In this episode of The Mindfulness Experience Podcast, we explore the use of psychedelic medicines in helping veterans overcome PTSD. Jared Rinehart, a former marine and transformational coach certified through Being True To You. After his own life-changing experience with Ayahuasca, Jared dedicated himself to helping others navigate the plant medicine process. He works one-on-one with veterans to help them integrate their experiences and insights into everyday life, promoting healing and success.

Jared explains that Ayahuasca is a medicinal plant used by native Amazonian tribes for centuries. It contains a psychedelic compound that induces a deep meditative state, allowing the participant to access the subconscious and connect with their emotions and innermost thoughts. In the context of healing, Ayahuasca helps veterans confront their trauma and come to terms with it. Through psychedelic therapy, veterans can finally gain a sense of closure and move on to live fulfilling lives.

The Heroic Hearts Project is one organization that Jared works with to assist veterans seeking psychedelic therapy. This nonprofit offers financial support for veterans to attend retreats and provides integration coaching to help them integrate their experiences.

In this episode of The Mindfulness Experience Podcast, host Keith Fiveson is joined by Jennifer Chesak, an award-winning freelance science and medical journalist. She is the author of The Psilocybin Handbook for Women and a conference speaker at the Wonderland Miami 2023 Conference. Jennifer talks about her work on microdosing and magical mushrooms, the benefits of psychedelics in medicine, and how they can assist in diverse mental health conditions.

Jennifer highlights that the renewed interest in psychedelics is driven by the growing mental health space and the success of screenings and clinical trials that have shown promising results. She also discusses the differences between women and men in terms of processing psilocybin and other psychedelics. According to her research, women tend to feel the effects of psychedelics more intensely and for a longer time than men.

Microdosing, according to Chesak, involves taking a small and controlled amount of psychedelics, which can have a wide range of benefits, including improved creativity, mood, and productivity. While there are no long-term studies on the effects of microdosing, anecdotal evidence suggests that it is safe and effective for most people.

Chesak notes that psychedelics could become an alternative treatment for addiction, depression, and anxiety. However, she believes the stigma must be addressed to enable mainstream adoption. Chesak suggests that integrated therapies, such as mindfulness practices and therapy sessions, could help overcome the stigma and address the concerns of people who may be hesitant to try psychedelics.

Overall, this episode of The Mindfulness Experience Podcast provides valuable insights into the world of psychedelics and their potential medical benefits.

With over a decade of experience in the field, Christopher has dedicated his life to working with Salvia as a medicine and empowering individuals to use it in a supportive, informative, and enlightening manner.

As a holder of a BA in Psychology from the University of Texas at Dallas and trained in somatic psychotherapy from the Hakomi Institute of California, Christopher merges his vast knowledge and expertise to create a unique approach to working with Salvia. He also holds Holistic and integrative Nutrition certifications and has completed the Body-mind-centering training at the School for Body-Mind Centering with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen.

Its active ingredient, salvinorin A, is the most potent psychoactive compound known to man. Salvia operates uniquely, unlike other plant medicines used for mindfulness practices, providing a transformative experience for people who use it.

Christopher's Salvia pipe is designed to aid in mindful plant exploration. It is an essential tool that enhances people's experience by providing a way to take the smoke from Salvia in a measured way, supporting them to take in the plant's energy in a mindful and controlled manner.

Welcome to the Mindfulness Experience podcast!  I’m Keith Fiveson, your host.

On this show, I had the pleasure of speaking with Matthias Schmitt, an avid solar eclipse chaser and astronomy educator. Matthias has been involved in astronomy outreach for over ten years, teaching kids and adults about the wonders of space!

Matthias had a thriving career in financial services, then was the Executive Producer of the Space Racers TV show.  But, after a solar eclipse, he decided to chase the stars and complete his graduate certificate in astronomy from Swinburne University. 

He is currently working on his Master of Science in Astronomy, works for the National Park Service, and runs a thriving Stargazing company near Zion, Utah.

On this show, Matthias offers his insightful perspective on how the stars connect us to the mysteries of the Cosmos, galaxies millions of light years away, and our celestial neighborhood. But more importantly, how they connect us nearby, to each other, by opening up opportunities to transform our perceptions about all human beings. Thank you for listening!
