  “ What are your favorite ways to transmute fear? ” Another fabulous question, where the simple answer is through Mature and Unconditional Love, but y’all know how we do it around here, so let’s provide a more detailed and scientific answer, bringing us to the topic of Defense Mechanisms. Why? Because transmuting fear can be done in many ways, all ranging from negative to positive methods and defense mechanisms covers that spectrum. It’s important to know both the dark and light aspects, so we can be aware of what we might be doing wrong and replace them with healthier manners that will enable you to properly evolve.    Before we dive deeper, I’d like to give you a quick synopsis on the  id ,  ego  and  superego  as they pertain to defense mechanisms. You’ve probably heard of these terms in psychology where they teach about consciousness through many branches. Currently, we will be looking through the psychoanalytic lense which organizes your psyche into 3 parts.   First we have the 

  Are you Happy? Haha Hey Mom! This is a great question and to be honest, generally I am happy and extremely grateful but am I joyous all the time? No; I don’t think that’s realistic for any of us. A healthy human experience is an amalgamation of all emotions and to exist in any one of them all the time would be unrealistic and frankly unhealthy. A better question would be if I’m at peace.

What is Source? What an incredibly profound question, I love it!    Source is to our souls what the sun is to sun rays. There is a higher intelligence actively creating existence; some call it God, or the higher self, and source is another great term for it. This is where your intuition emanates from and it’s a c

Book List      One of the important aspects of self-discovery and healing in the psychedelic journey is the act of educating your mind with valuable information so you have the right tools to process and reflect what may be brought up during magical trips. That’s why I put together this book list for those of you interested in expanding your horizons.    Scientific ·    How to Change Your Mind – Michael Pollan (heavy): this book really encapsulates the world of psychedelics by explaining its historical roots, how hallucinogens molecularly impact the brain and its applications in psychotherapy. ·    Jung’s Map of the Soul – Murray Stein (heavy): here the author provides a solid understanding of Jungs concepts on how humanity articulates consciousness in common ways through basic archetypes and in not so common ways through complexes of the psyche. It’s a very eye-opening read as to how the soul expresses itself. ·    Surrounded by Idiots – Thomas Erikson  (medium):  don’t be fooled by t
