Brain Mapping and Plant Medicine

Ep 198 w/ Luke Jensen

We moved to the Sacred Valley, Peru last October, where my wife and I first met.

The area is known for plant medicine healing, particularly huachuma (a cactus species naturally containing mescaline.)

While psychedelics aren’t really my thing anymore, it’s been fascinating meeting those on that journey and how some are merging traditional shamanism with modern medicine.

I recently met Luke Jensen, a Marine who healed his PTSD with a combination of plant medicine and brainmapping— a relatively new biofeedback technology where a person can learn to retrain neural patterns.

Many have learned to rewrite lifelong anxiety, negative thinking, and even psychosomatic disorders with this technology.

He joined me on the podcast to speak on healing neuroses, shamanic vs medical approaches, society and the collective consciousness, and some of our common experiences in the good ole’ USMC.

Also on Apple and all the other podcasting apps.

If you haven’t yet, would you rate the Ruwando Podcast on your preferred app? It would mean a lot. Thank you.

Tomorrow we’re going to touch a bit on politics on an episode on The Political Gender Gap: Why Men are Leaning Right and Women are Leaning Left.

(Don’t worry, I’m not going to address the election. And I have an optimistic spin on this divide, despite the fear p*rn around it.)
