I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING FAIRLY TABOO…

It feels vulnerable and scary, but I pulled my cards today… I drummed my heartbeat, music filled my soul and I danced and I am being told… I must share this.

This post may piss some of you off. This post may have you think differently of me. This post may mean you love me even more… But It’s time to share my thoughts about…

CANNABIS
aka: pot, marijuana…

I used to have a strong relationship with cannabis… in college and my first year in Australia. Back then… I used it to escape. I was miserable, depressed, confused, uncertain of life, absolutely HATED myself and didn’t think I was worthy of being on this planet, certainly wasn’t going to leave a positive impact on it… I was useless and at some point suicidal. (YES… I was like this for years).

When I moved to Australia I was there to study integrated body therapies, which led me on the path to myself. It started in the physical form and energetics, moved to NLP and the mental aspect and then eventually down a deeply spiritual path into my soul.

Thank goodness for NLP where I found that I am worthy of life and living a beautiful life of whatever i chose it to be… At that point… I truly began to choose life, to choose to create my dreams and that i was worthy of whatever I (emphasis on the I) wanted in my life.

It’s been a LONG journey to get to the point I’m at today in which I KNOW in every cell of my body I am worthy of my wildest dreams and I get to dream them into reality.

I hadn’t smoked pot in bout 13 years before moving back to the US. And especially… back to Colorado, where cannabis is legal and is EVERYWHERE.

I mean every other corner, you can buy it… and in the air the smell of it lingers, every where you go.

I always thought pot should be legal. I could never figure out why it’s not. It’s way less harmful to society than alcohol. And.. people are doing it all over the place whether it’s legal or not so the government might as well make money on it in taxes. So, I am glad to finally see this movement happening.

I love that people are finally starting to loosen their negative grips on this plant and see the gorgeous benefits of it.

It’s a cultural shift happening and I am truly enjoying being in a state (Colorado) that is at the forefront of this.

I believe that, like anything, if you abuse this plant… it can have many negative side effects, for sure. The same can be said about chocolate and alcohol. Everything in moderation.

I also am learning so much about the medicinal benefits of it… how much it’s helping people with depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, cancer, chronic pain and so much more.

I mean… why take a chemical compound for a drug to help with these problems and so much more, when you can have plant medicine, straight from nature?

Honestly… the legalisation of cannabis has created a culture that fascinates me. And has made it less taboo HERE, In colorado.

At the moment, we aren’t allowed to have cafes here, but I wonder when that will happen and how that will change the eco-system of this whole city/state.

The thing that is super cool about it here is there is nothing to hide. Nothing to be ashamed of, because.. it’s legal.

And something I have started doing… is smoking at certain times to go within… to remove the vail between my mind and soul… to have a heightened state of awareness… a greater connection to source and self…

I love it.

It feels amazing and everything that’s crazy in my life just makes sense.

I love smoking with friends and LAUGHING so hard it hurts our bellies and faces.

I love how sensual and sexual I feel…

There is so much deliciousness about it.

I want to say here… I also love journeying within, doing shamanic work and going to different dimensions, laughing with friends and being sensual and sexual WITHOUT it too. Everything has it’s time and place.

I’m not saying this to tell you that it’s something you “should” do. I’m not saying this to ask for your opinion. I’m not saying this to prove a point… just to be open and honest and stand fully in my truth…

If you believe I am a terrible person for this… unfriend me now. Don’t even leave a note in the comments. We are not aligned and that’s ok. I send you off with love and know we are both able to have our own opinions and live our lives in alignment with our soul.

If you are even more aligned with me now that you know this… then awesome… tell me by leaving a message in the comments. (And if you are in Denver and want to play… let me know that too. 

Maybe you don’t even want to partake in this plant medicine but you accept it for being the gorgeous medicine that is … give me an “aho!”

Or… if you are someone who has been negatively effected by this plant because yourself or someone in your family has abused this medicine and this makes you curious to understand the upside to the plant, when used in moderation and with intention… then let me know that too in the comments below…

I decided at the beginning of the year to dive into plant and animal medicine. It’s in my circles here in Colorado and even in Australia… people exploring their souls in a deeper level with the medicine of the earth in it’s most potent form… from the plant itself. In it’s fullest medicine… as mother nature intended it to be.

This is one piece of it for me.

I sat with the Frog (Kambo) earlier this year and I’m being called towards it again…(BTW- looking for an amazing practitioner in Denver/Boulder if you know of any.)

I am planning to dance with other medicines this year… and allowing the universe to bring me the medicine however it’s meant to be.

I never had interest in many of the other plants that are showing up for me, until now.

Until I started using them in ceremony, with intention, to connect deeper into my soul. And for me… it’s so f#cking powerful… and it takes me to places I just have not been able to tap into without them.

Kambo truly rocked my world. It was some of the most powerful medicine I have ever experienced… so cleansing on so many levels.

I am loving this exploration into my soul… into the power of these medicines…

And… I just want to be totally bare and vulnerable and share this piece of me with you. OK… or maybe I was simply guided to and I always say yes to what my soul, what spirit asks me to do… even when… especially when… it feels scary.

I love you all… I see you… I feel you… and I think you are AMAZING!

I KNOW that everything is possible… every single one of your dreams can become your reality if you listen and ACT upon what your inner guidance, your soul, spirit asks you to do.

Be willing to get vulnerable and live your life in COMPLETE ALIGNMENT, even if it may piss other people off. This is your life. Live it for you. Listen to your soul and create your dreams. From the space of absolute and complete alignment your dreams are not a matter of if… but when will they happen.

Are you ready to listen to the call of your soul? Are you ready to fall in and do what you are asked, even if it doesn’t make sense… even if it goes against what society says is “ok” or not?

If you are… you now where I am. Ready and waiting for the perfectly aligned soul-mate clients to appear. If this is you… PM or comment below and you and I will take your life to a whole new level of joy, bliss and LOVE. AND NO… you never have to touch cannabis, ever, to create incredible results. This is my journey… working with plants is my journey… it doesn’t make it yours.

Many people are not ready for this journey of plant and animal medicine. And that’s ok. You don’t have to. I have been making dreams happen my whole life and in my client’s lives, whether or not I have any kind of plant or animal medicine in my world. As a matter of fact, I don’t think any of my clients currently partake in this and they get AMAZING results.

Ok… this feels complete. Scary to write. Scary to post. I am asking that daggers don’t get thrown and that love reigns down on me in this post. Please… share your love in the comments below. Let’s all love on natural plant medicine, for what it is.

***Added in piece:

I want to be super clear about something here… When I speak of plant medicine… I mean it as medicine. It is sacred and as such, should be treated that way.

Laying around on a couch all day long, too high to even move, eating and zoned out watching tv and doing NOTHING… is NOT medicine. It’s escape.

And this is why cannabis has such a bad name for itself. So many people imagine it like this or have had this experience with self or others close to them.

When I speak of other plant medicines… people abuse that too… using it for psychadelics, to escape but not as medicine… not as a guided journey into the soul.

Plant medicine is SACRED. It is to be used to journey… as the shamans who discovered many of them do…

So… if reading this… you have the impression of it ruining lives… which YES… IT CAN DO. ABSOLUTELY…

This is not how I’m speaking of this MEDICINE. A plant that can help to remove the veil between your mind and your soul so that the truth is right at your finger tips… A plant that can help people feel AMAZING after years of anxiety, depression, etc… This is what I am speaking of.

There are even people in Colorado who will teach you how to use it as MEDICINE… It’s a whole new world… seriously.

SO I ask you to open your mind to look beyond the framework in which you probably know it… and see it as MEDICINE… NOT destruction.
