Our narrative

Sometimes things just happen, 
Events have a certain way to unfold.

Our expressions are caught up in grander scheme; 
They have influence and no real control.

The gap between our worlds is navigated with our narrative, 
We live in one and are the other, 
We all live in one and are the others.

Release

It’s your first time journeying, and you might want to have a handle to hold onto for comfort and peace.

The experience will likely feel as though you’re drifting through reality where everything you feel becomes vivid and different. Your psyche is going to drift along the connection between your body in the world and your spirit on the frontier.

There is no way to really distance yourself from or filter what you’re about to experience, so be prepared for that and also know that it’s an inward journey. It will likely be beautiful and enlightening,  but with some challenges. The feelings and experiences that you, on an innate or subscious level, are taking with you will be ones that you face. Your journey might give you a moment to accept and process so that you can be free.

Go on this journey with people who make you feel secure and have ideally practiced with medicines before. Their experience is going to affect yours so try to be aware of that affect going in so that it can be as positive as possible for everyone.

Remember that this is something that you’re doing to make yourself feel better, because you’re worth it. We all need to release parts of our psyche, or ego, that we’re holding onto so that we can just be who we are.

Let yourself be you, let your journey be what it is and remember love as you go.

Drifting

Moving with currents of emotion,
New flows open up and guide us along,
Knowing when to resist the current is key.

Many different currents can carry us along,
Finding the right current is like gift,
It will change how you are.

Two Halves, One Whole

There is a gap between who we are,
And who our thoughts tell us we are.
There can be a war between these halves,
When we are not aligned with our true selves.

We think this by having wracking thoughts,
We feel this by experiencing physical and emotional pain.
The gap is closed when we accept who we are,
The pain goes away when we surrender to ourselves.

Connecting

Feeling anything is beautiful,
Feeling everything is wondrous.

Being present and open is challenging,
It means we can be hurt and feel pain.

With vulnerability comes strength,
Surrender to your feelings and let control drift.

Connect with creation, joy and love,
Let’s allow love to shape who we are.

Sheltered Sky

Beautiful moments happen, they can appear suddenly or build gradually.

Protect your moments, so that you get the experiences you need.

Shelter yourself, so that you can enjoy these moments when they happen.

There is always beauty and magic, if that is what you seek.

Patterns

Embedded deep within a rhythm,
Seeing only the next step,
Missing the cycle’s conclusion.

Reflection can bring awareness,
Acceptance might give strength,
Intention will enable change.

Gratitude

It’s so easy to run through life,
Thinking that everything you earn,
Is purely due to your own efforts.

Recognizing the people around you,
The love and support that they give,
Can help ensure that they stay around.

When warranted, be humble in acceptance,
when not, stand firm in loving defiance.
