For anyone who has had the opportunity to experience the powers of DMT, you know full well what that experience can bring forth. This being said, for many people, this medicine can create a lot of anxiety as it comes on intense & fast & also, due to the fast & strong nature of it, leave many individuals puzzled as to how to contextualize their experience & how to then integrate from it. Today's guest on the show is a returning guest who is a pioneer in the realms of Cannabis, Psilocybin, Ketamine & DMT & in this episode we will be focusing primarily on his most recent venture, DMTX. DMTX is an extended state DMT experience in which the individual moving through the experience can be brought into the effects of the medicine in a slower, controlled manner & also be kept in that state longer than with other forms, such as when smoking DMT. He has been working on this project for quite some time & his overarching business, The Center For Medicinal Mindfulness, has been a long-time juggernaut in the plant medicine space in helping its clients not only benefit from the powers of Cannabis & now Psilocybin, Ketamine & DMT but also receive training in how to replicate these results for others as well!Show Notes:(01:24) Dan’s Bio.(03:39) What is DMT X?(05:42) What are the challenges with DMT?(11:49) How do I contextualize and integrate the experience?(23:26) Who is the final boss?(39:14) Why suffer?(01:14:51) Where you can find Daniel!(01:16:37) One final question…About DanielDaniel McQueen, MA, is a Psychedelic Specialist, Educator, and Author of the book, Psychedelic Cannabis: Therapeutic Methods and Unique Blends to Treat Trauma and Transform Consciousness.

One of the main reasons many individuals become interested in the psychedelic space is due to the opportunity there is for deep healing, however, what if there were ways to be able to have the ability to heal ourselves effectively & efficiently as if we were in the psychedelic space with no psychedelic necessary? Trust me when I say that I am as big of a proponent of these medicines as any of you, however, the truth is that most of us do not have the ability to connect with these medicines as often as we may like to & even if we can, we may not be able to find the correct guides or education necessary to be able to maximize the ability of these medicines to assist us in our healing journey & in todays episode, we will be diving in with one of my favorite souls on the planet who is going to be demystifying the topic of energy healing & sharing his own personal story with how he became so passionate about this realm.  He is the founder of “Transcendence Healing”, which is a beacon of hope & transformation that was born from his own journey of overcoming struggles & discovering the power of energy healing through combining his own experiences with modalities such as the Emotion Code, Quantum Touch & Yoga with what he felt was missing from these modalities to empower those he serves to be able to put down the extra emotional weight they are carrying & pick up more joy, love & purpose into their lives!Show Notes:(01:24) JP’s Bio.(03:39) How did JP first become interested in psychedelics?  (10:44) JP’s advice for his younger self - including the wisdom from his experiences.(20:12) Ryan’s journey to reach a natural state of feeling the effects of psychedelics without having to actually take them.(32:37) How did transcendence healing come about? (55:51) Where you can find JP!(01:00:21) One final question…About JP BoydJean Paul Boyd is the founder of Transcendence Healing.

If you’re like me, you became interested in the topic of psychedelic medicines due to an ever burning curiosity to innerstand the “bigger picture” happening within this experience we call life. For me, following this curiosity has allowed me to become much more aware, however, like you may have heard of before, awareness is simply the first step, yet not the full picture. Being able to truly embody the awareness you gain from these experiences through integration is a whole other topic & when I meet individuals such as todays guest who so clearly have been able to move through this embodiment process aforementioned, I take great honor in sharing them with each of you as my goal is to always leave you all with practical, real world examples of what these sometimes “far out” & more qualitative aspects to life can bring forth in our lives. Along with being a proponent behind the conscious, responsible utilization of psychedelic medicines in his life, he is a devoted family man, incredible coach, where he helps to bring consciousness & deep truths to leaders & someone who lights up the hearts of those he holds dear in his life & in todays episode, you will be getting an inside look at the inner workings of his perspectives of life, his current lifestyle & much, much more.Show Notes:(01:14) Jacob’s Bio.(03:11) How did Jacob first get interested in psychedelics?(10:37) What are Jacob’s favorite methods of integration?(14:22) Ryan’s observation of men seeking psychedelic experiences.(17:34) What would Jacob recommend for people that choose to interact with psychedelics?(24:09) Why Jacob doesn’t interact with psychedelics as often anymore.(35:54) Slowing down before speeding up…(41:59) What are the 6 human needs?(54:16) What Jacob is most excited about!(56:14) Where you can find Jacob!(56:47) One final question…About Jacob MetzgerJacob Metzger is a Life, Business, and Health Strategist Coach with Tony Robbins and the Owner of Living Leadership.Connect with JacobInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacoblovesbeingalive/Website: https://www.jacobmetzger.co/homeCheck 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 Optimized 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

