Selflessly Selfish: Balancing Service with Self-Care

Many of my clients and Awakening Plus members express a sincere desire to help others or to serve the great global awakening. However, some have their hands full just dealing with their own healing and awakening! In this eight-minute episode, learn how focusing on your own healing and awakening is an essential first step if you want to help others most effectively. Even if you've been serving others for years, there may still be times when you need to circle the wagons and focus mostly or entirely on your own internal work. NOTE: New Irregular Release Schedule. I've been doing episodes twice a month, but for the time being I'm shifting to an irregular schedule. I have an unusually high number of new demands on my time, so I can't predict the timing of future episodes. But as long as you stay subscribed, you'll see them when they release.

Psychedelics' Scientifically Proven Benefits w/ Sheryl Attig, Ph.D.

In our previous episode, we explored the scientifically documented benefits of ayahuasca in a deep-dive interview with Sheryl Attig, Ph.D. I recommend taking in that episode before you experience this one. This is Part Two of our discussion. Here, Sheryl expands beyond ayahuasca to include the benefits of LSD, psychedelic mushrooms, and more. As I noted last time, Sheryl is an expert on the benefits and dangers of ayahuasca and other psychedelics. She even serves as an expert witness in psychedelic-related legal matters. I love how Sheryl's eloquence and keen intellect make all this easy to understand. I also appreciate that her years of personal experience with psychedelics give her an insider's perspective.

Ayahuasca's Scientifically Proven Benefits with Sheryl Attig, Ph.D.

Ayahuasca, more than anything else, has helped me continuously turbocharge my healing, awakening, and ever-increasing service capacity. But does objective scientific research show similar benefits for others? In this 43-minute episode, I explore this question with Sheryl Attig, Ph.D. She's an expert on the benefits and dangers of ayahuasca and other psychedelics. She even serves as an expert witness in psychedelic-related legal matters. I love how Sheryl's eloquence and keen intellect make all this easy to understand. I also appreciate that her years of personal experience with psychedelics give her an insider's perspective. This is the first of two episodes featuring Sheryl. In this one, we focus on the scientifically documented benefits and dangers of ayahuasca. Next time, we'll expand our discussion to include LSD and magic mushrooms.
