Episode 133: Connecting With Cannabis To Shift Stories & Remove Trauma From The Body (feat. Farron Feiner)

One thing I speak about often & for very good reason is the concept of integration within the plant medicine space. Integration, as I see it is really the process of turning our states into traits & one of the main things that can block us in this process of transmutation is the idea of the ego’s stories surrounding who we are & our experience of life as a whole. Today's guest on the show is a woman who has made it her mission in life to illuminate these ego stories for her clients that limit their personal & professional development so that they may rise to the occasion of their important mission & ultimately become the best versions of themselves. She is a Creative Coach & is the co-host of the “Let’s Go From Here” podcast, which I was a guest on recently & had SO much fun & in this episode, we will be diving into her journey with psychedelic medicines, what her experiences have opened up for her in her life & much, much more. Show Notes:(01:08) Farren’s Bio.(02:35) How Farren first got into psychedelics.(07:44) Deeper experiences with plant medicines.(27:58) Where people are stuck.(01:00:08) Where you can connect with Farren!About FarronFarron is a Certified Coach, Podcaster, and Weaving Wonderista based in Los Angeles, CA.

Episode 132: Time Traveling With The Help Of Psychedelic Medicines (feat. Yogi Zorananda)

I began this show in 2021 to discuss the experiences others were having within the realm of psychedelics in order to illuminate for those seekers curious about this realm the many possibilities that exist within it. During the time I have been running the show, I have had the opportunity to hear some truly incredible stories, however, I feel today's episode is one of the best examples of the wild & supernatural occurrences that are possible for all of us within this realm. Today's guest on the show is someone who is dedicated to exploring the many mysteries in life & in doing so, has dedicated himself to the ancient practice of Akhanda yoga not only in his own life but also in how he serves others & has also used his life experiences to create his podcast, the Yoga Connection podcast & also write his book, the Future Life Progression book. In today's episode, we will be diving into the idea of time travel through psilocybin, his thoughts on complimentary practices to assist in experiencing deeper levels of transcendentalism within the psychedelic space & much, much more.

Episode 131: Overcoming Addiction, Kambo & Remineralizing The Body For Integration (feat. Matt Coffman)

I feel for many of us, we may not originally find the realm of psychedelic medicines consciously for healing, yet I do feel all of us move towards this realm out of curiosity surrounding what is possible for us in our lives with regards to healing, expansion, etc. Today's guest on the show is a man who has gone through his fair share of challenges pertaining to life itself & with the help of psychedelic medicines, has been able to beat past addictions & truly rise to the occasion to become the best version of himself. In this episode, we discuss his finding psychedelic medicines & the amount they assisted him in successfully navigating addiction, including micro-dosing LSD to mitigate alcohol addiction, finding kambo that, although not a psychedelic, also helped him rid his body of much of the toxic load he had taken on & also how his remineralization protocol has been paramount in allowing these changes to hold steadfast in his life.

Episode 130: The Magic Of Microdosing (feat. Jeremy Abramson)

One thing I believe we all truly seek at our core is the ability to feel whole. This being said, the lack of feeling whole is arguably one of the biggest challenges in modern-day society. We have 1000’s of “friends” on social media, more distractions & shiny lights than ever & yet this problem has only gotten worse as we’ve continued to stray away from the true nature of our being in place of what we have been programmed to believe will lead to true fulfillment & wholeness. For me, I don’t know if there is “one” solution to this multi-faceted issue, but one thing I know is that by reconnecting to the natural world, we can set in motion a chain of events that will begin to allow us to remember who & what we truly are &, in my opinion, one of the most effective & practical tools to deepen our connection to nature is the idea of microdosing psilocybin. Microdosing, as opposed to macrodosing, allows us to experience the magic of medicines such as psilocybin without having to have deep experiences that for many, are not desired. Today's guest on the show is a man who knows the power & potency of microdosing routines in one’s life, as he has experienced this magic firsthand not only in his own life but also in the lives of numerous clients within his 1:1 mentorship work & his “Microdosing Mastermind.” Within the mastermind specifically, his mission is to empower his clients to take full ownership of their habits, health, healing & happiness by equipping them with the tools to do so & the necessary support to achieve any & all goals they create for themselves. Be prepared to have your mind expanded to new horizons surrounding what is possible in the realm of microdosing & beyond as I welcome my man Jeremy Abramson to the show! Show Notes:(1:47) Jeremy’s Bio.(04:21) How did Jeremy first get into psychedelics?(13:49) What’s the most profound download Jeremy has gotten from his experiences? (18:08) A story from Jeremy’s Mastermind.(27:30) A quick quote that Ryan loves!(53:20) Where you can connect with Jeremy!(56:03) How to reach Jeremy!(57:07) One final question…About JeremyJeremy Seth Abramson is a world-renowned speaker, podcast host, coach, and founder of the Microdosing Mastermind.Connect with JeremyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremy.awakens/Website: https://microdosingmastermind.com/Check us out at Highlyoptimzed.meThank you to Freedom Builderz for Making this Podcast Possible!Building online platforms for visionaries & influencers.https://www.freedombuilderz.com/For the best Cannabis Products and Gear check out Headshop.com and use promo code HIGHLY for discounts!  This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.Subscribe to The Highly Optimized PodcastSubscribe to This One Time on Psychedelics Podcasthttps://www.highlyoptimized.com @therealryansprague

