On today's episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Naweïa Wilder, a health + healing practitioner who works with Iboga and other alternative modalities focused on deep emotional healing, truth work, and self-love.They start with Naweïa's background growing up Mormon in California, her unexpected decision to serve an LDS mission in Guatemala, and the spiritual questions that followed. From there, Naweïa shares how her path expanded into energy work, kinesiology, EFT tapping, and ultimately plant medicine, including early experiences with ayahuasca and the moment she felt strongly called toward Iboga. Jimmy and Naweïa break down what makes Iboga different, why it's often described as a “truth hunter,” and how it can help people work through trauma, addiction patterns, emotional loops, and the deeper roots of self-sabotage.Naweïa also talks about the real meaning of self-love, why healing isn't just “feel good” spirituality, and how different parts of the psyche can stay stuck even when the adult version of you looks successful on paper.This is a deep, honest conversation about faith, healing, forgiveness, personal evolution, and what it looks like to find your own path to God without judgment.

In this episode, I want to talk about something most people completely misunderstood about The Matrix.Most people think the message of that movie was simple: unplug. Detach. Escape. Disappear from the system. But that couldn't be further from the truth.The movie was never about running away from the Matrix. It was about waking up. It was about discovering the truth of your reality. Learning the rules, the limits, and the constraints of the system you were born into.My Website: The Unplugged HumanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpluggedhuman.life/Watch this episode on YoutubeGet a copy of The Unplugged JournalPodcast gear, Quotes from Mother, Pine pollen and tallow - Online StoreSignup for newsletter: Send email to: ayahumero@deeperyougo.com with subject line "I Want In"Book: The Self-Sabotage Guide: 9 Behaviors Preventing You from Becoming Stronger, Faster, And Sexier

In this episode, we explore real experiences that went far beyond “spiritual healing”: encounters with predatory spirits, looping insanity, shapeshifting shamans, and the terrifying aftermath that left people questioning their sanity, their safety, and their place in the world. These aren't your typical retreat stories. These are the ones nobody wants to talk about.From clown phobia turned hellscape to Tetris-brain thought loops, Tim Burton creatures crawling from the void, and a chilling cultural warning about who Ayahuasca may truly be meant for—these firsthand accounts paint a picture of a medicine that can heal… or completely unravel you. If you're fascinated by psychedelic horror, spiritual misfires, and mind-bending supernatural encounters, this episode pulls back the curtain on the shadow realm of Ayahuasca.We'll see you on the inside..TIME STAMPS:0:00 - Bad Trips: The Dark Side of Ayahuasca…1:00 - Intro Music1:58 - Welcome In, Fellow Weirdos2:34 - Christian's Hawaiian Baseball Coach Story For The 400th Time6:41 - Join The Memberships Page So We can Afford a New Computer7:16 - BAD TRIP: It's a No From Me, Boss.11:30 - Christian Mocks Our Stories Author13:30 - Stay on the Resort if You Look Like Scott14:00 - Christian Mansplains Criminal Behavior..17:51 - BAD TRIP: Thought I Wasn't Coming Back..21:21 - Christian Acts Triggered By The "R" Word24:15 - Bring Out The Ol' Soapbox, C.27:00 - The Number of Creepy Clown Trips is Wild30:03 - Scott's Melatonin Dreams Unlock at 250,000 Subs31:40 - Butterscotch Gang Intermission32:58 - Otamatone Rave Song Fail33:43 - BAD TRIP: Darkness Eternal: A Timeline43:17 - BAD TRIP: A Warning For Whitey45:04 - Christian Admits to LOVING Racism?

