What if there was a road-map that your soul could follow to feel maximum purpose, and joy? Some would say such guidance is available in the ancient texts and intuitive prompts.

It happens to be the subject of one of my favorite Neil Young songs, "Cortez The Killer." The year was 1521. The leader of the Conquistadors, Cortez, came dancing across the ocean with his galleon from Spain. He was seeking to meet Montezuma, the leader of the glorious Aztec empire. What happened next is a battle still taking place in each of our lives...500 years later. ***** Join me everyday and explore a style of a meditation that plays like a podcast but creates space for peace and relaxation...my brand new 6 month meditation journey, Into the Mystic, begins today: https://bit.ly/into-the-mysic

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic went down in the icy Atlantic. You know the story...1,500 went down with the ship But one story you might not know, is a man who survived in the fridgid water for more than 2 hours, before he was rescued. It's virtually impossibile to survive when the water temperature was -2 Celsius. And yet, it happened and this is the story.

According to one of the great sages in recent history…there's a defining moment between being stuck to the earth…and lifting off into a transcendent life.

After walking my 3 year old daughter through treatment for leukemia, I was struggling with some intense PTSD. I was always worried. But just as suddenly, I was healed. On my birthday last year, I experienced a macro dose of psilocybin (aka magic mushrooms) under the guidance of a therapist. I found it to be the most profound mental reset, and it endured long after the experience. One year later, this past Thursday, I went back for another psychedelic therapy session. This episode is about my experience. It felt like 25 years of wisdom and healing...in a matter of 5 hours. A Mach 10 trip to another dimension...and back in time to have birthday cake with my wife and children.

Sometimes healing is a quiet process...on the yoga mat, in your meditations...how you rest and eat and sleep. But there are moments when healing is a wild and fierce choice to... ...OVERCOME!

It's one of the most intense-sounding, indigenous rites of passage you'll ever ever hear about. The Kogi tribe in the Brazilian rainforest is one of the last tribes on earth to maintain their pre-Columbian customs. The Kogi choose their priests at birth.
