Micro-dosing and The Sacred Feminine
Manage episode 430759841 series 3458022
Leslie Draffin joins us to share her compelling journey from battling anxiety and depression to discovering the transformative power of sacred earth medicine, particularly mushrooms. Through her story, you'll uncover how working with a coach enabled her to safely navigate this path, leading to a profound sense of interconnectedness and purpose. Leslie shares the magical essence of mushrooms and their potential impact on our mental and spiritual well-being, helping us understand our roles within the cosmic and global community.
We also explore the intersection of menstrual cycles, trauma, and healing with psychedelics. Through Leslie's experiences with sexual shame, a herpes diagnosis, and eating disorders, we discuss how microdosing with psilocybin can reconnect women with their bodies and address deeply rooted trauma. This episode sheds light on the societal challenges women face, such as the commercialization and stigmatization of menstruation, and emphasizes the importance of reclaiming feminine power with authenticity and empowerment.
Finally, we honor our bodies' natural rhythms and discuss the journey of healing trauma through somatic movement. From the pressures of productivity impacting menstrual health to the deep healing of past traumas stored in our bodies, Leslie and I advocate for self-awareness and trusting our physiological messages. Join us as we explore the joys of foraging, the simple pleasures of nature's offerings, and the profound effects of somatic practices like belly dancing and cord-cutting rituals. Enjoy a conversation rich with insights into healing, empowerment, and the wonders of nature.