Ayahuasca is being sold as healing. That's not what she lived.This episode is a real warning from someone who went in.On Wake Up with Miya, I sit down with Christa Black-Gifford, a singer, songwriter, and host of the Head to Heart podcast, to share her journey from growing up as a preacher's kid and touring in the Christian music world to getting pulled into plant medicine and spiritual deception—and how she found her way back to Jesus.We talk about ayahuasca and wachuma, what she encountered in ceremonies, how deception often starts small, and how to build real spiritual discernment when something feels powerful but isn't from God.If you've ever been curious about psychedelics, New Age spirituality, or “plant medicine” healing, this conversation gives you clarity and warning signs you can actually use.Subscribe to Wake Up with Miya for more truth-seeking conversations.For the full extended episode, join me on Patreon for the Plus Side.BUY ME A COFFEE LINKSupport the Show & Stay Connected:Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/sensiblehippiehttps://www.youtube.com/@WakeUpWithMiyaJoin My Patreon for ad-free episodes & exclusive content: https://Patreon.com/WakeupwithMiyaIf you're joining Waiola – The Plus Side, please subscribe through a web browser (Safari or Chrome) instead of the app — it directly supports the show.Mahalo nui loa for supporting independent work and helping keep this platform growing.Shop my Amazon Storefront:https://www.amazon.com/shop/profile/amzn1.account.AGYOPCXXGH6MN5RVAKGQWVZUZLEA/list/26B87RB4FZ9W2?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_6BWRT43TH4MY2NM2XD6XWant to be on the show or have a guest suggestion?Email me at: Miya@wakeupwithmiya.comFollow Me Online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/WakeupwithMiyaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WakeupwithMiyaExclusive Discount!Shop at LVNTA: https://lvnta.com/lv_IcTq5EmoFKaZfJhTiSUse code OHANA for 20% off!Listen on Your Favorite Platform:Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and everywhere podcasts are available!RATE & REVIEW:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wake-up-with-miya/id1627169850Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0UYrXCgma1lJYzf8glnAxyMusic Credits:Beginning: "Echoes in the Shadows" - DK Intro: “At First Light” – LunarehOutro: “Uptown” – PALAEnd Music: “Crazy” - Eko

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Ricki Friedman joins Jason Ingber on the Jason Ingber Podcast, alongside Doreen Benjamin, to share her raw journey through grief, addiction, healing, and self-discovery. Ricki opens up about losing her mother to cancer at just 13 years old and how being prescribed Adderall at a young age shaped her emotional world. She reflects on decades of disconnection, heavy weed use, stimulant dependency, and how addiction became a way to escape unprocessed pain. She shares what it was really like to quit weed cold turkey after 15 years, why getting off Adderall and Vyvanse after nearly 30 years was the hardest challenge of her life, and how losing her relationship, job, and sense of stability ultimately became the turning point that set her free. Ricki also dives into her transformative Ayahuasca experience in Costa Rica, explaining how the medicine forced her to confront herself, heal long-held trauma, and step fully into her purpose. That journey reignited her passion for coaching and led her back to helping thousands of people break free from addiction, emotional patterns, and self-sabotage. This episode is for anyone navigating: • Adderall or stimulant dependence • Weed addiction • Grief and unresolved childhood trauma • Breakups and identity loss • Personal growth and healing If you're searching for hope, clarity, or proof that real change is possible, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

In this deeply reflective and expansive conversation, Darin sits down with poet, speaker, and consciousness explorer Adam Roa for a raw dialogue on creativity, stillness, identity, and the courage it takes to live from integrity instead of performance. From viral art and the pressure of platforms to darkness retreats, emotional sovereignty, and redefining success, this episode explores what it really means to listen inwardly in a world addicted to noise. This is not a conversation about answers. It's a conversation about asking better questions and trusting the quiet moments where truth lives.     What You'll Learn in This Episode How art and creativity act as accelerators for human consciousness Why stepping back from visibility can be an act of integrity, not avoidance The emotional cost of constant output and public expectation What happens when identity dissolves and certainty disappears Why stillness, darkness, and solitude reveal what discipline cannot How to rebuild meaning when old belief systems fall apart The difference between inspired expression and performative sharing Why emotions are not obstacles — but the point of being human     Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty and conscious living 01:00 – Sponsor break:

This episode takes you deep into the science of Kundalini, the biology of spiritual experiences, and the intersection of mental health and meditation.In this conversation with Dr. K, we talk about the neuroscience behind Chakras, the risks and benefits of Kundalini practices, and how substances like DMT and Psilocybin affect the brain compared to natural meditation. We also explore the concept of the Default Mode Network, the role of Serotonin and Dopamine in happiness, and practical ways to manage ego, narcissism, and confidence. This episode also covers the physiology of specific Chakras (from Muladhara to Ajna), the science of Anandamide (the bliss molecule), the existence of Asuras and Deities, and actionable techniques like Trataka (candle gazing).

