Your Inner Child Loves The Hobbit - Psychedelic Integration and The Dwarves - Red Things on Tuesday
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Your Inner Child Loves The Hobbit.The 5-year-old and I read The Hobbit over the summer, and it has given us lots to think about. It's also led to one of my proudest parenting moments. We were making sandwiches for a hike, and he was spreading peanut butter onto some bread. It was a bit lumpy and patchy, and he pointed it out, saying, "It's fine." I countered, "No, dude, spread it all the way to the edges. You got this." He questioned, "Why should I?" I said, "You know the dwarves, how they take so much pride in the craftsmenship of the armor and the jewelry that they make?" "Yeah?" "That's why." He nodded, "Ok, " And finished his sandwich with elegant craftsmanship. That was that. That made perfect sense to him. Be like the dwarves. Like Elrond. Like Bilbo. I was so pleased with myself until I realized, Oh, now I have to live up to this standard as well. You know I can be a little sloppy from time to time. I've got to keep it tight if I want the kids to keep it tight. I've learned over time that psychedelics aren't going to cure the-thing-we-call-ADHD, but it does tend to ameliorate it for a bit. I see details I sometimes overlook, I'm reminded that there are parts of me that are quite soothed by precision, organization, and simplicity. I'm reminded that care is often best expressed by slowness and depth, not by speeding through a million tasks created out of thin air by a diverging mind. Lions mane and l-theanine seem to help. For so many of us, psychedelic integration means slowing down, going deeper, and operating with a little more care. It means putting a bit more love into our sandwich. Creating work we can stand behind. Elevating our craft. Success means a little more discipline, a little more consistency. It also means be honest about where we are at, and finding the balance of accepting ourselves as we are while also working to get a little better. Cool. If that's something you'd like to work on with me, you're welcome to reach out for some 1:1 coaching, or you can also join our weekly mastermind group, the Golden Road. The road is a great place for psychedelic professionals to work together to be a little more wise like wizards, strong like warriors, venerable as dwarves, and kind as hobbits. It meets Thursdays at noon eastern, and there are master classes with guest teachers as well.

Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Have you met time travellers? "If time travel is a real thing, where are all the time travellers?" I've met time travelers. They're at Grateful Dead shows. (present tense!) Grateful Dead shows are timeless. Time travellers gravitate towards timeless places, I believe. Television and movies would have you believe that they flock to singular historical events, but that's only part of it. It certainly makes for better TV to have a bunch of...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. The hero in our bodies I need to remind myself to be the hero of my yoga practice sometimes. I need to remind myself not to let myself off the hook and play the victim. I had Achilles tendon surgery a few years back. It affects my balance poses. The pose on one foot is very different from that on the other. It would be really easy for me to write it off. I catch myself making excuses, telling myself it's ok to give up. It's never going...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Pumpkin Spice Lemon Tek Ginger, Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Lemon, Mushrooms. It's autumn. Why not? There are plenty of people in the world who use peanut butter and jelly as their ceremonial offering. I've seen pictures of the little saints decorating slices of cheese pizza. To each their own. Spices aren't high on the list of sacrileges, I think. We're spice people. We love the touch of a cinnamon stick. The pop of a cardamom pod. The...
