									<p>The plant teacher and you. Granted, two worlds that are energetically connected as parts in this web of life. Yet, the physical ingestion of a well-intended preparation of a concoction made from one or more plants is where worlds meet and collide.</p><p>The many insinuating spirit <em>(energetic)</em> realms of the plant(s) meeting with the many complexities of the modern human psyche to show everything that one can imagine including the shadow parts and the light of healing, the ugly and the beautiful, the infinite depths of the underworlds, middle worlds, upperworlds and other worlds. All of it without any exception. All the way to experiencing the fabric of the universe and meeting God, the divine infinite light of existence.  </p><p>Nothing in this fusion is hidden, especially to You. Nature does not hide things like we do. It does not hold onto things. It transforms things even if it will take hundreds or thousands of years to reshape anything with an ongoing tendency to go into a balanced state again. There is an ongoing deconstruction and reconstruction, a fading away of a specie and a rebirth of another. It is all in nature. It has always been and we have been learning from nature and mimicking nature through our evolution with it and in some tiny parts of our brains, we thought that we can control it.  </p><p>The plant teachers show us what we are ready to see even if it is boredom, annoyance, expectation and frustration, grief and pain. Going through those layers of resistance, control, fear and doubt opens doorways for us to see much more than we thought and this usually includes what we thought we are not.</p><p>There’s an exquisite indulgence in the ways of perception that we can discover on the journey with plant teachers, inside and more so outside ceremony. An experience of direct revelation where what is happening in the moment is the actual expression of that moment. Nothing more, nothing less. Being in the moment for this moment is all we have.</p><p>I always asked myself where does pain come from? This amount of pain that felt never-ending on many personal experiences in ceremony. The pain in the world that I felt over and over in my inner world. How much of it is there and how much work we need to do individually to alleviate the pain within and around us? How much did I hold inside me and did not know what to do about it?</p><p>Nature detects our pain and maybe this is one of the main reasons why plant medicine is becoming more and more available all over the world. Nature responds to what we need. This brings up yet another question here: How are we approaching and doing our part in acknowledging this response to the call for help?  </p><p>Plants communicate through light and sound. The narrative that is added is a mere infinitesimal distraction of the magnitude of wisdom in the world of plants, fungi and nature altogether. The conscious part is usually challenged because of this new encounter. It does not know what to do based on what it knew before such an experience. It only knows enough of the ways the plant “should” be working based on what was heard and read and beyond this is exactly where the magick happens; When your world meets with the world of a plant teacher, in spirit or in body, your Spirit is touched and, in that moment, you are changed. It takes a while afterwards to catch up.  </p><p>Opening your senses to tap into the unseen realms is the adventure and the guidance from the ones who have laid a map and who can walk alongside you can be quite a lighthouse as you decide to engage with the spirit and the body of a plant teacher.</p><p>The experience is coded for you and only you to read and understand. The map is only to enter and come back. The construct of the “You” merges with an infinite underlying wisdom which will only remind you of who you are beyond constructs and beyond definitions. <br />It is all in the experience itself, your own.   </p><p>The rest is simple. Plants are simple in showing us things especially with what is happening in our inner worlds. Our own interpretation of that simplicity is filtered through a complex way of seeing things, for many reasons, in order to get to a certain revelation or a so-called Aha! moment. The inside world is reflected in the outside world and while the cleansing and clearing are happening, it can be chaotic, loud and many times uncomfortable, until you get tired from hanging on to the old and you experience a breakthrough of one layer and then the next and many others. <br />The adventure is ongoing and the revelations become clearer as we empty self from beliefs and acquired behaviors and patterns that are not essentially who we are. Emptying to receive and give back, to be of service on this beloved earth.</p><p>Such is nature and what a beautiful way to live and be in balance and harmony with all of existence?   </p><p>In Love and Medicine.</p><p><b>Maya Abou Chedid</b> </p>								</div>

				<div class="elementor-widget-container">
									<p>If it had become a trend, a hip thing to do nowadays, a happy-hour, a “trip” which sometimes includes mixes of substances and add-ons that do not cease to amaze me, there is no denial of a deep need that is challenging our state of sanity to push through and change the way we are living on this earth. &nbsp;</p>
<p>A need to feel whole, accepted and belong to a clan or a tribe, a yearning for a passage through unfathomable difficulties, wanting to be and sometimes to run away from being, to meet God, to mourn loss and reconcile with death and dying… Many reasons are putting more attention on healing through expanded states of consciousness to live in a true sense of wholeness again. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Breathwork, deep states of meditation, silent retreats, vision quest, fasting, somatic bodywork and movement, sound, light and elementals, entheogenic substances and master plant and mycelial teachers are being sought and experienced as medicine by many to somehow remember and re-member&#8230;</p>
<p><em>“People say that what we are seeking is the meaning of life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive”. </em>A deeply insightful and so relatable by Joseph Campbell. &nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the many approaches to invoke and evoke this connection and gradually tap into it as an anchor in everyday life is through Ceremony. This can include the ingestion of plant medicine or not and it is held in a sacred space with a well-experienced guide meeting with a common intention; Serving and supporting the healing and growth of another human being. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The Maestro I used to work with always said: “Medicine is for Everyone” and these few words keep echoing in my journey and reminding me of this truth.</p>
<p>When we hear this call, we feel a pull from a place which encompasses our whole being. An original sound echoing within and resonating with the innate sound of creation. A sound that our soul knows and we recon that “It is time for me to take this step”. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>We start to tune in and listen, slowing down enough to review our intention, investigate and approach this kind of experience with honesty and respect to our body, the wellbeing of our psyche, the functionality of expressing our emotions in a safe container, the reverence to the medicine itself and the elders and guides.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once that call happens and one is truly listening, it is important not to rush through any plant medicine experience just for the sake of doing it and ticking that box.</p>
<p>There are many levels to that response and preparing for the journey in a conscious way is crucial for the psyche, the body and the environment that will be explored differently upon return.</p>
<p>Preparation itself plays a big role in the whole journey including the integration process. This can comprise starting to explore expanded states of consciousness in different ways (as mentioned above) and tapping into the effect of those approaches on you, your life, your energy and frequency. How you feel about it and how is it landing in your being is what essentially matters.</p>
<p>Sometimes, too much can be overwhelming and can take longer time to decipher and understand in order to feel the change and stand again in new way. And yes, for some people, this is what is needed and for others, it is not.</p>
<p>This is probably why, among many people out there, I feel like talking and writing more about this subject and shedding light on how can we do things differently and with integrity. This is a core part of our own healing and doing what light beings, medicine guides, elders and wisdom keepers are sharing with us all.</p>
<p>We are One and what we think and do affects the whole web of life. Here and now, we always have a choice. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Love and Medicine.</p>
