing for me what about you uh psilocybin have you you worked with that at all yeah yeah i've worked with uh psilocybin so much in yes ceremonial settings in its own right um but more so you know psilocybin for me is the way to go on my own private journeys and connect with nature you know i actually just did a psilocybin journey i think like four days ago and so yeah i really like that medicine because it's it's it has this gentleness to it or the spun to it you know it's like the the i've heard it's like the mushroom children you know you've got ayahuasca that's the grandmother you've got beyotes that's the the grandfather and then you have mushrooms which is connected to this like childlike energy and so um yeah i've worked with that medicine it's helped me to connect with that actually quite a lot and yeah i just feel like this uh i don't know i feel like mushrooms for me also has like this link to some deep ancestral stuff you know so it's like a really powerful way even for me to to both connect with nature and my own ancestral roots and so yeah i love i love that medicine for sure that so that was the um the i would say microdose but that was a small dose and then after that we did another one which was i did like a little bit over five grams and it was kind of like a hero dose and going in and so yeah we did it at the um on indian land and i'm i'm native american and so you're talking about the ancestral roots like that was definitely communicated that all of your ancestors have passed this is a rite of passage that you guys have forgotten about all of your ancestors your great great grandfathers have done this and even on this land they've done what you're doing and um it was a rite of passage for sure and we were we don't have that anymore in in the west like the rite of passages i think are going to college and get hazed into a college fraternity i don't know but there's not really anything that resembles some of the different uh paths of the ancients that are in our dna that we're longing for and we don't even know it until we go out on this kind of a journey and um you know it's it was beautiful you know life-changing encounters man yeah i think that that's important i think i feel like that's something that we really need to bring back and i think that's slowly slowly making its way back more people are realizing it but yeah the rights of passage i think that's a big reason that even you know a lot of men and women today are confused about what it means to be a man or a woman because i haven't gone through these these rites of passage ceremonies that give them that that uh i don't know that shift i guess you could call it a shock that all to be alive i mean that's huge that's you know like oh my god i think i died and came back i don't know where i was like you're earning you know you're earning something you know a lot of these things they need to be earned and so i that's what a right to passage ceremony really is you know when when i first started working with cambo cambo came into my life and i had to go through a pretty intense rights of passage ceremony with cambo you know like and it wasn't necessarily i didn't do it with like the iakp or anything this is something i would recommend really to to too many people if to anyone you know this is my own thing this came into my life in this way but the way that i worked with this medicine and the way that i i that the teacher that i work with with it we did five days on the mountain water fasting and we work with cambo every single day twice a day so it's like 10 ceremonies within a five day experience and you know you really get to know that medicine in order to be able to work with it in that kind of way and so for me that was a right to the passage you know you're going through this pretty intense experience you know you're you're having to earn your your earn this shift basically that you go through to have that kind of communion or that kind of understanding um and yeah i mean i think that's so important i was i was working with a group of people in atlanta georgia actually and they do rights of passion passion ceremonies uh the man that i work worked with he's from brazil uh and and he worked quite a lot with ayahuasca and so that was a big big thing you know that he taught me a lot and rights of passage was an important one and so he put together all these different rites of passage ceremonies and people will come together you know you're going through an initiation you know it's not an easy experience you're going into the shadows you're you're going through something that's challenging you can you do this you know can you show up for this thing can you show up for yourself and you get through that and there's a giant shift that happens you know it's like there's like this empowerment that comes from that where you've earned this uh i don't know how to say it's like an energy it's like an energetic shift that takes place but yeah i think that's something that really really really uh lacks in today's society and if we could bring that back oh man the shifts the world would go through you know like the the respect that we we would have for one another i feel like there's a uh a universal right of passage as well that we go through collectively as a people as a nation uh and then as um you know on an individual level as well but i think we're we're like inducted into what what greg brady greg braden would call like a universal universal mystery school where we're all in and we're all taking these tests and for me when it comes to tests and trials and and even video game terminology for me of like you know passing the test and going to the next levels and things like that it makes a lot of sense um but i think that like uh you know dealing with the trauma and the hurt and the loss and the gossip and the backbiting and the judgment all of that stuff are like tests that you're taking to ascend to the higher levels and the way you pass those tests is responding with love forgiveness empathy um responding from the heart up living from the heart up that those kind of things and so um i think that we're all inducted into that that we're going