I had an ayahuasca ceremony where I had a shamanic initiation and had an out of body experience. When I first started the plant medicine journey, the first thing I was guided to do was breathe. I was shown how powerful your connection to breath is and that moment came to me when I was following along with the replay of Day 2 for the hour long breath work experience. When I was learning how to journey, a shamanic practice of navigating the unseen realms, the teacher had us journey to our future self of our highest timeline and ask for guidance on how to get there. I was then guided through breath work and a meditation. Stillness is the point of acceleration and I am so grateful for the free 3 day webinar. I am grateful for the short breath work strategy we learned on Day 1 and I have been using them multiple times ever since. Thank you so much for creating this and offering access. I’ve been going through an intense kundalini awakening this past year and it’s at a point where I’ve been free falling. This practice has helped me in so many ways. I feel nourished and strong enough to keep going. This is beautiful. This is divine. I see you ✨❤️

Let’s talk about the little white lies we tell others and ourselves to escape a perceived humiliation that is just a story in our head. Not a real humiliation. Not an actual event. Just a story — a script we wrote, rehearsed, and then reacted to as if it were truth. We tell these lies because we think they protect others. We tell them because we think they protect us. But really, it’s all the same protection — shielding ourselves from their reaction, their disappointment, their imagined judgment. It’s self‑protection wearing a polite little costume. These lies are defense mechanisms dressed up as courtesy. They let us sidestep discomfort, sidestep accountability, sidestep the sting of being seen without our armor. Owning your own choices is scary — of course it is. But it’s also where our power lives. Every time we dodge a truth, we hand our power over. We hand it over willingly in hopes of finding safety — but what really happens is the story in our heads takes over, and we hide behind it, hoping it will keep us safe. Then there is the constant dismissing of things that bother us? That doesn’t make us evolved. It makes us resentful. We swallow the truth our truth until it turns sharp. At some point, those little exaggerations cross the line into lies. The line blurs. And as it blurs, we lose ourselves — not dramatically, but slowly, quietly. We start living inside the story in our head, the program, the pattern, the social conditioning that tells us to be agreeable, easy, unbothered. It validates itself while burying your wants and desires under layers of “it’s fine.” And when you live like that long enough, you don’t lose your integrity — you lose your clarity. You lose access to what you truly want because the lie has been choosing for you. We don’t lie because we’re deceitful. We lie because we’re scared. But it is in the truth that we will find grace and infinate space to be our true selves. And meeting yourself doesn’t require perfection — just honesty and a willingness to stop hiding from a humiliation that never existed.
