The term psychedelic, meaning “mind manifesting,” is often framed through the lens of cognitive experience - the brain-mind. But what if “mind” includes not just the brain, but the heart, the gut, the body, and beyond?

The recreational scene has a fixation on the visuals, the novelty, the highs, the fun - and while I'm not necessarily against recreational use, I think this part of the psychedelic culture could use some deeper cont...

This is huge mistake in the new-age community. Denouncing materialism because you think it’s “unspiritual”. The irony is that you say you’re content, yet you secretly long for something more. In this episode I offer a few insights to help you stop hiding behind your spirituality as a shield against ambition.

Most people have been taught a very limited understanding of what "mind" is AND how it works.   We typically think of mind as being locked inside our skulls – just our brain doing its thing.  But this understanding of "mind fields" - particularly if you're an energetically sensitive person, can help change everything...   ---

This is the story of my Personal Pilgrimage and Vision Quest in the Central Australian Desert.

For several days and nights I fasted in a small circle, in solitude, on top of sandy red desert dunes. The desert is harsh and my Quest was gruelling. Fierce winds whipped my tarp into a frenzy, the scorching sun was relentless, and the incessant attack of flies was next level. The days were unbearably long, and the nights ticked over sl...

There's a price to be paid for the rapid acceleration of transformation: the intensification of the death-rebirth process. My earliest Ayahuasca sessions fit the bill precisely, and for the first time ever, I share about those initial experiences on the podcast.

Remembering these profound experiences can be a challenge, and we often experience the fading, so I offer some practical insight into how to enhance our recall and anchor o...
