Ayurveda, Trauma, Psychedelics and Consciousness with Dr. Nibodhi

"Darkness doesn't resist light. If you're in a dark room, all you have to do is turn on a very little candle and now you can see again. If people are seeing darkness in the world, make the light brighter"

In this deeply illuminating episode, I sit down with Dr. Nibodhi—a longtime friend, Ayurvedic practitioner, naturopathic doctor, and devoted student of consciousness. Our conversation is a soul-stirring journey through the intersections of trauma, spiritual awakening, ancient medicine, and modern-day healing tools like psychedelics and breathwork.

We explore the foundational wisdom of Ayurveda, not just as a physical health system, but as a path toward remembering who we truly are. Nibodhi shares his personal story of early childhood trauma, the unconscious patterns it created, and the moment of awakening that allowed him to stop seeking and begin exploring. From mystical plant medicine ceremonies to navigating grief and disconnection, we talk about how healing really happens—through presence, integration, and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve long abandoned.

If you've been curious about the true purpose of your healing journey, or felt pulled to deeper levels of embodiment and self-trust, this episode is going to land deeply. It’s not about feeling better—it’s about becoming better at feeling.
