E4: Listen to the Gong - with Ieesha Nyeshiahn
Manage episode 405388038 series 3553145
It’s not often that you get to talk to a therapist, who can bring both a deep personal, experiential lense and research-backed scientific lense to a conversation on psychedelics.
I’d like to introduce you to Ieesha Nyeshiahn, a transpersonal psychologist, who many years ago became a little disenfranchised with her profession.
This kickstarted started a trip around the world that landed her in the Mexican desert learning the way of the sacred toad from the indigenous tribes. She is now working with other therapists and research institutions to help explore how this powerful medicine can help heal people from a range of psychological challenges.
We explore one of her first experiences that opens up a door to a conversation about integration. Specifically how critical it is to cultivate your ability to deeply listen to life, ourselves, nature and others to hear the truth.
This notion of returning to truth using the sound of the gong as a metaphor has helped me re-orient myself to my centre ever since we had this conversation.
