Ep. 197: How Psychedelics, Hypnosis & Biohacking Can Help You Create The Life Of Your Dreams (feat. Elia Bean)

For any of us who love psychedelic medicines , one thing that quickly becomes apparent is their ability to rapidly transform our mental landscape , including shifting our belief systems , architecting new stories for us to live through and ultimately allowing us to wake up to the truth of who and what we are as divine beings living out a human experience .

Now , that being said , we can't necessarily connect with psychedelics at all times , which begs the question of what we can do in our everyday lives to continue to reveal the fabric of our mental landscape so that we can ensure that what we are growing in this landscape is by conscious design rather than unconscious inheritance .

Today's guest in the show is a woman who is a master of hypnosis , biohacking and , of course , psychedelic medicines , and , over the course of her life , she has made it her mission to live her life as an example of what can occur when we choose to wake up in the dream and ultimately create the best dream possible for us to not only live ourselves , but to

also inspire those around us to dream bigger as well . So please help me in welcoming onto the show my dear friend , elia Bean . Elia , what is up ? I am so excited to have you on the show .

You know , when you and I first got connected to one another , I was so excited to interview you because I talk often on the show about other things I've utilized to access psychedelic states , and one of those things is hypnosis , and I don't pretend to know a whole lot about it , but I go through , you know , guided videos on YouTube and I've had a QHT session

before with this amazing otherworldly type individual who I got to get on the show . Sometimes his name is Don , he's out of , like , the Sedona area , and so I had a QHT session with him and that was the only like really full on hypnosis session I've experienced .

So I'm really excited to dive into that mindset stuff and all the amazing stuff that you utilize in your practice and that you've done for yourself . But before we get there , I want to create some context right . So , since this podcast is this one time on psychedelics and we were just chatting about some ceremony before we hit record .

How did Elia find her way into psychedelics ? And we were just chatting about some ceremony before we hit record ? How did Elia find her way into psychedelics ? Was this something that you know you were always open to in your life ? Was it something that came later on in your life ?

And then we'll kind of go into how psychedelic medicines have catalyzed everything that your life has turned into right and what role they played there . But before we get there , how'd you first get interested in these medicines ?

So , yeah , so , of course , cannabis , you know mushrooms all that stuff was was seen as something wrong . You know , something that was like evil or you know whatever you want to call it , and but it really took me . It took me a while .

I think it was close to my being in my thirties , after I went through divorce , and that's where it really started to take me more into this like conscious path . You know , like after I got right , before actually I got divorced , or this was actually . I got divorced .

Yes , I got into thanatology , which is the study death and um , I , I major in marriage and family studies , but I never really practiced as a therapist , and so it wasn't until I became a hypnotherapist that I started practicing , uh , as a , you know , full-time , uh , hypnotherapist .

But anyways , like take going into that route of that path of consciousness , that's what really started to ignite this curiosity of psychedelics . And you know , cannabis and all this like plant medicine really . And so I think I was , I was old there , probably back in you know , like in my 35s or something like that . I don't know .

I'm 41 now , so there was one time I just kept having this like almost like an urge . It's almost like something , or someone was telling me like you have to try this , you have to , you have to like , you have to like get yourself into it , or something like that . Right , something was calling me , it was like a call , something was calling me .

It was like a call and anyway , so I did it , and it was the most beautiful , profound experience I ever had , probably in my whole entire life , at least in this lifetime , and that to me , and I was being guided , to guide this other person to heal , whatever it is that she was going through . But it was also helping me heal too , and understanding .

So so many things right . So one one thing . For me , it was like understanding that everything comes from love , even if it's the most , like you know , horrible , chaotic thing that has happened to you . It just came to me that I'm like , oh my God , like everything is really just linked to love . There is nothing that is the opposite of love .

There's just a lack of love , but there's nothing opposite of love . Anyhow , that just kind of took me into that route of like really being more understanding , more about psychedelics .

And I'm grateful that I also tried it after I was already in this path of consciousness , because it gave me the opportunity to treat it as it should be treated with sacredness and so you know , and to do it in a state of sacred ceremony for me .

So it doesn't matter if I just do it at home and it's just me and my bestie , it's to me , it's still a ceremony .

You know , I still go with my Palo Santo and my you know all these other things that I do and my incense , and you know I go around and clearing and cleaning everything , the space , and then and then we sit in front of each other and we , we set our intentions on on the medicine and what we want the medicine to do for us , and and that's how it's been ,

that's how I've been treating it , and so moving here to Mexico has also given me that opportunity to be even more open and receiving more of this type of different types of ceremonies , right ? So I started practicing more of like Temazcal too , like Temascout 2 , and understanding the sacredness of it and how this was safe by .

You know , our ancestors really wanted to save this information and pass it on , and literally many of them , you know , lost their lives to be able to pass this information to their children and the children of their children until us .

And that , to me , has been also oh my God , oh , it's just , it's been so beautiful for me to be able to be part of that and an understanding and just being so open to receiving more of that medicine from our ancestors .

And anyways , that's , that's been my experience with psychedelics and cannabis and you know pretty much , you know everything that you can think of that it's in in that world of the . You know , the psychedelic world to me it's um , and I'm a scientist too , so I would try it in the name of science . I started actually practicing with another hypnotherapist .

Yes , it was like let's do it in the name of science , and so we would try . You know different kinds of things and , oh my God , it was always the most beautiful experiences and I believe that it was because it was always with that intention of understanding more about the psychedelic world . And , you know , receiving more of that information .

