Ayahuasca Talks

Discussion with Sami Scebba

Sami and I talk about learning through our experiences post Ayahuasca and situations that arise at times (such as covid) to give us the opportunity to create better states of being. We talk about constructs and the flexible nature of reality. Sami talks about connecting with a spiritual presence. He shares a story about seeing a future, very powerful version of himself in a hypnosis journey – the healer within and the fact that becoming that person is the journey he is on. We discuss the responsive nature of these experiences and of reality itself. Themes: acceptance - letting go – surrender – resistance – personal power – value – listening - patience – changing limiting beliefs.

Discussion with Greg Lake of entheoconnect.com

Greg shares how before plant medicines, he struggled with addictions then discovered psilocybin and through this, he began to heal and journey with other medicines including Ayahuasca. He talks about how Bufo and Ayahuasca inspired him to create an online platform called entheoconnect.com for all entheogen explorers to connect and interact safely in an atmosphere that reflects the spirit of the medicines. We talked about the challenges in general after medicine experiences coming into the social fray and how much more difficult it is these days. We talk about responding to the social divisions, conflict and chaos by applying the lessons we learn through medicines and how this is an opportunity for us to start to interact with one another in healthier ways despite our differences. We talk about the wisdom of focusing on and remembering the many more things we have in common – our common goals of health, peace, love, happiness and freedom. Although we might have different ideas as to how to achieve/maintain these states, we look forward to exploring ways to create new opportunities together. We talk about the importance of being and remaining open. It's not only the underlying common gift that Ayahuasca offers us but it may also be the key to achieving all of our common goals even though we may do it in different ways. Greg welcomes assistance with this new online social platform project, which he and his partner plan to launch in March of this year. On this platform, there will be opportunities to participate in scientific studies surrounding medicines/psychedelics and there will be a variety of integration coaches, tools and modalities to explore.

Discussion with Tim Sae Koo of 1Heart Accelerator

Tim and I take stock of this year and its challenges and how we can use many of the things we've learned through Ayahuasca to meet these challenges. We discuss the inspiring possibilities that exist in this time of transition or incubation. We talk about how we're sharing a global experience and how some of the events we're seeing in the world reflect issues we need to work on personally and how we can grow through it. We bring the concept of creating our own reality into the discussion to help us gain perspective and to help us consider how we can use this time to reinvent ourselves in a more authentic, loving and empowering way. Tim brings his years of entrepreneurial experience into the discussion and shares his vision of how we can approach business in a way that serves us all. We talk about regarding this global situation as a massive wake up opportunity. We also discuss the divisions we're seeing as an opportunity for us to work on accepting and respecting everyone's unique reality as well as reminding ourselves of the important underlying universal commonalities and the deep reality of love underlying all of it.

Discussion with Rachael Phillips of AyahuascaMicrodosing.com

Rachael shares how she found Ayahuasca after a shocking discovery and break up of her marriage followed by self-abusive behaviour. Eventually Rachael began to trust her own intuition and decided to participate in Ayahuasca ceremonies during which she felt divine unconditional love. She continued to pursue ceremonies in Peru and Ayahuasca ultimately called her to offer the Ayahuasca vine as a microdosing option. Rachael discusses her integrative journey with this supportive microdosing practice. We discuss the integrative concepts of surrender, being aware of resistance, coming to terms with the love underlying a lot of relationships that may be difficult on the surface and the importance of being aware of victim consciousness. We also talk about the power of intentions and using tools such as microdosing to continue that relationship with Ayahuasca which supports us in our daily lives.

Discussion with Jeremiah Josey of the Thorium Network

Jeremiah shares about his experience with a dark entity who took over his body during ceremony and taught him about how he created the groundwork for allowing darker energies in. Part of the education of this allowing of darker energies to take over involved passively watching darker or violent movies. We discuss this and our role in allowing darker energies into our experience and how to change that. We talk about the empowering nature of moving from passive involvement with these elements to conscious awareness and decisions based on this awareness. I share what Ayahuasca taught me about the relationship we have with darkness ('the beast within'), how it reveals itself and the importance of responding with love. We talk about the power of love and the possibilities that exist on this planet as a result of this powerful resource.

Discussion with Nathaniel Perl of Curious Chimps Podcast

Rebecca Hayden and Nathaniel Perl discuss fear and anger among other topics related to integrating Ayahuasca experiences. We discuss our religious introduction to spirituality and the important questions we had at a young age which were never addressed by our religious community but were ultimately addressed by Ayahuasca. We talk about the openness and innocence of children and how important that is and how we are trying to return to that state with the help of Ayahuasca. Nathaniel shares two key experiences that provide insights on the diversity and variety of spiritual paths as well as the temptation of going into fear versus taking a different path into the unknown that will lead to where we really want to go. The alien discussion comes up again along with more insights around emotions and entities that seem to not be emotional. We also talk about our attachments to pain and unhealthy emotions.

Contact & Dialogues with Alien Entities who Teach & Guide Us

We discuss the integrative experience of ongoing dialogues with entities (spiritual and/or alien) and what that’s been like, the gifts it has brought to our lives and how it has helped us to improve our lives. We discuss the stigma around the notion of aliens, the similarities between the experiences we have with Aya, NDE’s and reports of contact with aliens. This is a big subject we may revisit in future episodes but we do cover the nature of the messages we’re getting from them – the power of letting go and how we can change the impact of our history through hypnosis and how much personal power we have. We talk about how this connection has helped us raise our kids in a more free, empowering – less autocratic way and in doing so we’re helping to lay the groundwork for a more progressive society. Through these stories it becomes apparent that these beings – some of which are mentioned by name – have been helping humanity for a long time and continue to do so. The messages and integrative value is very much aligned to the Ayahuasca type messages, teachings and healings.

Discussion with Nischala Lindsay Johnson of Ever Rising Life Arts

We begin this episode by discussing illness and spirituality and the judgement and guilt related to the idea of illness being a manifestation of various emotional issues and lessons. We talk about how some of the attitudes around this are throwbacks from some disempowering aspects of religious influences from our past. We also explore the opportunities for spiritual growth that illness presents. We discuss shamanic teachings – where we get them from – ourselves, chosen teachers or our guides/higher levels of consciousness/spirit. We talk about the dangers of putting shamans or anyone on pedestals instead of trusting ourselves and taking responsibility for what we participate in. We also revisit the notion of ‘good guy/bad guy’ themes and how this can ultimately affect us in harmful ways. We talk about how the medicines present to us the fact that what we’re really up against is ourselves not others and how challenging this medicine path can be and also how liberating it is. We end on the subject of focus and manifestation – choosing what we focus on to improve our life experience.

Discussion with Liz Collins of Anahata Healing Arts

The prevailing theme throughout this episode is ‘the ceremony of life’ or that life IS the ceremony. Liz and I discuss difficult ceremonies and compare them to difficult times in our lives and how both can be healing even though they may seem overwhelmingly dark or difficult at the time. Liz shared about early childhood trauma and how Ayahuasca responded to this. We talk about how we respond to difficult periods in our lives, including this one as the pandemic and social distancing continues. We discuss the opportunities to heal and grow during this time and about the way we respond to this will impact us both now and in the future. We also discuss the concept of immunity and how this may be applied both on a physical level but also the parallels we see in terms of exposing us to things that are seen as harmful or poisonous (situations in life) that in the end help us to grow and provide us with gifts in the healing arts.
