9. LIFE STORY: Honoring Your Path and The Healing Power of Entheogens with Ana Jaia
The prospect of healing with psychedelic medicines and entheogens have been making mainstream news for a while now. In fact, my new home state of Colorado just passed a bill legalizing the personal use of Psilocybin (mushrooms.) There is a steady stream of research coming out proving the efficacy and usefulness of a lot of these medicines to help heal trauma and many other psychological issues. Probably the most well known is the MAPS program. (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies)
If you have ever been interested in this modality or are just really curious about the new flurry of attention directed at these molecules for the purpose of healing, this episode is for you.
Please meet, Ana Jaia, or as some of her clients have called her, “the archeologist of the subconscious.” She has become an incredibly special person in my life with an absolutely incredible story. She is a truth teller and gifted healer who shoots straight with a gigantic heart.
Ana’s life mission is to help people remember who they are. Her spiritual path started in her early 20s after she moved from her homeland of Mexico to the U.S. to study music.
Her mission became even clearer when she was summoned by the plant teachers to give her gift of service to communities in an even deeper way.
Her education spans a wide range of modalities. In addition to being a certified Life Coach, her training includes, Sound Healing, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Shadow Work, Quantum Healing, Psych-K and Ho’oponopono to name a few.
Ana weaves decades of experiential education and curriculum development with the teachings of plant and earth allies in order to co-create The New Paradigm Mystery School. Within this context she guides participants toward reconnecting to their ancestral roots and remembering their true calling.
Ana’s commitment to deep listening has led her down the path of teaching, helping people heal individually and in groups and building a beautiful community in the beautiful mountains above Boulder, CO. She has most recently turned toward the profound responsibility of becoming an elder to her community.
Just a few highlights from this very real, honest and raw conversation:
the reality of healing with entheogenic medicines, including my personal stories
being with big transitions
tapping into our own wisdom
identifying when magic sparks
our perspective of unconditional self-love
how science is catching up with what ancient intelligence has known for thousands of years
her fascinating story of growing up in Mexico, leaving for the US at 17 years old, marrying a rocket scientist and how her path led her to her current work
This woman is a treasure and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