Sometimes the best leadership wisdom fits on a Post-it note. In this Success Leaves Clues episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke asks his guests for the one piece of advice they keep returning to. The answers range from the disarmingly simple to the deeply strategic. “Wake up each day and don’t be a wanker.” Keep the team at the centre but honour the individual. Keep dreaming and prepare for your chance. Catch people doing things right. Coach the way you’d want someone to coach your own kids. Lean into authenticity, even when it costs you. Say yes to leadership, even if you doubt yourself. And get to know yourself properly, especially the things you’d rather avoid. These are small sentences that shape entire cultures.

I'm writing these “show notes” to you on Saturday, January 23rd as I prepare for what appears to be a terrible storm in North Carolina. A week ago I returned home from a much different place, Costa Rica. I was back at Rythmia, sitting with the medicine that is Ayahuasca. I left a week of healing, and came back to a new storm, one in the form of snow, rain, and ice, as well as another ICE storm in Minneapolis.  I turned on my microphone and talked for about 22 minutes. It's just started to sleet as I type this to you, so I'm keeping this email short as I'll likely lose power here for a couple of days. Coincidentally, I talk about power in this episode.  Thank you for your time, and if you're in the eye of this upcoming storm, I'm sending you love.  Resources from this episode:Discount link to RythmiaFlorence + The Machine's Choreomania on Spotify Book recommendations:I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?

The Truth About Your Soul's Purpose & Our Wild Ayahuasca Adventure (Yes… FOUR Times

Inner Journey with Greg Friedman welcomes Paul Fenton Smith.  Paul is a renowned Australian tarot teacher, clairvoyant, counsellor, and author who has been immersed in the psychic sciences since the late 1970s. Beginning his journey with palmistry in 1978 and soon after embracing tarot, he has spent decades helping people use these tools for clarity, insight, and practical guidance in everyday life. In 1985 he founded the Academy of Psychic Sciences in Sydney, where he has trained thousands of students in tarot, intuition, and ethical psychic practice.​ He is the author of numerous books, including his comprehensive recent work Advanced Tarot: An In-Depth Guide to Practical & Intuitive Tarot Reading Paul brings tarot down to earth, showing how it can serve as a practical, empowering tool for decision-making, self-understanding, and intuitive development in daily life.​

This short explains Ayahuasca.

This is not a normal episode of Nonprofit Lowdown.In this one, I'm sharing something deeply personal: my experience with ayahuasca and why it mattered so much to me as a nonprofit leader.From the outside, my life looked great. The business was working. The mission was working. I was working. But joy wasn't part of the equation.I talk about burnout that doesn't look like collapse—but like numbness. About over-functioning becoming a leadership identity. About how so many of us in the nonprofit sector are competent, ethical, respected… and quietly exhausted.I share why I chose a medically licensed ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, and how the experience helped me move from self-surveillance to self-trust.This episode isn't about telling you to do ayahuasca. It's about asking a bigger question:What happens when being “good” replaces being whole?If you're a nonprofit leader who feels like the hallway monitor—holding it all together while losing touch with yourself—this one's for you.Healing isn't a detour from leadership. It's part of it.Important LinksRetreat: https://www.rythmia.com/open/worldsfirst?utm_source=post_affiliate_pro&utm_pap_affiliate_id=68cc7cb81ebf5&a_aid=68cc7cb81ebf5 How to Train ChatGPT:  ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/annual-fundraising-plan-tracker1-3127-4300⁠ My Big Ask Gifts Program: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠ My Book, Get That Money Honey: ⁠https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠ My Newsletter: ⁠https://www.rheawong.com/⁠