You know what do we need to receive ? And connecting Like to me , it's always about being able to connect to a higher realm , to higher consciousness , higher consciousness beings too , who ?

The very first time that I had my experience with mushrooms , I was receiving so much information and I was having basically it was a telepathically communication with another being and he was guiding me and I was being able to guide this other person and then , after we were done , you know , guiding the other person , it was almost like he just I don't know if

it's a he or she , but I'm going to call it a he but it was like this , just information which just kept coming and coming and coming Right , and , and then it's like right , right , at the end of it it was almost like oh , and , by the way , it was almost like oh and right before I go Right , it's like , by the way , it's like you're not human and I

was like , wait , what the fuck I'm like ? oh , you're not human . And I was like , wait , what the fuck ? I'm like ? You're giving me all this information and now you're telling me this , like wait , hold on . And now you're leaving . I'm like , wait , wait . So , anyways , that's when I first learned about , you know , hybrids and anyways , that's what I was told .

And during that time I had no idea what that meant . I had no idea what that meant . I didn't know much about Dolores Cannon . You know , like I said , I studied hypnotherapy in a very more of a clinical kind of setting , right . So for me it was like all about the science of it .

You know the neuroscience of it , how the brain works and how the mind works and the rules of the mind and regression therapy , of course . But it wasn't so much about the divinity of it and the sacred work that this means and how really like . So it's medicine . Like to me , that's also . So it's medicine . Like to me , that's also .

Some people who are very knowledgeable about plant medicine they have told me that having a hypnotherapy session with me has been like taking ayahuasca , basically , and that's been so beautiful for me to see that , right , I mean , it's my job , it's my research , it's been like my purpose and understanding that this is my calling too and so it's what I love to do ,

you know . But again , for me it was more into the scientific kind of method of it and now I see it as a divine work . It really is all about divine science . Basically , this is divine science . That's what it is .

It really is just me being able to be that open vessel to bring in that you know , higher level of consciousness so that they can just basically do the work you know and heal the other person . As long as the other person is open to receive that healing , then they can heal pretty much anything .

I mean , I know Dolores Cannon and I started to just recently , not so long ago , I started to channel more of Dolores Cannon and that's what I quote her so much . She's been one of my guides . She still is .

I like it like correction , she still is , and so every time you hear me talking about her is because I'm quoting her , because it's really just her talking , and so you know , that's been another amazing experience for me .

I feel so , so , so honored to be able to have that guidance from her and , honestly , like every time I go to work now and I'm going to go see a patient , it's like I almost feel like I'm .

You know , I pray , I always pray , but especially whenever I'm going to see a patient , I make sure that I'm preparing myself spiritually , mentally , to be able to just like just , you know , I'm here , I'm here for you and I'm here If you need me , just use me . However , you need me so that we can help this person heal , and that's another .

That's been such a humble thing for me to do and I even get like a little . I get very sensitive now and a little emotional too . So if I cry , you know it's just me being emotional .

For me is that there's this unspoken awareness that we both know what we're talking about here , like we both know what we're talking about where we're trying to do with words , but it's beyond words , right like there's no way we can ever capitulate or really describe a psychedelic experience of words . That doesn't mean we don't want to try , right like you know .

And having these and having these conversations is a big step there . And you know , one of the things that you know I loved everything you just shared . It was so beautiful and thank you for sharing all that .

And one of the through lines I saw that you know psychedelics have really done for me has been to allow me to have the direct experience of what oneness really is . And you know that then started a big journey in my life of figuring out like what the hell was that I just experienced . And growing up , you know I was never religious .

I was I wouldn't say never spiritual . You know I was a goth kid in high school , but I always knew well enough to not say I was an atheist , like I knew there was something there but I never knew what to call it .

And I'm very grateful for my parents never pushing anything on me because , having been a part of so many of my clients' lives and my friends' lives that were so turned off to religion , spirituality et cetera because of their upbringing , I fortunately missed out on all that .

So I started with a clean slate and when I got into psychedelics I was like whoa , whatever that I just experienced is what I know intuitively to be God or creator or source , or whatever these people talk about is is what I know intuitively to be God or creator or source , or whatever these people talk about .

But the thing was that when I experienced it , there was no dogma there . It wasn't like I got there and it was like , hey , you can never eat meat again or hey , you need to do this , you need to do that . It was just unconditional love , right . And you know it's funny because I recently read a book that is my favorite book of all time .

I think I've mentioned it a couple of times in the show , but there's probably a reason , listeners , that I keep mentioning in this book . It's called the disappearance of the universe have you ever read that book before ?

But you know , part of the challenge was I ended up going to a certain institution , let's say , um , and part of the challenge with that was they had a lot of dogma attached to this stuff . It was more of like you have to do these rituals every day and you have to buy the next class . That's five grand , and after you buy that it's the next one .

So I kind of got the the the full one one when I was going through it of like I don't think it's this complex because when I've experienced God or source or whatever , through medicine or through meditation or through walking in the woods or whatever it is , it's simple .

You know , like , and that's what makes it so hard to describe is that I think for most of us I won't project it , I'll say for me I thought God must be this super complex thing . I mean , you look at religion and spirituality .

There's all these hoops you got to jump through and all these things , and what I realized in doing psychedelics and reading Disappearance of the Universe and going to that institution and going through that . Was that actually ? Complexity is just the ego conspiring to get us farther and farther away from God . God is actually very simple and God is simplicity .

