Rak and I met through a mutual friend.  I was literally gobsmacked with who this man is and what he embodies, to the point I opened up at a very deep level with him.  Our discussion together was who heals healers?  For me this has been quite hard to find a person that I can trust to can hold space for myself and this lead to us discussing a podcast on who heals healers.  No matter how enlightened we thing we are we are all human with very human traits.   For those of us who facilitate others to heal, who do we go to where we can be completely vulnerable.  We discussed psychedelics, my recent 5MEO experience where I was left with the sheer brilliance of who we are but then a question, where do we as humans love from.  It was a question that for many of us is that we love from trauma or avoidance or to not be hurt.  Very few of us actually love from love itself.  That is being in the essence of love and like a coin where the 2 sides embrace the light and the dark to create the one experience.  For me Rak's work is brilliant and it is not for the faint hearted.  It is straight to the point, slap you in the face with a fish embodiment of that love.Rak's details are:https://rakrazam.comhttps://www.instagram.com/rakrazam/https://www.facebook.com/rak.razam/Psychedelics:https://rakrazam.com/psychedelics/Aya Awakenings - https://rakrazam.com/about-me/#about-filmsGreg's details are:https://www.gregriley.com.auGreg's Facebook pages:https://www.facebook.com/greg.riley.737/https://www.facebook.com/gregriley5dimensions

Journaling is one of the most powerful ways to integrate our work with psychedelics, and really any changes you are trying to make in your life. I recently found this out on a retreat - during a journaling activity some strong energy from a journey I had over a year ago came up and has been calling me to write more so that I can unpack it and really figure out what to do with it. My guest on this episode is no stranger to this practice - in fact she was moved to create a company that makes journals for inner exploration. Jenny Dion of Wakeful Travel is the creator of 2 amazing integration journals, one focused on specific psychedelic journeys and another on a microdosing protocol. These journals are really cool - incorporating art therapy, preparation and more that Jenny gets into in the interview. We also get into how to work with challenging experiences, the power of intention and consistency in your practice, different integration ideas (in addition to journaling), the magic of 5MEO, set & setting recommendations, and future psychedelic journals that Jenny has in the works.

If there is one archetype I have been exploring heavily this past year in the plant medicine space, it is the archetype of the warrior. What I've come to realize is that this archetype is extremely vital to be able to tap into within this space as, along with the typical ways in which we view this archetype as a society, this archetype allows for increased courage, willpower &, paradoxically, vulnerability within the plant medicine space & ultimately our lives as a whole. Todays guest on the show is someone who is no stranger to the archetype of the warrior & is someone who when I first met, I could tell had mastered the sometimes tricky balance within this archetype. When connecting with plant medicines within this archetype, it is crucial to have this balance as without it, we can quickly find ourselves moving from having a “experience” into an “ordeal.” He is a MMA fighter, holding a professional record of 14 wins & 6 losses, is the host of the Red Hawk podcast & co host of the Timbo Suga show, is a world renowned trainer of MMA superstars such as Sugar Sean O'Malley, is the owner of TW BJJ MMA in Peoria Arizona & if all of this wasn't enough, is someone who is highly passionate about the benefits of conscious, responsible plant medicine consumption, which, as we will be exploring within this episode, has been a big asset in allowing him to find the balance within the archetype of the warrior & beyond. This is an episode I am FIRED up to share with all of you & is one that is sure to open your minds & hearts to what can happen when we enter our plant medicine experiences with courage, willpower & vulnerability.Show Notes:(3:10) Intro & Tim's introduction to plant medicines. (9:59) The fighter-5MeO link & cold plunges.(16:05) Breath Work.(21:05) Methods of balancing the use of plant medicines in your life.(28:00) Microdocing.(33:07) The elimination of the stigma & the many benefits of marijuana & other planet medicines & more.(52:00) Lessons learned from these amazing medicines & joyful experiences.(1:00:15) Outro & one last question.This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Part memoir, part true crime, it's a three-year investigation set in the northern suburbs of St. Louis that uncovers a heartbreaking cycle of poverty, poor education, drug trafficking, and violence. Westhoff's 2019 work Fentanyl, Inc.: How Rogue Chemists Are Creating the Deadliest Wave of the Opioid Epidemic is the bombshell first book about fentanyl, which is causing the worst drug crisis in American history.

