On the podcast today we are exploring the topic of psychedelics and the impact they can have on ones healing journey with Dr. Will Siu. Dr. Will Siu’s educational background includes training at UCLA, a doctorate in immunology at the University of Oxford, extensive experience studying and practicing psychedelic - assisted therapies and more!
I have been so curious to learn more about psychedleics and how they could impact my own healing journey. I am grateful for the powerful reflections Dr. Will Siu shared during this conversations such as:
- The healing journey is discovering and re-trusting who we really are.
- Everyone is trying their best but most peoples best is hurtful to other people.
- The system is sick and hurting and doesn’t even know it.
- We suffer because part of the collective story is there is something to achieve, the happy ending is a story we have created within ourself.
- Psychedelics are tools - an opportunity to have an experience that shows you the difference between your true self and illusion self.
- Psychedelics are not for everyone and are not a silver bullet for healing.
- Our pain comes from wanting to emanate differently than our natural emanation.
- Ultimate presence in the moment is where the magic is, pychedelics are one of many tools to clear the blocks.
- Time is an essential part of the human video game - including the evolution of psychedelics
- A.I. is here and may be used as a tool for healing - diving into the pain + fear + sadness, going on a journey and going through it.
- Humans have been dealing with suffering for tens of thousands of years, patience allows us to be gentle with ourselves during the process.
- Bravery is going in and then addressing conflict with others in ones community.
- Patience is the most powerful way.
- + so much more!
