  • Ayahuasca: A Spiritual Awakening

    Ayahuasca: A Spiritual Awakening
    Jan 3 2023
    "Ayahuasca remains a fringe psychological medicine, but it's slowly working its way into the mainstream. Until fairly recently, you had to travel to South America to experiment with the plant, but now ayahuasca ceremonies are popping up in the United States and Europe. Ayahuasca exposes the gap between whom you think you are and who you are. In my case, the gap was immense, and the pain of seeing it for the first time was practically unbearable". In this episode, I will educate you about Ayahausca. Please stay tuned. Ten signs of a Spiritual Awakening. 1. You start to see the world in a different light — a shift from external to internal. 2. You begin to prioritize and question what gives you joy and purpose. 3. It is actively seeking to replace that which no longer serves you with something that does. Habits, toxic relationships, or work that only helps to pay bills. 4. The feeling of humility and gratitude for what you are shown in a ceremony and learning to live and see we are all in the same boat….compassion. 5. Seeking external help, the gathering of resources to facilitate understanding. This is not only just reading or educating yourself about others' spiritual path…but also allowing the receptivity of your mind to engage in energies that seek to feed your inner world. 6. Realization of the connectivity of all life and how it feeds you. Contemplating your relationship with nature, with the Earth and its spirits. Plant medicines like Ayahuasca and San Pedro magnify and emphasize the feeling of a synergetic connection and responsibility to the Pachamama. 7. Beginning to move through life not by trying to think your way to a new place but by simply accepting anything, being aware of the opportunities that place themselves in front as the process of active path selection. Ayahuasca can mystically provide one with different clarity of vision to path selection after a ceremony for some time... Follow the rabbit of the matrix. 8. Taking responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions and beginning to repair and develop how you receive and express yourself actively. This part requires personal effort and spiritual, reflective skills. It needs something from you other than just drinking a cup of Ayahuasca and sitting back. Through active engagement and attention, plant medicines provide the sense and meaning of your life story and where it wants to take you. 9. In a spiritual rebirth, you forgive yourself for all your past shortcomings and those involved in your stories: parents, lovers….everyone. 10. Learning to recognize and follow energies that feed you instead of chasing points that consume you is a significant opening in this path of spiritual discernment. It magnifies your feeling of life and self and gives you a glow.Resources Sticks, Stones, and Roots Podcast: Website: https://sticksstonesandroots.com/ Facebook: Facebook YouTube: YouTube

  • The Child Self

    The Child Self
    Dec 8 2022

    "The ego holds many of our problems in the world. You find yourself having to prove things to other people for validation. When you do actual soul work, you no longer need the proof of others because you operate under a different set of laws. These are ancient laws that are forgotten by many and known by few."

    Whether or not you believe in spirituality in all aspects, such as angels, the ancestors, those who have moved on…I am not here to debate you. However, I can share my healing journey and help you along your path to rediscovery. You know your story. Some of you may know you have been abused. Some of you may be unsure. The point is that we all need to become better versions of ourselves. So, how can we do this?

    In this episode, I will educate you about the child self and how to recover them. Please stay tuned.

    Notable Quotes

    · You have to do the soul work. No one else can do it for you. This is the first step in receiving the answers you seek and true healing.

    · You have to die to yourself. Which means you have to die to your ego. You have to die for everything you thought you knew because you will face a new reality and the truth.

    · You are going to have to accept the truth about yourself and others. This can often be a hard pill to swallow. But, in the end, it is your truth, and you must embrace it.

    · Once you have died to yourself and accepted the truth, you have to take a stand and walk in that truth. However, it may look to you.

    · When the gods and goddesses of other realms step in on your behalf and make you whole again, you must do the work. This includes doing your soul’s purpose, whatever you are shown.

    · Act now. Do not delay. What do you have to lose by being yourself and putting yourself out there? When heaven has touched you, how could you ever go back?

  • Sexual Abuse Memories: What if Rape Happened to You?

    Sexual Abuse Memories: What if Rape Happened to You?
    Dec 5 2022
    “Being hung up on what happened to us in the past will keep us from realizing our full potential. It will block you from remembering who you are, the essence of your being given to you by your ancestors.” Rape is a complex subject to talk about, and it happens to many people. It is the depravity of the mind but, most importantly, the depravity of the soul. I remember my trauma after undergoing my spiritual awakening, I participated in an annual healing session, and many repressed memories from my childhood bubbled to the surface. I distinctly remember the information about my abuser and the darkness that always resonated within me, and I now knew where it all came from. I couldn’t understand why specific events triggered me, past sexual thoughts out of nowhere, or reacted to a particular individual a certain way. Research shows that people usually accurately recall the gist and central details of highly-stressful experiences. For example, someone may remember who the other person was and the nature of the most disturbing sexual act or acts and whatever it was that got their attention as it happened. These are the central details, but not all of the furniture in the room where it happened, nor all the details of the act, especially those they did not notice or pay attention to, the peripheral details. Someone may block out or edit some disturbing emotions and sensations; in those cases, the central details of this barrier are for that person at that time. In this episode, I will educate you about the three key memories of past sexual abuse and how each can affect how people react later in life due to the trauma. Please stay tuned. Key Highlights [00:00:01] Definition of rape [00:02:23] Details of a memory of a past trauma [00:07:49] Memories of unwanted or abusive childhood sexual experiences: Episodic Implicit Peripheral Notable Quotes ● Research evidence shows that it is not rare for people who were sexually abused in childhood to go for many years, even decades, without having memories of abuse; people must always have implicit memories of the abuse. ● Sorting things out can take time and require help from a therapist who understands how to understand distorting memories when you recall them. ● Most procedural memories connected to one or abusive childhood experiences are habitual responses to feelings of being harmed arbitrate ● Many of the self-defense and self-blaming behaviors and thoughts that people have, retreating and fear, striking out in anger, and criticizing themselves, are repetitions of childhood responses to being exploited or harmed by others. These procedural memories cause many other problems we have in our relationships. They are conditioned responses that are deeply etched into our brains. They arise automatically when we get triggered and are particularly likely to come out when we feel stressed or vulnerable. ● Being hung up on what happened to us in the past keeps us from realizing our full potential. It will block you from remembering who you are, the essence of your being meant to you by your ancestors.