This work is backed up with scientific research in the neuroscience and phenomenology of mindfulness, flow, and other exceptional states. As co-author of The Ketamine Papers and other ongoing research, Glenn is participating in the current revival of scientific interest in this legal and promising psychedelic antidepressant. His motivation in advancing the study of ketamine therapy is based on how quickly and effectively it can relieve symptoms of depression—often in just a few hours. He also works with FireflyVR as a content expert developing virtual reality education products to help individuals prepare themselves for ketamine therapy.As Main Editor of the International Journal of Transpersonal Studies, a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on whole person approaches to psychology and wellness, Glenn has brought this publication from fewer than 25 subscribers to almost 100,000 article downloads per year by nearly 50,000 total users. As former professor and founding chair of a PhD program in Integral and Transpersonal Psychology, he attracted more than 100 doctoral students to his doctoral program in just four years. As co-editor of The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Transpersonal Psychology, Glenn has played a key role in the revival of transpersonal psychology, and in identifying and cultivating a second wave of the field based on embodiment, social embeddedness, diversity, and transformation.Glenn is transitioning out of the university setting to spend more time doing scientific research and to give more room to his small boutique coaching practice where he teaches and applies the attentional skills he has developed. The skills that Glenn teaches are based in bottom-up emergence of one's own unique capacities and creativity—one that complements more conventional approaches to management of feelings and behavior. As such, working with Glenn is an entry onto a path that opens toward more integrated ways of bringing one's whole self to every area of life.

Forty Dissolution I spent the next two months assimilating all the new information that flooded into me after my psychospiritual death and rebirth. The knowledge gained in my spiral through Hell left me humbled, with a deep respect for the power of the plants and their ability to catalyze profound transformation. After my night of darkness I steered clear of visionary experiences and went through my tasks at work as if moving by remote control, feeling blessed with the simple miracle of awakening each morning filled with new found clarity and wonder. Events that I had set in motion months before loomed on my horizon, specifically my agreement with Jacques to smoke 5MEODMT together. The way things unfolded, an upcoming Memorial Day weekend provided the best opportunity for us to meet, a short two months after my crash. I felt both terrified and reluctant to embrace a new visionary experience so soon, but Jacques and I had agreed to work together ahead of time and I remained determined to honor our commitment. I met him late Sunday afternoon and we embarked on a mild journey from a Mimosa and Syrian Rue concoction we had brewed as an Ayahuasca analog. After a night's sleep and a morning of reconnecting, we came to our moment of truth and the real reason we had come together. We examined the white powder I had purchased by mail, smelled it, and tried to figure out the best way to calculate a dose, and smoke it. Sprinkling it over cannabis seemed like the most efficient method. Since I had purchased the 5MEO and initiated our meeting, we decided that I would try it first.  I approached my first hit with great respect and a healthy level of trepidation, evident by my sweaty palms and jittery stomach, but I tempered my fear with resolve. I had never smoked DMT, but I had experienced every imaginable LSD experience a hallucinating twentieth century man could conjure, yet none of my scares or bum trips came close to the terror of my fall into Hell, which now loomed heavy in my heart. After breathing deep and centering myself, I took what I thought to be a healthy bong hit of 5MEO sprinkled over a small bed of cannabis, but I felt nothing more than a sense of heaviness. “I don't know,” I said to Jacques. “Maybe getting something like this legally through the mail is too good to be true.” “I heard sometimes it takes a second hit,” he said, gently encouraging me. I loaded up the bong with a little more and took a second hit. I felt more of the heaviness, but nothing more. “This is bullshit,” I said. “I think we got ripped off. I wasn't so sure about getting this stuff through the mail.” “Sometimes, I heard it takes a third hit,” Jacques said, still not ready to give up. I looked at him and weighed things through in my mind, then said, “Third hit, huh? Fuck it!” I dumped a much bigger pile of 5MEO on top of the cannabis, took a solid third hit and instantly fuzzed out and dissolved the same way I had as a kid when I hyperventilated and passed out. “Oh shit!” I thought as the terror came and annihilated me. In those first moments of being swallowed and flooded by an infinite number of things, I felt my concept of the expansion and evolution of consciousness, instantly confirmed, before I dissolved into nothingness. I have no idea of how long I was gone. In my first glimmer of returning awareness, it came as a shock to me that I not only experienced annihilation of everything I knew by becoming both everything and nothing, but I survived it. In the midst of my receding awe and terror I knew I had received a gift of power that I had earned by putting myself on the line by my explorations, which amounted to asking questions. I experienced death again in response to this inquiry when I dissolved, embracing the ultimate thrill.  Over time I came to understand that the speed and power of 5MEO caught my ego...

