I'm excited to share with all of you by far the most personal piece of writing I've ever shared publicly. It's an account of my ibogaine journey at Beond Ibogaine Treatment to treat childhood trauma and the unhealthy life patterns that the trauma set in motion. I'm sharing this piece in the hope that it will encourage people to see the vastness of ibogaine's healing potential, which in my view, extends far beyond Opioid Use Disorder, PTSD, and TBI.
Infinite gratitude to Talia Eisenberg, MBA, Tom Feegel, and their magical team at Beond. They truly are doing the work of saints. Thank you to Lucid News, Inc. for publishing this piece.

You deserve love and connection too.
Unfortunately for us, we’re not always as cute as cats when we have a breakdown and need support 😂
I think that’s the funny thing about hitting our breaking point – we don’t like ourselves very much when we’re there.
That’s why I like to think of our animals or children as teachers. We look at these beings with unconditional love and show up for them despite the fact that they’ve puked up another hairball or threw a tantrum at the store.
We give our love away so easily, but we don’t always give it to ourselves in quite the same way.
And, it’s not always easy to know HOW to give ourselves love.
That’s one thing I love about #somatichealing. you can actually feel the results right away. You can feel the self care taking action in the now.
The simple act of putting your own hands on your body can change how you handle the very next moment.
Give it a try: cross your arms and grab a hold of the tops of your shoulders. Let your arms fall heavy as you feel the weight of your hands on your shoulders. Feel your neck release its grip. Let your hands slide down your arms to your elbows. give yourself a little hug.
Notice how you feel. Maybe you’re even purring 😻
There are so many somatic tools that we can use in any situation to calm our nervous systems and be present for more love and connection in our lives.
Learning your own body and creating an arsenal of tools is just one of the many benefits of somatic therapy. Putting it to practice for the rest of your life is the true gift.
Ignite Your Joy - Day 2
Today we explore our feet and all the emotions that can get trapped here.
According to Louise Hay the feet represent our understanding - of ourselves, of life, of others.
The amazing visual you see in the video from foot zone centre shows you what emotions can get stuck based on reflexology. This might help you connect some dots once your touch your feet and notice if you have tension or soreness in a particular area.
According to TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) there are a few meridians that start or end in the feet. In this reel, I talk about some kidney points. Kidneys are related to fear and can manifest as chronic fear or anxiety when your qi is out of balance. This can result in feeling fearful, weak willpower, insecure or isolated.
By moving the tissues with your hands or whatever tool you want can be a fabulous way for you to shift the frequency of your tissues which in turn can help you release trapped emotions.
In addition, using affirmations or showing your feet love however they may look for you is a truly beautiful way for you to support your body’s healing process.

Dear network,
I am just coming out of the collective trauma facilitator training with Thomas Hübl, PhD which was a deep, intense and healing experience. This time we connected to our ancestors, sensing into their trauma and the collective trauma at that time like the 2nd world war as well as their resources that we inherited from them. My ancestors are living in me, in my physical substance and I realised again how much healing as well as powerful resources are available to me through sensing how they live in my body.
If you are already doing personal development work, I can only recommend to include this dimension of inner work and letting your ancestors become a vivid part of your life.
If you feel interested, there is a special workshop offered by two experienced facilitators, Gregor Steinmaurer and Komala Amorim that I can really recommend: „The right to Be“ from Sept, 6-8th in Vienna, Austria.
They bring together Gregor‘s deep immersion in systemic constellations, the mystical principles from the transmission of Thomas Hübl, and Komala‘s deepened understanding of rituals and grounded wisdom from indigenous studies and shamanic work with systemic rituals.
The format is both very open, emergent and structured at the same time.
In the workshop every participant will go through their ancestry, engage in collective rituals to meet, clear, reconnect and heal aspects of their own lineage.
This means to open to resources you might have never known about, reconnect with blocked powers, and heal severed bonds. It also means to place yourself again within the larger network of ancestors and the whole web of this magnificent life.
But besides this individual work, one of the most touching aspects is that after a very short time, everybody becomes aware in an embodied sense, that when we work through our individual lineages and stories, we very much also work through the One story and One lineage. That of our shared humanity!

