Hey everybody! In this episode, I spoke with Michael Amster. Michael is a really interesting guy. He is a medical doctor who has bridged many different spiritual paths together. Through mindfulness he developed a practice to, as he puts it, microdose awe. He co-wrote a book called The Power of Awe which is about just that, the power of awe to positively influence our lives. As someone who works with plant medicines, I also think that this experience of awe is one of, if not the most important, aspects of this work with plants and also at the core of what it means to be a human being. It was a pleasure to have Michael on to share his research and I trust you all will gain much from this interview.

— We are not here on Earth to be alone, but to be part of a living community, a web of life in which all is sacred. Ceremonies and rituals are powerful tools that promote and sustain healthy changes as we move though life's passages. They help you release old patterns, call in healing energies, bring empowerment to new intentions, honor rites of passage, and connect you with a deeper sense of support and guidance from Spirit in your life. Sandra work with you to create ceremonies that best support your intentions, and to honor your life transitions in a meaningful and sacred way. As a non-denominational ordained Minister of the Foundation of the Sacred Stream and Shamanic Practitioner, Sandra works with clients from diverse cultural traditions, spiritual beliefs and practices. Valeria interviews Sandra Lloyd — She is Urban Shaman, Shamanic Hypnotherapist, Spiritual Midwife, Modern Alchemist, Ceremonialist, Badass Cosmic Mother, Shamanic Healer and Speaker. As a Certified Hypnotherapist through the Foundation of the Sacred Stream in Berkeley, CA, Sandra has received expert training in Depth Hypnosis, Shamanism, Buddhist Psychology, Energy Medicine and Hypnotherapy. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Sociology. Sandra's path of healing service has been informed by two separate diagnoses and recoveries from cancer, as well her work since 2004 providing hands-on, unconditional support and advocacy for pregnant and birthing women navigating the complexities of the initiation of birth and passage into motherhood. Energetically "holding space" in the birth environment, and grounded in her connection with spiritual allies, she has been privileged to assist the safe and empowering passages of hundreds of new lives into this world.  In the summer of 2014, Sandra journeyed to Peru to join an expedition with Alberto Villoldo and Marcela Lobos of the Four Winds Society. Taking part in daily teachings and ceremonies, led by renowned medicine men and women, deepened her understanding of the ancient teachings of shamanism and of the Q'ero. She received the Munay-Ki rites of initiation directly from these master shamans and lineage keepers in ancient places of power in Peru's Sacred Valley. Since 2016, Sandra has continued her training in shamanic practices designed for spiritual evolution and healing with don Oscar Miro-Quesada, respected kamasqa curandero and altomisayoq adept from Peru, founder of the Heart of the Healer Mystery School and originator of the Pachekuti Mesa Tradition of cross-cultural shamanism. As a Shamanic Practitioner, Depth Hypnosis therapist, Ceremonialist and Birthkeeper, Sandra Lloyd/Urban Shaman brings ancient healing practices to guide her clients in addressing challenges that arise in relation to fertility, reproductive choice, pregnancy, miscarriage, labor, birth and the powerful initiation of Motherhood. She offers contemporary applications of shamanic practices (altered states/shamanic journey, regression, soul retrieval, power retrieval, removal of energetic interference) for releasing old patterns, uncovering and healing core woundings/trauma, and (re)connecting to one's authentic self.

Today we have Christopher. He is 27 years old from Melbourne, Australia and he took his last drink on July 13th, 2019.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month   On October 4th-15th, we are going to Peru!  There are still three spots available for this 11-day 12-night journey throughout Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Included in this journey are hiking the Inca Trail and a service project with Peruvian Hearts.   [02:38] Thoughts from Paul:   Today Paul presents the third of a three-part series where he covers the healing one may expect in the first year away from alcohol. This week he covers the spiritual (not necessarily religious) component of healing and what can generally be expected over the course of the first year away from alcohol.   Spiritual growth isn't necessarily linear and likely won't start in the first week. There may have been a moment before your last drink when time seemed to stop, and you were pulled into the present moment where you could see where things were headed if you didn't quit drinking.   For some this growth may involve religious exploration and for others it may just be feeling the pull to be in nature or seeing life synchronicities and being able to decipher signals of intuition in your body. Creativity may return and books like Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way can help unblock creative channels.   Paul shares many different ways spiritual healing can show up for people on the journey to being alcohol-free.   [09:28] Paul introduces Christopher:   Chris is 27 and lives in Melbourne, Australia. He is about to start being a psychologist in a few weeks where he looks forward to being of service, but currently is working in the restaurant area of a pub. For fun he enjoys the outdoors, running, hiking and is a fan of philosophy.   Chris' drinking began like many others when he was in his teens. He says he instantly felt free, and his problems slipped away. He drank when the opportunities arose, and it was mainly binge drinking on the weekends.   Chris said he cared a lot of what others thought of him or if they found him interesting, so he began to believe that he had to drink in order to please them. This led to an escalation in his drinking and not long after he began to question his it but didn't feel like it was an addiction. He kept himself busy to avoid dealing with those thoughts. When Chris was 19 or 20, he was going into another semester at school and was exhausted. He decided to take this time to quit alcohol and drugs. He found himself thinking about alcohol a lot during this time and began to explore what this meant to him. Chris didn't want to share with anyone what he was doing so kept it to himself.   After the three-month break, Chris went back to drinking and it wasn't the same. He realized that alcohol had been ruined for him. He was drinking just because he was terrified of the alternative but eventually decided to quit and this time shared his intention with others.   In spite of having multiple years away from alcohol, Chris didn't feel completely sober. He recently began to prioritize his sobriety and utilize more resources in his recovery. He was listening to the RE podcast but also became more active in Café RE and started going to AA meetings and getting a sponsor. Realizing that he couldn't do it alone was a big revelation for Chris. He says that prioritizing his sobriety is the most important component to having control over the rest of his life.   Christopher's parting piece of guidance: “do what's right for you. Your truth is your truth and there is going to be a lot of outside noise, but you probably know what is going on deep down better than you realize.”     Recovery Elevator Go big, because eventually we'll all go home. I love you guys.   RE on Instagram Café RE RE merch Recovery Elevator YouTube Sobriety Tracker iTunes       

Today we have Maggie. She is 42 years old, from Switzerland, and she took her last drink on February 24th, 2024.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month Café RE – the social app for sober people     Registration for our annual alcohol-free retreat in Bozeman is now open. From August 6th through 10th, we will be spending lots of time in nature, doing breathwork, a lakeside hangout, laser tag and more.   In October of this year, we are going to Peru!  There are still spots available for this 11-day 12-night journey throughout Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.   [02:43] Thoughts from Paul:   A question Paul hears and sees frequently is what to expect when we put the bottle down. He shares that the destruction of alcohol happens in three steps. First the spiritual component, then mental and finally physical. Healing tends to happen in the reverse order. There will be overlap and the transition is not quite linear, nor does the healing ever stop.   Paul expands on what to expect when healing begins and how it can look for our bodies and minds in the first week, month, six months to a year.   [12:06] Paul introduces Maggie:   Maggie is from Switzerland but lives in Hong Kong with her husband Chris and their four dogs. They enjoy spending time on the beach, stand up paddling and triathlons.  Professionally, Maggie was the head of IT in investment banking but has recently changed careers and now is an options equity trader.   Maggie says she had her first drink when she was 13 and instantly felt relief from her anxiety. During her teen years, she says she and her friends spent a lot of time going out to bars and she discovered clubbing and cocaine when she was 18.   Maggie did well in school and started working with hedge funds after graduating. She says the workdays ended at 4pm and everyone would go out to have drinks afterwards. Her drinking wasn't concerning to her at this point in time.   Maggie moved to Hong Kong when she was 24 and this is when she began to realize that she didn't have an off switch when it came to alcohol. Everyone else would be ready to go home and Maggie says she was just getting started.   From the age of 20 to around 30, Maggie says things got progressively worse. While everything looked successful and stable on the outside, inside she was falling apart. Maggie would compare herself with people that were worse off than her as a way to justify her drinking. Moderation entered the picture, and she would sign up for a lot of physical activities as a way to force herself to be sober.   Maggie moved to Singapore before COVID but then lost her job and was there for a year without her husband. That is when she went from binge drinking to daily drinking. Upon her return to Hong Kong, her husband told her she needed to go to AA.   After four years of stops and starts while trying to make AA work, Maggie knew she needed to try something different. Addicted to multiple substances, Maggie checked herself into rehab but relapsed as soon as she left. After her return to Hong Kong, Maggie tried another location where they used EMDR therapy which helped her find the root causes of her addiction issues.   Maggie was given Antabuse after leaving rehab and that has helped alcohol become a non-negotiable for her. In sobriety she learned that she couldn't return to her old job. She has made a career change that allows her to work less hours and find a new hobby creating and selling her art.   Maggie feels peaceful now. Her goals are to continue to do sports and be a better athlete, continue to travel and maintain her current peaceful lifestyle.   Maggie's parting piece of guidance: hang in there and you will eventually get there. Never give up and maybe also explore the root cause of what is causing the drinking in the first place.   Recovery Elevator This isn't a no to alcohol but a yes to a better life. I love you guys.   RE on Instagram RE merch Recovery Elevator YouTube Sobriety Tracker iTunes       

