We learn how to be a courageous explorer when working with plant medicines. We allow ourselves to be taken, to be shown places of consciousness that we never new existed. In doing so, we let our construct of reality slip aside to discover something new.

When we return to normal waking life, we bring this explorer's attitude with us. We explore what we learned and what meaning it has for us in our lives, each and every day. We live into the answers.

The exploration of consciousness is truly INFINITE. When coming back to life, here are a few practices for continuing the exploration

𝗜𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆
Deepening into both the experience during the plant medicine journeys AND what is arising now.  Write, paint, draw how these questions answer themselves.
~ What meaning does the experience (in the plant medicine journey or in life) have for you?
~ What emotions are arising? What do they connect to in your life?
~ What are the sensations in your body? What do they connect to?
~ What thoughts and beliefs are arising?
~ What do you see, how to you feel about the relationships in your life?
~ What do you sense about your energetic patterns?
~ How does being connected to spirit, your higher wisdom or true essence support you? How does it feel to you?
~ What are you passionate about? Where does your heart light up?
~ What changes do you see possible? What do you need to support those changes?

𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
Getting fully into your body - through movement - such as dancing, running, yoga, qi gong- energy work, bodywork, massage, abhyanga (or other self-massage). This allows the energy to move, to settle in on deeper levels into your human being.

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲
Allowing yourself to be completely absorbed into nature - meditating, feeling the elements, the plants, the living breathing beings all around. Hiking, camping, sitting by the ocean, climbing a mountain. Make sure to take enough time to allow the mind to rest and relax. Open to receive the nourishment of the Earth.

The pathway was cut out before us, and now we have access to bring the information and energy coded in the experience back. Without honoring an integration process, we can lose that information, as it can slip back into the unconscious. It can reappear at a later time, when it’s needed. And learning to integrate altered states can help us regain the pieces of ourselves so that we may live from wholeness now.

The process of sharing during the integration time is a foundational part of the plant work. The plants themselves live in a vibrant ecosystem - where every living thing impacts other living things. The plants are often teaching us about and helping us heal our relationships - to family, friends, community, and the Earth. By sharing our process in integration, we have the opportunity to fine-tune what we learned in the ceremony or the experience. We receive reflection, so that we can see ourselves more clearly.  We also are blessed to be connected with other humans who are also on similar human journeys, with similar human struggles and joys. Right after working with plant medicines, is a potent time - it can be sensitive and tender, or confusing, or energizing and joyous. Sharing and deepening into what's arising with support is invaluable.

Messages and teachings that come in in altered states are incredibly enlightening - and they can often be interpreted differently after the ceremony. The challenge can arise when  the ego identifies completely with the experience.

"The Medicine told me....to move to this country, to get married, to quit my job, that I am God/evil/will save the world, that the shaman is God/evil/will save the world, that the world is going to end, etc..."

But the ego latches onto a teaching that was spiritual - beyond the ego. Most of these revealings require a deeper exploration once out of the medicines strong influence. This deeper exploration is the true work, the development of your own true wisdom - integrating the spiritual into the human form. Unpacking these experiences with someone you trust to hold you to really discover your own truth, brings the incredible gifts of working with plant medicines through the body-mind and into your life.
