Psychedelic Shamanism: Unlocking New Paths in Addiction and Mental Health

What psychedelics can do is to pull the curtain, pull off the blinders and allow us to experience things which we don't normally experience. And seeing these unseen things gives us a broader perspective of the world around us and indeed of ourselves.
Ever thought about the untapped potential of psychedelic shamanism in treating addiction and mental health issues? In this fascinating episode of Elevation Recovery, host Matt Finch sits down with his father, Master Herbalist John Finch, to explore this very topic. John shares his deep knowledge of psychedelic plant medicine, shedding light on how substances like psychedelic mushrooms can be used to address anxiety, ADD, and addiction.
The episode dives into current clinical trials that are investigating the benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy and next-generation psychedelics. John Finch recounts his personal experiences with traditional plant medicines, offering a unique perspective on how these natural substances can facilitate profound insights and personal growth. The discussion also covers meditation, mind expansion, and the transformative power of entheogens.
While the conversation acknowledges the potential risks associated with using psychedelic plants, it emphasizes their medicinal advantages and the importance of reconnecting with our true selves. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about alternative therapies for addiction and mental health. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, you'll find this discussion both enlightening and inspiring.
