No Acid Needed

Here is an introduction that my friend Nic Peterson wrote for Dr. Jeff Spencer, and I deem it great, he has allowed me to use it, so here it is :)

You likely have not heard of the person I am about to introduce to you...

But, I bet you have heard of some of these people...

* Tiger Woods?

* Lance Armstrong?

* How about the band U2?

*  Maybe Dave Asprey of Bulletproof Coffee?

* There are a couple of dozen CEOs from some of the most enduring brands in the Fortune 500 that have definitely heard of him...

* And there are 46 Olympic Medalists, many of them Gold that are very happy to have heard of him.

You see, this man has served as their Cornerman, elevating their performance and key strengths to new heights, so they can compete and consistently win at the highest level of their chosen fields.

This isn't just a guy that you're introduced to you that may or may not have something important to say, he is a gift that is bestowed upon you...

Your life will never be the same again.

I proudly GIFT to you, Dr. Jeff Spencer

A mini episode packing a punch and sharing the one most impactful takeaway regarding productivity from reflecting on the past 7 months of my life. Happy February! Let's FOCUS! Welcome to SEASON 3 of No Acid Needed. 

Often times, we overlook our own inner guidance and we pay greatly for that choice later on. Today's episode is an amalgamation of a few connected topics in relation to that.

This is for you if you sometimes struggle with...

- knowing what advice to listen to

- try to "think" your way through decision making

- over-rely on logic in your decision making process and seek "evidence" for your inner guidance

- letting go of what you know, in order to create the new

In this episode I am in conversation with Natalie Dyer about one of her latest studies. Natalie is a friend and an old colleague of mine from when we both did research at the Langer lab at Harvard University. She is one of the names you will often see in seminars/etc. for work related to psychedelics/alternative therapies/reiki, and more. This interview is about her study entitled "A Systematic Review of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy for Mental Health: An Evaluation of the Current Wave of Research and Suggestions for the Future" with Spencer W. Wheeler.

This episode is for you if...

- You would like to know more about why one would use psychedelics in a therapeutic setting

- You would like to hear a researcher's postmaterialist perspective on the value of this approach

We talk about...

- Where Natalie's interest in plant medicines started, and how she began her research

- The pros and cons of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy

- "Ego deaths" and "Bad Trips"

- Her personal experiences with plant medicines

- And so much more...

New Year's Episode to get high vibes flowing as you get ready to ring in 2021!

Let's begin 2021 focused, prioritizing ourselves, and opting out of anything that is costing us our growth.

A year where more and more of your actions are intentional, and where you can bring more of YOU here to actualize that which you desire to see in this world.

Cheers to making this the most opportunity-prone year yet...! 🍵  Deep bow to you with my tea in hand...

Victim & Perpetrator Dynamics. 

Happy Holidays! :) 

A brief foray into an interesting principle that connects momentum, anxiety, and the question of when to speak up, and act, vs. withholding, withdrawing, and inaction. You'll benefit from this episode if:

-You sometimes overthink things and get stuck on what to reveal vs. conceal to those around you.

-You sometimes find it challenging to decipher if sharing your thoughts, and/or taking a particular action would benefit you and those around you.

-You'd like more clarity on momentum

-You'd like to discover a hidden link/node to your fear network which may be triggered every time you experience anxiety, so you can ultimately feel less anxiety.

If you enjoy this episode, it would mean the world to me if you left a review. Thanks!

Hello November! This mini episode is a quick reminder that you don't have to believe your thoughts, especially when they come in the variety of building up something in your mind, that drives you to want to indulge in it, despite your better judgments.

What is non-striving? What do you have to gain from not trying as hard? It is this counter-intuitive approach to work, and being, in general, that may just give you what your body and mind have been asking for.

It is this aspect of mindfulness that brings us back into creating for creating's sake. To get out of that hamster wheel of endless goal posts and pleasure-less achievements, for good.
