Re last post, she was a well-intentioned doctor and I wasn’t upset that her thoughts patterns automatically led her to prescribing more medication without listening to me - it’s all she knows. However, I made it clear that I was literally THERE to decrease my medication. Doctors need to develop critical thinking and empathy skills when working with patients. Our health is the most important thing we have and we must be able to trust those who are responsible for it. It was just another example of feeling unheard, unseen, and like a # to the system. 🍅 🍅 🍅

Currently working towards tapering off my anti depressant and replacing it with holistic healthcare. Met with my psychiatrist this morning and told her how good I’m feeling on a much lower dosage. Her response was “great! Well the next step for us is to increase your Zoloft.” ……. The look I gave her as I said “no, I’m good where I’m at” could have burned a whole through the wall. 😞😞😞😞😞

Re last post - the fact that we’re in a place to offer psilocybin as medicine makes me so proud of all the pioneers in the psychiatry space. They knew the power of psychedelic assisted therapy and didn’t give up when the FDA shut down their work in the 70’s because they were scared of people being free minded. From 1970-present doctors have been following every procedural step, by the books, so no one (aka the gov) can stop them in getting this medicine into the hands of our people.

My yoga studio is offering a psilocybin microdose workshop, the studio owner intro’d it and an older man said “this is crazy I haven’t done mushrooms since the 70’s, maybe I’ll come check it out” Loved that so much. The collective energy shift to at least being open to love and connection again is palpable and it’s so energizing

Apparently there’s an evidence-based epidemic of doctors over administering unnecessary c-sections to women during child birth, even when women try to refuse. Interesting that, as a woman myself, I didn’t learn that until 2 weeks before my 29th birthday. Wtf

I just learned that a scientist recently suggested that humans are “species atypical”. No other species has ever had the ability to live untrue to itself and forsake its own needs — and convince itself that this is the way things are supposed to be. I find that to be so simple and inherent yet profound

The universe has a funny way of reminding us that waiting is an active process

I started doing breathwork sessions with one of my closest friends a few weeks ago. We had our third session tonight. She went into it saying she felt really tense & overwhelmed because of her job. At the end of the session she looked up at me with tears running down her face and said “I don’t know what’s happening with my body right now but I feel so relieved”. She started crying during breathwork bc her body finally got to release something she was holding for who knows how long. It was so cool

I told a friend of mine about Primal today. When I explained it as a decentralized social media platform, she rolled her eyes as if she was…. upset.. by the idea of free speech on the internet. I know she’s not alone in her views but preferring censorship is so fucking wild to me??? It’s sad to see the ignorance regarding the truth of what censorship really means (power + control) vs what the media portrays it as to the avg American (making sure the big bad bullies cant be mean to u) - it’s the cycle reinforcing itself from the inside out really. Makes me wonder how long the time horizon is on completely unlearning all the subconscious connections made thru the bullshit we’ve been taught to consume without questioning. Likely a multi-generational effort without a lot of fucking work (and soon). Always hopeful but damn conversations like that make me feel 😞 This is the shit that keeps me up at night lol

The intersection between sound money and sound health must be adequately addressed for humans to continue to evolve. There’s a mental health epidemic rooted in distrust, isolation, and moral corruption. It’s more imperative than ever before that we return to the basics and remember how humans have thrived evolutionarily. We need courageous people to step up and help us remember who we are. We’re here to connect, create, and support each other in creating a more promising future for the future of our species. That’s why #nostr is so exciting to me. That’s why #bitcoin is so exciting to me. That’s why #breathwork is so exciting to me. The most complex questions often require the simplest of solutions. The answer is each other. Fix the money, fix our health. #mentalhealth #bitcoin #decentralization

As a society, we tend to over complicate everything. The most complex issues often require the simplest solutions. Breathwork teaches us where to find them - within ourselves.

The breath is the only physiological action of the mind-body that is both voluntary and involuntary. If we are not consciously aware of our breath, we are at critical risk of falling into a chronic sympathetic nervous system response, more commonly known as the dreaded “fight or flight” response. Although it really isn’t all that dreadful if you know how to work with it. Gaining awareness of the breath allows us to create new internal experiences that positively correlate to abundance in the areas of our lives that are most meaningful to us. There isn’t an area of life that can’t be elevated through focusing on how we breathe.

Our local dog park restores my faith in humanity every time. Something about bonding over willingness to take a bullet for our pets will have that effect

The way appears as you start to walk

I watched Dune part one and two b2b yesterday and I woke up different. Everything about that movie is unbelievable. The writing, cinematography, Timothy, Zendaya, costume designs. I could watch it for12 hours and not get bored. Although it hit juuuuust too close to home. They do say fear is the killer of the mind.

Gabor again with the truth

I recently started working at a cryotherapy spot while in school. The concept of cryotherapy is to trigger your body into its natural fight response through exposure to -250F temperatures. If you stay exposed to the cold for 90 seconds, your body responds by producing *supercharged* oxygen, collagen, and anti-inflammatory proteins to prepare us to prevail over the perceived threat. Basically, our bodies must be put under stress to show us what we’re really made of. Can this correlation be drawn to money? How much stress do we need to be put under to emerge with the production of clean, powerful money… just as our body does with our blood. Idk this could be a reach but it’s how my brain works.