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, I sit down with my good friend Valentin Popescu, a Romanian missionary doing incredible work in Peru. We talk about how he's using Bitcoin as a real-world tool to bring hope and financial inclusion to some of the most remote and underserved communities in the country.Valentin shares his journey, from accidentally ending up in Peru after a back injury and a tragic loss, to launching a network of community centers that provide education, nutrition, emotional support, and now, Bitcoin. We get into his first experience using Bitcoin during the pandemic to buy food for families in need, and how that opened the door to building circular Bitcoin economies in the Andes, the jungle, and the coast.He's now running over a dozen community projects across Peru, places where Bitcoin isn't just a buzzword, it's how people are getting paid, buying food, and saving for the future. It's an inspiring story about faith, resilience, and the power of sound money to transform lives.Whether you're into missions, grassroots Bitcoin adoption, or just want to hear how sats are being spent in the Sacred Valley and the surf town of Huanchaco, this one's for you.Enjoy the show!- MikeSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:https://twitter.com/Bitcoinbeachhttps://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv/https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com/Support Motiv's Work:X: https://x.com/MotivPeruWebsite: https://motiv.ngo/IG: https://www.instagram.com/motivngoglobal/YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNWkLET6XQExcXqBL0SPguQFB: https://www.facebook.com/MOTIVNGOGlobalLI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/motivngoglobal/Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:0:00 – Introduction1:18 – How can Bitcoin help poor communities around the world?3:31 – Who is Valentin Popescu and how did he end up in Peru?6:17 – What happened when Valentin moved to Peru as a missionary?10:15 – How did building playgrounds lead to Bitcoin in Peru?19:58 – Why did Valentin start giving shoes to kids in the Andes?22:45 – How did Bitcoin become a tool for crisis relief in Peru?25:14 – How did a lockdown in Peru lead to using Bitcoin for food?30:54 – Why are Bitcoin fees a problem and how does Lightning fix it?31:11 – What is Blink Wallet and how is it used in Peru?35:55 – How do poor communities start learning about Bitcoin?40:21 – Can Bitcoin help rural towns connect with tourists in Peru?41:43 – How is Bitcoin changing travel in places like Machu Picchu?43:35 – What is Juan Chaco and why is it a new Bitcoin hub?46:01 – How is Bitcoin being used in over 12 places across Peru?47:20 – Can farming communities really use Bitcoin every day?53:30 – Where is Bitcoin being used across the jungle, mountains, and coast in Peru?56:54 – How can people support or visit Motiv Peru's Bitcoin communities?58:38 – Can tourists really pay for everything in Bitcoin in Peru?1:01:20 – What is Motiv Global and how can others follow or get involved?Live From Bitcoin Beach

Tamara is just back from a bucket list trip to Peru with her daughter and she shares all about her lodge-to-lodge trek with Mountain Lodges of Peru and tips for visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Tamara “won” this trip as part of an auction that benefits the Adventure Travel Conservation Fundthat takes place each fall When visiting Cusco and the Sacred Valley, it is best to give yourself 3-4 days to get used to the elevation prior to hiking (Cusco is at about 11,000 feet) You can take Diamox or acetazolamide (prescription) to help prevent altitude sickness Coca tea and coca candies help you with altitude but it also has caffeine so it can disrupt your sleep Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo are at a lower altitude so ideal you would start there and work your way up Peruvian food has a lot of rice, quinoa, and potatoes. For proteins there is beef, pork, chicken, alpaca, and a specialty — guinea pig! The portions are also very large. You shouldn't drink the water (even to brush your teeth) and consider avoiding salads, veggies, and fruits that are rinsed in water Tamara and Hannah took a 5 day trek with a small group of six people and one local guide with Mountain Lodges of Peru. The trip was perfect for those that like to hike but don't want to camp. It includes a mix of cultural activities and hikes but you stay at nice lodges. Some activities included visiting an alpaca museum, a ceremony with an Incan priest, enjoying dancing and music with locals at a weaving cooperative, visiting local markets, exploring Incan ruins, and having lunch at local homes. You need to bring your own hiking poles and need to pack in a light duffel bag or backpack The rainy season is typically November – April and they typically close the Inca Trail in February. However, this year was worse than usual because of El Niño. For the most part you can use credit cards but it helps to have some Peruvian Soles (or some US Dollars) to tip guides, pay for bathrooms, and purchase from local vendors and markets. For the first two nights in Cusco, we stayed at the Andenes Hotel, which was affordable, nice, and great traditional architecture. On our return, we stayed at the Palacio del Inka, which is a part of the Marriott Luxury Collection (which we booked via points.) RELATED EPISODES: Machu Picchu with kids Galapagos with kids

Today we have Niko. He is 43 years old from San Juan, Puerto Rico and took his last drink on September 2nd, 2024.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month Café RE   Next week registration opens for our flagship retreat in Bozeman which is always a lot of fun. In addition to our lake hangout, breathwork and recovery workshops, we're also playing laser tag. We also have a few spots left for our alcohol-free trip this October to Peru which includes travel to Cusco, the Sacred Valley and of course, Machu Picchu.   If you have quit drinking and are looking for new alcohol-free friends, Café RE is the social app for sober people. With 24/7 access to a like-minded community committed to living alcohol-free, you'll never feel alone on this journey.      [03:25] Thoughts from Paul:   Jackass alumni Stevo-O once said he didn't experience alcoholism until he quit drinking. In 1958 alcoholism was first classified as a disease. How does one experience this disease after they stop drinking?   Paul shares his thinking that “if you want to find out why you drink, quit drinking and you'll find out pretty quickly”. And another thought “it's not an alcohol problem; it's a sobriety problem”. When you are addicted to alcohol, withdrawals are a huge problem. But another issues presents itself when we are sober and no longer using alcohol to cope or cheat code for dopamine. Our eyes are wide open to the movie of our lives and there is no way to shut it off.   This is why people in recovery attend social circles where people can talk about the baseline state of the human mind, which is restless, irritable and discontent. When we come together, we have a better chance to heal.   [07:25] Paul introduces Niko:   Niko lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico and is the youngest of three siblings. He enjoys beach tennis, swimming and volleyball, which was something he played a lot in school.   Niko first tried alcohol when he was around 12. By age 14, he had his first blackout. For years Niko never questioned his drinking because he figured if he could tolerate it and wasn't doing stupid or embarrassing things, he was fine.   Niko was recruited to play volleyball in a college in Pennsylvania. His drinking interfered with his grades, but he never questioned his drinking until recently. Drinking is very embedded in his culture and says it isn't abnormal for teenagers to be drinking at the table with adults.   In his 30s, Niko says he added cocaine to his drinking, and this continued until last year. Niko knew he had an issue with it, but it wasn't until his girlfriend presented an ultimatum that it was the drugs or her. He was able to quit cocaine and started therapy where he proclaimed he still had to be able to drink. After a few weeks, he talked with a friend that had recently quit drinking who encouraged him to give it a try.   The first week without alcohol was pretty tough for Niko but he says things turned around in the second week as he entered the pink cloud and started thinking he should keep going.   Niko has dabbled in AA and SMART Recovery. He sees his therapist once a week and also attends group therapy with up to 8 other people. Without alcohol Niko is getting to know himself again and his therapist helps a lot with that. She introduced him to the RE podcast which he says he has listened to a lot while going to the gym and walking the dog. He has lost 45 pounds since quitting drinking and is starting to do more of the sports he loved when he was younger. Since he has been getting to know himself, he is finding the ability to be more present for others as well.   Niko's parting piece of guidance: if you think you have a problem or maybe you don't think you have a problem, just give yourself a try. You won't regret it.     Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, but you gotta take the stairs back up. I love you guys.   RE merch Recovery Elevator YouTube Sobriety Tracker iTunes       

