“They luxuriated in the feeling of deep and all pervading satisfaction, a feeling of knowing absolutely that all was well with the world…Not only were all things possible, but all things were theirs.”
Hubert Selby Jr
Over the past few decades there has been an increase in the exploration of plant medicines with the intent to heal the mind, heart, soul and body. An experience that is traditionally held by shamans in remote areas of the world. These practices are best to be held with deep reverence and tradition. Yet, it is clear the plants have made their way into the urban jungles. While, the medicines evolve with us…we (plants & humans) will eventually be returned to our sacred state and sit “free” in nature.
The reason most people turn to mind altering plants is to gather another perspective. Right now we all could use another perspective from within and with the immediate world around us. The benefit is to potentially realize what you are overlooking within self. From there you have the opportunity to transform.
A simple way to experience an altered state without ingesting any medicinal offerings from Mother Nature is to meditate daily. Honestly, you can experience everything and more that can be experienced on a magic plant ride from your cushion. All it takes is practice and an adept teacher to assist you in staying in the world with perspective. Like anything you can go to far and it can be a long road back to here.
If inspired, take a sit out in nature under a large tree. Sit with your back to the trunk and just be. You can follow your natural breathing pattern by simply observing it with your eyes closed. Alternatively, you can stare at one focal point on the earth in front of you. Stay as long as possible.
If you feel so inclined, DM or post your experiences below to me. If enjoy that and want to explore more, contact me…I can assist you in deepening your practice.

“A super-blend of beautifying herbs that nourish the body from the inside out.
Inspired by ancient Daoist tonic herbal wisdom, the Beauty Blend brings vitality to skin, hair, nails, and fascia.
SuperFeast Beauty Blend is a combination of the Orient’s most revered beautifying tonic herbs, traditionally used to promote both inner and outer radiance by preserving youthfulness.
Enlivening the body’s purification pathways, organ systems, and meridian channels, this stunning blend allows vitality to flourish.
This is a superior liver-loving formula, enhancing the ability of the Liver system to cleanse the Blood, increasing the body’s capacity to eliminate toxins, and cultivating vibrancy and lightness.
The Liver in Chinese medicine is responsible for the health of the skin, nails, hair (with the Kidneys), and ligaments/tendons, as well as the quality and movement of the Blood and Qi in the body.
This formula is designed to support the Yin of the Liver, to help restore harmony and the herbs in this formula have been used in combination for thousands of years.
We’ve added mineral-rich pearl powder, a beautiful Shen tonic that also supports the integrity and healthy skin, hair, and nails.