Ep. 232 I'm setting the tone for this episode the same way I begin my own practice — slowing down, lighting Palo Santo, pulling oracle cards, and coming back to myself. In this conversation, I'm sharing what intention-setting really looks like when life interrupts your routines and pulls you back toward comfort. After my Ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, my spiritual practices deepened — but I'll be honest, staying consistent hasn't always been easy. And that's exactly why this episode matters. The oracle cards I pulled spoke directly to trust, patience, and resilience. One reminded me (and maybe you) that you're already on the right path — even if it doesn't feel like it yet. Another, The Ever Unfolding Rose, whispered this truth: growth can be beautiful and uncomfortable at the same time.

Inner Journey with Greg Friedman welcomes Paul Selig fback to the program. Paul's latest chanelled book is called, "Divine Union, the essential path to oneness" Paul share the perspective that we are I am in union with the Source of all things. This may be the Guides' most important teaching to date, and Paul Selig channels this crucial message in his newest book, Divine Union. A standalone book to highlight the importance of the concept, Divine Union teaches readers to move beyond their inherited and clung-to ideas of separation in favor of unity, cohesion, and peace.Though it may seem inevitable that humans will build walls between one another and fear those who appear different from ourselves, the Guides promise a future in which true connection and union is achieved. Once we realize that all humans are beings through which the Divine flows, fear-based separation will crumble, clearing the way for a better world.The Guides' message is nothing short of revolutionary: humanity is at a time of reckoning, and we must face ourselves and our creations in order to recognize the shared divinity within us all.

On this episode we chat with Lani Gonzales. For many years Lani was a lawyer and partner at a firm living a live that looked perfect on paper, but left her aching for something more. She was called to serve, and answering the call meant walking away from the courtroom and stepping into the unknown. On this episode, Lani shares how Ayahuasca helped her reveal deep childhood trauma, balancing logic and intuition, hypnotherapy, subconscious mind reprogramming, integrating our light and dark, and so much more!

In this podcast episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with Sylvia Benito, a woman who masterfully bridges the gap between the high-stakes world of global finance and the ancient depths of shamanic wisdom. As a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) who has managed massive wealth in family offices, Sylvia Benito is far from your typical spiritual guide. She has spent over two decades training with indigenous healers and has participated in over 200 Ayahuasca ceremonies, leading her to a radical realization: our most overwhelming moments—bankruptcy, divorce, or illness—are not obstacles to our growth, but the very medicine we need. In this captivating conversation, Sylvia previews her upcoming book, Soul Naked, and introduces her "Circadian Method" for transforming darkness into evolution. If you have ever felt trapped by the Western epidemic of "worthlessness" or the relentless pursuit of "more," Sylvia Benito provides a provocative, grounded operating system to help you strip away the ego and connect to the motherboard of consciousness.

On this episode of The Aluna Experience Podcast, I talk to Chad who shares the call to Ayahuasca being one not that you hear with an ear but one that you know and feel in the heart. Chad shares his experience growing up religious and how an inner curiosity invited him to explore other paths of understanding where he found yoga to be a doorway into a deeper connection to self. We discuss how fear of doing something— like stepping into a yoga class for the first time or sitting in ceremony, can often be more intimidating than the lived experience and how to recognize our individual power to manifest all aspects of our lives. He shares his intention to connect to his masculine in order to initiate his creative endeavors and how Ayahuasca supported him to recognize his ability to take aligned action and come into balance with his definition of his feminine and his masculine. alunahealingcenter.com@aluna_healing_centerbrianahata.com@bri.anahata

