📔 Psychedelics 101: Terms Everyone Should Know

Neuroplasticity 🧠 

Psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD are known to enhance neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form and reorganize synaptic connections, potentially aiding in mental health and cognitive function.

Enhanced neural plasticity can potentially aid in the treatment of various psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is why psychedelics are being investigated as potential treatments for these conditions.

Beyond Chemistry - The Spiritual Essence of Plant Medicine

By Jonathan Goldman, Founder of Church of The Holy Light of The Queen

Being a facilitator of sacred medicine healing is not a job; it is, or should be, a calling…

They are not the same thing.

🤲 It’s not a career to be pursued lightly, nor is it a simple matter of administering substances with known physiological effects.

Sacred medicine healing requires deep understanding, commitment, and reverence for the energetic and spiritual forces at play.

While plant medicines have measurable chemical properties, their true power lies beyond biochemistry.

🌀 Healing doesn’t come from a shift in neurotransmitters; it comes from a shift in perception…

These medicines open doors to unseen realms of consciousness, guiding participants through inner landscapes of pain, wisdom, and transformation.

The experience is not simply about altering the mind—it’s about revealing what has always been present, hidden beneath layers of trauma, protection, and unconscious patterns.

🖼️ The Role of Spiritual Guidance in Healing

In sacred ceremonies, non-physical entities—healers, teachers, and even challengers—may emerge.

Some have been present for years, silently holding trauma patterns in place.

Others act as guides, subtly influencing a person’s life path.

👀 When the veils of consciousness are lifted, participants may finally recognize these energies and begin the process of deep healing.

But transformation is not always gentle…

Sometimes, the release of long-held energy can be intense, even overwhelming.

To the untrained eye, it may look like distress or crisis…

However, in the hands of a skilled facilitator—one with experience in opening and closing energetic portals, guiding the process rather than resisting it—these moments become opportunities for profound healing.

🛑 The Problem with Superficial Training

The rising popularity of plant medicine has led to an influx of facilitators who lack the necessary depth of training.

A three-month retreat in Peru or an online course for therapists does not prepare someone to hold space in these ceremonies.

True expertise comes through years of apprenticeship, self-work, and an unwavering dedication to the sacredness of this work.

Misguided intervention can turn a life-changing breakthrough into a crisis…

🥼 Many practitioners, following the medical model, attempt to suppress an experience rather than guide it.

In our ceremonies, we’ve encountered countless moments that, had we followed conventional training, would have resulted in emergency interventions…

Instead, by trusting the process and skillfully navigating the moment, we’ve witnessed participants release deeply rooted trauma and step into a new phase of their lives.

🧭 Honoring the Medicine and Its Origins

The integration of plant medicine into Western culture comes with a responsibility: to honor the traditions from which these sacred plants originate.

These medicines were not developed in laboratories or within capitalist frameworks.

They come from ancient traditions where their purpose was to foster deep connections—with nature, with spirit, and with the wisdom that modern societies have lost.

💊 While adaptations are inevitable, we must resist the impulse to reduce these medicines to mere biochemical tools.

Healing is not about increasing serotonin… It’s about reconnecting to the vibrational essence of life itself.

Those who walk this path—facilitators and participants alike—must approach it with humility, respect, and a commitment to preserving the integrity of the medicine and the cultures that have safeguarded it for generations…

• Ibogaine May Help With Addiction, But What Else?

💥 Very few have heard about ibogaine and even less have experience with it, but it’s quickly becoming a relevant topic of discussion, especially for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression and PTSD…

💬 We will leave you with this…

David Eagleman brilliantly stated, “I think what a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.”

Challenging our beliefs and knowledge is essential for finding the truth, especially in a crowded space like plant medicine and psychedelics.