That's why you can find God anywhere , right ? If God was complex , you'd have to find him at a very specific place , or find it at a very specific place , you'd have to do all these things . But if God is all knowing and all intelligent , et cetera , why would it make itself so unattainable ? Right ? That doesn't make any sense .

That's a distortion there , right ?

So when I read Disappearance of the Universe , you know it was kind of like a psychedelic experience in a book that I experienced , where the whole story and the whole book is this guy , gary Renard , who's the author , and in the beginning he lives in Maine and he basically has these two ascended masters start appearing on his couch and he wasn't a very overly

spiritual guy or anything before this and they start basically sharing all of these keys and codes with him . And the book is extremely funny too , and that's one of the other things I've noticed is that even in the spiritual communities , if they're too serious , I get the hell out of there , right ?

If the space is not filled with laughter or crying , because crying is really just laughter , reimagined , and vice versa but like if we aren't allowing ourselves to laugh and celebrate and have joy . It's overly serious and that's more of the ego .

So when I read this book , it was hilarious how these ascendant masters were really friggin funny and the book is just a dialogue back and forth between them . You know it's a channel text , but it's's really fun , like it's a fun book to read and it's really hard to put down .

And what they open up in that is that basically , the whole idea of this reality is just one big conspiracy theory . And what conspiracy theory is is the ego conspiring to get us away from God . And the way it does it is by making us believe that this dream we're in right , because we're not truly here right now .

I mean , yes , in a paradoxical way we are , but really we've never left source as well . So the way that they describe it is that we had a dream , essentially , and in this dream we asked what if there was something else than God ?

And because of that thought , the ego was created in this whole dream that's already been lived out , right , we're really just watching it in replay exists , and in this dream , you know , if we choose to forgive ourselves and forgive all of these things , that really never really happened . Because , let's say , elia kicks me , right ?

Well , my ego is going to tell me that Elia , someone different , just kicked me also someone different . When you start understanding the true nature of reality at least according to this book and what I've experienced in psychedelics you realize there is no one else .

So there's just one dreamer here manifesting itself as 8 billion something different selves , and so the idea is not that the dream is not important . It's very important . But the idea is to make sure you have the best dream possible , and you can only really do that by remembering who you are and , essentially , lucid dreaming , right ?

We all know the microcosm dream world of being able to wake up within the dream , but we can do that and we are doing that . That's what we see with , like , the awakening journey that everyone's going on right now and the consciousness shift of the planet . We're all starting to wake up within the dream , and when you do that , you get to have your cake .

You get to eat it too , and it's gluten-free , right , which is my silly statement , for that you know it's like you get to enjoy the dream , but you also know it's a dream , and I think that's what psychedelics are also here to remind us is like , hey , nothing you do matters , but it's very important , you do it .

That paradoxical truth one of my favorite quotes of all time , and I think they're specifically here understanding that the ego would do its way , do its job to get us farther away from God . Its way do its job to get us farther away from God .

And sometimes , oftentimes , we don't know what we don't know , we don't know how much we've forgotten about our real home . And so these psychedelics have a way of blasting everything apart , very similar to hypnotherapy , to reveal to us who and what we truly are .

And once we experience that , even once , we never can fall as deep into the ego's illusion as we once did .

And so that book , psychedelics , hypnotherapy , all these things are my favorite things in life , because they continue to remind me to forget less and remember more of who I truly am , what's going on here , and that we're all one , and that we all get to walk each other home , as Ram Dass says . So it's really cool .

Like what am I in this little , you know , beach town and literally right on the other side of san diego , like right on the other side of the wall , and you know ? So I get to go back and forth . So I'm actually today , after after this , I'm heading to san diego with , uh , my family , and that's , and that's the beauty of it .

It's like I feel like I'm in two worlds at once . But I get to go over there , I get to have almost like the worldly experience , and then I get to come back to my safe heaven over here , and that's what this place is to me now . It is my safe heaven .

It is probably considered one of the most unsafe cities in the world , the most dangerous cities in the world , but this is where I found my peace and I live right by the beach , and so I get to . That's when I started really getting more into biohacking and I was already doing it , but this really like took me to another level .

Being here and studying more about Dr Joe Dispenza becoming supernatural that just really hit a completely different experience for me , and so I started I get back into . I got back into running . I used to be a marathon runner .

Like years ago I stopped or quit running because of ankle injuries , not from running , but just from , like , falling and you know hiking and stuff like that . So I quit running at all , like just quit it . When I moved here , it was about almost two years ago I started running again .

Well , I started walking first and I was like well , you know what I'm going to start practicing more , just being in nature and you know , walking on the beach barefoot and doing all this like you know natural things and healing naturally , and even with my baby . This is this was the first time , and so my oldest is 19 . My second is 16 .

He's going to be 17 on January 2 . And then my third child . She's not two yet , she's going to be two on January as well . The three of them were born by C-section , my last C-section . I didn't have to take any pain medication after the C-section , okay .

So during the surgery , yes , of course they put local anesthetic , but after the surgery I didn't want to take any pain medication because I knew that pain medication actually slows down the natural process of healing in the body .

So I was like , nope , I'm not going to take anything , I'm just going to stay in a state of meditation , in a state of putting myself basically on self-hypnotizing myself , like all the time basically hypnotizing myself like all the time basically .

And I didn't have to use uh , I think I , I used my you know minor like tylenol or something like that , for two , three days , the first two , three days , and then after that I was like I'm , I'm done with this , I actually use once I was off the out of the hospital .