Every year I like to wrap it up in Gratitude. What gratitude isGratitude involves recognizing that something positive has happened and connecting it to a source outside oneself (another person, a community, nature, or something larger).It is not just saying “thank you,” but actually registering that “this matters to me” and letting that significance sink in.Gratitude can be brief (a surge of appreciation) or more stable, as a trait-like tendency to notice and savor the good.Why it boosts happiness Gratitude is such a strong contributor to human happiness because it shifts how the mind processes reality in several powerful ways:Attention shift: The brain naturally scans for problems and threats; gratitude deliberately redirects attention toward what is working, what is kind, and what is supportive, which increases feelings of safety and contentment.Positive emotion spiral: Moments of gratitude generate emotions like warmth, joy, and peace, and those states tend to broaden thinking, increase creativity, and make it easier to notice even more good, creating an upward emotional spiral.Relationship nourishment: Expressing gratitude deepens bonds, increases trust, and makes others feel seen and valued, which strengthens the relationships that are a core foundation of human happiness.Sense of meaning: Gratitude highlights connection—how much of life depends on the care, effort, and gifts of others—which gives a stronger sense of belonging and purpose.Resilience: When life is difficult, the ability to still find and acknowledge small good things helps people cope, recover, and maintain hope, even without denying pain or struggle.

In this episode of The Observatory Podcast, hosts Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Bobby Ahlander for an expansive and deeply human conversation about suffering, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. Bobby shares his journey growing up in a rigid religious environment marked by instability and fear, living much of his adult life on “autopilot,” and eventually reaching a breaking point that included leaving the Church, divorce, job loss, and a prolonged season of depression with suicidal ideation.Through therapy, psychiatry, EMDR, Buddhist study, and eventually plant medicine, Bobby describes the slow and nonlinear rebuilding of his inner world. He introduces a personal “numbers” framework that helped him track emotional states — from survival, to “fine,” to happiness, joy, bliss, and ultimately a state he later names cosmic union. At the heart of this conversation is the embodied realization that arrived not through force or fixing, but through surrender: peace feels good.Timestamps [01:10] Introducing Bobby Ahlander and the theme “peace feels good”[04:05] Childhood in a conservative religious home marked by instability[08:45] Learning invisibility, safety, and survival as a child[14:55] Living adulthood on “autopilot” and inherited identity scripts[20:15] Becoming a bishop and the weight of enforcing institutional rules[25:35] LGBTQ+ policy conflict and values colliding with authority[31:50] Leaving the Church, divorce, and relocation all at once[36:40] Wiping the slate clean and questioning every belief[41:05] First acts of autonomy and reclaiming personal choice[46:00] Discovering Buddhism and non-dual thinking[51:40] First psilocybin experience and expanded awareness[58:45] COVID, job loss, unhealthy relationship, and emotional collapse[01:05:40] Suicidal ideation and surviving for his children[01:12:30] Therapy, medication, and the “numbers” emotional scale[01:20:10] Ayahuasca: opening a door that never closes[01:27:30] Integration, healing, and learning to live at “fine”[01:33:40] Oregon coast turning point and happiness returning[01:38:10] Discovering joy, bliss, and something beyond the scale[01:41:00] Embodied peace, “peace feels good,” and what comes next[01:41:58] Closing message and listener invitationNotable Quotes“You have just opened a door that can never close again.” — Scott Webb (quoted by Bobby Ahlander) [00:36:08]“I don't want to die, but I don't want to be alive.” — Bobby Ahlander [00:31:58]“The whole choice to awake puts you on a path.” — Scott Wright [01:13:33]“So we honor you for being there and being able to express that.” — LaRae Wright [01:29:42]“The cost of the new is the old.” — Scott Wright [01:32:36]“Turbulence is just a reminder you're flying.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:34:42]“You will continue to suffer until you've learned the lesson that the suffering is trying to teach you.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:38:18]“This is peace.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:23:57]“Peace feels good.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:25:01]Relevant LinksBobby's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobbyahlander/Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcasts

Content Warning This podcast contains detailed discussions of sensitive topics, including combat experiences, childhood trauma, and substance abuse. It also includes a first-hand account of a mental health crisis involving a firearm and thoughts of suicide. In this episode of the DAV Podcast, host Matt Saintsing sits down with Justin, a combat veteran who served as an infantry Marine in Fallujah and Ramadi. Justin shares a raw and candid account of his journey from enlisting to seek his father's approval to his decade-long struggle as a firefighter masking deep-seated anxiety, depression, and alcohol abuse. While initially believing his suffering stemmed from war-related PTSD, a spontaneous encounter with the psychedelic medicine Ayahuasca led to a profound spiritual awakening. Through this experience and his subsequent work with Save A Warrior, Justin realized the roots of his trauma actually lay in his childhood, leading him to a new path in spiritual chaplaincy and a mission to help others heal through the power of psychedelic integration.

