Aw I miss my puli!! She looked just like that! 🖤

That’s amazing! I imagine each one would be unique based on where we’re at on our life’s journey. Looking forward to a second one!

In 2018, only 5 days after getting married to the love of my life, I embarked on a 10-day spiritual journey on my own whereby I maintained noble silence in a practice called Vipassana. This ancient Buddhist practice, open to anyone with any religious background, is held at meditation centers across the world.

I was one of approximately 100 people; the men and women were segregated but came to the same hall everyday to meditate. I averaged about 11 hours of meditation per day and ate vegetarian throughout my time at the center. The premise revolved around meditation and internal work, so no talking, writing, reading, working out, or any other distractions were performed so as to stay within and get the most out of the experience. Three one-hour daily sessions were guided by S.N. Goenka in recorded videos with profound lessons in each.

This experience really tipped my spirituality over. I had already been interested in tapping deeper into my spiritual self, but this really blew that out of the water. I realized so much about myself in those 10 days by watching where my mind would go, by seeing what narratives would surface, and by reflecting on what it meant to be in this human experience. A big reflection, however, was realizing just how much I was driven to these types of mind challenges. I am naturally drawn to any type of self-developing solitary activity that challenges my mind in one way or another. And I will say, not speaking to anyone for 10 days straight was definitely a challenge!

Because I was training my mind to be present at any given moment, I became so observant of the smallest details around me. The food tasted better and I ate it slower, the energy of another person sitting beside me exuded brighter, and the walks to/from my room to the pagoda hall were increasingly more intentional. I still get a lovely flashback of the fresh air anytime it rains where I am now; the rainy scent in the air really stuck with me and created a deeply ingrained memory.

It was incredibly positive all around. Would you do this type of experience?🧘🏼‍♀️

I’ll add it to my book list right now, thx for the rec🙏🏼

Some may use the term “altered states” while some may say “non ordinary” when discussing the perceptual changes experienced under the influence of a psychedelic substance. When in such states, a large majority of people tend to report deep meaning attached to their journeys with a shift in perspective.

Psychedelics have the power to soften our belief systems by reducing the intensity of our inner narratives in which our beliefs about the world operate. In return, this “belief relaxation” provides the space for new information to come in and grants our minds access to differing perspectives. There’s unlimited possibilities going from here! Have any such examples?☺️

Hello magical human beings! ✨

I’m a Clinical Psychology doctoral candidate with a deep existential curiosity. I believe that studying consciousness is one way to better understand the sheer magnitude and nature of the Universe by looking at one complex piece of it.

To embrace and feed this curiosity came the realm of psychedelics (it’s quite miraculous that our neural makeup can dance with plant medicine to shift our perceptual experience). If you haven’t been exposed much to recent research on this, I encourage you to keep following this account to learn more!

Other content will simply be snippets of the adventures of my own life and how certain aspects help me evolve my own self, in hopes that some creativity sparks within you to also share what you do to grow! I’ve made my way to this platform because I believe we’re all here evolving to the next chapter of human existence and collaboratively paving the way.

I value your feedback & I appreciate your support. Let’s go on a journey together to expand and grow our awareness of life! #introductions