through those rites of passage but i think that a um indigenous rite of passage prepares you to take the the other tests that you're going to have to go through regardless you know it's like almost like doing your homework kind of thing and doing the inner work so that you can pass these tests with ease and grace well i think part of it too you know for me it has to do with tools you know having the tools that you need to be able to pass these tests and if you don't have the appropriate tools to get there it's going to be make it really challenging and and so yeah like the different initiations or rites of passages for me were these gifts that i was given to have the tools to be able to get through life you know when things would happen when circumstances would happen you could call what's happening in the world right now you know a rites of passage and the world is going through it right now together and some of us are are doing it with more grace than others but we're all going through it right now yeah for sure no and again for me i and you can recognize you can recognize those of those those of us who have a lot of tools and we're using our tools we've got a lot of tools in our tool belts whether it's breath work and meditation or it's working with rap bay or you know being able to find your center go through a process you're able to release because i do see the world going through this dark night of the soul experience together and if you've never gone through an experience like that you've never been given the the tools to be able to come out the other side of that it can make it really really difficult and so um yeah i think that that's something really important you know is to be able to have those tools to find those tools to go on a mission to figure out what your tools are to be able to protect yourselves when you need to protect yourself to be able to build the strength and the power to be able to overcome certain obstacles in life to be able to recenter yourself and reground yourself when you go through something that's super emotional there's a lot of turmoil going on around you you know and so i think yeah you know that's that's what our the beginning whole thing with rappy is about you know all this is is it's a tool yes it's connected to the plant medicine world and it's a really powerful tool connected to nature but at the end of the day it's it's a tool it's a tool to help us experience ourselves and experience our lives in a more graceful aware way now with with um these ceremonies and stuff you've been around the world where some of the different places that you've been in people that you've um went on whether it's journeys with or just sat with different indigenous people and customs from all over the world what's some of the places that you've been um so i have been my journey the first time i ever left the states um i went to thailand i'd always wanted to go to thailand thailand is what opened me up to the pasadena meditation actually and i learned about meditation and i had done guided meditations you know i'd done these different meditation meditation things trying to figure out what meditation was but it wasn't until i learned about the pasta that i figured out what meditation really is for me you know so the pos when i went to a vipassana meditation retreat it's 10 days of silence you're not even making eye contact with anyone you're in your own space and you're meditating every day for 10 for 10 hours every day for these 10 days you're waking up every morning at like 3 4 in the morning and basically it's the awareness of reality as it really is and what the meditation is it's body scanning for 10 hours a day you're going through every single part of your body to feel if you can feel your body in a physical way and as you go through the 10 days there's this massive energetic clearing that happens through your entire body through your entire being so um when i was in thailand that was a big thing that came to my reality while i was there the following year after that i got the opportunity to go to india actually another place i'd really really wanted to go india was incredible you know this was one of the most uh eye-opening experiences that i personally have ever had because it's like walking into another planet you know way people think the way the family structures um the way people dress uh you know obviously the language the way the town the towns are it's like it's like walking into another planet and so when i got there you know i was there for six months and i went there actually to study yoga because i've always been super drawn to yoga but there was something missing for me here in the west you know i i wanted to get to the root of yoga i wanted to learn more about the eastern philosophies with yoga and so i went there actually and i studied kundalini yoga and i worked with i think you mentioned her gurmukh right you mentioned earlier yeah so gurmukh was was my my teacher actually that i worked with under the golden bridge um and we we went and did a kind of ashram style that's how i did my my my teacher training and it was basically i think it was like 30 days ostrom setting you're wearing all white you're wearing the turban and you're again you know you're doing yoga many many hours every single day you're learning about yoga philosophy all that but it gave me this really powerful platform you know of self-discipline that was another a really important key for me of self-discipline and so um and so we wake up every morning three a.m and then we'd go into our thing so that's what india gave me india provided me this understanding of what yoga really was along with many other other things as well and then i also went to peru i was in peru just last year reason i went to peru plant medicine's been been a big part of my life a big part of my journey since i was 23 it came into my life and so um i've worked with a lot of different people from all over the world who work with ayahuasca i mean there's a woman in the uk that works with it from her in her own ways and from her own uh ancestral connections she works with it worked with a guy from brazil uh that works with it in his