I started using this like patches with cannabis and I would just put those patches right on the incision and that was just healing . It healed so much faster . I started walking . I mean , I was driving by day four , whereas my two other previous pregnancies I couldn't drive until , I think , maybe a month later . That's when I started driving .

And the reason why the main reason why is because of the medication . So I asked my doctor , like right before I left the hospital , and I said , like would I be able to drive soon ? And she was like I don't see why not . You're not taking any pain medication , so you should be fine . And she's like can you , you know , turn this and this to the size ?

And I was like yeah , I mean yeah , I was like yeah , and then the nurse will come and check my incision . She'd be like wow , like it's healing really fast . And and I was like I was standing and wanting to walk like right away , I mean not like right after the surgery , but probably like the next day .

I was like oh , I think I'm ready to start walking , I think I'm ready to , you know , get dressed myself . And uh , and the nurse was like no , no , no , you just had surgery yesterday , you know , or or something like that , and I was able to heal a lot faster .

I can just tell how the way the body is designed , it's designed to heal itself , and so that was a big testament for me to be able to do that . And then , when I started running at the beach , I started actually running on the water like just , you know , like like right at the edge of it , like the water's just hitting the , you know the waves .

So I started running like that on the beach , barefoot . I'm not kidding , but there is times where some sometimes I feel this tiny little like electrical , you know , like things on my feet , and it was like , well , I mean , obviously , the water it's ionic , the the body is electromagnetic .

I'm like , well , and I'm not wearing shoes , so there's nothing really there to stop that Right , and I was like , wow , it was healing my ankles , it was healing my body , that's what it was doing to the point where I started sprinting again , I'm not kidding , one time I was sprinting so fast I was afraid that I was going to start flying .

I was going to start flying and I I don't , I , at this point , I don't have a doubt that that's going to happen sometime .

Just because I'm just going to take off right now that I'm really training more , like I'm running more , I'm sprinting more , and it's always with that mindset of , you know , healing the body and always upgrading the body , upgrading the body rightjuvenate . I don't believe that the body should age at all . This is something that Dolores Cannon talks about too .

You know , we should not be aging . Like I said , I'm 41 . I have three kids . At this point , I'm okay with having more children , and my fear before was like , well , I have three C-sections , you know I might not be able to have more kids , or all this like different things that you know the doctors will come out with .

I mean , I know there's a lot of women out there who go through thinking that they might have cervical cancer or they're going to eventually have cervical cancer . My experience with that is just like run , run , run from that , like I avoid hospitals . I avoid them so much .

That is what really put me into this path of natural medicine , me into this path of natural medicine . This was a few years ago , probably like back in 2019 . I was being told that I was going to have cervical cancer eventually or that I could , you know , potentially have it .

So I was going to the doctors probably every six months , and every six months they would take like a little piece you know of and test it and see if that had , um , you know , any cancerous cells . Well , the thing is that it was because it was always coming as abnormal .

I'm like , well , yeah , it is abnormal because , first of all , you're not fucking human . So of course , it's gonna come out abnormal .

And then , uh , and this came out actually during a uh , hypnotherapy session with one of my friends who's also a hypnotherapist , and it was like we keep telling her but she just keeps on , like you know , trying to test her body . She just keeps testing her body .

It's like , oh my God , like when are you going to like hear us , when are you going to understand that you're just different , right . And so that's what I tell most of my clients , most of my patients , are like , well , you're just different , it's okay , you know , friend , it's okay .

And then , after they go through a spiritual awakening experience during the session , they understand it's like , oh yeah , I'm not even from here . So I mean , that has just been my experience with that , with biohacking and psychedelics and hypnotherapy . I think those three things have gone , you know , hand to hand .

For me it has to be , you know , it's even like the three , right , the trinity three , three . For me that's just like I have my rule of three , two . If you know , if you cannot go because I have become always also very disciplined If you cannot go three days without something , then that thing owns you .

And so that's another thing that I practice too , but I notice just having a combination of those three things of you know how important it is to take care of the body . And while we were doing the ceremony yesterday for my friend , it's almost like her first time to do it .

She's done microdosing before , but this was her first time kind of like doing a little bit more . It wasn't a microdose , it wasn't a full dose , but I just gave her enough for her to be kind of in the middle . But it got to the point where it was like I'm like can you see those paintings , can you see them moving right now ?

And she was like okay , yeah , I see that now , right . And then I was like well , slowly , you're going to start to see yourself , maybe a little bit different . And I said I usually see myself purple . And then she looks at me and I was like oh my God , your veins . You're like , is that normal ? And I was like yes , that is normal .

That's just like it's because you can see it live . That's what it is right . It's like the frequency of it , the frequency of the body . It's vibrating all the time , but we don't see it with our like regular eyes , right .

But when we are in that state of like psychedelic state or hypnotic state or whatever state that you are deciding to , whatever method you decide to do , but you're able to see how it's vibrating , the frequency of it , it , and you could almost see it moving .

And and so she was like , oh , my god , yeah , and she's like looking at her veins and I'm looking at mine , right , and we we're just like , and I was like , and I feel like this is why it's so important for us to understand that , even though we are not the body , we still have a body here .

It is our vehicle , it is our vehicle and so it's like we better . You know , this is why we need to take care of it . This is the importance for me . That has been why I have become so disciplined with my health . You know , I was already . I was already a weird kid growing up . You know . I think I was like eight years old when I quit eating chips .