We all fall victim to feelings and emotions we'd rather not feel, repress or deny. No one is exempt. We are what we feel, not what we think or believe. In a world where we are indoctrinated to suppress and move away from awkward feelings, healing is impossible.
A global pandemic of anxiety and depression only sees a rise with obscene amounts of medication being taken as normal, seems sad. If only a healthy diet and conscious mindful practices would replace it... One can heal by feeling deeply, not by an escape act. By understanding and self compassion.
No pill can heal your heart or insecurities. Only self love can. However, this seems not very scientific as you're suppose to fit into a mental health category for 'mental health professionals', to know what to do. Because there seems to be something wrong with you because you deviate from some 'norm'.
If your health professional is not radiant, healthy and happy, keep 'swiping'. Everyone is lost. No one knows. But the key lies in the subconscious. It runs the show. It has a [false] belief system; That you're not good enough for some [....] reason. Leaving a hole in your heart, no doctor can fix. You cannot outsource your healing power.
Stress or happy hormones or neurotransmitters determine your feelings, subconsciously. Reprogramming requires feeling deeply and going to those feelings in a state of surrender. In a safe controlled "set & setting", in an altered state of consciousness. #Psilocybin truffles provide a safe and legal way to gain a higher state of consciousness to visit your own convictions, assumptions, memories, people, values, ideas and concepts. To see them through different emotional 'lenses'. To learn and gain more emotional 'data' and Psychedelic Insights for better subconscious conclusions.
It changes your neurology to escape your neural pathways; Escaping the inner critic, perfectionism, insecurities and anxieties or depressive thoughts.
We've served almost 1500 international clients, literally from all over the world, in high dose psilocybin experiences. In private, guided one day sessions.
If you would like to freely and openly ask me any questions, or have me explain how we work, please feel invited to do so. Happy to have us schedule a private call to have all questions answered.
We've conducted our own research with our natural truffles that have an EU food-safety certification. Here is a documentary, outlining participants responses to their first session and the research data explained.

"From the Ground Up: #Yoga and the Bottom-Up Approach to Trauma Recovery"
Imagine a well-worn, ancient tree. Its roots run deep, hidden beneath the surface, while its branches reach high into the sky. Now, picture this tree struggling in a storm—its branches might sway, but it’s the strength of its roots that truly keeps it standing.
In trauma recovery, this metaphor is more than just a poetic image; it's a representation of the "bottom-up" approach. Just as the tree’s survival depends on its roots, trauma healing often starts with addressing the body’s sensations and reactions before we can fully understand and process the trauma itself.
Bessel van der Kolk, a leading figure in trauma research, emphasizes this concept through his endorsement of #yoga as a therapeutic tool. He argues that trauma impacts the body as much as the mind, and thus, healing must begin with the body's physical experiences.
#Yoga, with its focus on breath, body awareness, and mindful movement, serves as a powerful method to ground and reconnect individuals to their bodies, ultimately fostering a deeper and more effective healing process.

We live in a world full of polarizing opinions, but I’ve never heard anyone say a sunset is ugly. We spend all our attention in our individual bubbles of reality, but it seems to me that beholding Nature is the one capital R Reality. She is the backdrop of universal Truth available to tap into at any moment, but we go on believing our lies of separateness.
Beholding Nature helps us zoom out, gain perspective, and gain calm. She lowers our stress and resets our nervous systems. Even looking at an art rendering of Nature does this. She is Medicine. She is the never-failing Love that sustains us all each day.
Time outside in Nature daily since October 2019 has without a doubt changed my mental, physical, and spiritual health more than any other thing (including therapy, coaching, impeccable nutrition, EFT, yoga, so many other things, even psychedelics.)
Look up. Not just with your phone to take a picture.
What could happen if we all behold Her again?
