The night Juan Pablo took ayahuasca, he didn’t just step into a ceremony – he stepped into a nightmare. Within minutes, the fear took hold. He wasn’t seeing visions or having profound revelations. Instead, he felt like he was slowly losing his mind. And that was just the [...]
Nine years ago I wrote what I believe to be one of the best articles of my life. Back then, only my Somatic Experiencing colleagues understood I was predicting. (If memory serves, it did offend a fair few…) Patiently, I’ve been waiting to see if my predications were accurate. [...]
I’ve got a brainy question for you: Do you know the basics of chaos theory and the butterfly effect? I’ve also got a new video for you, but before you click over, hang in with me here for a few minutes to review the fundamentals of these two [...]