Just like that . One day I just decided chips were gross and I just was just going to stop eating chips . And then I think I was in fifth grade when I decided to stop drinking soda . I was like soda's not good for you , so I'm going to stop drinking soda .

And now you know , every once in a while I might have , you know , a soda , I might have a drink , of course , but I do take really good care of my body now . Now , I don't have those things that you were talking about earlier of how , like , oh , I'm not going to eat meat . I went through that stage .

Of course , I went through my vegan state too , okay so not judgment here . So I went through that state and , honestly , what really got me out of that was the fact that I became pregnant .

Now , when I became pregnant , I was vegan and I wasn't eating , you know , I wasn't eating any meat , I wasn't , I was just , you know , plant-based kind of diet and I was pretty healthy .

I was pretty healthy , of course , but during that time when I was pregnant , I was noticing that when , of course , with the doctors and tests and all this stuff , the baby wasn't growing at a normal rate , to the point where she was in the 17 percentile , which is way below the mid .

And one night I had this dream , and it was a vivid dream , right , and in that dream I could taste it , I could smell it , I could see it and just like it was so vivid , I was back in my home , back here in Veracruz , my parents' home where I grew up , and I was cooking this like pot roast .

I was already at the point where I didn't , you know , I didn't really feel like I needed meat at all , I didn't crave it , like nothing , I didn't like the smell of it anymore , so I was totally fine without eating meat .

But that dream , I was just craving it , so much to the point where I cut , like I'm like , I'm like I'm just going to cut a tiny little sliver of it , right . So I cut the little piece and I mean the meat , first of all , was like it must have been grass fed . Ok , it was like grass fed meat . It was so tender , oh my God . So I ate it .

And oh my God , I was like , wow , this is so good , this is so good . I woke up . My friend in San Diego I was still in San Diego at that time calls me and she's vegan and she's like hey , let's hang out , let's go eat at this place . I hear that they have burgers and all this other food . And I was like burgers .

But like you are , aren't you like ? You know , like vegan . So he's like , oh , yeah , but I'll have something else . You know , they have a vegan burger in there too . And I was like , oh , ok , cool . And I was like you know what ? I had this dream . Are you okay with me ?

You know , I don't want to want you to feel like I'm disrespecting you , but I'm going to have meat . Because they had a grass-fed burger in their menu and I was like I'm gonna , I'm gonna have a burger , just so you know , okay . And she was like , oh yes , totally , that's , that's totally fine . So I went in there , I ate the whole thing .

Oh my god , it was like the most delicious burger I had had in in a long time . After that I started eating meat again . I was like my body's probably just asking for it , right . Well , it wasn't just my body , it was also my baby asking for it too . I'm not kidding , um .

But a month later went back to get the test and check , to see ultrasounds and see how she was growing . She went from a 17 percentile or 16 percentile to a 57 percentile within a month after I started eating red meat .

So to me , I have so much respect for people who , you know , are , you know , able to to sustain a plant-based diet , but to me it's sacred meat and I need my sacred meat too , and the body needs it too .

And and not just that , especially as a woman , we probably need it more so than men , especially when a woman is going through a you know , pregnancy where she is everything , everything that is her is going into creating this new life . You're creating a whole new universe . So I mean , for some , you know , someone might say that , yeah , you don't need meat .

I'm sorry , but you do . The body needs meat . You know , there's certain things that we cannot get it from anywhere else , and there is a reason why God created animals and put them in on this earth and said you know , eat it Don't . You know , don't consume it completely . Eat it sporadically , right , Like I don't eat meat every single day .

I don't feel like I need to eat meat every single day , but , as a woman , whenever I'm around , especially my period , my body tells me . So , women , whenever I'm around , especially my period , my body tells me , it already tells me it's like meat . You know , you need to start eating meat . This few days I just start doing that .

And you know , again , this is more on that , like kind of like simplicity versus complexity , right , I started to think that whatever experience I was going to have if I went up in a dose , right Like , say , I went from eating normally two grams of mushrooms to now five , let's say right , like say , I went from eating normally two grams of mushrooms to now

five , let's say , right , I figured I'm like , wow , this is going to be more complex and more like more you know , intricate things showed to me and all these things what I found is that there's two parts to that . Number one yes , you could have a more complex experience , right , it's possible .

But number two , if you're connecting with a high level entity or a high level source of consciousness or a high level being , you'll know that , because the high level beings , they say very short and simple things that will blow your absolute reality apart , versus if you're talking to or connecting with an entity that is very complex .

I usually tell people , like when I'm talking to them about , like who to talk to in that experience and how to protect yourself . I usually say , if there's someone giving you a lot of complexity , that's usually not an entity you want to talk to .

So this is the experience where I realized that , because I had an experience where I get to the breakthrough point and all I hear is whatever you believe , come , and that's what I heard and it echoed throughout the entire experience right , whatever you believe , you become .

And it wasn't until years later where I found Joe Dispenza and now Gary Renard and these people where , when you really break it down , if we are God right , experiencing itself , everything is God right , reality , be whatever we believe it to be . You know , and I think that's where people get it really messed up .

They're like , oh well , if I'm spiritual , I have to do this , or if I'm , you know , if my family's this party , I have to vote this party , and all these things and ways in which we thirst , trap ourselves , when in reality , it can't be both right . Either we're God and God is all powerful , or we're not , but we can't have .

If we're God and we're all powerful , then how can anything , how can anything be objective , right . How can eating meat be objectively bad if we're the dreamer dreaming the dream ?

