What if your sexual fantasies could be the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of your ego? Brace yourself for an intense discussion as I chat to with the captivating Artemisia de Vine, a former professional dominatrix and sex worker. We dive into the fascinating rabbit hole of sexual fantasies, exploring everything from the innocuous to the unconventional, and how they can be acknowledged and harnessed in a healthy manner for maximum pleasure.Artemisia dissects the intricate relationship between our sexual fantasies and our ego, specifically focusing on the three 'S's of ego - self-identity, status, and self-worth. We ponder the concept of embodied play and talk about how forming an embodied relationship with desire can turn it into a beautiful ally. The conversation intensifies as we journey into our unconscious desires and analyze how our nervous system reacts to stress and trauma. Artemisia provides a unique perspective on how these automatic responses are actually tactics for self-preservation and how we can repurpose stories as a medium to prioritize our pleasure.She also talks about "The deVinery Method", a system she designed to help with unlocking our sexual fantasies, as well as how understanding the three guards of ego can help us access and embrace our taboo fantasies. Our conversation also gravitates towards Artemisia’s personal experiences and insights, which shed light on the psychology behind our intimate yearnings. If you've ever been curious about the psychology behind fantasies or are looking for ways to bring your own fantasies to life, this episode is a must-listen.Thanks for listening!

How can we break free of the limitations of ego and truly be ourselves in every single moment of our lives? Join me today as I chat with Martin Ball, former 5-MeO-DMT facilitator and host of The Entheogenic Evolution Podcast, about how to tap into our authentic selves and transcend the limiting stories we think we have to live by.Our conversation takes us on a journey through Martin's experiences with 5-MeO-DMT, magic mushrooms, his embodiment practice as well as the various creative projects he's involved in (books, music, art and more). We delve into the importance of carving out time for creative pursuits (such as music) and explore radical non-dualism, the role of the ego and how to access our embodied and animalistic nature to get out of the thought-filled mind and into no-holds-barred presence.Interestingly, what Martin talks about is almost identical to what I teach in The Daily Growl and The Rageheart Academy (which is why I wanted to get him on The Rageheart Podcast). Stop thinking, start feeling and unleash the beast inside you.  At the end of the day, it's all about remembering who and what you truly are... with OR without psychedelics and plant medicine.Thanks for listening!

In late 2018, I had one of my first ayahuasca ceremonies and it blew me apart (in both good and bad ways). The ceremony itself was great but afterwards, I had a lot of trouble coming back to my day-to-day life. Bills? Rent? Work? What are these things again?I remember feeling like I was in a boat and I couldn't see the shore I'd left anymore... but I also couldn't see the other side of the lake yet. It was disorienting, uncomfortable and scary.Around that time, I stumbled across Kat Courtney, a psychedelic integration coach who works specifically with ayahuasca. While we only had 1 phone call, she gave me some great advice at the time and helped me make sense of my insane introduction to ayahuasca.It's now 4 years later and I'm doing better than I ever have - thanks to Ayahuasca, psychedelics and solid advice from people like Kat Courtney.With that in mind, I invited her onto the The Rageheart Podcast to talk about all things psychedelics, going to prison, embodiment and more.Thanks for listening!

Seth Lyon is the first person I met in the nervous system healing world.I discovered him after punching "TRE vs somatic experiencing" into Google. That led me to an article that he'd written and after reading that, I was sold. Something told me... this is it. This is what I've been searching for. I don't know how I knew but I just knew.Immediately after reading the article, I clicked over to his wife's website and signed up for one of her nervous system healing programs. 1 month later, I signed up to her big 3 months course. Then 6 months after that, I started working with Seth 1-on-1.It has been one of the most thrilling and also challenging journeys of my entire life. These days, I compare everything else to the nervous system approach I first heard about from Seth. It has become the standard or benchmark by which I measure everything else. The nervous system stuff... and psychedelics. In my experience, nothing else comes close to the transformative power of these 2 approaches.In this episode, I talk to Seth about both of these things and much more. The world of nervous system healing. Psychedelics like magic mushrooms, ayahuasca and DMT. Cannabis too. Why common techniques like meditation, yoga, breathwork and energy work often fail to scratch the surface when it comes to trauma and nervous system dysregulation. Past lives and meditation retreats. Living in Hawaii to escape from society and then one day moving back to live in the city. It was a blast to record this podcast episode with Seth Lyon and also to edit it up for Rageheart. I hope it's a blast for you to listen to as well 💪Enjoy!Thanks for listening! Want to reduce anxiety, reverse depression and stop your racing mind dead in its tracks?