own way and then i when i was in peru i got to work with it from this chipebo lineage you know which is is a very specific way you work with ikeros you work with the the more shapibo traditional ways of working with ayahuasca so they sing the ichiros and the ceremonies um and it was just unbelievable you know it was it was amazing it was intense it was powerful and yeah i've been i've been a little bit of everywhere and each place was a soul experience like a soul journey that i was going on and so each place provided me with different things you know the pasta meditation the kundalini yoga the plant medicine and they all kind of have come back together i mean um yeah and i've lived in these places and there's nothing like traveling the world you know you really get a perspective of what life is when you travel the world you know you're in a different you're not in a schedule you know you're not working any nine to five you're getting to experience life you're getting to experience yourself and so for me i really learned what it means to be able to be the creator of my reality to be able to manifest things you know and um and so yeah i mean yeah i've been a little bit of everywhere i go back to peru actually next year in february i'm going for dieta against people lineage but each place has its own thing to offer that's awesome and you know putting yourself in other people's shoes that really helps too of uh you know getting out uh from around the norm you know uh whether it's you're visiting somebody else so for me it was like watching documentaries and i remember watching fahrenheit 911 or whatever it really had it really imparted like this empathy for dif people you know in the uh east or whatever who um who who we we were told were our enemies kind of thing and i thought these are just regular families and people like they're just trying to do life and like you know just having to change the scenery and putting yourself in other people's shoes really helps and versus you the world revolves around america or the world revolves around your state or your city or you which is how a lot of people probably feel even unknowingly that they feel like that way a reality revolves around them i mean i went through some big massive realizations and shifts when i went to india actually you know because you talk about poverty there's different things here but when you go to india there's a different level of poverty that's happening there so i remember going into these communities when i was in india i was in rajasthan and we went to these these villages in these villages i mean these people are living on the ground in the desert and they're living in little straw huts beautiful people i i connected with this one family and the guy played an instrument for a living you know gathering um any sort of tips basically that he could get from playing his uh what is the name of the instrument sitar but yeah that's what he did for a living making very very very little money he had a daughter and she only had the clothes on her back you know didn't wear didn't really have shoes and they're struggling every single day for food you know there's no proper education there there's no there's no proper health care of any sort there and so it really opened my eyes and gave me such a different understanding of how privileged so many of us are just being able to live in in the states or being able to live in the uk or live in canada in the western world it's a very very very different reality over there do you think that they understood that as poverty or that they were struggling or had to do without or was that just that that's their their normal life at this point it's how reality works for them yeah it's just normal you know and they were quite happy people for the most part you know they they definitely had uh different things like certain health things or you know uh fears that we don't have to think about but for the most part you know they were very content with the life that they lived they were very happy the really beautiful thing also about it is there's such a powerful communion there you know community family is so important the village is so important and they all help each other out you know they're helping each other out to take care of the families they're helping each other to take care of each other and so i think that that's a really vital part of it too you know that that plays a really important role in in the happiness but you know i also got to see some pretty devastating stuff too um the family that i was spending a lot of time with while i was there um i i get a call one day from somebody in the village you know and they still have cell phones they've got these little you know crappy cell phones but they still have cell phones uh phone service there is like incredibly cheap you know you're playing like a dollar to two dollars for an entire month of service right so i get a call and somebody in the village's uh little house had just burned down so i run to the village i go to the village and these people are just devastated you know they left actually for some funeral the grandfather had died and then they came back to the village and their their stuff had burnt down you know and and i just remember the look on the woman's face the woman's face that you know she has a little daughter and she is just devastated you know and i remember hearing her she's speaking rajasthani and i'm asking what is she saying and and the husband's saying she's saying that she doesn't want to live anymore she doesn't want to live anymore you know she's tired she doesn't want to live anymore and again it was just that moment of like wow you know the reality the reality of this they they already have such little and to lose that you know even their little straw house was just i don't know again it put things into perspective for me for sure sure it's um yeah perspective is key i watch i mean i'm fascinated with it i definitely want to go to india and um i watch a lot of like vloggers who go there and uh and interact with the people and looks really really cool have you uh do you remember or have you seen um it was a guy named um baba