    Psilocybin Mushroom Wizard Acacea Lewis

    Acacea Lewis has traveled beyond deep into the spiritual and healing realms of the sacred mushroom Teonanacoatl, or psilocybin. Not only that, she has a brilliant mind and the verbal chops to communicate her knowledge and insights clearly and eloquently. I believe this is essential information for just about anyone looking to really learn the secrets of the amazing psilocybin mushrooms. And I do mean "secrets" in the sense that few people have learned what the mushrooms are ultimately capable of. As well, this isn't just information for a few brave psychonauts. This wisdom is becoming increasingly necessary for a troubled planet in transition and under duress.

    "Seeing Through the Smoke" - cannabis specialist Peter Grinspoon MD untangles the truth.

    Seeing Through the Smoke by Peter Grinspoon MD is poised to be a game changer around cannabis. Dr. Grinspoon skillfully "untangles the truth about marijuana" with a balanced and thorough examination of the evidence around cannabis and psychosis, addiction, trauma, pregnancy, driving, cognition, adolescence, opioid withdrawal, cancer, sleep, autism, ADHD, PTSD, CBD, and more. Cannabis has been badly mistreated and misunderstood for the past 90 years. Much of the public discourse and research is unfounded in reality or reliable evidence. This book sets the record straight. Seeing Through the Smoke: A Cannabis Specialist Untangles the Truth About Marijuana is absolutely a must read for policy makers, researchers, health care providers (Get with the program doctors!), retailers, growers, and anyone who wants to know what this amazing plant can do - as well as those claims for which there's no reliable evidence (yet). And in case that all sounds daunting, it ain't. The book is written in an accessible, user-friendly style often spiced with warmth and humor. Note: This interview, and all the others with leading influencers on StephenGray Vision, is also available in video format on the StephenGray Vision YouTube channel.

    Psychedelics for Trauma and Addiction - with Dr. Dominique Morisano

    Dr. Dominique Morisano, clinical psychologist and professor, shares important insights on how psychedelics can help with trauma, addiction, depression, and other conditions. Dr. Morisano's experience is deep and wide. She is knowledgeable about several psychedelics and has much experience using ketamine in her therapy practice. Other topics we covered were: • How ketamine leans more toward the positive than some other psychedelics and can help with addictions, including cigarette addiction • cannabis dependency and ketamine for that dependency • pros and cons of MDMA in therapeutic work • problems with long-term use of anti-depressant pharmaceuticals like SSRIs • the necessity of follow-up care after medicine sessions (integration) NOTE: Please subscribe to my newsletter at www.stephengrayvision.com for updates, new interviews, and occasional gems of insight.

    Flavio Santi: Master Ecuadorian Plant Medicine Healer - interview on StephenGray Vision

    Flavio Santi is a rare wisdom carrier with essential messages for the world. He holds an ancient lineage of Ecuadorian healers working with plant medicines. In my experience, Flavio's knowledge of how to heal with plants is deeper than anyone else I've encountered or heard about. Flavio works with several master plants, especially ayahuasca, wayusa, and tobacco (nothing like industrial cigarette tobacco). In this interview he talks about the connection between the plants, the land, and the Spirits, or as he sometimes says, the ancestors. As Flavio says in the interview, his grandfather charged him with the responsibility of telling the people of the "North" about this deep knowledge for the benefit of all humanity. A central aspect of Flavio's work is the reclamation of their ancestral land in Ecuador to be protected for the generations to come. They're raising money to buy back 5000 acres of forest and to build a school—the Wayusa School— for children from around the world to learn these powerful traditional ways of healing and of protecting Mother Earth.

    Ayahuasca Awakenings: Interview with Rev Dr. Jessica Rochester

    Jessica Rochester is an incredible font of wisdom, insight, and knowledge on many aspects of healing and spiritual awakening. Her bona fides are impeccable. She is an ordained Inter-Faith Minister with a Doctorate in Divinity. She trained with the legendary Stanislav Grof and among her numerous responsibilities is the director and primary ceremony leader of Céu do Montréal, the ayahuasca-using Santo Daime church she founded in 1997. Dr. Rochester has written an all-but-exhaustive two-volume book that gathers her long decades of experience into a highly accessible and practical guidebook on just about everything anyone needs to know and consider on healing pathways.  The book's title is: Ayahuasca Awakening: A Guide to Self-Discovery, Self-Mastery, and Self-Care. As implied by the subtitle and my comments above, the contents of the book extend far beyond discussions around ayahuasca. "Ayahuasca Awakening" actually refers mainly to the source of much of Dr. Rochesters's inspiration and understanding. She also has a delightfully positive and warm presence in this hour-long interview. Note: This interview is one of over two dozen with leading influencers in fields related to psychedelics and consciousness transformation. All of the interviews can be viewed on the StephenGray Vision YouTube channel.  This interview with Jessica Rochester is here: https://youtu.be/Ty7CaMohvPc And: Please consider subscribing to the YouTube channel.

    Psychedelics, Meditation, and Kriya Yoga

    Keith Lowenstein MD is an authentic wisdom carrier with a great deal of beneficially guidance to share. He has over 40 years of experience teaching and practicing Kriya yoga, and 35 years of clinical experience in integrative medicine, psychiatry, and nutrition.    Perhaps even more important for our purposes here, he also has extensive experience in psychedelic healing modalities and has direct understanding of the potential of skillfully combining plant medicines with yoga and meditation. This is a challenging area of development that is certain to take an increasingly prominent role in healing and awakening work.   Arguably the most important component of Keith's journey toward wisdom and working in these ways was his studies under legendary "crazy wisdom" cannabis guru and Kriya yoga master Sri Mahant Swami Ganesh Anand Giri Saraswati, more popularly known as Ganesh Baba. Keith was Ganesh Baba's last main student, working closely with him for 5 years. In fact it was Baba who directed Keith to become a doctor.  Keith is the author of "Kriya Yoga for Self-Discovery." Note: As always these interviews, now over 2 dozen, are also available in video format on the StephenGray Vision YouTube channel, here: https://youtu.be/-CyGcF24Rxo And: Please subscribe to the StephenGray Vision YouTube Channel. It's not for my career, my ego, or any other version of ambition except that the pro's tell me that more subscribers means they're easier to find in searches and therefor more people can find out about this essential information and inspiration for a world in crisis and transition.

    Salvia: Misunderstood Healer - Christopher Solomon interview

    Salvia divinorum has great potential as a gentle and kind yet direct healing medicine when used in carefully protected low-dose settings, preferably with a guide or at least a sitter. Christopher Solomon is a clear and articulate advocate—as well as a guide—for this misunderstood healer.  Most people who have encountered Salvia in unstructured contexts, such as with the "extracts" like the 5X, 10X, 20X etc, want nothing further to do with its often bizarre and sometimes frightening effects. But Christopher understands that in low doses, Salvia is almost like a different medicine altogether. It relaxes and nurtures. It works in a somatic fashion—directly with the felt body rather than through cerebral insights.  This unique member of the mint family has been badly misunderstood. When encountered with this knowledge in hand, Salvia divinorum has an important role to play in the healing and awakening journey. Note: Along with two dozen other interviews with leading influencers in psychedelics and the future of humanity, this interview is also available on the StephenGray Vision YouTube channel, here: https://youtu.be/Ffo88r36GCk Subscribe to the StephenGray Vision YouTube channel.
