Summary

Empaths are trending right now; let’s dig beneath the surface into what it really means to be empathic and/or to have a highly sensitive nervous system, and then talk about the plant and fungal allies that can help us to relax, recalibrate, and ground.

IN THE INTRO:

  • The difference between empathic and highly sensitive people
  • High sensitivity is an evolutionary adaptation
  • Ritual is remembering

IN THE INTERVIEW:

Part I, Lola interviews me:

  • How I came to walk the plant path
  • My experience as a vegan postpartum woman
  • What fat does for our bodies- resilience and deep nourishment- and why it’s extra important for Highly Sensitive People
  • Remembering the intelligence that is woven throughout every cell in our body (not just the brain)
  • Overcoming the empathic tendency to shut everything out
  • Healing the legacy of highly sensitive/empathic ancestors making harmful decisions in an endeavor to self medicate
  • How psychedelics can help heal and empower HSPs
  • Reishi as an ally
  • The importance of touching something before ingesting it
  • Practicing the felt sense of our food
  • Making a game of tuning into and experimenting with changing the aperture of your sensory gating channels
  • Knowing your strength as an empathic person

Part II, I interview Lola:

  • How Lola came into relationship with psilocybin mushrooms
  • Time is the most persistent illusion
  • Knowing that all is well, not as a bypass, but as the deeper reality of nature
  • The stark difference between altering your consciousness recreationally and doing so ceremonially
  • Tracing the motherline to find the medicine that belongs to you
  • Being deep in an ancient cave with the bones of your ancestors
  • Psychedelics, neurogenesis, and healing trauma

0:46.4

interview with a Lola picket and before that I am sharing Lola's interview with me. So it's somewhat of an unusual format for this show and how this came to be is that

maybe a month ago I posted a video on Instagram and IG TV video. Maybe a Sorry, yeah, a fire plane just flew overhead.

I thought about a number of people