One aspect within this show that I speak of frequently is the idea of experiencing life itself as a psychedelic. For me, this has always been the goal as I have come to recognize that what I originally loved about psychedelic medicines was their ability to open me up to new perspectives, however, my biggest challenge in my younger years was coming back to “reality” & wishing I could experience that type of magic more frequently. As such, my entire life over the past 10 years has been focused on achieving this goal & in todays episode, we are going to be chatting with an individual who has taken this idea to the absolute max in his life. From undergoing multiple intense neurofeedback sessions designed to help him train his brain waves just like zen monks do to be able to access the mystical states associated with them whenever he chooses to diving into many different forms of inner work designed to help him become more heart centered, it is safe to say that, for him, life has truly become the psychedelic & my hope for each of you today during our chat is that you are also able to realize that this is possible & that you pick up some new tips & strategies for achieving this goal in your own life.Show Notes:(1:18) Anthony’s Bio.(4:00) How Anthony got into brainwave training.(21:45) What is brainwave integration therapy?(30:08) How does a CES device compare to neuro feedback?(32:34) How Anthony connected with psychedelics. (43:27) What stood out the most to Anthony…(53:49) Where you can find Anthony!(57:25) One final question…About Anthony FloresAnthony Flores is a Meditator, Writer, Crypto, and spreader of Light, Love, and Truth.Connect with AnthonyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/poetrybyanthony/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 Optimized 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

I have recently been having more & more of these occurences in my life & for me personally, it allows me to experience the psychedelic nature of life, like I often speak about on this show & todays guest is 110% a prime example of this. His mission in life is to help his friends, family & clients learn to live an awakened life through his passion as a self realization mentor. By allowing his clients to move beyond the “I” to discover who & what they truly are, it is safe to say that he is hitting the bullseye on his soul mission to wake up the world around him & in this episode, we dive into an absolutely EPIC heart flow that was completely off the cuff & smooth as butter.Show Notes:(0:58) Pat Bio.(04:01) Building a lens of perception.(07:26) Separating the ego from the rest of your self.(20:29) Self-awareness & self realizations…(38:30) The most profound experiences in Pat’s life.(59:38) Where you can find Pat!(01:00:10) One final question…About Pat MahanPat Mahan is the creator of Like Attracts Like Evolution, a podcast host, and the Self Realization mentor.Connect with Pat Website: https://www.likeattractslikeevolution.com/The Like Attracts Like Evolution Podcast on Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-like-attracts-like-podcast/id1451345410The Like Attracts Like Evolution Podcast on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ecaCOSe3GS9E7Daajo9tpLike Attracts Like Evolution on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv2eoiGFAPhA6R5fuM-s42QInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/patmahan_/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 Optimized 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

When it comes to everyday psychedelic experiences, none are more powerful than the ability to see ourselves reflected back to us through the relationships in our life. It is within this ability to see ourselves reflected to us that we have the ability to know thyselves to deeper levels & ultimately transcend our ego-based reality into a deeper, more infinite version of ourselves as divine beings having human experiences. Todays guests on the show are two humans that have experienced this ability for relationships to be a psychedelic experience & none have been more psychedelic for them than the relationship they have to each other. From getting married at a young age, to moving through divorce, to going through their own dark nights of the soul to ultimately reconnecting & finding an even deeper love for one another, I believe it is safe to say that this episode is going to hit deep for each of you as if there is one thing that is objective for all of us, it is our craving for connection with those around us & as you will hear in today's episode, that ability for each of us to connect with others that are in alignment with who we truly are requires deep self awareness & introspection & oftentimes, those things require the necessary space to ask ourselves the right questions & ultimately allow the love that we truly are to prevail. Show Notes:(1:14) Chase & Mimi’s Bio.(22:18) How they got back together, and what was learned.(56:25) Where you can reach Chase & Mimi!(59:55) One final question…About Chase Ramey & Mimi LindquistChase & Mimi, hosts of The Medicin Podcast in San Diego have worked in the health, wellness and personal development space for nearly a decade (podcasting since 2020).

For me, psychedelic medicines have always been about achieving a higher quality of life & knowing thyself to deeper degrees. It is within knowing all aspects of us & learning to accept ourselves from a place of compassion & love that we can open up the beacon of light that allows us to be a lighthouse for other souls on their journeys. By opening up this ability to be a lighthouse within each of us, we can also open up the opportunity to see ourselves reflected in each person we meet along our journey & enter into a relationship with, whether platonic or romantic in nature. Todays guest on the show is someone who encompasses this lighthouse exquisitely for those he loves most in his life & the world at large. His mission in life, which stems from his own previous challenges within this realm, is to help men take accountability & ownership over their the challenges they experience within their marriages by allowing them to recognize that it is up to them & them alone to love themselves enough to become the men that they, their spouse & the world at large are yearning for them to become & in doing so, also allow women to understand that they too must be dedicated to the same type of self love to ensure that when these two polarities come together, that they can support each other in becoming the king & queen that love has the opportunity to create in each partnership that occurs on earth. He accomplishes this both through his personal work with his clients & also his podcast, “The Married Game” podcast!Show Notes: (1:18) Keith’s Bio.(5:51) How did Keith first become interested in psychedelics?(18:21) Cannabis can help elevate your senses in many ways.(18:46) Using the medicine for self awareness and self development. (34:15) Gummy Bear 19…(56:19) Keith’s dream job.(1:02:54) What cannabis teaches us.(1:03:33) Where you can reach Keith!(1:05:38) One final question…About Keith Yackey Keith Yackey  is the founder and creator of MarriedGame.com.  When his wife left him 5 years ago he realized that he was the problem and that his wife was no longer attracted to him.  Since getting her back, Keith has dedicated his life to teaching men how to get their wives to want to have sex with them again.