the cosmic barber did you ever check any of his videos on on youtube he's passed away now but he had like a little van or a little uh trailer or something and um people would come in to get a shave and a cut and um he would be doing like energy work on them while he's shaving them it's amazing like you can it's like real asmr because when you're watching it you can feel like the energy and it just looks and feels relaxing he's massaging them but as he massages them he like pulls the energy and throws it and pulls it and throws it and he's like rubbing your head and he takes the energy it just looks so relaxing and refreshing but i think his son's trying to step into his shoes but he passed away a couple years ago but those videos are awesome he's in he was in india but uh yeah when you get a chance check it out uh baba the cosmic barber really awesome yeah that's beautiful yeah you know that was another thing even about india too is that those kinds of things those aren't that's not taboo there you know like like spirituality isn't just something that people don't just talk about spirituality that's just like infiltrated into their culture everywhere you walk no matter what city you're in there's altar set up all over the city there's small temples set up set up all over the city i mean it would be interesting even going to pay for something you go and you you pay them for something and they do a blessing on their money like wow thank you you know like there's this whole action that takes place every time they pass an altar you know there's there's this a moment of recognition like thank you you know that's just part of their culture it's just part of the way that they live that's awesome um let me ask you about this too we'd like to talk to talk about this a lot on here what about um enlightened beings angels aliens ufos any experience with with those type of entities yeah i mean yeah definitely all of them [Laughter] uh that was a big part of my awakening you know um was actually that it's what i was kind of shaken into it when i was pretty young i think i was when i was 19. i mean i had experiences even before then but at 19 as well i was really shaken into a whole other experiences i would wake up and sleep paralysis every single morning i mean this happened for months and to the point where i can't move you know i'm completely paralyzed but i could open my eyes and i remember seeing all kinds of beings in the room and uh and they used to kind of [Â __Â ] with me actually you know it's pretty scary in the beginning because i'm like what the heck is going on so from that i started reaching out you know luckily there was the internet so i was able to reach out and just say start asking forums and stuff like have you ever experienced anything like this like what is going on like why is this happening i mean i was scared to go to bed at certain points before it was happening staged my room every single night before i went to sleep and luckily i started getting answers i got in contact with this guy actually who did a lot of astral projection and he started giving me a lot of tips on things and he said yeah you're going to sleep paralysis but that can be a really important stage into the astral realm or even lucid dreaming you know and so when these things are happening you know be aware of that and uh remember you know you can tell these beings they're not allowed to be there because i mean i used to have things come in and they would touch my face yeah they would touch my back and i'm paralyzed it was you know say things into my ear and weird languages that i didn't recognize and so i remember one morning i woke up in sleep paralysis you know and there's a being at the end of my bed and i remember this message that came to me super loud and clear and it said all you've got to do is send love send love and let it know that it's not allowed to be there and so i did that it was like this embodiment that i i had to put myself into if i i love you you're not allowed to be here and really embody that energy and then i watched this entire room that i was in transform you know went from like this dark gloomy cloudy you know spirit beings there to all of the sudden the whole room is bright and light and almost like sparkly you know and for some reason there's like a rainbow on the wall and then i remember for some reason seeing this little seahorse i don't know why i see horse but i remember seeing this little seahorse just floating by me and it was a huge shift for me because from that point forward it was like i realized in that experience that the power lied with me you know and so the beings that were coming there it was like i was attracting them i was attracting them through my thoughts i was attracting them through fear and so when i really learned about uh switching that energy into love i started practicing astral projection um i was able to actually choose if i wanted to ask projector or go into lucid dreaming and so um yeah i got i i met a lot a lot of different beings and experienced a lot of different things um but yeah that was a bit that was a big part of my journey was was that point when all that was happening yeah a lot of people start off with the dark you know it's what kind of opens the door that's that you know something's real and if the dark is real and these entities are real and scary experiences are real then why not hire beings why not beautiful entities why not entities and beings that want to help you and angels why is it demons you know it's so funny too because like the church around where i come from like everybody had those experiences about the demons and casting out demons and seeing a demon in this and seeing a demon there and demons coming through the movies and stuff well if that's possible then the angels can do the same thing they can come through the movies they can show up in the middle of the night those kind of things you know yeah you know i think that a big part of it is is the movies that we watch you know like what's shared there's so many horror movies out there i mean there's so many movies about extraterrestrial beings and a lot of them are really negative we get