Episode 129: Breathwork, Psychedelics & Escaping The Matrix (feat: Ryan Anderson)

Okay guys, today's guest on the show is someone I met through a mutual friend of ours & when we immediately hit it off, I knew I wanted to have him on the show & the best part was that he actually flew up to Boston to do this episode live in person. Within this episode, we cover a LOT of ground when it comes to psychedelics, his experiences with them, his affinity for breathwork & being a breathwork facilitator & much, much more. Make sure you strap in & put your curiosity caps on for this episode as we dive deep as I welcome my man Ryan Anderson to the show!Show Notes:(0:42) Ryan’ Bio.(02:07) How did Ryan first get into psychedelics?(09:04) Big reason why Ryan started this show…(14:02) You don’t have to go to the jungle to be healthy!(18:56) What Ryan has seen in the industry. (23:42) How to empower yourself.  (36:35) Evil and discernment…  (46:28) Deep foundational practices are key.(01:05:55) Where you can find Ryan!(01:06:33) One final question…About RyanRyan has been a firefighter paramedic since 2005 and has seen firsthand the mental health crisis we are in and the effects that stress and trauma have on the mental and physical health of himself, his peers, and the people he serves in the community. This led him to seek to understand more about the nature of the problem and find the best ways to keep himself healthy and reduce suffering and imbalances in his own life, and in the lives of others. Ryan is passionately curious and continues learning and exploring. He has a deep appreciation for the opportunity to be alive and knows that practicing a state of gratitude is one of the most important things we can do for a healthy life. He aims for balance and ways to minimize suffering in his own life and in the lives of others. Practicing breath awareness has allowed him to be more present and to have more autonomy.Connect with RyanWebsite: http://breathe4flow.com/Check us out at Highlyoptimzed.meJoin our free Facebook group hereThank you to Freedom Builderz for Making this Podcast Possible!Building online platforms for visionaries & influencers.https://www.freedombuilderz.com/For the best Cannabis Products and Gear check out Headshop.com and use promo code HIGHLY for discounts!  This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.Subscribe to The Highly Optimized PodcastSubscribe to This One Time on Psychedelics Podcasthttps://www.highlyoptimized.com @therealryansprague

Episode 128: Exploring The Sacred Powers of Ayahuasca (feat. Carlos Tanner)

