New Earth is here! Have you felt the energy shift? Or heard about the Schumann resonance frequency changing over night? In this episode, Mama Rainbow dives into the cosmos with the guidance of magic mushrooms & cannabis to explore what New Earth is all about. She discusses the effects we may be feeling due to the change in energy along with what to expect, how to embrace it, and why living in a higher state of consciousness is ESSENTIAL to receive the ultimate abundance with this new paradigm. Mama Rainbow offers her intuitive insights for New Earth via channeling, magic, and divination. Rainbow Warriors, our time has come and this is only the beginning. May this inspire you to elevate into higher states of frequency and being, so dope it be.

This session Mama Rainbow discusses how your moontime aka your period, is a psychedelic experience women journey through every month. Through her own innerstanding, Mama Rainbow analyzes the process of the menstrual cycle & compares it to similar experiences with magic mushrooms & other plant medicines. She points out that not many have connected the monthly shedding of the uterus to be a psychedelic trip & raises a few reasons why this may be so. Unfortunately talking about the menstrual cycle considered to be "taboo" in our current culture despite it being a natural occurrence for women- or those who experience monthly bleeding. Mama Rainbow aims to break this stigma by discussing why menstruation is powerful, sacred & a remembrance of the womb being the bridge between the Void, the Stars & Mother Earth & so much more. In this episode Mama Rainbow also shares ways that she ceremonially works with her menstrual cycle & moonblood in order empower herself, other women, & to further tap into the ancient magic & wisdom that lives within the womb. Mama Rainbow even proposes the concept of a suntime for men too. May this Moontime episode raise awareness of the importance of honoring your monthly bleeding & inspire you to work with your moonblood. So dope it be.

Mama Rainbow discusses one of her all time favorite topics ever- DREAMS! In this episode, she discusses her years of personal experience with dreaming, & shares how dreaming is a gateway into our subconscious, our daily lives, past lives, prophecies & more. Mama Rainbow also talks about how one can remember their dreams, why they are so important for us to pay attention to, how you can use cannabis to enhance your dream super powers, & how dreams are truly the gateway between the ethereal realms & our current reality. She even points out how dreams are universally accepted across a variety of cultures, religions, & belief systems too. Without dreams, this podcast, A Meaningful Dream or the name Mama Rainbow wouldn't exist. May this inspire you to honor your dreams on a daily basis, so dope it be.

Higher Consciousness relaunches with a renewed direction! Mama Rainbow shares why Higher Consciousness took a break for over a year- to mourn the sudden loss of her cat Gatsby. In this episode, Mama Rainbow discusses her experience of unexpectedly losing a beloved pet/fur-baby to unknown sickness. She goes in depth about how she coped with his passing, the unpredicted magic that came from it, what it meant, & even the gifts that came from tragedy. Mama Rainbow speaks on why pets are truly spirit animals who have lessons to teach us & so much more. May the story of The Great Gatsby inspire you to love your fur-children more through & see how their deaths can be blessings in disguise. So dope it be.

This week Liz & Dave are highlighting the Mother of psychedelics- Ayahuasca. Mama Aya is a beautiful plant medicine that has been used for many centuries in Indigenous culture, passed down through oral traditions. Rooted in the Amazon, Ayahuasca was discovered through guidance of a dream & songs of the  Ayahuasca & the Chakruna plants themselves. Since then, Shamans have been using this tool as a gateway into unknown & for its powerful healing abilities within individuals & community. Ayahuasca has the power to heal deep rooted trauma, depression, addictions & provide great clarity within one self. Liz & Dave share their knowledge about this potent, & sacred plant medicine & even share what a typical Ayahuasca ceremony entails. Enjoy the cosmic ride with Mary Jane into the depths of this potent jungle plant medicine. 

Liz & Dave are back after an unexpected two week break! Diving back into psychedelics with Mary Jane, in this episode we discuss Iboga! This masculine plant medicine derives from the Iboga tree root in Gabon, Africa & has been used in ancient healing ceremonies for centuries. Iboga is known for healing addictions, physical ailments, depression, spiritual development/evolution & more. Many call it God, the Father of psychedelics, & say it has the ability to light the path to your true destiny. We share what a traditional Iboga ceremony entails, how it's performed, & even how people of all ages partake in this ceremony. Liz & Dave also raise the question of whether creating a synthetic version is necessary for this endangered plant medicine.

Peyote is next in line for our psychedelic season! This cactus is a wonderful example of a powerful & sacred plant medicine grown wild on Earth. The use of Peyote dates back to 4,000 BC in Indigenous cultures such as the: Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Mayan, Mexican & more. Traditionally done in ceremony & ritual, in a tee-pee, eaten raw, or made as a drink for its psycho-active effects. Many Shamans have used Peyote for healing people from sickness, illness, & disease. Much like other discoveries of plant medicines, Peyote is said to have sung to the people.

Currently this sacred medicine is receiving international attention due to its powerful ability for spiritual evolution. We can find evidence of Bufo Alvarius all the way back to Mayan & Olmec cultures. Traditionally, this was kept secret by the shamans of the indigenous people, but over time it grew in popularity due to the work of consciousness explorer & researcher Ken Nelson. Thanks to Hamilton Morris, the world knows the true story of Al Most aka Ken Nelson.
