Welcome to The Way of the Healer Podcast with Darieth Chisolm, where we delve into the world of plant medicine, consciousness, and healing. In this episode, Darieth is joined by her dear friend Brenda Markstein, a somatic breathwork healer and the owner of Rocas Retreat.

Brenda shares her journey of creating Rocus Retreat, a sanctuary where healers from around the world can come together and heal in a natural, nurturing environment. Brenda also discusses her role as an executive producer on Darieth's documentary project, "The Way of the Healer," which showcases courageous women in the field of plant medicine. Through her own healing journey and the creation of Rocus Retreat, Brenda exemplifies the way of a healer - someone who embraces self-love and extends it to others, creating a ripple effect of healing and transformation.

The first time I experienced the power of plant medicine was during a ceremony with the toad medicine, also known as 5-MeO-DMT. It was a profound and life-altering experience that opened me up to a higher level of consciousness and connected me to the infinite love and wisdom of the universe. I felt a deep sense of surrender and trust in the process, and it was as if I was being guided by a higher intelligence. After that, I began exploring other plant medicines such as ayahuasca and psilocybin mushrooms. Each experience was unique and taught me valuable lessons about myself, my purpose, and the interconnectedness of all beings. I learned to let go of my fears and insecurities and to embrace the beauty and complexity of life. One of the most powerful experiences I had was during a mushroom journey. I felt a deep connection to the mycelium network, the intricate web of fungi that spans beneath the Earth's surface. I saw visions of refugees crossing borders and countries, guided by the mushrooms' wisdom and love. It was a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of all beings and the potential for healing and transformation. Throughout my journey with plant medicine, I've been guided by a deep calling to be of service and make a positive impact in the world. I witnessed the devastating effects of war and violence in war-torn countries and felt a strong desire to help those in need. I traveled to Eastern Europe to support refugees and rescue embryos from war-torn regions, and I continue to advocate for peace, healing, and justice on a global level. Plant medicine has been a powerful tool for personal and collective healing, and I believe that it has the potential to transform our world for the better. It's a journey of self-discovery, growth, and expansion that I'm grateful to be a part of. As we continue to explore the depths of our consciousness and connect with the wisdom of the natural world, we can create a more compassionate, harmonious, and just world for all beings. Join me on this journey of exploration and transformation as we delve into the mysteries of plant medicine, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all life. Through engaging discussions, personal stories, and interviews with experts, we'll uncover the power of plant medicine and its potential to heal ourselves and our world. Whether you're new to plant medicine or a seasoned explorer, this channel is a space for curiosity, growth, and inspiration. Let's embark on this journey together and discover the magic that lies within and around us.

Welcome to another captivating episode of The Way of the Healer! In this installment, we delve into the intriguing world of Shibari, an artful Japanese practice of rope tying that promises much more than meets the eye. But before we unravel the secrets of Shibari, I've got some exciting updates to share.

Instead of confinement, I found a profound sense of liberation and empowerment. The ropes, rather than restricting, set me free. This encounter was a testament that nothing should hinder us from pursuing our desires and dreams. Imagine being suspended in the air, your arms and feet delicately bound, yet feeling a connection to your innermost self like never before. This is the essence of Shibari, synergized with the principles of Tantra, evolving into a potent avenue for healing. In this episode, Heather opens up about the transformative power of Shibari, especially for individuals grappling with deep-seated issues like sexual trauma, PTSD, addiction, and depression. It's a medium for catharsis and rejuvenation, just as it was for me. The enchanting dance of ropes becomes a metaphor for breaking free from the chains that hold us back.

We explore the concept that our beliefs are active vibrations shaping our experiences. When there's an active vibration about something we don't want, it interferes with the signal of what we do want. To deactivate those unwanted thoughts, we must shift our focus to what we genuinely desire. The Law of Attraction responds to the dominant vibrations we emit, which means it keeps delivering more of what we focus on—both the wanted and the unwanted. However, there's a way out and in this episode and video I share a few suggestions.

There is a common quest to discover our highest purpose and mission in life, often accompanied by years of spiritual exploration, meditation, and studying various philosophies and religions. However, self-realization goes beyond mere conceptual understanding. It involves recognizing that everything we seek is already here and available to us in the present moment. This realization surpasses the limits of the law of attraction and our ability to manifest. It is about transcending self-limiting beliefs and embracing the truth of who we are. While it may seem challenging to fully realize our true selves when we struggle with self-love, unworthiness, and feelings of lack, it is precisely in these moments that self-realization becomes the key to our freedom and liberation. We discover that we are whole, complete, and connected to an infinite intelligence that guides us towards love, peace, abundance, and well-being. Throughout the episode, I discuss different paths to self-realization, including meditation, breath work, and even tuning into the high vibrational energy of love and happiness. I share some of my personal examples of how embracing the present moment and expanding into feelings of joy and bliss can lead to profound shifts in our consciousness and experiences.