In many indigenous communities across the world, people have long honoured menstruation as a sacred time. Today we're lucky to be exploring the beauty and wisdom of the ancestral moontime medicine of the Andean people, and our guest is Dr Cynthia Ingar, who is an anthropologist and Andean keeper of Woman Medicine wisdom living in the Sacred Valley in Peru. In her late twenties, Cynthia was guided by a mentor to do thirteen traditional Andean moontime retreats where she was in silence and eating a special diet for four days and four nights while she menstruated.Cynthia has dedicated her life to teaching a woman-centered approach to women's health, to traditional midwifery and to revitalizing Andean Woman Medicine including menstrual cycle and the Andean Moontime traditional practices. In this rich, magical conversation, we explore how her moontime retreats prepared her to live her calling, both as a keeper of this Woman Medicine and as a mother to her children. We explore:How we travel to the ‘Ukupacha' when we bleed, which is the realm related to the Feminine, where we perceive life differently, experience altered states of consciousness, and receive insights and wisdom.How Cynthia works with the ancestral Andean practice of praying with her menstrual blood, as an offering to Pachamama, to mother earth. What she has learned from grandmother mentors about how they worked with the ancient menstrual practices to give them inspiration and guidance in their work as the keepers of ceremony and the rituals of life for the community.  ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Today we have Charlie. She is 32 years old from London, UK. She took her last drink on December 28th, 2024.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month   In October of this year, we are going to Peru!  There are still spots available for this 11-day 12-night journey throughout Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Registration closes June 2nd which is the deadline for Inca trail tickets.   [02:50] Thoughts from Paul:   According to NCS solutions, who poll people about their drinking, the number of people who want to cut back on their drinking increases every year.   In 2025, 36% more people participated in Dry January than in 2024. A good reason why the numbers are increasing is reflected in a poem Paul shares called Memories of Alcohol by an unknown author.   So much of the work we do is reframing how we view alcohol. Subconsciously it is still deeply ingrained in our culture that drinking enhances our lives, but we have all learned that it doesn't. Once the voice in our head starts telling us that a drink would be nice or we deserve a drink we can start giving it some tough love and tell it that no, a drink would not be nice and please give me some better ideas.   [05:09] Paul introduces Charlie:   Charlie is a software engineer from London and will be getting married in April. For fun, Charlie has rediscovered that she enjoys skiing, running and swimming.   Growing up, Charlie witnessed both parents struggle with divorce and use of alcohol and medications.  She started drinking when she was around 14. Charlie says everyone around her drank and seemed to be having a good time, so she joined in without thinking twice.   Around her mid-twenties, Charlie started to have a subtle undercurrent of doubt in her mind and a quiet voice suggesting that maybe she wasn't the best version of herself anymore. Since she never had what others would consider a problem, she didn't think her drinking was an issue.   Charlie began to find things weren't going wrong for her, but they weren't necessarily going right either. She felt stagnated. In an effort to try and make changes to this she removed alcohol from time to time and began to connect the dots between her stagnation and the alcohol use.   Charlies says she tried moderation, but it was exhausting. Her all-or-nothing mentality made it difficult. She also shares that she has had multiple stints of around 100 days without alcohol because she learned that was a good amount of time to feel many of the positive effects of quitting.   This time feels different for Charlie because she has leaned into the sobriety community a bit more. She has been listening to podcasts and reading books and learned that the key to maintaining sobriety is to find community. Since there are more people around her encouraging her and sharing insights, Charlie feels this time is indefinite as opposed to the other times when she had a finish line of sorts.   Charlies says since quitting drinking her positivity has returned and she is feeling like the younger version of herself now. She shares that it's amazing how much you can fit into a day when half of it isn't taken up by drinking or recovering from it.   Charlie's parting piece of guidance: if you've never quit drinking before, what's that worst that can happen?   Recovery Elevator It all starts from the inside out. I love you guys. We can do this.     Café RE RE merch Recovery Elevator YouTube Sobriety Tracker iTunes

Luke Jensen is a veteran, neuroscience researcher, and plant medicine practitioner. Returning disenchanted and lost after a deployment to Afghanistan, Jensen shares how his search for healing led to him living in Peru's beautiful Sacred Valley and now offering retreats rooted in indigenous spiritual wisdom, the healing properties of ayahuasca and other plant medicines, and the modern science of brain mapping and neurofeedback.Luke Jensen lives and works at the intersection of neuroscience, anthropology, and the mystical realm of plant medicines. A veteran of the Marine Corps and National Guard, Jensen experienced PTSD and other negative consequences from his deployment to Afghanistan. In 2014, Jensen began to find healing in the Amazon basin learning about shamanic spiritual practices, indigenous wisdom, and the healing properties of ayahuasca and other plant medicines. In collaboration with his mentor, Dr. Richard Soutar, Jensen began field research in Peru of the effects of ritual practice and plant medicines using neurofeedback and QEEG brain mapping resulting in two published academic papers. Through his organization, Tiwaz Awakening, Jensen now offers healing retreats in the Peruvian Sacred Valley that combine the healing properties of plant medicine, the embodied practice of Brazilian jui jitsu, and the modern technology of QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback. These retreats are the subject of a new documentary, “Crossed Paths: Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science.”

In this episode, I invite you to reflect on the power of human connection. As we close the chapter on 2024, I share a profound lesson learned in the serenity of the Sacred Valley: how solitude helps us grow, but also how connections with others are essential for thriving. Listen with an open heart and discover how love, presence, and mutual support can transform our lives. Join me on this journey of reflection and renewal, and let's start the new year with more love and connection!

"The brain needs to rest." I first saw this simple yet powerful message on a hobbit-style hut at a retreat center in Peru's Sacred Valley. It was a call to us “busy humans” to slow down, shut off, and create space for stillness. Years later, this reminder still makes me pause. In this episode, I share the story of the hut, its resident shaman Benito, and his profound practice of simplicity and rest. His message is one we all need to hear. Take a moment to pause—and listen.

Let's unlock the magic of infinite receiving and step into a new chapter of our lives together. Are you ready? Let's dive in!QUOTES: "My life changing experience only becomes truly life changing when I choose to make different decisions.""There will always be an action for you to be able to take.""The more you push away what is, the more you block your receiving."HIGHLIGHTS: 12:19 It's understanding that your mentor, your coach, gets to share with you their way how they've learned it. And then through the creation of space and silence, you get to learn how that serves the magic that is innate and inherent and specific to you.39:13  Even if old neural pathways are very alive and present with the desiring to fill and over consume with input, I understand the importance of really creating space for my new gifts to come through and old awarenesses, old wisdom, new wisdom, all of that good stuff happens in the silence happens in the space.46:38 When somebody asks you or when you recount what happened, how you recount what happened in the ceremony will be a mirror for how you recount what happens in your life. Because in that temple, during that ceremony, all of life is happening and it's chaos and it's beautiful, it's hard and it's joyful and it's painful and it is heart expanding. It's all of the things.Want to get my Sunday Times Bestselling book for free?

Luke Jensen stands at the intersection of neuroscience, anthropology, and the mystical realm of plant medicines. As a neurofeedback practitioner and researcher, Luke has embarked on a groundbreaking journey to map the human brain during one of the most profound spiritual experiences—the use of Huachuma, or San Pedro.For the first time in history, Luke's work captures the brain's enigmatic dance through EEG and QEEG imaging before, during, and after encounters with this sacred cactus. His research not only pushes the boundaries of neuroscience but also ventures into the depths of human consciousness, trauma, and the soul itself.Luke's work reveals a fascinating paradox: while every brain responds differently to plant medicines, they all seem to heal and move toward balance, as if guided by an unseen hand. With inspiration from his mentor, Dr. Richard Soutar, and an unwavering curiosity about the mysteries of the mind, Luke is helping to uncover how plant medicines transform the brain and perhaps even the essence of what it means to be human.Today, we dive into the questions his work raises: How does trauma store itself in the brain? What happens when plant medicines begin to heal these wounds? And what can this research teach us about consciousness itself? It's a privilege to welcome Luke Jensen, a pioneer at the edge of science and spirit, to the show.

“They have to find their own path. So maybe they go back home and then they start to be a bit more conscious about where they live. Maybe they realize that, ‘Oh, there's an amazing foundation in my village or in my town,' and they start to support that foundation. And that's perfect. You know, our seeds of love make them a bit more human.” We're in great company with Petit Miribel, the Founder and Owner of Sol y Luna, a luxury hotel nestled in the Sacred Valley of the Incas at the foothills of Machu Picchu in Peru, where the rich Andean culture and local community impact is authentic in every encounter.  Sol y Luna is much more than its Relais & Châteaux distinction, its profits wholly finance the Sol y Luna Foundation which pursues inclusion and equality through education for the children of the Sacred Valley along with sustainable work opportunities for local families. In this episode, Petit sheds light on the serendipitous series of events that led her to the Sacred Valley and how once there, she felt it was her responsibility to leave her mark on future generations of children and travelers alike.  Top Takeaways [2:00] After living a privileged upbringing in France, Petit was quick to recognize that much of the world was not as fortunate. After asking herself why, she recognized she had the resources to change that.  [5:10] The story of how Petit found herself in Peru starts with a friendly reminder to us all, “In life, there is a path that you have to follow and that path leads you to where you belong and you have to be very respectful of not rushing into everything.”  [7:47] Walking around the Sacred Valley of the Inca's was like taking a step back in time, and not in a nostalgic way, as Petit and her husband uncovered the poverty the local schools and community hospitals were faced with in this tourist town.   [11:30] The Sol y Luna Hotel was not designed with the creature comforts of home…instead Petit intentionally curated and created so much more for travelers to immerse in.    [16:30] To Dine In Good Company at Sol y Luna, one does not have to go far to find the freshest ingredients in the market - gathered from the jungle or caught in the sea, and now even high-altitude craft wine is the talk of the town.   [20:00] At the foothills of Machu Picchu, there are boundless expeditions to enjoy - from tandem paraglides to cycling courses, from horseback rides between remote villages to kayaks under snow capped peaks - but the next generation of Sol y Luna is taking us off the beaten path to experience so much more. [26:30] As the Sol y Luna foundation celebrates its 25th Anniversary, Petit shares how it has grown over time just as the children it touches, to consist of the Sol y Luna School, Paqari for special needs support, the Sol y Luna Home, and Roots & Wings for further education.   [36:40] As Petit's son and daughter come of age, they have much in store for the future of both the foundation and the hotel - bringing big hearts, different perspectives and fresh ideas.   Notable Mentions Tablas de Sarhua  Apu Winery Petit's favorite Peruvian dish & drink: Ají de Gallina & Chicha “Ayni” in the Quechua language means “reciprocity”  Visit For Yourself Sol y Luna Foundation Website | @solylunafoundation Sol y Luna Hotel Website | @solylunahotel Stay In Good Company Website

