IN THIS EPISODE: Fred Grover Jr., M.D. continues to share his diverse experience, knowledge, and embodied wisdom in practicing medicine. We discuss the importance and value of sacred sexuality as a path to spiritual awakening, optimal health, and rewiring one’s physiology for greater connection. Our discussion spans into the powerful field of plant medicine and entheogens for transforming one’s relationship with life force energy, the earth, others, and life/death itself. We continue from our last episode in part 1, this time taking it further into the world of additional plant medicines and substances that support our journey into unity consciousness: LSD, Peyote, Ayuasca, and DMT

DISCLAIMER:
Kinan and Fred will discuss a few psychoactive plants and man-made compounds in this podcast. We cannot endorse their use due to legal restrictions that vary based on local state laws, federal, and those of individual countries.
We recommend that you maintain awareness around the legality of various plant entheogens and if they are applied in a solo mindful based practice, with your partner, or in a group, that you have created a safe setting, consent, and boundaries with other participants, and that you have an integration process planned within a day or two of the experience.
While we may discuss psychedelic medicine during this podcast, they were all done in a legal or a decriminalized setting and during my free time, and never do at work.
Regarding intimate relations with someone while doing plant medicine, again one must mutually consent and agree to the process and have a plan to set limits should one feel uncomfortable during a journey.
