We all need healing; some more than others. We need healing in different ways and for different reasons. Starting from our childhood and how we were raised, treated, loved and cared for; moving through our lives and coping with all its many challenges; family and personal relationships that struggle over issues born out of each other’s past; extraordinarily traumatic events such as combat, death of a loved one, witnessing events one never wants to have witnessed. These are just a few of the many examples of events in one’s life that results in PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, hopelessness, struggle; the bottom line being human suffering.
My purpose in this life is to help others heal; to help alleviate some of that human suffering that is so prevalent in the world. Is it possible to truly heal? Is it even possible to restructure and reform those wounds from our past? So many efforts have been tried for so long throughout human history; talk therapy, pharmaceuticals, regression therapy, shock treatment, prayer, and on and on; yet little progress has been made.
Psilocybin, “the Medicine” works on another level. Scientists have now identified what is known as the Default Mode Network, or DMN, of the brain. It is composed of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex and it is there that each of us has constructed a framework of sorts; built filters through which we “see” the world. Based on how we were raised from infants, through childhood, adolescence and on into adulthood, that filter system was constructed, reinforced, and protected us especially in childhood, to keep us ever vigilant and watchful for the dangers we may have encountered. Whether that be an alcoholic biological parent, an abusive foster parent, a dangerous neighborhood in which we lived, a teacher who abused us, or other adults in positions of power who took advantage of us; we learned in the best way we knew at that young and tender age to keep ourselves safe.
Or maybe we grew up in a safe, or relatively safe home environment; then as an adult we were sent off to war; or a loved one passed away and there was unfinished business we had not resolved and were left with regrets; or some other event occurred whereby we had to deal with an extreme shock, one that changed us at such a deep level that we still suffer its consequences today.
For myself, I was raised in a stable and for the most part safe home. There were definitely dysfunctional aspects to it; at times poor boundaries, ongoing threats of being hit by my mother, though she never did. Then at age 18, my girlfriend and I were abducted by two men and she was raped. Both her and my families had no idea how to process that traumatic event, and so it sat and festered within her and I for many years. I share this event to say I have a personal understanding of the experience of trauma; both its short and its long-term impacts.
Psilocybin is a Sacred Medicine that has been gifted to humanity to assist in our healing. It is not meant to be a recreational drug; it is meant to be treated with intention and respect; meant to be consumed with deep preparation. That preparation occurs physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally in order to be truly ready to work with the Medicine. It is a co-creative process and my part as Clinical Facilitator is to assist in that preparation and intention setting; to sit with the journeyer as their safe support system during the session; to give them water if they are thirsty, to hold their hand if that is what they request, to guide them to the restroom if that is what they need, to help calm them if they experience feelings of overwhelm, to get them a blanket if they are cold; to be there for whatever it is they need at any moment of their healing journey. The day following the journey we meet again to review the intentions you set for your session and process what came up for you during it; what were you shown, what insights came to you, and together focus on the integration of it all.
The Medicine is not simply a chemical compound; it is intelligent and connects us with an even greater intelligence that is both within each of us, as well as around us. The Universe is intelligent and we are its arms, limbs, eyes, voices, and most importantly, Hearts in this physical world we find ourselves living in. Each of us is here in this life to learn and grow. Healing is a key aspect of that learning and growing. The Medicine is here to help.
