In this episode we discuss Somatic Experiencing, a body based method for the healing of trauma, both big and small. It was created by Peter A. Levine, a trauma therapist, who discovered that by reconnecting to our body we can release the emotional baggage that we hold due to traumatic experiences and development issues. We also go into how psychedelics can be a catalyst for reconnecting to our body and becoming a healthier, more lively individual. By transcending the overly analytical mind we are able to begin doing the work that leads to wholeness. We hope you enjoy.

As is always the case, psychedelics are not a toy. Please use them responsibly. We can only speak to our own psychological and spiritual evolution, we cannot speak to yours. If you have mental health issues, please seek a professional. There is no shame in getting help and you will never be judged for your problems. We wish you the best in life and in mental health.