Imagine if you could completely and totally connect with God. What if you could experience the deepest most profound sense of love, connection and bliss you have ever imagined? Mike's done it and he can tell you what he's about to share could be both uncomfortable and VERY controversial, so fasten your seatbelts and keep reading... Gay Hendricks and Mike Koenigs have a real doozy episode for you this week on The Big Leap podcast... This is Mike's most vulnerable episode and public share to date. Here's what Mike had to say. "Three months ago, I wouldn't consider publicly sharing this - but it's too important not to. A few weeks ago I was invited to join in a very sacred ceremony led by several medical doctors and shamans on ancient Native American grounds in the New Mexico desert. It's an experience called 5-MeO-DMT. This is a psychedelic of the tryptamine class found in a wide variety of plant species, and at least one toad species. What was it like? Terrifying. Awe-inspiring. Beautiful. Pure love. A direct connection to God or creator. Out of body. Complete elimination of a sense of self and ego. Melting away any emotional and physical pain. A rocketship to pre-creation. In the “mind” of God. Before matter, time, space and light. Then... I woke up to a blood curdling, primal scream of emotion. Of love, fear and awe. That scream that woke me up… It was ME. It was as if my “animal” was reuniting with its spirit. All of this happened over a period of 25 minutes. Imagine pouring an entire planet into a thimble. That's what that scream was - the human brain and body simply cannot contain a universe that's billions of years old in it's “container.” Intellectualizing this experience is a disservice to something very ancient and very sacred. As I sobbed and laughed and cried and laughed some more, I never felt so much divine love and connection than in that moments that had just passed. It was the most profound experience of my life. There's a tremendous reawakening and resurgence of psychedelics, entheogens and other plant based materials that is attracting the world's leading scientists, physicists, astrophysicists, doctors, quantum scientists and the medical community. If you do some research, you'll find major colleges and hospitals are investing heavily in using psychedelics to reduce or eliminate mental illness. Tim Ferriss donated $3mm to the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research and Imperial College London. I don't regard 5-MeO-DMT as a drug. It is a profound sacrament and if there was ever something that was divinely created it is this. Despite the world's governments and leaders creating the “War on Drugs” and associating “drugs that kill you” (alcohol, tobacco, heroin, cocaine and much of the pills that are consumed) with “drugs that can save and change your life” (5MEO, psilocybin, MDMA), this is ancient. Amazonian natives have been using entheogens, so did the Greeks, Egyptians, Vedics and other cultures for millennia. When I was 18, I tried smoking marijuana and it sent me into an absolute pit of terror that to this day I still have massive trauma associated with it. I stayed away from all substances. But to my uneducated mind that didn't know the difference between a recreational drug and something that's deeply spiritual, like 5-MeO-DMT… I didn't have the ability to discern and I didn't want to trigger an old trauma.So what was I looking for? Why did I decide to partake in this kind of medicine?There wasn't any ONE reason. I wasn't seeking anything really.I really wanted to explore what I was hearing about the substance and trust me… I did my research. I kept hearing people like Joe Rogan and Tim Ferris talk about it for years. I met Rick Doblin through a friend, the founder of MAPS, which is an association that does profound work on the benefits of psychedelics and how they help soldiers with massive PTSD and women who survived horrible captivity and rape, walk away and not require medication or additional treatment.This year, I felt as though I had reached a point in my life where I was psychologically prepared. I had been feeling much more love, connection and depth in all of my relationships. I had reached a state in my masculinity of understanding what courage, emotion, deep connections, authenticity and being fully present and vulnerable REALLY meant. I felt like this was the next step in my journey of growth as a human being.The setting was a big factor too. It took place on Native American grounds in New Mexico underneath a massive, multi-centuries old cottonwood tree. I was supervised by doctors who are very, very experienced in the substance, so I felt like I was in good hands with proper care before and after.The entire experience lasts (depending on the person and the dose) between 15 and 30 minutes (compared to other plant medicines like Ayahuasca, that can last for hours). It's very, very fast and most people who experienced it in this space said it was like a rocket ship.Now WHY am I sharing this with you? Why is it so important?Because after the experience, I happen to believe that a TOOL like this one could actually bring more people together.More compassion.More empathy.More understanding.More connection.It's a tool.And I'll go on record that the sense of compassion, oneness and connection it provides would create a KNOWING that we are all part of the divine.And if the world's leaders, politicians and change makers could experience this ancient gift…There would be more peace on this planet.There's more to the story!To hear more about the MOST profound and enlightening experience of my entire life, tune in here!Whether you agree with using these sacred, ancient tools or not… you can't argue that it's not a fascinating subject and hopefully you'll learn a little something too!”