From environmental toxins and metabolic health to resilience, trauma, consciousness, and human potential, this episode is a reminder that living a SuperLife isn't about perfection — it's about awareness, sovereignty, and choosing differently.

Jesse Todisco was a successful salesman by day and a heroin addict by night. Then came the 30-hour bus ride that changed everything.   In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, I sit down with Jesse Todisco—author of From Heroin to Healer—to discuss the dark reality of high-functioning addiction and the "impossible" journey of recovery. Jesse opens up about breaking the cycle of generational trauma, the truth about quitting cold turkey, and the profound Ayahuasca experience where he reconnected with his deceased daughter. If you feel stuck, numb, or like you are repeating your father’s mistakes, this conversation is the wake-up call you need. We go beyond the surface to discuss why "success" often masks deep pain and how to finally find peace. In this episode, you will learn: The Hidden Cost: How high-performers hide addiction and why rock bottom is necessary. The Impossible Twist: Jesse’s firsthand account of seeing his dead daughter during a plant medicine ceremony. Breaking Trauma: How to stop being "just like your dad" and become the father your children need. Tactical Tools: How to use Breathwork and "Gratitude Stacking" to hack depression immediately.   CHAPTERS  0:00 - Intro: The High-Functioning Addict 09:18 - Growing Up With a Heroin Addict Father 11:11 - The 30-Hour Bus Ride That Saved My Life 13:51 - The Truth About Quitting Cold Turkey 22:49 - What Is a Spiritual Awakening?

One of the greatest surprises of this journey wasn't the visions, the purging, or even the revelations; it was the people. In just four days, strangers became family. Not metaphorically. Literally. People from different countries, histories, and wounds trusted one another with their tears, their truths, their breakdowns, and their rebirths. This episode explores one of the most important distinctions of the entire experience: the environment is not secondary to the medicine—the people are the medicine. Arkana is not just a retreat center; it is a living ecosystem designed to make it safe enough to stop performing and start being real. When judgment evaporates, and egos are checked at the door, something ancient reawakens. Trust becomes the air you breathe. Authenticity becomes effortless. Healing accelerates. By the third and final night of Ayahuasca, the work had shifted. There was no war. No descent. No funerals. Grandmother wasn't teaching anymore; she was integrating. Confirming. Blessing. What once felt overwhelming now appeared as memory, perspective, and clarity. The darkness was never removed; it was revealed as temporary. And for the first time, it became clear that both the darkness and the light were never happening to me. They were moving through me. Day Five introduced San Pedro, Huachuma, the Medicine of the Heart. Where Ayahuasca turns you inward to meet your shadows, San Pedro moves you outward into connection, unity, empathy, and love. Under the guidance of Alcides, a man who doesn't just tell stories but transmits truth, the group experienced something rare and unmistakable: collective heart coherence. Not symbolic. Not poetic. Physically real. Fourteen nervous systems beating as one. This episode captures the final transmission of the Sacred Valley: connection isn't something you create, it's what remains when you remove the barriers. The heart has always been unified. It's the ego that divides it. San Pedro didn't give us anything new; it revealed what had always been there beneath the masks, defenses, and personas. As the fire burned low beneath the Andean sky, one final truth became clear: plant medicine isn't the point, it's the doorway. Nothing fixes you. Nothing completes you. These medicines remove what was never yours to carry and reveal who you've been all along. This is the ceremony after the ceremony.And this is where the journey home truly begins. Make Sense?

