This is a substance that you want to use in your life to awaken, to open. And if it works, then yeah, yeah, well, that's it.
Imagine blending the ancient teachings of Buddhism with modern marijuana use. That's exactly what Will Johnson discusses with Carl Christensen in this intriguing episode of 'Change Truth'. Broadcasting from Costa Rica, Will brings a fresh perspective on integrating cannabis into spiritual practices, challenging traditional Buddhist views that advocate for abstinence from intoxicants. Instead, he draws inspiration from the Hindu God Shiva, who embodies a different approach to physical and spiritual harmony through marijuana use.
Throughout the episode, you'll hear about Will's book, 'Cannabis in Spiritual Practice', which delves into how marijuana can enhance yoga and dharma practices. He argues that traditional Buddhist methods can sometimes be too rigid, leading to physical discomfort like back pain and leg burning. By incorporating marijuana, Will believes practitioners can better tune into their bodies, movements, and breathing, achieving a more balanced and mindful state. But that's not all.
The conversation also touches on the philosophy of Ida Rolf and the practice of Rolfing, which focuses on realigning the body's structure to improve overall well-being. Will also introduces the concept of 'gazing', a meditative practice that involves maintaining eye contact to foster deeper connections and awareness. For those curious about the intersection of cannabis and spirituality, this episode offers a fascinating blend of personal anecdotes, expert insights, and practical advice.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi or someone exploring new ways to enhance your mindfulness practices, Will Johnson's unique approach provides plenty of food for thought.