Is there a new wave of everyday people switching on to the medical use of psychedelics and if so, how can this wave be culturally integrated? How can modalities like Buddhist Meditation, shamanism, somatic and Jungian Psychology support discussion, guided meditation and psychedelic support services in the community? How can intentions and goals be used in psychedelic journeywork? How can yoga, breath and energetic work be used in preparation, initiation and integration? What recovery practices can be utilized and how can we make sense of our peak experiences and not just return to normal, but raise our baseline? How can we be the better people than psychedelics can give us glimpses of? And can we use the group work of integration circles to establish a true sense of psychedelic community? “First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.” For more information see: https://tamintegration.com And please support this podcast and the emergence of new paradigm media by contributing to: https://www.patreon.com/rakrazam , gracias!

In which they discuss Tara’s recent talk at the 2018 Exploring Psychedelics conference in Ashland: Cleansing the Ego with Entheogens. If psychoactives switch off the Default Mode Network, allowing us to open to the full spectrum of consciousness, what place does this leave the Ego? Is the ego a calcified trauma protection mechanism left behind after the fall and disconnection from Source? Are entheogens wooing us back from Ego to the We-go and the Collective Intelligence of the Unified Field? How can we work with the Ego to find right relationship? And when the peak is over, does the Ego come back stronger–and what can we do about this? Do we need Ego diets? Or more compassion? Tara explores her work with ayahuasca, kambo and other shamanic modalities in shedding light on the function and capacity of the ego and our deeper potential.

The Tao says the dark turns into the light; science says that in darkness for sufficient time tryptophan in the brain will produce pinoline, 5-MeO-DMT and N,N, DMT. What is the process of a dark room ritual like? Could YOU stay ten days in total, unrelenting darkness, taking care of all your bodily functions?

Rak Razam, host of the new online TV show, Shamans of the Global Village www.shamansoftheglobalvillage.com, chats with the show's director Niles Heckman about the resurgence in shamanic traditions across the world and why they made this groundbreaking new series. Indigenous people across the globe have used sacred plant medicines for millennia to heal, illuminate and connect them to the web of life. But each of these psychoactive medicines needs a healer to connect them to their patients: the shaman. This investigative-adventure documentary show examines not just these shamanic medicines, but the shamans that wield them–both indigenous and Western men and women learning to become shamans. We examine what drives them, what their backgrounds are, and why the role of the shaman is vital in the 21st century. If, as Marshall McLuhan said, we are now a “global village”, then we need our own healers that understand the deep power and sacredness these plant medicines can reveal. Tune into a provocative discussion about global shamanism, documentary filmmaking and the role of conscious media in our own awakening. Shamans of the Global Village is a independently produced documentary series focusing on indigenous entheogenic medicines and the Western shamanic resurgence. It is a project that has been a long time in the making, has gone through many challenges, but because of the passions and unique skill sets of its creators, is like nothing you’ve ever seen.

How many times has this happened before with indigenous cultures across the world? What natural rhythms support the blossoming of the psychedelic connection?

Is each wave a stepping stone going deeper into shamanic realms and higher and higher realms of consciousness expressing and knowing itself?

A deeply personal post-ayahuasca sharing session in Peru, April 2015, with Rak Razam and Meriana Dinkova. After recent inoculations with the 5-MeO-DMT sacred medicine of the Bufo Alvarius toad, which induced a full spectrum remembrance of unity consciousness (i.e., GOD), Razam has noticed that the 5MEO circuit is consistently re-activated on other entheogens and indeed, is the ON Switch inside us all. This conversation was held directly after a second ayahuasca retreat session which triggered hours long immersion into the 5MEO light field, and a corresponding decompression of language and integration. It’s all words, dear listener. What is offered here is the act of languagizing itself, a sacred pillow-talk conversation about God as a unified field and the relationship of co-discovery between the Creator and the Created.