So it's really like self responsibility to make sure that whatever dream we're creating is the one that's in alignment with us and to not get so attached to what other people have told us spirituality is or any of these things Like , at the end of the day , I'm someone who eats meat . I make sure the meat I eat is regeneratively raised .

I make sure I'm putting my money into the correct farmers that allowing these animals to thrive . I went there , hunted , you know , and that's what I control in it . But I have so many friends that have gone vegan , vegetarian , et cetera . Vegetarian is a little easier because you can . You can drink broad milk and eat eggs .

I know people that succeed very well with that . But in terms of veganism , I just personally have not met anyone that I would consider thriving that is on a vegan diet and that's not to down talk Again , people have their own choices in life .

They're the dreamer , they're dreaming their dream , dream whatever reality you want , but just don't ever try to tell anyone that their reality or their dream is wrong , like that's their dream , that they're dreaming right . So if you want to be vegan , great . You want to be carnivore , great .

Whatever works good for your body and makes you feel good is ultimately what you should choose , because , based on your subjective experience , in this illusion that is a dream whatever allows you to feel the closest to God . There is no good or bad . That's all duality .

And people like Jesus and Buddha you know they weren't teaching not to eat meat in these things . Those things were put into religion from people that were dualistic because they didn't understand the idea of non-dualism , which is really the idea of if there's only oneness , then there can't be somethingness as well .

And what I mean by that is , if there's only oneness , there can't be things other than oneness . There can't be , well , oneness . But you also have to follow these certain rules to do these certain things . Like there's , those two are not mutually exclusive . You know , like , yeah , you know , if we're truly god , then we can create whatever reality we want .

And at the same level as we start to come into these powers , it's very clear on what side we want to create from right . Like you know , the law of one breaks it down as negative and positive polarity .

So , yes , as a dreamer dreaming a dream , you can choose violence , you can choose harsh things , but your soul is eventually going to have to come back from that side and eventually go towards the positive side , which is service to others , right Loving , et cetera .

And so , in that vein , if I am thanking the animals , if I am loving them , if I'm making sure I'm putting my dollars in the right places , those are acts of love . At least that's what I choose to believe in my dream , you know , and as a result , that's what my dream is , you know .

And so , again , I feel like a lot of people are kind of struggling with that , you know , like , well , yes , I'm starting to believe in oneness , but I also still think there's these , you know , ancillary laws that someone else created that I have to follow . And sure , if you want that to be your dream , then abracadabra , that's your dream .

But it doesn't have to be that way , and I think that's what psychedelics and all of these types of things show us . I've had so many conversations with high level entities and psychedelic experiences where they're like dude , you can eat whatever you want to eat , because it's still in a dream . That's not real .

So , at the end of the day , as long as you're utilizing intention and you're coming from a place of love . That's what truly matters .

You know , it's kind of like this idea , like you know , if we were coaching each other right and you said something from a place of love and somehow it triggered me , well , my ego is going to want me to think Elliot just wronged me . But in reality , all that matters is the intention you were coming from .

And if it was pure , you know my how I received it says everything about me and nothing about you . And that's why , like we're all getting you walk each other home right , because nothing is ever personal , just like the four agreements talks about , and psychedelics and hypnotherapy and these things can tap us deeper into that .

And that's the real beauty I find within these things is that they show me over and over like hey , at the , at the end of the day , you have to be okay with you , and if you're okay with you and you're truly okay with you , you shouldn't be able to get offended by what anyone else says about your choices in life or whatever .

If you do , that's where it's showing you you don't fully believe the choices you're making in life , you don't really believe they're good or pure , et cetera .

So , in a way , when people share things with us from a place of love and maybe they offend us or they trigger us or whatever about meat or whatever it is it's actually a gift in disguise because it's showing us where we're not really living the dream that we think we are .

You know , we're actually not believing what we're really doing in our dream and that's going to cause a distortion that's going to lead to potentially disease down the road or whatever else . So I always say just do what makes you happy and really , if it truly makes you happy , it shouldn't matter what anyone else says about it .

You know , because at the end of the day , other people have their dream and that's beautiful . That's what allows this experience to be what it is . We wouldn't want everyone to have the same dream , but we also want to make sure we we come from a place of love and respect others experience . You know , whatever that may be .

You know , they take it very seriously and so I don't feel I think it got to . You know , like there was a stage where I felt like you know , like the whole , like self-righteous and let me , let me , let me teach them that their religion is wrong or that religion is . You know , it was created by men and it's not real , and you know it's a business .

But , hey , I came to the realization that I still have to respect that , that they are in their own path and that's what works for them , that's what makes them happy . So who am I to judge their happy choices , right ? Who am I to judge them for whatever they are doing right now that is making them happy , and so I have to be .

Of course , I still have to put my foot down and set my boundaries and be like , hey , mom , I love you and I know you love me .

Um , I would just , I , you know , I respect you very much for your choices of your , you know , being religious and for being so , you know , um so focused on your religion and being a missionary and doing all this beautiful work that you're doing in your church . But I would really appreciate if you could also respect my decision of not being part of it .

You know , that doesn't mean that I don't believe in God , that doesn't believe that I don't feel connected to God . Or , you know , I said , if anything , anything , I feel more connected than I ever felt before .

But I would really appreciate , if you can , it would really mean a lot for me if you could respect my decision of not being part of that world , your world , you know that because that is her world and I'm leaving mine and , and I think , when we're able to see that difference . Hello , oh , sorry , he just came back .

