Guided Meditation – Lose Your Mind & Come to Your Senses

Many people (especially in our Western Culture) choose to live mostly in their 'heads', thinking primarily of the future and "what's next" or remembering the past. Somehow our mind seems to convince us that the "next moment" must be better than the one we're in now. While there's nothing inherently wrong with thinking, it's important to be able to be aware of our thoughts and be intentional about what we think. There's a saying I like: "The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master." When we become lost in distracting thoughts or daydreams it takes our attention away from this present moment. However, if we bring our awareness into our body it helps to bring us back into the Here and Now. Exploring our body sensations can also improve our mind-body connection and body awareness, and support relaxation, recovery and healing. To support this process I've created this [...]

My Breakthrough DMT Experience – 1st Trip Report

In this post I want to share something a little unusual… something quite different from the “health and fitness” content that I normally share. I wanted to talk about my first experience with the compound called DMT, with this article to accompany the video I recorded immediately after the “trip”. To be honest, at first I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make this public at all, but after posting the video on my other (lesser known) channel and blog, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well received it was. It seems that this is a topic that many people are interested in, so I decided to put myself out there and post it all here on my main blog as well. I hope you find it interesting… enjoy with a curious open mind. First of all, let me say that this experience took place in a country and situation which [...]
