Can cannabis be used in spiritual practice? Higher Spirits EP 03 Will Johnson

Cannabis has been used for thousands of years in spiritual practices and in today’s episode we discuss how we can adapt this tradition for modern times. Our guest, Will Johnson, is the author of Cannabis in Spiritual Practice: The Ecstasy of Shiva, the Calm of Buddha. We discuss his journey of being a devout Buddhist of 13 years and how he came to integrate cannabis into his spiritual practice. This is a great episode exploring how this plant can help us get out of our minds and into our bodies for deeper meditations. After our conversation you will find a 13-minute guided cannabis meditation from Will's book. We also discuss:

►The ancient history of cannabis in spiritual practices ►Lord Shiva, the Lord of Bhang (cannabis drink) ►The somatic experience of cannabis ►The potential of cannabis use in meditation and movement to achieve awakening ►How to adapt traditional spiritual teachings for modern life ►The concept of “somataphobia” or the fear of awakening

►A 13-minute guided cannabis meditation
