Episode 104: The Path Of A Psychedelic Educator (feat. Ankhara Akeru)

With psychedelics exploding in popularity & having a resurgence of interest in the modern day, it is more important than ever to ensure we are each well informed on these topics, how to discern if they are right for us in our lives & aware of the tools that can assist us in these experiences. Amongst the many tools available to us within this space, none are more available & easier to tap into than our breath. Our breath is one of the universal principles between each of us as without it, we would cease to exist & therefore, we each have an opportunity to not only explore the various techniques available to us today, but to also make them our own by experimenting & building upon what we learn within this vast realm we call breathwork. Todays guest on the show is a world class breathwork instructor who works primarily in the realm of transformational breathwork, which focuses upon a direct application of conscious, connected breathing to bring forth the notion of letting go & surrendering & allow us to more easily apply these concepts to our lives as a whole. In addition, he is also an experienced psychedelic educator & speaks to his own experiences, shares his insights into this world at events such as the Detroit Psychedelic Conference & is passionate about de-stigmatizing these medicines & providing resources as to how to connect with them consciously & responsibly. In todays episode, we will be diving into how he was introduced to this world, the impact these medicines have had on him, what they have done to help him express more of his authentic self & much, much more!
