In this opening episode of a new season of Psychedelica, a team of psychonauts reveal how we can reconnect with the soul of our planet through plant medicines. Plants make up more than 80% of the biomass of our planet, and it is possible that they have an intelligence which could help inform us of what reality really is. As our society pushes on with innovative technological marvels, we increasingly move away from the spiritual consciousness of our world. Thus, it is vitally important that we learn from the shamans of ancient traditions who can help us reconnect with the plant world and the morphogenic fields of our planet to engage with deepest intelligence of our world.

Can psychedelics access the innate deep healing of our minds? Despite technology connecting people across the world, many of us still feeling disconnected, anxious, and depressed. Perhaps the solution to our modern problems can be found with ancient practices of healing using plant medicines. Our team of mind explorers discuss the psychoactive properties of psilocybin, ayahuasca, and iboga, which are being tested to better understand their effects on psychological healing. As the research continues to progress, we may see psychotherapies of the future looking more and more like shamanism.

Why is it so hard to break free from the material reality we are locked into, as we perceive it? The default mode network within our brain, a recent discovery with ancient implications, locks our minds into material reality and blocks access to spirituality and alternate planes of consciousness. The key to breaking free of this ancient matrix may be found with the careful use of psychedelics. Studies show that we can regulate this default mode network with meditation and exercise. But plant medicines may offer the breakthrough we need to shut down the predictive coding embedded within our brains. This would help us release the old stories that we impose upon new situations we encounter and help us to perceive the world in more beneficial ways.

From the mathematical properties of frequencies to the emotional effects of music, sound can be the golden key that open our minds to new realities previously closed to us. To understand how sound affects consciousness, we need to understand how our brain reacts, with resonance, to various audible and electromagnetic frequencies. This is something long understood by shamans and is being confirmed by scientific studies. Our team of mind explorers discuss the importance of sound in the set and setting of psychedelic experiences to deepen and enhance states of mind.

Many of the most familiar plants medicines sit at the forefront of our discussions. But there is a type of natural medicine that is often overlooked and in danger of being lost. Our team of psychonauts explore the various experiences that come from the secretions of frogs and toads. In addition to psychedelic properties of these secretions, they can have strong purgative and energy cleansing properties that are not for the weak. Caution must be taken by trained practitioners to protect the sanctity and safety of these delicate creatures as well as our awareness of protecting the dwindling environments in which these magical creatures thrive.

Cannabis may be the fabled tree of life mentioned in nearly every spiritual tradition on Earth. Archeological finds prove that this is one of the oldest cultivated crops because of its myriad of uses ranging from expansion of consciousness to construction materials. We explore many of the uses of cannabis and hemp, beyond the psychoactive properties, to see why it was such a revered plant. As many of these benefits are coming to public acceptance, and we see an increase in production, we must be careful that we do not lose the sacred connection to this ancient plant medicine.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma. Much of our modern pain comes from a disconnection with each other and the natural world. But the careful use of psychedelics could help us get back to Gaia consciousness and alleviate many of these symptoms. Modern institutions are rediscovering what ancient keepers of plant medicines already knew about the importance of our connection with the natural world. They are rediscovering that every ecosystem holds a plethora of neurotransmitters naturally produced by the flourishing fauna. In the soil below, we find a network connecting all of these plants enabling them to communicate with each other. In this final episode of Psychedelica, we explore how plant medicines could give us the means to reconnect and heal in our most needed ways.
