Puerto Rican Cuban from Miami Florida moved to Texas 5 years ago and joined the army at 31. Father to 3 kids and a husband. Into fitness and trying to Inspire the world through my daily life.

My name is James Jimenez. I am 100% Disabled combat veteran received a purple heart for my injuries , during my deployment to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom. On a Midnight op mission into a heavy Taliban fortified area. I was blown up by an RPG, lost consciousness and back. Then I was medevac during combat to Kandahar.

After getting out of the military I did the medical route. I went to every appointment; I saw 10 therapist. They had me like lab rat trying every single medication they that thought would work, If it didn’t then on to the next one. I began to have seizures from all the medications they had me on. Then one day mentally I’ve had enough and was going to take my life. My mental state was horrible, felt like I was being a good dad, a good partner and just a good individual. the war injuries were taking a toll and at the time I felt it would have been the best idea.

But just as I was about to end my life a thought about ayahuasca came into my mind.A way to help not just help veterans heal but anyone who deals with mental heal.

That thought stopped me from ending my life, then I proceeded to do extensive amounts of research. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the funds nor the means to travel to south America. Especially with my mental health issues.

After I did even more research I found it contained DMT. Spent the next 6 months reading everything I could on it to the point I felt comfortable making my own.

The way my mental health state was. I felt I couldn’t waiting any longer for the fear I might take my own life.

I held my own ceremony with the medicine and instantly felt it healing benefits. 5 mins later it was finished, and all my worries, fear and self-destruction seemed more manageable.

4 years later after working with the medicine. I learned almost all world religions, from there I want to learn our ancient history. What helped our ancestors heal, the techniques they used and their knowledge. After that I went far back I could In time in search of ancient wisdom and that’s when I found it. A way toNow I run a Non – profit organizations called Mindfulness Veterans. We provide free healing ceremonies to veterans using the medicine called N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and psilocybin . The medicine its is just 1 part. Teaching them how the medicine works, how to take the medicine properly, dosage amounts, what to expect, set and setting, music, exercise, breath work, mindfulness, , ritual, gut health, proper eating. How these medicines effect your neurotransmitters, neuro connectivity, neuro processing and to incorporate the medicines into your day to day life.

Writing a book to put all this information in there and offer it to veterans.
