New Video: Plant Medicine & how it's helped me in healing stage 4 cancer
Plant medicine & how it's helped me heal stage 4 cancer. What?! Yup, you heard that right friends. π
I am absolutely aware that this is a controversial topic AND I think it is a vitally important topic to educate the public about possible tools for healing and how to create a healthy state of mind.
Just to clarify, when I say the term 'PLANT MEDICINE', I mean psychoactive (mind altering) plants.
So many people ask me what I have done on my healing journey, after being referred to Hospice in 2019 with breast cancer that had spread throughout my body. (See my four minute informational video here if you want to hear my story.) I have a gazillion videos, interviews, resource pages and even have written a book (Grace, Grit & Gratitude: A Cancer Thriver's Journey from Hospice to Full Recovery with the Healing Power of Horses) about this topic. What I HAVE NOT spoken about much is my use of plant medicine in the almost ten years of journeying with late stage cancer.
Medicine (conventional and natural medicine) has assisted me greatly, but honestly beyond medicine, I do believe that STATE OF MIND is more important than medicine!
I have done a tremendous amount of inner work to transcend grief/trauma around so many close friends of mine dying from cancer, my parents traumatic deaths in the last few years and from this experience, I passionately believe it is important to clear the mind/body of stuck energy for the optimal healing of the physical body. A healthy body and mind journey together.
Using plant medicine in a therapeutic manner has helped to clear the mental cobwebs for me in a profound manner that has expedited my process of dissolving mental blocks that might have prevented me from healing.
Note: I am not a professional practitioner of these medicines and I do not go into great details into how the medicines were used. I am sharing my own personal experience with them. If you are new to this topic and are curious to try various remedies, I encourage you to seek out reputable, trustworthy practitioners for your own experimentation with quality products. This makes a huge difference in one's own experience.
For clarifications sake, I am not a regular medicine user. I eat cleanly and my body is extremely sensitive to outside substances I put into it. Every experience I have had that I share about in this video was done with deliberate, conscious action. I do believe that medicine and experiences like this deserve this attentive focus.
I hope you enjoy this video and it is helpful for you! Please share your thoughts, comments and questions, I would love to hear them! β₯οΈ
