In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Rebecca. She shares her story of overcoming the deep depression following the birth of her son. She did it working with Iboga, Peyote and Ayahuasca — who continues to bring her messages. So, let’s hear from Rebecca.
We discussed:
- Depression, a rock-bottom experience
- Young son, depression beyond post-partum
- Got so desperate, reached out in consciousness and got a response
- There was no remedy for depression
- Rejected Catholocism and spirituality
- Stumbled across ways out of depression
- Depression medications so hard to get off of
- Found a documentary about nutritional supplements
- Decided to end meds cold turkey, with certain supplements
- Worked with an energy healer; profound experience
- Did research, found shamanism
- Worked from state of open curiosity
- In research, found Iboga. Asked, “Is this for me? When will I do it?” Got a psychedelic-like visual, beautiful, followed by a serious closeup of blades of green grass. Yes, it’s for me. In the spring.
- Beautiful Iboga experience
- A lot of positive changes, major events within six months after Iboga; big change
- Then looked for Ayahuasca while in Mexico
- Couldn’t find it, but there was a reason for that
- Found Peyote; dark experience; helped break through barrier
- The answer you need is in you
- But there was insight waiting the next morning; started to shed layers; breaking through intellectualizing
- On to Ayahuasca, it was ready for her
- Ayahuasca (La Madre) showed up as an insect, “You’re one of us.”
- Demonstrated the power of the mind. Intimate, personal experiences
- Found purpose; shown two microphones
- Kept getting the same message: speak, sing
- Felt suppressed as a child; family dynamics
- Returned to bury the crystal
- Still getting lessons from Ayahuasca
- We have a responsibility to change our lives; self love; learn about ourselves
- We find psychedelics because we haven’t had that grounding
- Depression had to happen to bring her to the medicine
- We all experience it differently; we’re all so much more than it seems in this life; ego plays no role
