I wrote recently that “Spirit told me to is enough of a reason.” Since most of us were raised steeped in coloniality, which separates us from local knowledge sources, we aren’t raised to trust our gut. Our intuition / personal connection to Spirit is the most local knowledge can get; a person with a robust connection to their own guidance is a threat to pseudo power, which colonization relies on.
Entheogens are anything that help connect you with Spirit. Your gut has things to tell you! Typically entheogens are plants, sometimes these are chemicals. Folks can use their own intense meditation practice or breathwork to reach an entheogenic state.
And, hey, if entheogens are too much of an idea for you, this plan can also just be stay sober and enjoy the experience of art.
I’m a fan of healing with psilocybin and cannabis, so that’s how this entheogenic Prince plan has developed. If you microdose you can use psilocybin or cannabis sub-perceptually. You could just brew a cup of herbal tea and make a connection to the plants in your cup and ask for their guidance. It’s always about the intention, and entheogens are about cultivating a non ordinary state of consciousness so you can hear your intuition clearly.
This is a spiritual experience with Prince Rogers Nelson, who has so much to teach us that we still get to have access to on the Earth plane. I’m infinitely grateful for his body of work and I designed my life to make him a primary influence of mine for four years, devouring interviews, his videos and albums. It helped me develop a sense of value for my body of work and my art that I really needed in order to continue to create.
This experience is designed for what I would call a “party dose” of psilocybin or cannabis. A “glimmer” not a full on hero dose that will make you incapacitated. (I don’t enjoy those and I can’t handle music with lyrics or a jolly walk in the woods when I do them.)
If you’re totally new to psilocybin (or just curious for more info), I have lots of resources to point you to. Here’s a treasure map of all of the podcast episodes I’ve published with women who heal with psilocybin. Here’s my friend Tamara of Mohala Yoga who leads powerful psilocybin microdosing cohorts and can guide you one on one in your use of this wonderful medicine. Here’s my friend Lisa Snyder who leads legal facilitated psilocybin journies in Portland, OR.
The Prince plan!
As you’re prepping your journey or waiting for the medicine to radiate warmth through your body and open up, listen to this interview with Prince and his fav, Tavis Smiley. It’s about 39 minutes of Prince and then ten minutes of the artist Bria Valente he was platforming through his triple cd release in 2009. I get something new out of that interview every time I listen to it.
As the medicine hits, you can choose the order depending on how your experience goes (some people like to dance first and float around later, I prefer the reverse).
Lotusflow3r is the more psychedelic of the two cds Prince released alongside Bria’s album. I think he absolutely designed these songs and this collection to help folks have a spiritual experience and connection. Colonized Mind is on the album and I think it is his most important song and most relevant to our current world.
For me, with plant medicine, I usually like this kind of content first. Something that lets me float around and connect to Spirit. Then I like to use the groovy feelings to dance as I’m coming down from the glimmer, and so then I turn to the next cd in this release after Lotusflow3r.
MPLSound is the groovier, dancier cd of the two. I find that getting embodied and connected to my earth experience with movement is an important part of my healing experiences. And when I can let go of my ego/concern for how I’m moving, which plant medicine helps me do, I can hear/feel messages from Spirit. Try listening to Ol’ Skool Company and not dancing!
Grab a journal and write down what came through! And remember the trifecta for manifestation–write it down, speak it out, think about it.