It's more like hey , like I . I respect you , so please , could you , please also respect me . You know , that's how I , that's how it is for me now , and if that person doesn't , then you just move .

You just move forward right and move forward to , to be around the whatever it's in alignment with , and then that is really what brings you more peace , because you start to really live in your full alignment with who you are , your higher self , and , like you said , you start becoming even more simple . Life becomes so much more simple and simplicity .

For me it's luxury . To me , simplicity is the is the real luxury .

I mean where I can just walk around and you know , I'm at the beach and I'm just chilling , and that's probably my life every , almost every single day , you know , and and so , and then it's like I'm just laying in there and then I tell my friend , like don't you feel like we live in like vacation mode every day ?

But we have organic eggs that we go and buy from this cute , the cute little like market that it's all organic and we can order our raw milk from there too , and you know what I mean . It's just like little things like that that maybe I would have never thought before that that was the real luxury of life for me .

Again , that's for me Speaking that for me being able to move here , really leaving everything behind to what it was before . I love this life and I love how simple it is and how peaceful it is .

It's like , you know , when I was a kid or younger I thought the most fun thing I could do with a snow globe was shake it up as fast as I could right and watch the you know , little petals in there go crazy .

But as I got older I started to realize how beautiful it was to allow that image to settle and just to be able to see the image that's in there right , the little town or whatever's in the metaphorical snow globe that we're talking about , you know , and I realized that during a mushroom trip , one time , where what happened was I was someone who thought I

needed all these things to make me happy . I had a very complex life at that point . You know a lot of things I felt I had to do , or I have to do them right , which , like , who's making me do these things ? Well , it's also me , but I'm feeling as though it's something else right ?

And I remember in this mushroom trip it was back when I was probably 23 , 24 , my first time really like dosing heavy with mushrooms and I remember when I broke through and I kind of reached the peak of it and then the peak kind of , like you know , went a little sideways so that I wasn't going up anymore .

So I could kind of wrap myself around the experience . I more so , I could kind of wrap myself around the experience .

I remember I spent the next three hours in bed just staring at the ceiling and I had never been happier , more at peace , more content , more joyous , more fulfilled , and I was like , well , this is weird , I'm literally staring at a ceiling in my bed and I've never felt better before . So what is that capitulating to my entire life experience from here on out .

Well , it's exactly like you're saying . It's like I can really enjoy the little things now and I really realize that the little things are truly the big things . Right , being able to walk outside with a healthy body and put my feet in the grass , being able to have eyesight that's really good , which I'm grateful for .

To be able to look at the sun and right now I'm looking at the leaves changing outside my window and that beautiful fall foliage , and being able to find the beauty in that . Coming out of my office at night and smelling dinner cooking and being like oh Rachel , what are you cooking ? And having that surprise like I was a little kid .

You know , it's those things now that I value more than anything else , because I realized that I'm already rich , I'm already abundant in ways that a lot of billionaires will never even touch . And so it's almost like that moment where you realize like , oh my God , I made it right and it didn't take any material possessions to get there .

It didn't take anything other than tuning into really what I wanted to do in life , paving my own path , being able to connect with other amazing people like yourself that allow me to continue to get re-inspired , to really just be my own person in the world and not care what anyone thinks of that experience If anyone judges it .

That's beautiful too , because I remember the times in which I judged right . So I remember that there's no judgment there and , like you're saying , being able to put up boundaries and discern , like , is this my flavor of ice cream or do I like a different flavor ? But not from a sense of , oh , this flavor is better than that flavor .

Just , I happen , for whatever reason , to prefer this flavor , and if you prefer that flavor , I'd love to hear why .

Not because I want to change your mind or because I want you to try to change mine , but because if I love a flavor of ice cream , then I can become inspired from someone else's favorite flavor of ice cream and the experience they have in eating that metaphorical ice cream , you know .

So if someone's vegan , I want to hear about what they love about being vegan .

It's awesome , you know , because I guarantee , if I can , you know , break myself out of those patterns that I had in the past of trying to think there was a right way and a wrong way , I'll find the same thing that I love about , say , eating meat with someone else who loves being vegan , because , ultimately , the reason why someone truly loves something if they

really love it is because it brings them closer to something that feels like home . And so , in that , no matter what we do , if we find things we love , we can connect with anyone , because it's all relative . You know , we know what that feeling of love is , and once you access it , you just want to follow it everywhere .

You know , that's all I want to do now is follow the love and follow the fun into my , you know , enlightenment , or whatever you want to call it . You know , so fun .

You know what you're saying makes sense to me and , like you said , you know it's like there's times where it's like , oh no , what you're saying does not make sense to me and I will never be able to comprehend it . So I'm gonna going to go this way .

You know , and I think that's that's where we I have learned so much to just set those boundaries too , and how important it is to set those very clear boundaries from the very beginning to in any kind of relationship , right , and really in any kind of relationship . Um , for me it's been , uh , it's been so interesting .

Relationships have been probably my , my lesson in this , in this reality , in this world , and through those , but through those relationships , I have learned so much and I have been able to grow in different ways that I don't think I would have done it if I was in healthy relationships from the very beginning .

You know , like there's , I mean , I became a therapist because of my , my ex-husband Right , because of my marriage . So I feel like if I hadn't gone through that again , that came from love , even though it was such a like um harsh .