It is no secret that the world of plant medicines is exploding in popularity at the present time. More & more people are switching from the normal protocols associated with areas of life such as mental health, physical health & spirituality as a whole & are instead looking to engage with these ancient modalities for outcomes such as healing, self awareness, etc. This being said, many are finding that within this current popularization, there are more & more practitioners coming forth, some of whom have no formal training & are endangering those they are choosing to serve, instead of helping them. With this challenge, it has brought light to the importance of being able to find organizations & individuals within those organizations that are truly fit to not only serve the medicine, but also to serve those who come to them thereafter with integration plans, follow ups, etc. Todays guest on the show is someone I am extremely excited to chat with as he has dedicated his life to not only making this goal a reality within his business, the Ayahuasca foundation, which he began in 2008, but to also allow those who come to experience the FULL tradition associated with the medicine of Ayahuasca, indigenous wisdom & culture, & Peruvian culture as a whole. For those of you currently seeking a center that you can experience these traditions within & also sign up for courses, training, etc., this is an episode you will surely want to dive into!Show Notes:(01:38) Carlos’ Bio.(02:40) How did Carlos first get into psychedelic medicines?(08:09) Carlos’ first ayahuasca experience.  (11:40) Is Aya a feminine medicine?(32:58) Mixing cannabis and ayahuasca. (45:45) What has been the most magical moment or experience that Carlos has seen regarding aya?(57:40) What Carlos is currently working on! (01:02:44) Where you can find Carlos(01:03:13) One final question…About CarlosCarlos is from the United States and has degrees in both art and philosophy. He moved to Iquitos in 2004 and lived with his first teacher for four years before creating the Ayahuasca Foundation in 2008. He currently manages the Ayahuasca Foundation website, handles the bookings and client communications, and organizes the various aspects of each program like management and maintenance. Recently, he has become a voice for the ayahuasca movement and works to spread awareness about the healing potential of plant medicine.Connect with CarlosWebsite: https://www.ayahuascafoundation.org/Check us out at Highlyoptimzed.meJoin our free Facebook group hereThank you to Freedom Builderz for Making this Podcast Possible!Building online platforms for visionaries & influencers.https://www.freedombuilderz.com/For the best Cannabis Products and Gear check out Headshop.com and use promo code HIGHLY for discounts!  This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.Subscribe to The Highly Optimized PodcastSubscribe to This One Time on Psychedelics Podcasthttps://www.highlyoptimized.com @therealryansprague

Episode 127: The Most Psychedelic Information You’ll Ever Be Exposed To (feat. Brandon Joe Williams)

Something I feel extremely passionate about in my life & truly the reason I do everything I do between my work with Cannabis, the podcasts, etc., is to give people the opportunity to liberate themselves. I see life like a video game & the main challenge amongst this reality is that most of us believe we know the rules of the game called life, yet, as you’ll recognize after hearing today's conversation, the amount we don’t know about how to truly thrive within this world is absolutely mind-boggling &, to be in alignment with this show, is also quite psychedelic when you sink into what all you’ll be hearing today can be applied to your life. Today's guest on the show is a man who I found not because of psychedelics, but because of the subject of sovereignty. He is the owner & founder of “Onestupidfuck”, which is a business dedicated to supplying the world with the true history behind money, banking, law & more. Within his business, he has an amazing free course called the “Contract Killer Course” that I recommend you download from his website, along with further education for those of you who want to truly see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. This is an episode that I very much recommend sharing with anyone you love as, like I stated earlier, the implications of what this information can do for you & your loved ones will be the strongest psychedelic experience you’ve ever dreamt of!Show Notes:(01:22) Brandon’s Bio.(05:01) How did Brandon first get into sovereignty? (29:20) Brandon’s new passport…(33:14) What is Slowjamistan?(47:03) How to crack the American banking system.(59:34) Discharging a mortgage. (01:06:52) Where you can find Brandon!About JoeJoe is an author, musician, podcaster, and teacher among other things.

Episode 124: Living A 4D Life Through The Powers Of Kundalini Energy (feat. Aaron Abke)

For many of us, the realm of psychedelic medicines has served as a catalyst for deeper spiritual connection. The main challenge that presents itself, however, within the lives of many spiritual seekers that connect with psychedelic medicines for increased connection to the realm of spirit, is a lack of both understanding of the nature of reality & also how to integrate this ability to connect deeper to spirit into their every day lives. Today's guest on the show is a man I am beyond excited to speak to regarding not only his own personal experiences with these medicines but also the ways in which he has embodied & integrated this innerstanding of the nature of reality into his own life & the lives of his students.  His main vehicle through which he delivers these teachings & empowers his students is his business, 4D University, & trust me when I say that for any of you who resonate with his message, I highly recommend checking out his content & offerings  & seeing for yourself why he’s been able to shift so many people’s mindsets within the work he has devoted himself to.Show Notes:(00:42) Aaron’s Bio.(04:46) How did Aaron first become interested in psychedelics?(19:52) Cannabis can be a great catalyst for so many things in life.(46:33) Aaron shares some practical tips for the listeners(01:12:10) Where you can find Aaron!(01:13:12) One final question…About AaronAaron Abke is a paradigm-shifting spiritual teacher that delivers a fresh, new perspective on Self-Realization through his teachings on the Law of One, Non-Duality, and Spiritual Intelligence.