Episode 136 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Max Monge Quineche. I met Max a couple of years ago in a shared temazcal in the Sacred Valley of Peru. I was impressed by his presence in the space and out and got to know him a bit and learn of his work with ayahuasca and the Shipibo. So it was a pleasure to finally sit down and speak with him on the podcast after a few years time. We spoke about his background and coming to plant medicines at an early age, his challenges, the plant dieta, knowledge and wisdom, Western and indigenous cosmovisions, family constellation, and much more. I was really impressed by his wisdom and I think his work with plants really shows in how and what he expresses. For those interested in ayahuasca and plant medicine work, I think this is one of the more informative talks you'll find.

Welcome back to Higher  Density Living. This episode delves into the mysteries surrounding ancient sacred sites could be remnants of a forgotten worldwide civilization hosted by Jason Rigby. We are joined by special guest Camille Sauvé, she is known for her exploration in the fascinating work of Peruvian researcher Alfredo Gamarra, known for identifying three distinct architectural styles representing three ancient world ages. By connecting these styles to sacred sites globally, Sauvé paints a picture of an advanced culture that once spanned the earth.   Combining insights from famous clairvoyants and modern scientific research, "The Sorcerers of Stone" reveals that many of these sacred sites are far older than previously believed.   These monoliths feature perfectly carved terraces, massive steps, and intricate underground grottos, often with characteristics that defy scientific explanation. Sauvé discusses how these structures, revered by subsequent civilizations, might have been constructed using sophisticated techniques like acoustic levitation and ancient geopolymers. She also explores their placement on earth's power spots and their significant piezoelectric properties due to high quartz and silica content.   Sauvé introduced a wide range of concepts and ideas helpful to make sense of the mysteries surrounding the theories behind these peculiar structures.  The book entails the mysteries of ancient architecture and forgotten civilizations. This captivating work explores the concept of a long-lost global culture through the lens of three distinct architectural styles found in sacred sites worldwide, each representing different world ages. Sauvé delves into the Cosmogony of the Three Worlds, examining how these three distinct styles reflect unique cultural epochs and are tied to the Expanding Earth Timeline.   The book provides an in-depth analysis of the advanced science behind these ancient stone constructions. It explores whether techniques like Acoustic Levitation and the use of Geopolymers were employed to move and shape these massive monoliths. Additionally, Sauvé investigates the potential use of Vitrification in these structures and the intriguing role of sound in healing and sacred rites, particularly within Initiation Chambers designed to induce altered states.   She also mentions Rending the Veil: Visions from the Akashic, drawing upon the insights of clairvoyants like Rudolf Steiner, Madame Blavatsky, and Subramuniya, who accessed ancient knowledge through the Akashic records. This section provides a unique perspective on the spiritual and esoteric significance of these ancient sites and the cultures that built them.   Finally, Sauvé reexamines our historical narrative, presenting Stone Oddities and Tales of Lost Worlds that challenge conventional archaeology. She highlights examples of Hanan and Uran Pacha sites around the globe, offering compelling evidence of their existence and significance. By weaving together these diverse threads, the book invites readers to reconsider our understanding of history and the remarkable achievements of early human civilizations.   And that's what we're going to get in today. Sauvé delves deep into their technical sophistication, their potential uses, and the burning question, this mystery that we've all wanted to know. It's who created these awe-inspiring structures.   When visiting Peru, especially around Cusco and Sacsayhuaman, you notice three distinct styles of stonework. The earliest style, known as huaca, often appears as if fingerprints have pressed into the stone, forming canals and various shapes. The official narrative attributes this to stone, bronze, or copper tools, but this explanation seems insufficient given the hardness of the metamorphosed limestone. Today, it might have been a geopolymer, which hardens over time, and its chemical composition includes limestone. From extensive observations, it's clear these forms likely resulted from press forms and seats in a different state, rather than being carved with bronze or copper tools, which would be too soft. The precise 90-degree angles and fine grooves suggest advanced techniques beyond the Inca Empire's capabilities. These constructions, found throughout Peru, hint at an advanced, possibly worldwide civilization.   It's fascinating how mysterious megalithic sites appear in Japan, China, Italy, and more, suggesting a widespread ancient civilization. The timeline, explored through the Akashic records by figures like Rudolf Steiner, Madame Blavatsky, and Edgar Cayce, provides insights. Steiner described environments from the Lemurian time with huge fern trees, a hot climate, and larger mammals and reptiles. The Lemurians, masters of stonework, lived on a much warmer, less dense planet, which facilitated their ability to form stone.   Accounts from Spanish chroniclers reveal that the Inca themselves claimed to have discovered these sites, not built them. Locals chronicle the structures predated their ancestors, attributing them to a god called Wiracocha. When the Spanish arrived in Peru, they encountered advanced constructions like the walls at Sacsayhuaman and attributed them to sorcerers, as they couldn't fathom how the locals could have built them with their tools. This was recorded by chroniclers who asked the locals about the builders, and they often pointed to Wiracocha, a god believed to have created many significant sites.    Oral traditions and local knowledge continue to play a vital role in understanding these sites. Many guides and locals still speak of Wiracocha, who is said to have taught humanity how to cultivate crops, build structures, and essentially civilize them. Some legends even suggest that these advanced beings came from underground or another galaxy, with Lake Titicaca as a central base.   The concept of the planet being smaller and less dense, as described by Jesus and Alfredo Gamarra through dreams and meditations, aligns with the idea of an Earth that expanded over time. This smaller Earth, referred to as the Golden Age, might date back around 200 million years, a time when proto-humanity existed in a more gaseous state before crystallizing. Such ideas, while far from mainstream scientific thought, resonate with theosophical teachings about early humanity.   Personal experiences at these sites, such as a small cave near the Moon Temple complex, often involve intense energy and altered states of consciousness. These locations, considered sacred, might be built on geomagnetic lines, enhancing their mystical properties. Despite the lack of scientific acknowledgment in Peru, the concept of ceques or leylines is well-known, with 328 huacas found along these lines radiating from the sun temple in Cusco.   Megalithic sites worldwide were constructed with materials like quartz-rich stone, which, combined with electromagnetic energies, can create altered states of consciousness. These sites, built with a deep understanding of earth energies, were likely intended for more than just primitive worship. The precise and advanced nature of the construction suggests a civilization with profound knowledge of how to harness these energies for the benefit of humanity.   Certain sites, such as Qenko, appear to have been used for initiation rituals, where candidates would undergo transformative experiences, potentially involving psychoactive substances, to learn about the non-physical aspects of reality. These initiatory journeys, often aligned with celestial events like Venus rising, indicate a sophisticated understanding of both the physical and metaphysical worlds.   The advanced stonework and the profound energy of these sites point to an ancient civilization with a deep understanding of earth energies and consciousness. While more scientific research is needed, especially in Peru, to fully understand these sites, they undeniably hold keys to our past and offer insights into the advanced capabilities of ancient civilizations.    About the Guest:  Camille M.

