On this episode of Mountain Mantras, I interview Amanda Monnier, an Energy Healer and Mindset Coach. Amanda knows that she was put on this earth to support people in waking up and remembering who they are. 

Amanda empowers her clients and helps them heal from the inside out, break ancestral patterns, and shift into the fullest embodiment of who they are at a soul level.

We summarize topics with 7 mantras that will help you bring your own personal power back fully on line:

Mantra #1:  Spiritual awakenings come in all flavors, colors, shapes and feelings.

Mantra #2:  Spiritual awakenings are often not fun, but you can remember this: “Better out than in”.

See Emily Fletcher and I sing this “mantra” during my interview with her in episode 105.

Mantra #3: The “how” of creating an alignment between the heart and soul is to raise your frequency. 

Mantra #4: We are on the cusp of the golden age when we will wake up to the essence of who we are (love, joy, ease, flow, etc.).

Manta #5: Set an intention to connect with your higher self, then drop into your body.

We mention Lumari, her book, and my interview with her about Streams of Consciousness.

Mantra #6:  Look for the “full body yes” when making decisions.

Mantra #7: Take what resonates and leave the rest.

Today we dive into a particular plant medicine, mescaline, the active ingredient in San Pedro (Wachuma).

Dr. Isabel Sharkar is a naturopathic doctor and the co-founder of Indigo Integrative Health Clinic in Washington, D.C.  Dr. Isabel, who I call “Izzy” throughout the interview given our personal connection, has been serving the community in health restoration and body optimization for over a decade. She is known as a beauty expert and has some interesting insights for us on purging, healing, beauty, and anti-aging.

Izzy beams through to us from Portugal, where many plant medicines have been decriminalized. 

We summarize our discussion with 10 powerful mantras about healing, be that through plant medicine or other techniques Izzy mentions including health food, water, hot/cold therapy, detoxification, meditation, vagal nerve stimulation, and simply being in nature.

Mantra #1: The pandemic has created polarization and separation. We need a way out… see Mantra #2.

Mantra #2:  Be present, breathe, listen, bring in love and remember the ultimate desire for connection. 

Mantra #3: True healing happens on all levels:  mind, body, and soul.

We reference the books When the Body Says No (​​https://smile.amazon.com/When-Body-Says-Understanding-Stress-Disease/dp/1630262560/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1644009563&sr=1-) and The Body Keeps the Score (https://smile.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0670785938/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1644009654&sr=1-1)

Mantra #4: When the student is ready, the teacher appears (this is true for plant medicine as a master teacher).

Mantra #5: Carrying around years and pounds of emotional baggage is NOT a good look! (Purging and healing can make you look ten years younger!). 

Mantra #6: San Pedro is a master teacher (plant); It is considered “grandfather”.

Mantra #7: San Pedro can allow what so many of us need in this day and age: movement, being in nature, and the slowing down of time.

Mantra #8: Mescaline (the active ingredient in San Pedro) has many healing properties (supports immune function, anti-microbial, supportive in healing the gut lining, reduction in alcohol abuse, reduction in suicidal thoughts, activates serotonin and dopamine).

Mantra #9: Integration is key and takes time.
See the previous episode with Sam Liebowitz where we talk extensively about integration: https://makeeverythingfun.com/radio/ep116-sam-liebowitz/

Mantra #10: It all starts with intention.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’ll introduce you to my guest, Odette Peek. Odette is a Transformational Guide, Spiritual Ally & Psychedelic Integration Coach. She was searching for a healing modality to help her get through a very difficult time when she was called to do Ayahuasca. In our conversation, you’ll hear more about her own personal journey as well as how she is helping others.

We summarize our discussion with 6 powerful mantras about healing and the importance of looking at each healee as a unique individual.

Mantra #1: Plant medicine has a way of calling those that are ready.

Mantra #2: Change happens from the inside out.

Mantra #3: Healing can happen through many different modalities. Everyone is different.

Mantra #4: Healing is a never-ending journey.

Mantra #5:When working with plant medicines, you tend to get what you need, not necessarily what you want.

Mantra #6: Integrity is about applying lessons learned to everyday life.

More about Odette

I’m Odette - Transformational Guide, Spiritual Ally & Psychedelic Integration Coach. Many of us feel lost. Our lives feel like an unsolvable puzzle… an emptiness that we can't quite put our finger on. We’re stuck in jobs without meaning, relationships that aren’t fulfilling our deep desires, lives that feel boring, dull, and mediocre at best - or worse; toxic, draining, and unfulfilling to our soul. Somewhere along the way we’ve lost the magic. I know exactly what that feels like. I’d been a seeker and an achiever my entire life. So I worked hard to tick off all the boxes society says you must do. I had lived a life in the fast lane when it came to personal development - years of investing in expensive coaches, 100’s of programs, experimenting with all kinds of conventional (and not-so-conventional) healing methods to fix me. I had tried everything to help me but NOTHING had gone to the root of my discontentment. I was so desperate I would have tried ANYTHING. When I was invited to a retreat in Costa Rica that included Ayahuasca, I said yes on a whim. Aya - what?? I’d never heard of it before...

What is fun for Odette Peek?

• Doing plant medicine! hanging out with my daughters
• Eating cake for breakfast
• Living in Costa Rica

Thank you everyone for your questions about plant medicine.

I enjoyed your emails, texts, and even those questions that I got while coming and going from yoga class. :)

To help us explore these questions together, I’ve brought some amazing guests together for a podcast series about healing through plant medicine. 

Today’s guest is my dear friend Sam Liebowitz. Sam was a guest previously on my other podcast, Positive on Publishing (LINK TO HIS EP).

Sam returns to discuss his work in energy medicine and other healing modalities. Sam reveals his many projects as a multifaceted human on a mission to help others.  Listen carefully for a discussion of Sam’s beta program around integration and healing in community.

Our discussion unveils 9 powerful mantras; enjoy the interview!

Mantra #1: Learning about healing can unveil the Healer underneath.

Mantra #2:  You can heal and be healed in many ways/ many modalities.

Mantra #3:  The Healer and the Healee co-create the healing (with the Healee, not the Healer, truly driving the process)

Mantra #4:  Facilitation is not fixing.

Mantra #5: Facilitation is about holding space and creating safety for healing.

Mantra #6: Facilitation is about seeing people as already whole without expectations

Mantra #7: Preparation is key

Mantra #8: Less can be more (going slow can be the fastest way)

Mantra #9: Follow-up (integration) is crucial. 
Sam mentions four key elements: rest, whole foods, hydration, and movement; a fifth would be spending time in nature.

Please listen carefully to Sam discuss the need for caution and discernment when thinking about plant medicines.

The Medicine Wheel
Sam described the medicine wheel as containing the four elements of heart, mind, body, and spirit.

In balance, they are:
Heart (water): self-love and connection to others
Mind (fire):  analytics and planning

Body (earth):  feeling grounded and safe in one's body

Spirit (air): feeling connected to something greater than one’s self

Heart (water): example- MDMA
Mind (fire):  example- psilocybin

Body (earth):  example- San Pedro

Spirit (air):  example- ayahuasca
