I’ve been mulling it over and it seems to me to be a prime example of how things can serve you to help you survive, then hold you back when it’s time to thrive.

But it takes time and more than just taking a bit of mushroom. It takes commitment to yourself and your healing and someone to help you find your path.

And Ash isn't the only one. My clients and I also find ourselves 70, 80, 90% back to ourselves through microdosing psilocybin mushrooms. It's almost magic.

I still can't play guitar. I can't lift anything over my head.
There’s a bunch of stuff I can't do. But looking back on where I was in May 2020 it's a much more fabulous place.”

This practice allows the subconscious and unconscious mind to open, allowing you to rewire your nervous system for mental, physical, and emotional benefits.

When I can’t move much,
this is how I still connect.
How I still heal.
How I still listen to what my body needs.

In Yoga Nidra, the body and mind enter a state of deep rest,

What do you think about cannabis as a psychedelic?