Proof of a long-forgotten ancient worldwide civilization• Explains the three distinct architectural styles found at the majority of sacred sites, representing three ancient world ages• Examines evidence of the two oldest architectural ages at sites in the Sacred Valley of Peru in depth, connecting them to other sites around the world• Explores the sophisticated science behind the construction of these stone sites, including modern research on acoustic levitation and ancient use of geopolymersAll around the world are mysterious ancient monoliths with strange features—perfectly carved terraces, massive steps, basins, and abstract forms with underground grottos and cave systems. Most archaeologists have a hard time explaining them and attribute their construction to the earliest known cultures in the area.Examining sacred sites in Peru and their counterparts around the world, researcher and journalist Camille M. Sauvé shows how these sites share specific architectural characteristics and reveal evidence of a very ancient culture that once existed worldwide. She examines the work of Peruvian researcher Alfredo Gamarra, who first described in detail the three distinct building styles and construction methods of these sites and how they represent three ancient world ages. She explains how Hanan Pacha ("heaven above") constructions, the oldest style, are universally revered as sacred by the civilizations that came after them. Weaving together a tapestry of what early humanity looked like, Sauvé examines the writings of famous clairvoyants like Rudolf Steiner, Madame Blavatsky, and Edgar Cayce who recorded the works of early man through the Akashic records.Besides the more esoteric questions about who could have built these wonders, Sauvé also examines the unique properties of the monoliths themselves and the sophisticated science behind the construction of these stone sites. She shows how they seem to be placed on earth power spots and how most of the rocks have significant piezoelectric properties from high quartz and silica content.Revealing that many sacred sites are much older than previously thought, Camille Sauvé shows that Peru may hold the secret to remembering our forgotten prehistory.Camille M. Sauvé is an independent journalist, photographer, graphic designer, and author living in the Sacred Valley in Cusco, Peru. She has spent hundreds of hours researching and personally exploring Peru's enigmatic archaeological sites, their technical sophistication, possible uses, and who was responsible for their creation.www.sorcerersofstone.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Episode 75 - Rob from Adeptus Psychonautica This episode of the MAPS Podcast features and all new, and very entertaining, interview with Rob from Adeptus Psychonautica which is a YouTube channel, podcast and psychedelic education and harm reduction outlet. Rob and Zach chat about the current state of the psychedelic movement, their earliest introductions into plant medicine healing and get into Robs all around unique take on magic and mysticism!  Rob considers himself to be a fairly ordinary person from the North West of England, who like most teenagers back in the 1990's was introduced to various mind altering chemicals, some of which had a profound effect on him and encouraged further exploration into the world of altered states. This journey has lasted over thirty years until the present day. As well as his personal exploration Rob has spent significant time participating in traditional psychedelic ceremonies, from ayahuasca in the Amazon, to huachuma in the Sacred Valley, and amanita muscaria in his native Europe. In 2018 Rob started a YouTube channel as a hobby, with the goal being to document some of his travels in South America. The channel was named Adeptus Psychonautica as a reference to the sci-fi mysticism of Warhammer 40K (a board game), and also because roughly translated it means "one who has been initiated into the college of psychonautic study", which not only served as an appropriate description, but also sounded kinda cool. Rob currently lives in Switzerland with his two teenage children, and a small assortment of tropical fish.

Carla Valpeoz was 35 years old when she left Michigan with a friend  to attend a wedding, celebrate her birthday, and explore Peru. Following the wedding, and wanting to do some solo exploring, Carla ventured alone  to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. But tragically, the last known sighting of Carla was captured by surveillance cameras in the village of Pisac on the morning of December 12th, 2018, a she made her way toward the Sacred Valley. This journey held profound significance for Carla, because she had been slowly losing her sight since childhood and already had very low vision.  She was determined to see the wonders of the world before darkness took over. What transpired thereafter remains a mystery. Did Carla's visual impairment render her vulnerable to foul play? Or did an unfortunate accident befall her? Listen as we dive into Peru, the case of Carla Valpeoz, and how to stay alive on vacation.

And I remember when I saw that that shamanic healer back then she's like, you're not, you're not a violent person, you're not an angry person, you've had so much pain. And at that time, I didn't correlate that, right? Because I'm like, I'm not in pain. I'm tough. You know, like, I'm from New York. Don't mess with me. You know.Lesley Logan 0:25  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:07  All right, love. So we are going to get a little spiritual, little spiritual healing in this week's episode. And I want to do this because I think it can be I think we get really obsessed as a recovering perfectionist and overachievers with like a checklist, check, check, check, check, check. And then we just come across some things we just can't check off. Maybe you're frustrated with yourself, because you've been like doing the work and like you're just still reacting in a way you don't want to react to something. And oftentimes, those things are ingrained. And you didn't even teach yourself that like someone else taught you. And I'm not saying that to get you off the hook. Because you're not off the hook. It's like it's your work to do. But if you've been doing all the things to get to change something you want to change in your life and it's not changing, then doing the same thing over and over again, is just the definition of insanity. Lesley Logan 1:52  So our guest this week is Diana Min and she actually you're I think gonna resonate with her so much you all because she shares her story about how she was raised. The woman she was in New York. What happened in her rock bottom that got her to where she is and then also we get into what she's doing now. And how she made the transition from being like corporate girl to like, I'm a healer now. And let's go and do some ayahuasca and like, what was that like because wow, what a transition that would be. And then we also get into how she manifested the man that she's with. And it's actually a really cool story. So I love stories like this, because especially if you are single, you're like, I can't meet someone like there are so many ways to randomly meet someone. There really, really are. And I cannot wait for you to hear how this happened because it's a sign that it's possible for you never underestimate the power of some weird free app. So. So anyways, thank you so much for being a listener of this podcast, I want to I know I say that at the end of every show. But I really do mean it. I want to just take a moment to say thank you. The show is growing because of you. And when you download the show, it counts people actually count it and it affects it allows us to get sponsors, get new listeners, get things like that. And if you're like I don't want to sponsor Well, it's like, well, these things cost money. And so having other people sponsor the show means we can just bring more great content, bigger guests, better guests, more crazy and amazing information for you. So because of you we are growing and I just want to say thank you because if you ever are doubting like what am I doing on this planet? Well right now, you're supporting an amazing show that's hoping to inspire you, help you be it till you see it and help others do the same. So thank you. And now here is Diana Min. Lesley Logan 3:23  All right, Be It babe, I'm so excited because one of your favorite guests, Kate Hudson referred this amazing guest to us today. She's gorgeous. She's beautiful inside and out. And well, actually, she's going to tell you her whole entire journey. But I really wanted to have her because we haven't had anyone talked about this in a long time. And I the way she brings up what she's so good at is so specific, and you can actually do it and she's living the life that she talks about. So Diana Min, will you tell everyone who you are, and what you're rockin at?Diana Min 3:51  Hi, Lesley, thank you so much for having me. So I'm Diana Min, I'm an empowerment coach. I'm a spiritual mentor. I help people overcome their trauma, I help people really work through their inner blockages so that they can step into their power and really live the life that they were destined to live here. And I mean, a lot of my work really stems from my own journey of healing and everything that I've led myself through. And now I get to support other people on that journey as well.Lesley Logan 4:17  So let's talk about like how to, because I mean, like, it's not when you go to college spiritual coach is not really something that you get to check. So like, how did you, how did one, how does one become who they're, like, what drove, what drew you in? What was the, what was the, you know, impetus? Diana Min 4:32  Yeah, I mean, it was my own journey of healing, right. So I'm from New York. So I was raised by a bipolar narcissistic mother that I was viciously abused by my whole life. And so I came out with a slew of things to work on. I had borderline personality disorder, PTSD, anxiety, depression, I was an alcoholic and drug addict. I mean, I had OCD. The list goes on. I had all the all the letters and I I really was trying to essentially subconsciously almost kill myself the way I was living my life at the time in New York. I was achieving externally, right, because that's what abused children do. We, we achieve for validation and you know, work to perform for love. And so I was doing that and I felt so empty and miserable and nothing I was doing on an external level, no matter how much money I was making out, no matter much, how much I was climbing my corporate job, and, you know, how many vacations I took, like nothing was filling that void inside of me. And it got to a point where I was like, I kind of want to kill myself, but I feel like I need to ask for help. And so I sought out a shamanic healer myself when I was living in New York, and, you know, I had no idea about the spiritual world at the time I had an inkling right, but I had no idea what it really consisted of until I started working with this woman in Brooklyn, and lots of shamanic healing. If anybody knows, you want me to talk (inaudible).Lesley Logan 6:02  I'm gonna tell you right now. Like, I think many people going from like overachiever, overachiever burnout. The next step isn't like shamanic healer, usually, like usually like the next step is like antidepressants, you know, more and more things. So like, yeah, how? How did like, let's talk about the shamanic healer, what they are and like how you got there? Diana Min 6:23  Yeah, it was honestly, so divine alignment, right? Because I had a girlfriend that sent me her healer's number and literally all it said was healer. And there was no name, there was nothing. And I was in the middle of like a like a mental breakdown, right? I just called this number. I'm like crying on the phone. I'm like, I don't know who you are but I need help. And she's like, who are you? You know, and it was just one of those things where it's like I had no idea what she did. But she said she could help me so I want to go see her. Diana Min 6:52  Shamanic healing deals within the this the spirit realm right so a lot of the things that we carry within ourselves, trauma, it is energetic, right? They're not physical wounds we can see anymore but they're emotional wounds, they're deep, mental, psychological wounds and those have a frequency, they have an energy, and they're most likely lodged into our spiritual body or our emotional body. And because these layers are obviously invisible, and not tangible, we, we don't believe that they're there until we really feel what happens when they're lifted from us. Right? And we feel the lightness of ourselves and we feel ourselves starts coming back into life. We start to feel more enjoyment in our lives, more fulfillment in our lives, right? And we just, food tastes better. Everything looks more beautiful, right? That's kind of how it was for me. Like I had no idea what she was doing. There's some rattling, there's some drumming. You know what I mean? I'm laying, I'm laying in her living room, crystals all over me. I take like a three-hour nap. I wake up I don't know what's going on. You know, I, did I really know what was happening? Absolutely not. I just knew I started to feel so much more alive and better and lighter, less heavy, right, less dense. Diana Min 7:59  And so she eventually would lead me into my first Ayahuasca ceremony and that was really what kicked things into high gear for me, I became sober after that first ceremony. So I've now been sober for about eight years. And just immediately, everything started to change in my physical life outside of that, right, because once you start to work with the sacred plant, I believe the great grandmother, she starts to really open up pathways in your life that weren't there before. And so I started to really understand that, you know, all the trauma that I had experienced in my life was given to me as a gift for me to grow stronger and more resilient and to transcend it and become something I didn't know what at the time, right what, but, um, and then I would find myself serendipitously in a second Ayahuasca ceremony, like a month later.Lesley Logan 8:55  You did it twice? Because of, once feels like a journey. I've heard the journeys.Diana Min 9:01  I've done it at this point over 200 times. Yeah.Lesley Logan 9:04  Really? I didn't know. Okay, so okay, I don't want to get sidetracked. So you did it a month later, let's go back into your journey then I want to go into why (inaudible).Diana Min 9:12  A month later, I found myself obviously again, coincidentally in a second one in which I was told I was going to move to California. And then I was like, that's a weird thought. And then a week later, I got fired from a job, a week later, my relationship ended in like a firestorm. And I had to move out, find a new place and just everything started to align. I moved to San Diego with four boxes to my name, new identity, newly sober I have no idea what's going on. And just everything was just aligned and clicking and I landed here and I was like, I have no idea what just happened to me. And I just began to follow the path right? Like I've gone to Peru. I've worked with Shamans in the jungle in the Sacred Valley. I continue to follow the work with the medicine for me. That's where the answers really live for me and I continue to do my own work in the spiritual realm as far as like becoming a Reiki Master, become a yoga teacher, right? Like doing, you know, I've done 10 day silent meditations, like, I've continued to explore all the healing modalities in the spiritual realm. Like everything, right? Because for me, it was about healing myself. Diana Min 10:14  Over time, I started organizing, Ayahuasca retreats and ceremonies, you know, all over the place, because I wanted to share this medicine with other people. And then I kind of grew a reputation in that community. And so then people were coming to me asking me for support before their ceremonies after their ceremonies. And so I realized I was being an integration coach. And so then I just continued to really understand, Oh, I've actually done a lot of my own work. And I can support people on their journey now, because, you know, I've walked it. And then I built a multi-six-figure business doing that. And now Lesley Logan 10:48  That's, so that's, so that's crazy. So that's how you got to where you are, because it was like one like little one stepping stone at a time and it sounds like you're like, okay, I'll start and I'll get this training, and I'll get this training. You've been like adding in it. So how long ago did you move to California? How long have you been doing this?Diana Min 11:03  I moved to California in 2016. So that, it's like seven years ago, and then I first started working with the medicine in 2015, so.Lesley Logan 11:10  Very cool. So okay, so you've done Ayahuasca 200 times, does it have the same effect each time or is it like now that you're cleansed, it's like, you're it's almost like, like an enlightening message, like, you've got to move to California. Diana Min 11:28  Yeah, it's more like an oil change like a tune-up, right? Because life happens, right? And we're continuing, we're continually picking up new things that we might need to release from us, right relationships and or, you know, new levels, new devils is kind of what I call it, right? Every time you're trying to expand into a new level, you're going to hit blockages, either your inner self or your belief systems or things that you've inherited from your ancestors, right? And so you're always going to have to expand into a bigger version of yourself to, to reach those new levels of success of abundance of whatever it is that you're achieving in your life. And so for me, I'm, I'm a self-development junkie, right? It's like, I'm always trying to grow and always trying to be better. And, you know, we're never done learning. We're never done healing. And we're multi-layered beings, right? There's, there was a time, you know, two, three years in on my journey, I was like, I'm probably fully healed, like, I'm probably all done, right? And then like I do an Ayahuasca ceremony like, they peel back this layer, and there's all this, like, you know, like bugs and like little grubbies under there. And you're like, oh, let's look under here. Like yeah, I'm not done at all.Lesley Logan 12:34  Like that one closet like Monika had and friends like that one closet that no one into. I love that you brought that up because it's true, like, I think people can listen and go, oh, my God, she's like, a spiritual healer, she's got it all figured out. And it's like, ish, we all do. And then there's always like, and there is another level and you're having to strengthen the skill sets you have gotten already. And in doing that, it always will bring up a little bit of something else that like, you know, just like (inaudible) it's, it's a, it's like going to the gym, like, you can bicep curl 15 pounds, it's gonna be hard, and then it's gonna be easy. And then when you go to hit 20, it's gonna go back to being hard. And it's easy. And so you have like, there's a little bit like, when people get upset two steps forward, one step back. It's like, yeah, of course, because you get to go check out the view and go, oh, yeah, glad I left this place.Diana Min 13:25  Right, exactly. And I mean, that's what makes life exciting, right? You never get to a place and you're like, this is, this is good enough. And I'm gonna sit here there's always a desiring of more of growth and expansion, right? And that's why we get to continually learn and, and explore it, our inner worlds or outer worlds, and yeah, everything in between. Lesley Logan 13:45  So I want to talk because like, this can all sound really fine and dandy, but like, how does someone know that they should be working with a spiritual healer versus like, therapy or sematics or something like that? Like, what's the what's the bright line? Like you like had this? Like, you know, your rock bottom, your friend's like healer, here you go. Like, here's your next step. How, like when someone listening going, oh, that's actually maybe the next step for me.Diana Min 14:05  Yeah. I feel like if you are intuitively called, and hopefully you have some level of relationship with your intuition, right? How does it feel in your body? That's kind of how I like make most of my decisions. Is it a full body yes? Or is it a full body no? Or is it sometimes if you're on the fence, right? For me, that's a no, a full body yes is like, yes, I'm going. Like I can't wait, so excited. Right? And here's the thing. I also have a therapist, but she's also a very spiritual therapist, very, like she's also done Ayahuasca with me. So it's like, we're it depends like what you're looking for. I think you need if you're looking for a healer, a coach, somebody that's working in the spiritual realm, if you understand that traditional therapy has not worked for you, because I was in traditional therapy for a while when I was in New York and on my healing journey, and it just was not hitting the layers that I needed it to hit. Diana Min 15:00  Yeah, it wasn't like breaking down, like the barriers of like what was built up inside it was causing you not to, like make the decisions that you're making that got you where you are. Diana Min 15:08  Right, right. I felt like I was just kind of spinning my wheels and not really getting anywhere and seeing real progress in my life. And so I was like, There's got to be something deeper. And that's what that, you know, caused me to go seek some other alternative support, which, you know, I think everybody should try, right, to see and understand. And then if it doesn't work for you, then it's cool. You learn something, right? Lesley Logan 15:30  Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I don't know that this stuff is like woo woo. But it can feel very, like two woos for people like it can be like, they're like willing to have a couple crystals. But then like, you know, it's like, do you, do you think? How would you like describe, would you wish that sort of healing was not a woo woo thing? Would you like it to be considered like more than that? Or you're like, nope, it's 1000% in the woo woo world and that's where we love to hang out? Diana Min 15:54  No, well, if you follow any of my work, a lot of my work is actually regarding like quantum physics. So I talk about energy in the sense of like, in the quantum realm, like, energy, vibration, like that is all quantifiable, right? Like, if you follow Dr. Joe Dispenza, like he's proven it through science, that all of this is real, like, there is nothing woo about it, it's actually backed by science that, like your thoughts are sending out a vibration, which then attracts back a reality of that same resonance. So no, I don't believe it's woo at all, I think that if people dig a little bit deeper, they'll understand that we are vibrational beings, and we're constantly sending out a signal with how we feel and what we're constantly attracting to us, whatever it is, that we're focusing on and a lot of times, subconsciously, we have energies that we've inherited from our birth mother, our parents, our ancestors, right, because if you think about on an on, like, on a biological level, when you're in your mother's womb, you're absorbing all of her DNA, you're absorbing all of her emotions, everything she's ingesting, you know, her her emotional diet, her physical diet, you're taking it all in, and not just from her, but also your father and all of this, the DNA that they've inherited, so you're coming out with, sometimes, I work with a lot of clients, the wounds that they're working through, or the blockages that they're working through or the beliefs that they're working through, they have no idea where they ever picked it up from because they didn't they it was actually they were born with them, that's kind of our job in, in this incarnation, right, is to really work through the entanglement that we have received, and then create, and move beyond what our parents were able to accomplish so that we can then lay a foundation for the next generation to build on top of that. Lesley Logan 17:48  Yeah, I mean, you're totally right, because it's like the book, like What Happened To You. And it's like, very clear, like, you, like how your brain develops is based on like, from the back to the front. And so if your care is inconsistent, the first three months, it's gonna change entirely how you see the world and the energies you put out. And it's, can you recreate the brain? Yeah, you can, if like, if you have people who recognize it, like at an early age, but good luck if your parents were the ones who were inconsistent in your care, and that's time. So like, what I'm hearing you say, like, we, we kind of like, that's just how I am like, I think that's like the worst sentence anyone can ever say. It's like a death sentence to grow with, like, this is just how I am. But actually, like, if you can understand, like, I don't know why I'm doing these things this way. And I don't want to do them that way anymore. You know, having, having the opportunity to work with someone who can help peel back layers that you didn't actually know that you built, because you didn't because someone else did it for you. Like, of course, like it makes a lot of sense to me when you're like, I don't even know what that came from. It's like, well, if you didn't put it there you can't really take it away. You don't really know what it was you don't know where it starts. Diana Min 18:56  Right? Exactly. I used to be such an angry person and so violent and like, I used to think like you said, I'm like, well, this is just who I am. And I remember when I saw that that shamanic healer back then she's like, you're not, you're not a violent person, you're not an angry person, you've had so much pain. And at that time, I didn't correlate that, right? Because I'm like, I'm not in pain. I'm tough. You know, like, I'm from New York. Don't mess with me. You know. And now I'm like, the most sensitive, like loving, compassionate person, but because it wasn't who I was. It was the defenses that I had built up to my environment. It was the trauma that it that was almost glitching out my system, right? And who I am and who I was, was buried underneath that. And so I feel like if you're going to work with a spiritual healer, any type of energetic work or more holistic healing, what it's really doing is peeling back the layers of who you're not so that you can remember the truth of who you are.Lesley Logan 19:54  Yeah. So I want to go back to like you transition into this because obviously They like being in the corporate world being a New Yorker, like, go, go go, and then to like, slowly transition to this person who's an empowerment and spiritual healer? How, like, what were the steps that you took to like, feel confident in doing that? Because one of the reasons this show exists is that so many people like this is where I want to go, but this is where I am. And I have to wait to be deemed, you know, like, from someone that I'm there. And I'm like, No, you actually don't need to wait for the there's no one deeming you like, unless you're actually going to see the queen. Like, but she's not around anymore. No one's actually taking a sword and deeming you anything like you actually have to take that for yourself. So like, what was that journey like for you?Diana Min 20:35  Oh, it was horrible. It was so hard. I think I cried every step of the way. Because I had this huge fear of being seen this huge fear of being heard, right. Like, I did not believe in my skills, like people would tell me all the time, like, yeah, you should put up videos online and talk about spiritual healing. And I'm like, who's gonna want to listen to me? I don't know anything, right? Like, I was always just like, dimming my light, because I was so scared of being judged and criticized and failing, right? I think the pivotal point for me was hiring support, hiring a coach or mentor, and having them reflect back to me my power, because a lot of times you can't see yourself in that light, when you're stuck in your very limited, you know, perspective of who you are and what you're capable of. Right. And I would always find, like, at the right time by somebody that's just like, calling me forward into my power. And, and kind of holding my hand along the way until I felt strong enough, or I started to get, you know, my legs going where I could do it on my own. And that's really what it is. I feel like, people are scared sometimes to ask for help. And I really don't feel like we can do it alone. I didn't do it alone. I know anybody that's built something great has not done it alone. Right? And so, yeah, asking for support I think is key. Because trying to go at it alone. You're gonna get faced with all of your, you know, all your shadows. And then you're gonna, you're I mean, how it happened to me for a long time, I would just hide back into my little hole. And you know what, not gonna do it. Nevermind. Right? If you have somebody that's holding you accountable. That's like, no, no, no, we're still going. That was just a little hiccup. Let's keep let's keep walking. Right? And not feeling alone on that journey is really powerful.Lesley Logan 20:35  Yeah, no, I think that's really good advice. I'm wondering, like, as you're saying all that because my brain was like, well, I wonder how she found the person. So I guess my next question for you is like, how do people find a spiritual leader that's right for them? Because obviously, like, like anything, like a mate, like, this is the person that's peeling back the layers. Like I don't want some weird cult leader, I actually want, I hate to say that, but like, also, like, you know, like, what, what are people Googling, like, what are they, how would they know that this is the right healer for them?Diana Min 22:58  Yeah, that would be another thing that I would say check in with your body and look at people's testimonials, you know, have a consultation with them. Look, if they've helped other people that are in similar situations, I say testimonials, testimonials, testimonials, because checking in with their past results and seeing how they led other people through a transformation or through you know, to the, to their next level, and seeing does that resonate with you? Does that feel like, like, I'm aligned with that? Right? Because I definitely hired people where I'm like, never working with that person again, right? And so that's kind of what you kind of go through, right? You're like that, oh, I didn't listen to myself then. And that's the outcome that I got, but a lot of times like it was either a full body yes. Or it was just kind of like because I get people like that in my world all the time. They're like I don't know what you do and I don't know how you do it, but I just feel resonance with you and I just feel like I need to work with you. I'm like, trust that queen let's go You know what I mean? Lesley Logan 23:54  Yeah. Yeah, I think like also I would say like, are the people that you're that are given the testimonials are they like out and about doing like things in the world? Or are they like all stuck in like a commune together that you know, like that's a might be if they're like out doing their goals and their dreams probably a good healer and they're like, living with the person and they're not allowed to leave, that's a sign. And like, you know, I think people might be hearing like, oh, trust my gut, I don't know, like, trust my body. Like one of the things I don't know you might have a tip for this. One of the things that I heard someone say was like, have someone asked you like, very true easy yes, no questions and like just feel what that feels like and then literally have them tell you ask you a question and you lie about it. Or like you know what I mean, like you and you'll feel instantly like your body does when it like it's a no but you've said yes or you know, like so you can really figure out like because that we are like most people walk around very disassociated from their body, their mind and their body are not really there. And so they don't know how to trust that so they can be easily convinced and unsure and like that's just one of the ways that I was able to feel like a I'm having like, I'm having resistance here. And I don't know why. So it's a no right now and I can go explore that later. I don't need to be talked into it at this moment, you know?Diana Min 25:07  Yeah. Yeah, that's a really good trick. You're having somebody asks you really fast yes or no questions. Do you want to have a sandwich? No. Do you want to work with a coach? No. Okay.Lesley Logan 25:17  Yeah, if you're like one of my listeners, like, I'm so indecisive, and a people pleaser. All right, I'm gonna be really honest, you still know the yes or no, because people pleasing is just like a form of controls. You know, like you do, and you don't outsource that kind of power. But like, there's ways of figuring it out. Okay, so now what are you so excited about? Like, what do you what are you being it till you see it right now? Is there anything that you're you're trying to stretch yourself to do? Is there another evolution you're going through? What's going on right now?Diana Min 25:43  Yeah, I mean, constant evolution, always. I am doing a retreat to Peru in June. So this is my first international retreat. And I'm like, super excited. I've been something I've been wanting to do for a long time. And I've been, you know, kind of doing the local thing. And now we're like, all right, we're going to the motherland. So that's pretty awesome. Yeah, I am with I, I be it until I see that my husband, my soulmate, my... Lesley Logan 26:14  What? Are you're getting married? Diana Min 26:16  Well, he's basically the person I have been manifesting for the past 10 years.Lesley Logan 26:22  That's crazy. That's amazing. Can you tell everyone how that is. Because we have lots of single listeners. So we want notes.Diana Min 26:30  Okay, so I have been writing down this person for so long. And every time I would get into a relationship, I would be like, oh, I miss something, right? Like when you're making a list, right? You're like, oh, I forgot this emotionally aware, right? Like (inaudible) come healed, right? So every time I had a failed relationship, I would refine the list. And would do like add things that I'm like, oh, I forgot to put that in the last one. And so this person found my, my man, found me on an astrology app called The Pattern. Lesley Logan 27:03  It's a dating app for people in astrology or no? it just like you were just on there as a profile? Diana Min 27:07  It's an astrology app that has a dating aspect to it that you have to pay premium for that I did not pay premium for. But I decided to put my profile up there anyway. But because I wasn't going to pay premium, I was never going to see any of the messages, right? So I said, here's my IG since I'm never coming back on this app again. And he I put my profile up there at like 11:30 at night on a lonely Saturday night and he downloaded the app on 11:45 that same night, and he found me on there, swear to God, and we, he found me on IG. He's also walking the medicine path. So he works with, you know, Ayahuasca in like a different capacity with a different group. And we just like, met and realized like, he was manifesting me, I was manifesting him and we showed each other the list. Lesley Logan 27:59  Oh my gosh.Diana Min 28:00  And we were just like, perfect. And we've been together ever since. So the stretching of that is like coming into well, eventual motherhood, right? And us really like growing a family together and doing this work together, which is also something I've manifested for a long time was a partner on the spiritual path, right, to do it together. And to like, raise like a conscious family, things like that. So that's on my list. And then I'm writing a book, I've been called to write a book about, you know, my journey with the medicine and all the healing, holistic healing that I've done because, you know, full transparency when I was in New York, I was at a party at the time that wanted me to get on medication. And I was just kind of like, No, I'm going to holistically heal myself. And I got a lot of resistance and people that really doubted my ability to do that. Right? I did that. So I want to actually share my story so people can know that they have options, and they don't need to get on medication. If that's more harmful. Lesley Logan 29:00  We have an amazing guest who I just had on like, at this point where isn't lined up at all, we interviewed him earlier this year. He literally teaches you how to like he can have people write the book based on the stuff you've already written or you can write it yourself. But like he's basically like a book Papa and like helps you like, make yourself a best best seller because he's been one multiple times, like you, everyone, ever, I believe everyone can write a book and should because you have a story to tell people whether it's your poetry or fiction or nonfiction, but like, the whole entire reason that human race exists to this day is because we have the ability to tell a story. So I think it's really cool. I think you should do it. Yeah. Diana Min 29:39  Thank you. I'm working on it. Lesley Logan 29:41  Oh, I love it so much. All right. We're gonna take a brief break and find out how people can work with you, find you, follow you, go to Peru with you. Lesley Logan 29:48  All right. So Diana, where do you like to hang out? Is it still IG? Do we have to go this astrology app to find you?Diana Min 29:56  I'm off the astrology. I'm off the dating portion of the astrology app, now. I'm off the market. I'm on Instagram @theurbanindigo. I'm on TikTok @theurbanindigo, I'm on YouTube @theurbanindigo, Facebook. And you can also visit my website, theurbanindigo.com, which is currently getting updated. So new, new stuff coming soon. But yeah, I mean, I mostly share a lot of my stuff on Instagram and TikTok. But you can also join my mailing list to just really get first dibs on things like retreats and new offers that I have.Lesley Logan 30:31  I love it. Okay, before I let you go, you enlightened us in so many ways, but bold, executable intrinsic targeted steps people can take to be it until they see it, what do you have for us?Diana Min 30:40  Okay, so I would say find somebody that is already doing what you're doing and stalk them. And see if they offer trainings or see who they were trained by, go look into what their journey was and what they did to get to where they are and start to take those similar steps. Because I actually train a lot of coaches and I actually give them the same steps that I took. I said, Go get Reiki-certified, open up your intuition, start to do work that way, right? Try to organize events, if you want to do spiritual events, like I just give them everything that I've done. And I've had a lot of people have a lot of success just from following my footsteps, right? So go find somebody you admire and start to follow in their footsteps because most likely, they started one step at a time. And sometimes when we're looking at a big picture, or like this big goal, it can be very intimidating. So one foot in front of the other, one foot in front of the other, blinders on and just focus on seeing the step you're in. Yeah,Lesley Logan 31:41  I couldn't agree more, y'all like, some people are like, you know, how did you do what you did? And like, first of all, a lot of things like I'm doing are not what a normal Pilates teacher has done. But how did I get to be where I was in the Pilates world? Well, I just looked at the people I admired and I was like, well, what did they do before that? Okay, let me look at their bio. Okay, let me go over. That's where we're going. You know, so oh, that's really tangible. You guys are, it's actionable. I hope you try it out. Diana, this has been so fun and so enlightening. And I've been like, I've always wanted to ask somebody these questions. So I'm just so grateful that we got to meet. Everyone how are you going to use these tips in your life? Make sure you tag The Urban Indigo, you tag the Be It Pod. You share this with a friend and let us know if you end up using her tips to take it to the next step and being it till you see it. Until next time.Lesley Logan 31:41  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Bio  Michael Tierno embarked on his transformative journey into expanded states in 2016. Initially a staunch rational materialist (physicalist), Tierno's perspective shifted profoundly after his first spiritual journey to Peru, where he experienced the power of ayahuasca. This pivotal moment cracked open his heart and led him to realize the interconnectedness of all life, the importance of living without fear, and the presence of divine energies within. Tierno's work is now dedicated to guiding others through expanded states modalities, leveraging his deep understanding of these practices to support individuals in breaking free from limiting patterns and connecting with their untapped wisdom. Tierno offers a range of services, including guidance in expanded states,Men of Integrity retreats, a multi-modality men's retreat in North America and Heart Sanctuary, an ayahuasca retreat center in Peru's Sacred Valley.  His approach is deeply rooted in the belief that expanded states can facilitate major beneficial impacts on conditions like trauma, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and addictions, by connecting individuals with their divine essence and inducing mystical experiences. Tierno shares insights on authenticity, vulnerability, and the dual paths to enlightenment through his website and personal writings, emphasizing the importance of embracing life's offerings and expanding personal boundaries. He advocates for emotional openness and authenticity as key components of a fulfilled life. According to Tierno, his work is a testament to the transformative power of expanded states and the potential for personal growth and healing they hold. michael@michaeltiernoguide.com Michael's website Sign up for 10% off of Shrink Rap Radio CE credits at the Zur Institute