that in our mind then we become really afraid of these things we become really afraid of these other places and if we're in that space we're automatically you know demonizing this these kinds of energies and that's what we're going to experience that's what we're going to see you know it's what we're attracting into our reality and so that's why for me that that point in my experience was so important where everything shifted from this dark gloominess to this beautiful experience with rainbows and you know all these amazing preachers you know but it was all it was all in my own vibration it was all in what i was putting out you know and so yeah from all the crazy movies out there and things can shift in really beautiful ways yeah i usually uh tell people that you know right you know when you tap in the stuff that you're entertaining in your waking hour like you're gonna see that on the other side and i just did a video yesterday i would say it went viral but as far as viral as far as i'm concerned getting decent amount of views far of any video i've done was a a video where i said that uh the video was titled that god gave me a dream about the end of the world america is going to be destroyed i i named it that to prove a point because there's a lot of people with those videos they go viral the fear-based stuff but i went in to talk talk about dreams and how dreams what those dreams mean and it's and they get you get your dream symbolism from the things that that is relevant to you and your psyche your monster movies that you're watching what is a demon who is a boogeyman like to some people like your uncle's gonna be your boogeyman your uncle was a friend of me he comes to me in a dream as a friend but to you your uncle is the embodiment of evil you know what i'm saying so when your uncle shows up it just it what does it represent to you these same symbols these same things represent different things to different people so understanding the dream symbolism and and and what it means to you is the stuff that you're entertaining and dealing with so when you start letting beautiful things in your psyche and being fascinated with the light and this and stuff you kind of attract those things and when you do tap in through meditation through breath work through having these different dreams and stuff like you position yourself to be encountered by the higher level entities but and also it goes into what you're doing not just what you're watching but what are you participating with and so i remember when i first got into i wouldn't say spirituality was more of a cult and witchcraft i would call it that and satanism even um i was doing a lot of bad stuff robbing people let's say rob yeah robbing people stealing gang activity lying cheating whatever i could um and then i would do rituals to tap into the other side guess who i saw the beings that accompanied that type of um um activities they were there i got to see him and he tormented me and scared me and like i did a bunch of rituals and stuff trying to make contact and none of them worked until they all worked like at one time it was like a freaking portal sucking me in and out almost lost my mind i was a teenager and so but now on this side i've done the inner work i'm forgiving myself forgiving my enemies you know and doing the family um ancestral cleansing i mean any area i can to find healing and to promote it and help people but now when i tap in i'm assisted by angels or or christ or whatever and it's just a beautiful encounter i don't have those dark encounters like that anymore that's not my norm my normal beautiful encounters now yeah 100 i fully agree with you yeah for me it's like this this trust that is built you know i had i had to go through again it comes back to cleansing a big cleansing of of ideas and things that i had seen things that i believed in order to create that shift you know because i think and i think that a lot of it comes back to what we experience is what we think what we believe you know it's all reflections uh you made a point about dreams and the boogeyman you know and and how you interpret your dreams as you look at it as a symbology every single thing within that dream is a representation of you whether it's night outside or it's a lie you know during the day outside or you encounter someone in your dream what does that person represent for you that's an aspect of yourself everything is an aspect of ourselves and so i like to look at my life that way too you know someone comes in or something happens you know it's some sort of reflection for me it's a message that's happening there's a symbology that's there so it doesn't matter you know if you're in your waking life you're in your dreaming life or you're in the middle of a psilocybin or ayahuasca experience everything that's being encountered is a reflection of us in some way it's there to show us some part of ourselves something to either deep program or learn or heal whatever it is yep yeah and just being consciously aware again everything's an extension of your psyche and uh everything you're interpreting but then again like you said in in your waking state it's bigger too uh when somebody um triggers you triggers you and brings something out of you i still get it when people want to debate me and people do videos about me like i saw i shake a little bit and i had to okay yeah okay you still care about the opinions of others and what people think of you and trying to run your name through the mud like ego gotta die like it's gonna happen don't you know it just depends on how you respond that's the test okay how you respond bro you're gonna curse them out you're gonna try to fight them you're gonna share it on facebook and you know what are you going to how are you going to respond to that with love pray for that person bless that person whatever it is and so everyone and everything is an extension of us and and it brings things out of us that are unresolved you know we have to question don't question that person question yourself of why you give a damn about that stuff you know yeah exactly yeah i like to look at triggers as a pathway you know like it's a it's a path that's