We are all carrying stuff that isn't ours. These are the traumas we have inherited from our parents or even grand/great-grandparents. Psychedelics allow us to release these things so that we don't have to carry them anymore or pass them on to future generations. It didn't start with us, but it gets to end with us. For us, this has given such a deeper meaning to the work which is beyond ourselves. In today's episode, we are sharing our experiences with ancestral healing sparked by ayahuasca ceremonies.What we talked about:Intergenerational trauma: the spiritual perspective and the epigenetics perspectiveZoey coming to a place of working with the physical body to heal and process ancestral traumaLana sitting through and healing family trauma of experiencing war and clearing trauma from her father’s lineageHow “doing your work” ripples out to all of humanity - past and presentHow the universe responds to changes in you as a result of your healingTools we use to connect with ancestorsMentioned in the episode:Intergenerational trauma studyEpisode 18 with Mariah GannessaIt Didn’t Start With You [book]The Body Keeps The Score [book]The Dark Side of the Light Chasers [book]Episode 1 with Lana and Zoey👉Stay connected to Modern Psychedelics via ⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Web⁠ 👉 Inspired to transform your life from the inside out, and integrate higher consciousness in your day to day life? ⁠Explore 1:1 Coaching with Lana ⁠or ⁠Apply Now⁠👉 ⁠FREE Intention Setting Journal for Psychedelic Experiences⁠👉⁠ Integration Journal to Help Make Sense of Your Journey⁠👉 ⁠Ceremony Checklist for Safe Plant Medicine Journeys⁠👉 ⁠Psychedelic Journey & Psychedelic Integration Playlist⁠👉Looking for daily integration support or a legal microdose option?