This episode dives deep with Sara McElroy, a self-proclaimed ex-hustle devotee, to uncover why we cling to toxic jobs and the impact of knowing it's time to quit. We'll discuss practical strategies for preparing for your departure, so you can confidently step away from misery and towards a future aligned with your values. The pandemic has pushed women worldwide to their breaking points, forcing them to re-evaluate their priorities and well-being. While many are embracing the "new normal," a nagging feeling persists: it's time for a change. But how do we transition from the ingrained hustle culture to a path of brave exploration? Sara McElroy Bio: Sara McElroy is a former marketing officer and the Wall Street Journal's poster girl for pandemic career burnout, and a two-time member of the Great Resignation: class of 2021 and 2022. Following a stress-induced shingles diagnosis in early 2021, Sara decided to hit the reset button on her life; she quit her hard-won CMO job and trekked to Peru's Sacred Valley to reset her frayed nervous system. When she returned, she relocated from the buzzy metropolis of Atlanta to the beach in South Florida for a new job and a fresh start. But she once again encountered deeply ingrained cultural issues in her new role, and ultimately, she walked away again. Finding herself in the company of millions of other women who also set unfulfilling jobs ablaze during the Great Resignation, she returned to her journalism roots and began to explore the stories, breaking points, and defining moments that led women to seek greater opportunity mid-pandemic. These conversations became the genesis of Raze to Rise – an organization created to amplify women's voices from the Great Resignation and inspire others to blaze new trails in their own careers.

