It's always great to be back and check in with another conversation. Today Allan joins us, and he's got a story to tell. I pray you all listen to this with an open mind.
Allan's taking us for a ride, sharing his first hand experience with Ayahuasca. He's sat through hundreds of ceremonies in Peru with lineage Shipibo shamans, and experienced his own healing process from Dissociative Disorder. Allan's upbringing was far from ideal. Alcoholic parents. His mother in and out of mental institutions. And when Allan was in 1st grade, his brother was killed in a farming accident. Devastating him.
A chaotic childhood, losing his brother, Allan found himself very young battling his own addictions. A teenager, drinking heavy, using drugs, and struggling with inner turmoil, and trauma. It was at the age of 29 that he decided it was time to get sober. Not long after his sobriety, he realized quitting the drugs and alcohol wasn't enough - "what about the emotional hangover?"
Dissatisfied with working for the Canadian government as a journalist, and in media, he left a good pension to start his own business. Which was pretty successful. But throughout the years, he had an obsession with the human condition -"what drives humanity?" A characteristic he later learned is very common among people with Dissociative Disorder. And this brings us to Ayahuasca, and Allan's very own experience with her healing touch. Allan does a great job with sharing his knowledge with his, here's a few of things discussed :
- The spiritual aspects, medicinal usage and intelligence of the plant
- The purpose of a shaman or facilitator during an Ayahuasca ceremony
- How did the Amazonians, with over 40,000 plus plants in the jungle, not only discover Ayahuasca, but learn how to prepare and brew it?
- For what purpose did the tribes in the South American Amazons use Ayahuasca?
- How safe is it?
- Its use for trauma (including generational) and addiction recovery around the world
plus a whole lot more. I'm happy to welcome another GIANTS AMONGST US.
Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!