Fenix is Gina's ceremonial guide with plant medicine, an artist, energy healer, and dear friend.  They discuss Fenix's personal healing journey including her battle with breast cancer, the search for her birth family, and her deep work with plant medicine, particularly Ayahuasca.  Fenix shares her experiences of moving from victimhood to a state of awe and curiosity, emphasizing the importance of feeling, intuition, and being present. They explore the themes of perfectionism, self-love, compassion, and forgiveness.  Rebirth through lived experience, not theory or surface-level healing. Remembering one's true nature after profound loss, rupture, or abandonment. Healing is non-linear and often initiated through crisis rather than choice. Listening to the body as an intelligence, not something to override or fix. Grief is a teacher and initiator, not something to "get over." Spiritual bypassing and performative wellness culture. Healing requires slowing down, presence, and deep honesty. Healing happens in relationship — with self, with others, our ancestors, and with the Earth. The importance of creating safe containers for transformation. Healing emerges from integration, not perfection. The feminine as embodied wisdom, not gender. Trauma is acknowledged as stored in the nervous system, not just memory. True restoration involves grief, anger, love, and joy — all welcomed. This conversation is less about becoming "better" and more about coming   home to yourself.

Ari Kuschnir, AI storyteller and artist,  takes us deep into the alchemy of AI storytelling as a form of social practice and activist imagination.Known for provocative AI videos imagining figures like Trump, Elon Musk, and world leaders undergoing spiritual transformations, Kushnir talks about using AI as a creative collaborator and as a tool to challenge the cultural addiction to dystopia.Along the way, they explore whether AI is flattening culture or opening new portals, why the future keeps being depicted as bleak, and what it might take to reclaim imagination as a collective human practice.Mastering the Alchemy of Storytelling Course: https://www.liminal.news/mastering-the-alchemy-of-ai-storytelling | Use code: ALCHEMY-TEAMHUMAN for a discountLearn more at: mssngpeces.comTeam Human is proudly sponsored by Everyone's Earth.Learn more about Everyone's Earth: https://everyonesearth.com/Change Diapers: https://changediapers.com/Cobi Dryer Sheets: https://cobidryersheets.com/Use the code “rush10” to receive 10% off of Cobi Dryer sheets: https://cobidryersheets.com/Support Team Human on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/teamhumanFollow Team Human with Douglas Rushkoff:Instagram: https:/www.instagram.com/douglasrushkoffYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJdUEh2Wh4fnswTLmqoEnhgTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@douglasrushkoffBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/rushkoff.com Hosted on Acast.

The Ruins, the Return, and the Realignment After two intense nights with Ayahuasca, Day Five brought a different kind of teacher: the Sacred Valley itself. In the ancient terraces of Pisac and the colossal stones of Ollantaytambo, I found a quiet wisdom that didn't speak in visions—but in presence, humility, and perspective. As I walked among mountain-carved ruins, burial sites, and engineering miracles we still can't explain, I began to understand my own “deaths” from the ceremonies as returns—returns to trust, patience, and truth. This unexpected excursion stirred a mix of sadness and gratitude as Thanksgiving approached and I felt the ache of being away from my family… while standing in the embrace of a new one. In this episode, I explore how ancient civilizations, unexpected emotions, and the right people at the right time can become medicine just as powerful as the plant itself—and how trust, not fear, becomes the compass for Night Three.

Ayahuasca showed this combat veteran truths about trauma, love, and ego he never knew existed.In this episode, Combat Veteran Nahum Vizakis shares the raw, shocking and transformative story of how plant medicine and deep inner work led him through PTSD, ego death, shadow healing, and a complete spiritual awakening. After years as a military EOD technician facing life-and-death situations, Nahum returned home carrying invisible wounds that traditional approaches couldn't touch. ⭐ CONNECT WITH NAHUM VIZAKISWebsite: spiritualbodybuilder.comCoaching & Services: optimizinghum.comInstagram: @spiritual_bodybuilderYouTube: Spiritual Bodybuilder