the path to healing that's the path to self-awareness and if we can pay attention to those triggers and become less reactionary to them we can do a lot more you know because at the end of the day it doesn't matter what people think of us ultimately you know it doesn't it doesn't matter what people have to say unless it feels like it matters and there is the trigger that's happening there um because yeah otherwise it's about them it has nothing to do with me but if i'm triggered by it okay there's some unresolved stuff there i gotta pay attention to i gotta work through why does it trigger me how does this make me feel you know what is this to remind me of and there's a whole unraveling that can happen and once you heal that trigger life becomes a lot easier to see from a higher space or from a space of awareness and balance yeah and i think that once you work through it and resolve it things open up you know you have to respond to it differently and then then like you kind of got i guess handle it with care and kind of prove i guess that you can and then you may have to you may i mean your relationship with that changes you know like when it once you see it again you don't get scared you don't get aggressive you don't try to run the other way you say oh okay i see that i know what that is yeah you know yeah show up for it show up for it yeah you know i had this really huge thing that actually happened to me uh i don't know a week or two weeks ago so my dad left my reality he left my life when i was 12. i haven't talked to him in 15 years you know and i had this whole story going on in my mind about who he was based off of my childhood and i had a lot of pain i had a lot of hatred i had a lot of anger towards him and there was a lot of triggers still there for me that i wasn't paying attention to just another people that i would meet that would remind me of that situation so i had this opportunity was actually it was the day after father's day i had this opportunity um to resolve these some of these things and so rather than letting it trigger me it was like okay i am triggered right now now what am i going to do about it because he had said some things to my mother that were just like you know really hard for me to to not feel triggered by and so i decided to video call him and so that's what i did i video called him i talked to him i saw his face i i heard his voice for the first time in 15 years it was a big deal and in the beginning you know we were both quite triggered there was a lot of anger and stuff that was there but also this recognition that that was happening like okay well we're not getting anywhere with this there's unresolved stuff here like uh let's shift what's happening and so it became more gentle our conversations became more gentle and by the end of it there was this whole shift that had happened for me in that conversation where i saw another side of him that i did not remember from my childhood this gentle side you know and also this this person too who also has his own traumas he's got his own stuff that he hasn't dealt with that he hasn't resolved right and so by the end of it it's like all of the these stories that i had surrounding being angry at him him being this monster him being the boogeyman you know if you will i realized in that conversation like wow this guy is just like you know he's just like he's just like me just like the rest of us he has his own unresolved things and and i i realized wow i still really love this man and i had blocked myself off from that you know it was like wow i still really love this man and so i've watched my life even since that time shift a lot it's in that one conversation that one story that i let go of and kind of rewrote in that moment yeah i'm hearing that a lot i got a good friend of mine who um his dad left when they were younger and him and his mom had abusive relationship or something like that and um and then his mom like when the kids were little always painted him to be the boogeyman if he shows up at your school don't go with him he's going to try to kill you and he's going to try to kidnap you like all these weird things so like their whole childhood they were terrified he was the boogeyman if dad ever shows up you know this kind of stuff and so they had no communication with them no talk with them and now my friend is a adult he's 30 something years old and he talked to us a friend on facebook who said hey i work with your dad man i haven't seen you in years back in another state and uh you want you want his phone number he's like yeah i ain't talking to my dad give me his phone number so he's like he secretly called his dad and uh without his mom or sisters or brothers knowing and then he uh he's got a kid of his own now and so um he went and met with his dad and for he you gotta unders just like you like how scared and how nervous he was to go and face the boogeyman and to go have lunch with his dad and nobody knew about it and he's like it changed his life he was like man my mom was lying to us or just or just not lying but projecting her fear of who he is onto us and no he's not perfect yeah he's messed up and and done stupid stuff but um we can learn and we can move on from this but he um man just to see how that even as he told his mom and they're all adults now you went and seen dad what you know and there's still that trauma yeah he's he's not like mom said he's nothing like that he wasn't trying to kill me he didn't want to kidnap me he didn't want to fight me you know and he's just a hurting man just like all of us trying to figure this stuff out so showing that grace and that compassion i mean that's how you heal your family tree that's how you cleanse your dna that's the ancestral work what like if you have to heal and that's the biggest thing and it's a fear but it's a healthy fear i think that we we're out here trying to save the world win the world cleanse the world and heal the world but yet our own families and our own you know my my daughter my wife my brother my sister like these people fall to the wayside but we did a good job at saving other people's families i think that we have to do the inner work and