“Belonging so fully to yourself that you’re willing to stand alone is a wilderness–an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. The wilderness can often feel unholy because we can’t control it, or what people think about our choice of whether to venture into that vastness or not. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.” – Brené Brown
Accessing the power of non-ordinary states allows us to develop a new understanding of consciousness. This helps us go beyond our own thoughts into life-changing experiences, realizing that vulnerability is the birthplace of trust, belonging, joy, creativity, and love.
Today the world appears to be more and more disconnected, with the cracks between people, races, genders, ethnicities, political beliefs, religions, and philosophies widening. But, when we look deeper, this disconnection in moving people apart is also ironically spawning movements bringing people closer together than ever.
Even when our sense of community clashes with our fear of difference. We are uniting in humanity, joined by our hearts, sharing our experiences, and showing up driven by the desire for a better world.
Deep in my bones, I wanted to be part of something–to experience a real connection with others–but not at the cost of my authenticity, freedom, or power. The Divine guided me here, even when I was full out, ignoring the call.
But I did it.
And I did for a thousand reasons, it is important and needed and evident and necessary and past it is due. But mostly, I did because I learned how to persevere against all the odds through one very related event: my thoughts. When I got courageous, I learned how to do impossible things.
Because that’s what psychedelics do—it teaches you exactly how to do everything else.
Non-ordinary states invite us into not just another dimension of ourselves but into another spectrum of our humanity. Setting the stage, ushering in a way for being divine while also being wholly human.
To embody awareness, wisdom, and unconditional love. A manifesting, game-changing tool for bypassing the limitations of this time, for connecting directly to your eternal energy and your deep-rooted truth.
Learning how to work with the “inner healer” as a compass to guide us into the precise next step, we need in our journey of growth. Exploring the opening to how your body communicates its boundaries is a beautiful connection and the natural state for healing to begin.
In reality, the only true belonging that exists, and the connection that underscores everything else and all other relationships in life, is that powerful sense of belonging to ourselves.
You’ve got this. And I’ve got you! You’re safe here.
with love,
