Integration Guide

Mind Body Soul Congruence

People turn to sacred medicines for many reasons, but often it is because they seek relief from pain and suffering. But the visionary plants do not erase trauma. They help to heal you by revealing hidden aspects of yourself that you need to understand and integrate. The danger of these experiences is that, by exposing our deepest wounds, they can cause more trauma. The work of shedding limiting beliefs and conditioning requires a deep commitment to cultivating new pathways of self-love and self-knowledge. Sometimes a guide is required to help in the process, which involves turning toward the pain, facing the fear, feeling all of it, and letting it go. Also, we must realize that the most important work comes after the ceremony and the visions, which can require skillful integration.

Through my work supporting people in the aftermath of their ceremonies, I discovered many are suffering from addictions that can be enhanced in the wake of a ceremony held without proper integration afterwards. Another rampant problem in the growing medicine community is “spiritual bypassing,” where people actually learns how to use the psychedelic experience to hide suppressed material under the rug. I believe the process of facing your fears, sitting in your pain and suffering, allows you to transcend your suffering and embody divinity.

Plants do not erase trauma but only illuminate the darker aspects of the soul's journey. When we undergo the arduous task of finding the darkness within us and integrating it with the light, self-healing occurs. I am available to help you alchemize through the dark matter of your soul’s evolution.
