My boy Quddus has become one of the big inspirations in my life since I met him. We both come from similar upbringings that have shaped the way we see the world. He and I both have gone through an intense leadership training that have helped shape the way we now see the world in greater possibility. One of those things is the power of vulnerability in creating connections with people we encounter, and our every day relationships. He recently did his own training on that subject which was powerful.

In this transformative episode, we dive deep into the healing power of music in psychedelic journeys with renowned musician and sound healer East Forest. For centuries, music has been a key component in spiritual rituals and ceremonies, serving as a guide to unlock deeper emotional, mental, and even mystical experiences. But when it comes to psychedelic therapy, the role of music becomes even more profound. East Forest, known for his meditative and therapeutic soundscapes, shares his insights on how music can shape, support, and enhance the psychedelic experience. Drawing from his years of experience working with plant medicine ceremonies, he explains how the right frequencies and melodies can help individuals navigate the unpredictable nature of altered states of consciousness. His work, which blends ethereal soundscapes, binaural beats, and indigenous-inspired rhythms, offers a grounding yet expansive soundtrack that can be both a refuge and a mirror during challenging moments of a psychedelic journey. During the conversation, we explore how music can deepen emotional processing, open pathways to hidden memories, and facilitate states of surrender, allowing individuals to let go of their ego-driven defenses. Music, East Forest explains, acts as a bridge between the conscious mind and the deeper realms of the psyche, helping participants access insights and healing that might otherwise be inaccessible. The discussion delves into the importance of intentionality when choosing music for psychedelic therapy and how certain tones and instruments resonate with specific chakras, influencing energy flow and emotional release. East Forest also touches on the psychological and neurological impact of music in these expanded states of awareness. The role of rhythm, harmony, and silence are discussed as essential tools for guiding the psychedelic process. The importance of ceremonial intention and presence, along with the power of surrender to the flow of sound, are highlighted as keys to fully benefiting from the experience. Listeners will gain a better understanding of how carefully curated music can act as a guide, amplifying the therapeutic potential of a psychedelic journey. East Forest offers personal stories from his own experiences and collaborations with others in the field, discussing the mystical and scientific aspects of sound healing. Whether you’re a seasoned psychonaut, a curious explorer, or someone interested in the intersection of sound therapy and psychedelics, this episode will inspire a deeper appreciation for the role of music in healing. Tune in as East Forest shares his wisdom on the alchemy of sound and psychedelics, offering a fresh perspective on how music can lead us into altered states of consciousness, self-discovery, and emotional healing. Join us for a mesmerizing journey through sound, where music becomes not just background noise but an active, transformative force in your psychedelic experience.

Family Reunion 7

In this episode, I share my transformative experience of undergoing a second dieta with Noya Rao in Peru. Many people are familiar with the profound effects of their first experience with plant medicine, but I found that the second dieta took me to an entirely new level of understanding and integration.

I begin by explaining what Noya Rao is—a rare tree whose sap is used as a powerful medicine, often referred to as the "Tree of Light." This medicine is deeply revered and is said to be the great-grandmother of Ayahuasca. My first experience with Noya Rao was intense, as it dismantled my ego and identity, leading to significant personal breakthroughs.
This year, I approached the second dieta with a sense of reverence and curiosity about how it would build upon my previous experience. The ceremonies were structured around taking the Tree of Light sap alongside Ayahuasca, and I quickly learned that surrendering to the medicine is crucial for navigating its powerful effects.

Throughout the ceremonies, I experienced a range of emotions and physical sensations, from purging to deep energetic shifts. I discovered new ways to interact with the medicine, utilizing my voice and sound to facilitate healing and energy movement within my body. The shamans' ikoros, or songs, played a significant role in enhancing the experience, allowing the medicine to work beyond the confines of language and thought.

As I reflect on the differences between my first and second experiences, I recognize that this time felt more like a partnership with the medicine, allowing for a deeper integration of its teachings. The post-dieta period is now underway, and I am committed to honoring the medicine's integration process, which requires a strict diet and lifestyle changes.
Overall, this second retreat has been a profound journey of growth, healing, and activation of a new frequency in my life. I invite listeners to share their own experiences with Noya Rao or other plant medicines, as each journey is unique and deeply personal. Thank you for joining me, and I look forward to sharing more insights in future episodes.