it starts at home as well if it's not powerful for your family and for your siblings like what is it you know yeah 100 i think ultimately you know that's that's what we're here for is is that that family healing and it happens for everyone in so many different ways you know there's no one story that's gonna work for all but yeah showing up in that work i think that that comes back to even the triggers it doesn't matter if you're talking with family you're not talking with family and we tend to be most triggered when we're with our families you know but when we heal that you know there's there's things that are happening it's not just this generation we're healing line after line there's like seven generations back that you're healing in your own journey and your whole own uh healing experience and when you heal that you're passing along new habits you're passing along new patterns and for seven other generations and ahead of you as well so it's just you know that's the work that is what's so important more important than i think anything yeah generational curses has been something big i've had some people in my community reach out and say hey man i want to know more about generational curses and i thought it's pretty easy to identify it's not real deep and complex but uh it can be healed it can be it can be uh cleansed and um but i remember when i when i first heard about it and i kind of was doing the inner work and being led through some different christian counseling on it and stuff and just identifying some of the stuff i could see it in my life and even now you can sometimes feel it trying to come back like a temptation or a fear or whatever but i really seen it i've seen it in my life but i really seen it in my sister um because my grandmother was a bartender staying out late nights at the bars and and getting into bad relationships fighting the husbands and not boyfriends and divorced and all not being able to hold a man like get a man that they were compatible with my grandmother my mom and then my sister they're all working at bar rooms all having the same types of relationships with with men and they would even like nag adam like anytime my my sister would get a boy that she liked my grandmother would oh he's just gonna do this he's gonna do that my mom would do the same thing he don't love you he just wants you because you're making good money and it's like they were like feeding passing their [Â __Â ] down to my sister it's subconscious you don't even know it it's just this is how we do life gossiping and backbiting and working in the ballrooms my mom grandmother and my sister and i think my sister man she she wised up and uh and took her life into her own hands and uh i'm seeing her thrive right now got in the gym and got a good uh guy in her life that she loves and they they're just in love and it's awesome to see it and um but you can see it like it was like they're spinning images of each other you know what i'm saying of their life their life story being hurt being cheated on being molested being hurt being cheated on being molested being hurt being cheated on being molested hey it stops with me damn it stops with me exactly you're not doing that to my kids i'm i'm i'm i'm where it stops mama bear is angry it's not happening no more and we all have to we have to do that and doing the inner work and the soul work and uh that's how we cleanse our family tree and make it stop it was a curse until it ran into you yeah no exactly you know i think that's what we're all here to do is exactly what you just said is that you know uh because if we continue perpetuating and passing it down it's just i think you know it makes me think about even some of the stuff that's going on right now you know we have the the all the riots and all the stuff that's happening and um something that i really was pulled toward was toward was ancestral healing you know you talk about uh racism you know and that that can be quite a big thing for everyone and everyone everyone's lives in some way or another and for me it was a looking at myself looking at my own life looking at where my family came from realizing okay well each of us has ancestral stuff regardless of where we came from that we've got to look at um and this goes and it doesn't just go for that it goes for a lot of different things you know fixing our vocabularies what are we talking about what are the words that we're using you know uh what kinds of people are have we surrounded ourselves or have we been taught to surround ourselves in our day-to-day lives you know have we traveled the world how we experienced other cultures you know have we expanded our minds enough to to be able to do that and for me i had to realize that there was a lot of fear in my family um around around a lot of different things and so i'm really grateful for traveling traveling really expanded my mind when it came to culture you know and and it really helped me deprogram a lot of things and so um yeah again you know these things they have to happen first for ourselves and when those shifts happen for ourselves they automatically shift out to our families and unless they're shipped out to our families they shift out to our communities and when they shift out to our communities we begin to shift it out into the rest of the world so everything you know regardless of where we're at or what we're paying attention to we've got to just focus on ourselves how can we heal ourselves pay attention to yourself be aware of yourself what are you saying what are you thinking how are you acting how are you showing up in the world you know and if something's out of alignment you know really paying attention to that and bringing it back into alignment that's where where that's where i think that the biggest healing can happen for all of us yeah 100 and we're going through it uh very and we can see it on the news and all that kind of stuff as something exoteric but i guess if you if you're doing the inner work long enough it's going to manifest itself in the physical as well for for the collective you know enough people are becoming conscious and changing our narrative and all that kind of stuff and so