Hey everybody! Episode 117 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Andrew Camargo. A friend of Andrew's, Jude, recommend I interview Andrew a while back as he lives quite close to me. I am grateful for this recommendation as I really enjoyed sitting down with Andrew and having him share in his life story and work. He has an excellent free webinar series about the call of shamanism that is about 16 hours in length and I was very impressed with the knowledge and depth that Andrew goes into. I would highly recommend it. I feel Andrew is doing great work at bridging many of these shamanic and esoteric, occult, and alchemical traditions. He has a real grasp and depth of knowledge of the history and the broader implications of how these lineages come together and where they are going. We went four hours on this talk which for me is always a sign of a talk with depth. I learned a lot from Andrew and I think you all will as well.

I have been studying Archetypal Shamanism, Entheogenic Spirituality, Alchemy, Jungian Psychology, Modern Mythology and Visionary Art for the past 24 years.I earned my B.A. from Yale University in 2002 studying Literature and Psychoanalysis, when I was introduced to the work of C.G. Jung, and the mysterious Art of Alchemy. In 2009 I earned my M.A. from the Pacifica Graduate Institute studying Jungian Psychology and Mythology. Since 2006 I have participated in and extensively journaled over 700 Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Santo Daime tradition. I now live in the Sacred Valley of Peru with my wife and daughter, where we lead a Santo Daime church and community.Throughout my esoteric studies, I realized that the art of spiritual Alchemy was Western civilization's own version of shamanic initiatory wisdom, and as such, it had something very unique and valuable to offer the modern seeker – provided its arcane symbolic language could be decoded. So I embarked on a sustained effort to decode the magical connection between Esoteric Alchemy and Entheogenic Shamanism, Jungian Psychology, and Modern Mythology...and nothing could have prepared me for what I discovered: A magic key to unlock a vast treasure of "western shamanic" wisdom.”To learn more about or contact Andrew, visit his YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@theschoolofmodernsoulscience/If you enjoy the show, it would be a big help if you could share it with your own audiences via social media or word of mouth.
