Ayahuasca: A Spiritual Awakening

"Ayahuasca remains a fringe psychological medicine, but it's slowly working its way into the mainstream. Until fairly recently, you had to travel to South America to experiment with the plant, but now ayahuasca ceremonies are popping up in the United States and Europe. Ayahuasca exposes the gap between whom you think you are and who you are. In my case, the gap was immense, and the pain of seeing it for the first time was practically unbearable". In this episode, I will educate you about Ayahausca. Please stay tuned. Ten signs of a Spiritual Awakening. 1. You start to see the world in a different light — a shift from external to internal. 2. You begin to prioritize and question what gives you joy and purpose. 3. It is actively seeking to replace that which no longer serves you with something that does. Habits, toxic relationships, or work that only helps to pay bills. 4. The feeling of humility and gratitude for what you are shown in a ceremony and learning to live and see we are all in the same boat….compassion. 5. Seeking external help, the gathering of resources to facilitate understanding. This is not only just reading or educating yourself about others' spiritual path…but also allowing the receptivity of your mind to engage in energies that seek to feed your inner world. 6. Realization of the connectivity of all life and how it feeds you. Contemplating your relationship with nature, with the Earth and its spirits. Plant medicines like Ayahuasca and San Pedro magnify and emphasize the feeling of a synergetic connection and responsibility to the Pachamama. 7. Beginning to move through life not by trying to think your way to a new place but by simply accepting anything, being aware of the opportunities that place themselves in front as the process of active path selection. Ayahuasca can mystically provide one with different clarity of vision to path selection after a ceremony for some time... Follow the rabbit of the matrix. 8. Taking responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions and beginning to repair and develop how you receive and express yourself actively. This part requires personal effort and spiritual, reflective skills. It needs something from you other than just drinking a cup of Ayahuasca and sitting back. Through active engagement and attention, plant medicines provide the sense and meaning of your life story and where it wants to take you. 9. In a spiritual rebirth, you forgive yourself for all your past shortcomings and those involved in your stories: parents, lovers….everyone. 10. Learning to recognize and follow energies that feed you instead of chasing points that consume you is a significant opening in this path of spiritual discernment. It magnifies your feeling of life and self and gives you a glow.Resources Sticks, Stones, and Roots Podcast: Website: https://sticksstonesandroots.com/ Facebook: Facebook YouTube: YouTube

The Child Self

"The ego holds many of our problems in the world. You find yourself having to prove things to other people for validation. When you do actual soul work, you no longer need the proof of others because you operate under a different set of laws. These are ancient laws that are forgotten by many and known by few." Whether or not you believe in spirituality in all aspects, such as angels, the ancestors, those who have moved on…I am not here to debate you.

The point is that we all need to become better versions of ourselves. So, how can we do this? In this episode, I will educate you about the child self and how to recover them. Please stay tuned.