You know , uh , experience understanding that previously to this lifetime , to this school life , that you know we make contracts with whoever you know , we know , in this , this paradigm , this , this reality for us , and that we , we kind of took roles in this movie of our life and be like , well , you're going to be , you know like I'll , I'll play the role of

the villain in your life , you know , to to push you because I love you . And and so that to me reminding myself that now it's like , okay , well , yes , they , he loved me . You know , he loved me so much that he decided to play the , the , the biggest villain in my life , in this lifetime . So I was like , wow , he really , really loved me .

But still , that doesn't mean that we don't need to set those boundaries and that doesn't mean that the laws of the land also apply to it too , because , as we have free will uh , that's another thing that I it's it's been so complex with what I learned from you know religion to what it is now ? Is that ?

I mean , if you just look at the follow the the law of oneness , nobody , there wouldn't be any words . Nobody would be like trying to hurt somebody or trying to be , you know , put somebody down just to get ahead . It's like nobody would be doing that . Everybody would just be co-creating , working with each other , helping each other .

See , okay , you , you need this . Oh , I have it don't worry , you know here , let's , let's do this exchange , you know , let's do this energetic , energetic exchange , and that will be such a beautiful world , and that's that's my dream . That's my dream and I , I believe that it's possible to happen .

You know , now , I believe that that is my dream , of course , you know so , um , but , uh , I , I believe that there's other people who also have similar dreams , or they want to be part of that dream too . That we can all dream that dream . Yeah , you know what I mean .

And , as the , you know , different books say , whatever break the reincarnation loop , or however we want to talk about it , you know , I feel like the more of us that do that , the more we're going to be able to keep remembering and not forgetting . You know , like that's really what it is .

I feel like we're all just going through a lifetime or an experience here that's called the lifetime in which we're remembering and we're forgetting , and hopefully we find the people , places and things that allow us to remember more and forget less , and if we can do that , I really think that's the win .

I mean , I can't really think of any other way that we could win as much as that . That's what I've come up with so far , anyway .

It's so much in alignment to what I believe , too , right now you know , and so that's where I was like okay , you know , we're creating this new earth .

Because our brain , our ego , our intellect has been going to , essentially , gyms since we were six years old , and so we've got piled higher and deeper with other people's experiences of the dream and we've come to think that the right way to live the dream is to go by other what other people say about the dream , and so it takes a lot of time to come back

to simplicity of listening to your own soul , your own intuition , and being able to just resonate with other people that you feel are on a similar type of wavelength to you and be able to usher in the next level of evolution for you and the people around you , just by joining forces with them , by , you know , breaking bread with them , by doing these things ,

and I really feel like that's , that's the answer , that's the new earth , you know , and I feel it alive and very well right now .

You know like I feel like the last couple of weeks of everything going on , it is a there's a certain energy I'm feeling in the world right now that I truly enjoy , like it's a feeling of empowerment , and I'm not attributing that to anything that's gone on , necessarily in the mainstream world , but just for whatever reason that's .

The energy I'm waking up in today is just this , really like this really hopeful energy .

You know that that I feel just like you said a lot of people are tapping into like , oh , I can just live a dream that makes me happy , and when I do , it doesn't matter if my happiness is different than what makes someone else happy , because we both understand happiness and so we can vibe on that . You know , no-transcript , like holy shit .

I know it's such a thing where you know I feel like time is speeding up and I'm okay with that Because when I look back at my time , I can know that I spent it very well talking to people like yourself and doing really things that are fun for me and keep me happy .

But I want to make sure I give you ample time to tell people where they can find you , where they can find out more about your services , how they can book appointments with you and everything of that nature to help , to allow you , to help them to usher in their next level of evolution .

So where can I send people to find you and we'll put it on the show notes , of course , people to find you and we'll put it on the show notes , of course , but where can I send people to find you ?

For anyone who wants or prefers a in-person session , that's where I am right now and it's in my bio , so they'll see it there . We're changing names so it used to be called Coastal Orthopedics and Wellness Center and I think we're merging with COoi wellness center , so the name might change .

But for now , they can just go into the uh , the website , and and just call the , the receptionist , irene , she's wonderful and then she'll , uh , she'll schedule . She'll schedule you , yes , and if they just want like a , you know , um , not necessarily in-person session , they just want a , you know , zoom session , online sessions , they can just DM me .

I love that , that's easy .

And I have a last question I like to ask every guest that comes on the show , so I'm going to ask it to you now , and that question is let's say someone listens to this episode and they're really interested to try out psychedelic medicines in their own life , what is the one piece of advice you could offer them to allow them to use the proper discernment in

understanding for them whether or not psychedelics are right for them at this moment in time in their life ?

Whether you have to do it or you need to do it , that's up to you , but always find someone that you can share that sacred moment with . To me , it's always like the more that you do it in sacred ceremony , the more that you're going to have that beautiful religious experience . That's just how it's been for me and you know that's , that's what I can share .

Ellia is such an amazing , amazing person and I'm so grateful our paths crossed so we can continue to help remember and have less forgetting in life when it comes to how to live the best dream possible , and I highly recommend that for any of you that resonated with this episode , that felt a call from your heart , go down to the show notes , connect with Elia

and figure out how she can support you on her journey , because if there's one thing I know , it's that , although she's done so many amazing things already , she's just getting started and I am super excited for that . If you guys love the show , go give us a five star review . You guys know we love that .

It helps get the show out to more and more people just like you , and we are forever grateful . And wherever you are , wherever you're tuning in , I hope you're having the best day ever and until next time , may the source be with you , peace .