it's coming out um i remember it was several years ago now but one of the churches i used to go two years ago um they had a new pastor come in and he's like kind of like cleaning the slate wiping them you know out with the odin with the new kind of thing and um he's going through the paperwork and the church deeds and the title of the d of the church and how they got their land and stuff and there was a damn document that he found he didn't and he was new and he brought it to the front of the church and so there was a deed that was signed that the the land that the church was on was donated to the church as long as they wouldn't let any black people in the congregation that was like a stipulation that i don't know when it was there like in the 40s or 50s or something it's pretty old but they signed this church over and i guess the person was racist didn't like black people and they said okay we'll take your we'll take the land why not and so you wonder why like the churches are segregated and so um there was a couple of black people that started coming to the church and uh and the dude the new pastor like he brought it up say hey this is the deed he told everybody look i found this this is not of god this is we're burning it right and they burnt it in front of everybody and so now like the church is you know i'm saying multicultural but it was like you even spiritually you know what i'm saying that this was the thing i don't even know that it was something that they you know were um adhering to like up can't come in like that kind of stuff but still it's lingering over the spirit of the place you know right 100 yeah again i think it also goes back to that whole generational thing if that's that's the foundation in which it was built and that's what continues to get passed down whether it's a conscious thing that's getting past down or a subconscious thing that's getting passed down it's still getting passed down so i think that it's really cool what you said you know where he literally showed the piece of paper to everyone and did it in front of everyone it was like that at that moment of awareness like okay we're done with this we're done with this you know that's like that's a huge release in itself i mean i think that's what i think that's what so many of us need on so many levels right now is is that moment you know that recognition that moment of awareness to say uh you know i i just didn't know better or i didn't know this existed i haven't consciously been been uh abiding by this contract that's been there for generations but now i'm aware of it and i'm going to burn it i'm done with it we're going to pass down new new things we're going to open up we're going to be multicultural and i just think about the world and if we could just have respect for one another we could have respect for one another's cultures one another's differences the things that we could learn from one another you know i think about my traveling experiences and how much they've added to my life and they've given me so much more appreciation for people they've given me so much more appreciation for different traditions for where where people come from from the way that they live their life the way that they're connected to the earth the way that they're connected to their selves you know we've all all these traditions and cultures they have their own way of doing it and for me it's like all these puzzle pieces these puzzle pieces to life really so we can just take a moment to to move into that appreciation to listen and to learn right now you know again it's that dark night of the soul there's massive healing that's happening for a lot of people different people are really ashamed different people are really angry you know and this is off i see it as this is a part of the healing that that needs to take place right now you know as this awareness happens but i think that's exactly what we're moving towards is is that moment that you just talked about where that paper got burned yeah beautiful times and again as everybody's doing the inner work and it comes out through different ways and it's birthing pain but it's not always nice again like purging like we're purging people are throwing you know throwing up we're as as a collective like we're doing it individually but as a collective people are purging we're getting rid of [Â __Â ] that we didn't need that didn't serve us taking it to the curb you know we don't need to be here we don't need this anymore yeah it's beautiful you know i think that what's happening right now even though it can seem really chaotic or really scary or really you know uncertain even i've heard that word a lot it's actually a really really beautiful thing that's happening i'm i'm seeing some massive shifts happen in my home in my communities all across the world my friends you know this awareness that's taken place and we're finally in a space where i'm seeing people begin to hold each other more accountable you know far less things are just getting swept under the rug like we're starting to really pay attention and say we need to address this you know whether it's sexual abuse that's been a big one that i've been seeing come up or racism or even our own health you know there's all these different things that are really coming to the surf and it's like okay it's time to pay attention to this it's time to take care to take care of ourselves and to take care of each other i'm with it we're part of it we're facilitating it it's all coming to pass angela i appreciate this talk man i really enjoyed hanging out with you

online and we we've just been uh experimenting with it a little bit kind of saying hello and introducing ourselves and really interesting a lot of people using using it as a sleep aid oh interesting that's not i would i say it's not psychoactive but if you take enough it does it puts you in a different place but it's definitely not psilocybin but it's interesting so i wanted to put that i'll have to look into that actually that's the that's the that's the red mushroom with the white dots on it yeah okay yeah we uh we had a our first men's retreat we went we were really deep with it so um yeah
