Episode 118: How Psychedelics Can Influence Our Ability To Lead Our Lives (feat. Jacob Metzger)
07/07/23 • 59 min
If you’re like me, you became interested in the topic of psychedelic medicines due to an ever burning curiosity to innerstand the “bigger picture” happening within this experience we call life. For me, following this curiosity has allowed me to become much more aware, however, like you may have heard of before, awareness is simply the first step, yet not the full picture. Being able to truly embody the awareness you gain from these experiences through integration is a whole other topic & when I meet individuals such as todays guest who so clearly have been able to move through this embodiment process aforementioned, I take great honor in sharing them with each of you as my goal is to always leave you all with practical, real world examples of what these sometimes “far out” & more qualitative aspects to life can bring forth in our lives. Along with being a proponent behind the conscious, responsible utilization of psychedelic medicines in his life, he is a devoted family man, incredible coach, where he helps to bring consciousness & deep truths to leaders & someone who lights up the hearts of those he holds dear in his life & in todays episode, you will be getting an inside look at the inner workings of his perspectives of life, his current lifestyle & much, much more.

Episode 117: Neurofeedback, Brain Waves & Their Relation To The Psychedelic Space (feat. Anthony Flores)
One aspect within this show that I speak of frequently is the idea of experiencing life itself as a psychedelic. For me, this has always been the goal as I have come to recognize that what I originally loved about psychedelic medicines was their ability to open me up to new perspectives, however, my biggest challenge in my younger years was coming back to “reality” & wishing I could experience that type of magic more frequently. As such, my entire life over the past 10 years has been focused on achieving this goal & in todays episode, we are going to be chatting with an individual who has taken this idea to the absolute max in his life. From undergoing multiple intense neurofeedback sessions designed to help him train his brain waves just like zen monks do to be able to access the mystical states associated with them whenever he chooses to diving into many different forms of inner work designed to help him become more heart centered, it is safe to say that, for him, life has truly become the psychedelic & my hope for each of you today during our chat is that you are also able to realize that this is possible & that you pick up some new tips & strategies for achieving this goal in your own life.Show Notes:
