It’s never too late to start working on one’s own relationship to self, and to nurture the love we feel for ourselves — so here’s some guidance as to how you can start practicing self-love today, interwoven with some wisdom from my own personal journey. The tiktoker referenced was @taliemiller (I absolutely love showing my mind some love by engaging with her deep, philosophical, intellectual content) — and also the mantra I sung in my bath ceremony was this https://open.spotify.com/track/6DIgQbaIXZXERniKYNrT1D?si=r8TQmCNrSiqStr4U3Pr3zw. The Shri Ram mantra is a supreme manifestation of the divine ideal AKA it enhances esteem and mental energy. It raises consciousness and helps one build a deeper connection to divine truths (that being you are love, loved and light) and blessings.

Hands up who knows about psilocybin therapy? This week you’re going to hear about my incredible self-love journey with the psychedelic medicine and how horrendously hard it was — how it pushed/pulled/expanded me in all manner of directions — and how it has since emerged as one of the most promising and impactful/spiritual treatments I’ve ever had on my journey to overcome grief and trauma. The compounds in Magic mushroom are said to increase brain connectivity in people with severe depression — and based on my one-off experience, I feel it helped me out of a rut, in a way that other therapies just never have/never could. Fast facts: * Mushrooms/Psilocybin can have both positive and negative physical and psychological effect * It’s not naturally addictive * It can help heal trauma but a trip can also trigger a psychotic episode * If you have a pre-disposition to psychosis, likely you’ll have an increased risk of an adverse psychiatric reaction (though this can just happen to you as a short term experience and isn’t necessarily a symptom of mental illness - but be careful, please!) 🤍 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madeofshe/message