After the massive breakthrough of Night One—two funerals, the collapsing skyscraper, the dissolving of old fears—I walked into Night Two believing the work was done. I felt complete, emptied, reborn. I even considered not drinking at all. But Ayahuasca loves to laugh at certainty, and the shamans gently suggested a tiny “check-in” dose. Just a sip. Just enough to see if anything remained. Fifteen minutes later, the medicine hit me with the force of a spiritual hurricane. What followed was not enlightenment. Not beauty. Not cosmic revelation. It was overstimulation on a scale I had never experienced—violent fractals, exploding geometry, unraveling mandalas, and the infamous Transformer-Mickey-Mouse-Jiffy-Pop-Clown-Show that appears when the mind begins to collapse under its own fear. My nervous system short-circuited. My breath vanished. My intention dissolved. Everything became too loud, too fast, too much. And the only thing attacking me was my own resistance. Guided to the “bad boys' corner” of the maloca, I spent hours trapped in a visual and emotional hurricane, praying for release and finding none. No purge. No relief. No escape. Just chaos. Shame. Fear. A distorted carnival spinning out of control. Until one quiet moment changed everything. When I finally remembered the real question—the IRS question, the Dragon's question:Hmmm? What is actually happening here? What is this showing me? The answer landed like a whisper:Time. Your forgotten ally. Your secret weapon. The truth that dissolves all suffering.This too shall pass. The visuals didn't stop. The nightmare didn't soften. But my relationship to it changed. And the instant fear lost its authority, Grandmother stepped back in respect. She hadn't been punishing me. She had been teaching me the one lesson I didn't know I still needed: Nothing permanent can harm you. Only fear convinces you otherwise.Everything—anxiety, worry, panic, uncertainty—is just passing weather. In this episode, I take you inside the hardest night of my life, a night where the medicine became the mirror, the storm became the teacher, and time revealed itself as the true healer. Through Alan Watts, the IRS, and a collapse that turned into clarity, this chapter is a reminder for anyone drowning in fear: It's rarely the situation that hurts us. It's the meaning we've assigned to it. And when we zoom out—beyond our stories, beyond our worries, beyond this tiny spinning rock in a universe of trillions—everything softens. Everything shifts. Everything passes. Night Two wasn't a failure.It was the teaching beneath the teaching.The darkness behind the breakthrough.The reminder I didn't want… but desperately needed. This too shall pass.And the next morning, Day Three began—with sunlight, stone ruins, grounded earth, and a much-needed return to the outside world.

This episode shows you how light, vibration, and frequency-based technology can shift your brain state in minutes, unlock deep neuroplasticity, release stored trauma, and create coherence that normally takes years of meditation or psychedelic training. You will learn how these tools support performance, resilience, mitochondria, emotional regulation, and advanced biohacking. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with master healer Raffaele Gianfrancesco, whose work draws on energy medicine, Egyptian color healing, vibroacoustics, and light based entrainment. Raffaele trained in the Barbara Brennan lineage and spent years developing methods that shut down the default mode network, activate the thalamocortical circuit, and move people into deep meditative and altered states within minutes. His technology has attracted the attention of consciousness researchers, advanced meditation schools, ketamine clinics, and U. S. Air Force programs studying human resilience and pilot performance. Dave and Raffaele break down how vibroacoustic sound, harmonics, cymatics, and flickering light therapy guide the brain into gamma, delta, epsilon, and high resonance states that support clarity, emotional release, and rapid state change. Raffaele explains how vibration affects fascia and trauma storage, how light influences the cerebrospinal fluid and pineal gland, and why coherence is the key to shifting consciousness. They discuss ketamine assisted therapy, remote viewing, the Monroe Institute, the relationship between frequencies and brain states, the history of flickering light therapy, and how certain frequencies help loosen trauma patterns stored in the body. You'll Learn: • How vibroacoustic sound and coherent light shut down the default mode network • Why fascia, trauma memory, and cerebrospinal fluid respond to vibration • How flicker based entrainment maps to gamma, delta, and theta brain states • Why the Air Force studies these tools for resilience and reaction speed • How ketamine combines with vibration and light to improve neuroplasticity • Why coherence, awe, and safety cues are essential for deep emotional release • What cymatics, harmonics, and frequency patterns reveal about consciousness Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.
