How we remember with sacred mushrooms

The sacredness of the mushrooms

Before the Western world began researching psilocybin for mental health, it was a sacred sacrament used by ancient civilizations and indigenous peoples.

Archaeological artifacts - dating as far back as 9,000 years - found in Egypt, Europe, and Mesoamerica teach us about psilocybin’s ancient and sacred use.

Cave murals and clay and rock sculptures depict ceremonial and ritual scenes with mushrooms as deities.

The Aztecs called them “flesh of the gods”. The Mazatecs called them “little precious things”, “little saints”.

They believed the sacred mushrooms allow us to commune with Spirit for sacred guidance.

They didn’t forget we are divine, having a human experience.

They understood the mycelium network connects us to all life  -  it's the physical and neural roots of Mother Earth, bridging us to the spiritual world.

Forgetting through fear-based conditioning

The Aztecs were colonized by the Spanish, wiped of their spiritual practices. Through suppression and erasure, they conformed to survive, conditioned in fear.

All humans and civilizations have experienced systemic conditioning and traumatic events that through fear, has disrupted our divine nature.

Over thousands of years, this affected humanity’s heightened ability to think and discern and process emotions and memories.

It impacted our nervous system - our thought and biological feedback, impeding the way we perceived and responded to life.

It’s caused us to lose touch with our infinite capacity to hold the depths of our emotions - and discern wisdom in our bodies, our intuition.

We’ve adapted to heightened and dysregulated stress responses, even in non-threatening situations. While we may feel safe in our bodies, we don’t recognize it due to millennia of conditioning, most of us hold tension and breathe incorrectly.

The ways our minds and bodies have adapted have driven a fear of separation - from knowing our divinity, being in relationship with Spirit, and seeing and respecting nature as a sacred reflection of the Source of all life - the Divine Mother.

It has robbed us of our power, our superhuman minds and bodies.

Conditioned by ancestral memories and our own wounding

Our ancestral experiences and memories are written in our DNA. We inherited certain portion expressed in our genes. And throughout our life, we experience our own trauma and wounding.

In fear and lack of awareness, we stuff down the memories and respond in ways to protect. Our innocent and radiant parts hide, creating our shadows. They condition how we perceive life, meet ourselves and our emotions, and engage with others.

As long as we remain ignorant of our shadows and conditioning, we perpetuate cycles and run on autopilot, hindering ourselves from experiencing life at its zenith, our greatest potential.

We aren’t broken - we just need to REMEMBER

No part of us is broken - only parts forgotten.

So, how do we remember and reclaim who we are beyond conditioning and trauma?

Our sovereignty and interconnectedness -

Our unique soul expression that fulfills our highest purpose and serves one another -

Our courage to follow our hearts, overcome fear -

That we are eternal souls in a human body - that divine gifts are not woo-woo. They are dormant inside of our bodies, activated once we awaken to and align with our truth.

Healing, reprogramming, & remembering with the mushrooms

As ancient civilizations believed - and many lineages continued to practice - when we take the mushrooms, we commune with Spirit for sacred messages. May we learn from and honor those who remember.

With a grateful heart, a willingness to go within, an openness to see the truth, and surrendering to the insights, we can begin to remember.

The mushrooms take us deep within our psyche where our subconscious and unconscious minds convene with our higher-self - so we can witness and reconnect our parts and align to Spirit.

This often entails a piercing look at our glimmers - our soul uniqueness - what we came to Earth to express and share, and our shadows - the unconscious fears, wounds, response patterns.

Simple awareness, fully meeting and receiving insights can lead to profound epiphany, healing and shifts.

Often times, it takes integration - subtle changes to fall into alignment. Slowing down to simply notice and be. Contemplating shadow parts for greater understanding, feeling and releasing repressed emotions. This is cyclical, deconditioning work.

As we become more aware, we heal. Awareness and healing unlock wisdom and remembrance in the mind and body.

We reclaim lost parts and remember our inherent essence.

Grinding and stagnation ceases, flowing begins.

Fear lessens, courage expands.

What no longer resonates falls away, magnetizing the fresh and new.

Our radiant expression shines brighter and brings a joy and fulfillment like nothing else can.

We begin to remember our sovereignty and divinity - how we fit as an intrinsic whole, connected to one another, Mother Earth, and Spirit - with the freedom to embrace how we experience that reality.

Supporting you in your remembrance, journeying with the sacred mushrooms

The sacred mushrooms have compassionately guided me through feeling and transmuting ancestral grief and reclaiming ancestral gifts. They’ve helped me reclaim my faith and knowing of my higher purpose, beneath projections and intellect. They’ve showed me how I am woven into the fabrics of all life - and how healing and empowering it’s been to reunite with Mother Earth and Spirit

They’ve taught me how to embrace life’s harsh experiences and suffering as a teacher, the seed of my wisdom and remembrance. I can see fear and not react from it but live openly and curiously, with radical optimism and faith.

I hope to carry these experiences and teachings to support others in similar ways.

Many of us have lived in an environment or experienced traumatic events where we had to hide or shut down our emotions. Or we’ve only accessed them to a certain extent. We may not be aware of this or how to access them further.

I create an environment where others feel safe and courageous to discover and express their inner world. And through my guidance, may they find gratifying insight of their inner and outer worlds - realizing they’re a mirror.

As we journey with the mushrooms, may we wholeheartedly connect with our intentions and receive sacred messages... to remember.

With gratitude and love to serve,
