In this episode of Cool Change, I share one of the most transformative experiences of my life—my journey with Ayahuasca. For decades, I lived with a deeply rooted fear tied to my heart health, stemming from childhood experiences with my father’s repeated heart crises. After a casual lunch with a trusted friend, I found myself embarking on an unexpected path—one that led me to confront my fear through Ayahuasca, a plant medicine known for its profound spiritual and healing properties.
In this episode, I take you through each step of that journey—starting with the preparation, to the intense three nights of ceremony, and the life-changing lessons I received from Ayahuasca. I reflect on how it reframed my understanding of my heart, not just as an organ but as the core of my emotional and spiritual being. Whether you're curious about Ayahuasca, grappling with your own fears, or simply love stories of transformation, this episode has something to offer.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The power of intention when entering an Ayahuasca journey
How childhood trauma and unresolved fear can manifest in our adult lives
The transformative experience of letting go of fear
The spiritual, emotional, and physical lessons Ayahuasca can offer
How my relationship with my heart—both physically and emotionally—was changed forever
Key Quotes:
"Ayahuasca told me: 'You will be remembered as a man with a very good heart.' And in that moment, I knew it wasn’t just about physical health—it was about how I live, love, and serve."
"What I once saw as a source of anxiety—those heart palpitations—became reminders, love taps, pushing me to go out and do something meaningful with my heart."
"Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for help, and Ayahuasca put me in a position where I had no choice but to ask."
