“You can’t get rid of something that’s buried if you don’t dig it up first”
It’s almost been a year since Lorena went to the jungle of Costa Rica to seek guidance from Mama Ayahuasca - now it’s time for a check-in!
In this week’s episode we catch up on Lorena’s experience with this this medicine and hear about her experience with another teaching plant; how things have changed, how Ayahuasca different to other medicines, and what advice she has for others who “hear the call” to include this plant on their journey of self-discovery.
The episode starts off with a brief overview of everything that we talked about in Episodes 1 and 2 - what is Ayahuasca, what are the benefits and why has it become such a cornerstone for those who are seeking to know themselves better? After comparing them to other experiences involving the active ingredient, DMT, Kelly and Lorena talk about the integration of the messages and lessons Lorena learned from this sacred plant. What’s it like learning about yourself from grandmother medicine as compared to the grandfather counterpart San Pedro - and how long did it take for these lessons to sink in?
Over the episode Kelly is in awe of how much Lorena’s experience matches theirs even though the tools they both use are vastly different. Lorena talks to Kelly about how difficult integration was for her and Kelly relates completely in regards to their own time in talk therapy. At the end of the conversation both reflect on how much they’ve grown and how important it was for the two of them to come to terms with their shadow selves. They also discuss how they handle and manage things like alcohol cravings, codependency, patience and the ultimate reward of learning to love the parts of yourself that the world tells you we should hate.
