Conscious Life Practices & Psilocybin, with Dr. Lida Fatemi

One of Mother Earth's greatest gifts to humanity is the network of fungi that live below our feet, known as mycelium. This network restores contaminated soil, cleans up toxic radiation, and is an intelligent life-form that allows all plants it connects with to communicate with each other through its rooted network. One of the most controversial plant medicines, magic mushrooms, is part of this incredible and life-sustaining wisdom. Banned in 1968, this ancient medicine was kept from the population and criminalized, eliminating access to its boundless therapeutic benefits. Recently, more and more states are beginning to legalize this ancient medicine for the healing of trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and a multitude of other mental health disorders. We must understand how to approach, integrate, and utilize it with the utmost integrity and care. My experiences with psilocybin include experimenting with large doses in high school, microdosing, and ceremonial containers. In the moments where I've honored the medicine, it has opened my mind and heart in ways that have changed my life. For this reason, I was so excited to have Dr. Lida Fatemi on the most recent episode of The Hippie Moms Podcast to help us understand the benefits, science, dosage, and integration of this ancient medicine. As a physician who suffered from burnout and was haunted by her trauma, Dr. Lida was guided to find more holistic methods in helping herself, other physicians, and her patients to heal from trauma and other mental disorders. Instead of prescribing pills, Dr. Lida has chosen to integrate conscious life practices and plant medicine to elevate and optimize patients' well-being and create a sustainable life they love. She is a trailblazer in the psychedelic movement and medical field. In this episode, she shares her journey of trauma and how specific conscious life practices integrated with psilocybin help her and her patients shift from anxiety-ridden living to a more present and heart-filled life. If you're curious about psilocybin and are open to a perspective that blends science and spirituality, this episode is designed specifically for you!
