   I Took 5 Grams of Mushrooms to Heal My Relationship with Money | BHAS Ep. 5

   I went into this mushroom ceremony with a clear intention: to heal my relationship with money. But the medicine had a completely different plan for how that healing would happen. After taking 5 grams, I expected insights or breakthroughs — instead, I was met with resistance, surrender, and silence. My body shut down. My plans fell apart. And somewhere in all that stillness, the real lesson started to reveal itself. This episode is about what happens when you ask the medicine to show you your blocks… and it does. It’s about control, trust, and learning that abundance doesn’t always come from doing more — sometimes it comes from letting go completely. If you’ve ever tried to force your own healing, this story will feel uncomfortably familiar. In this episode: - Healing your relationship with money through mushrooms - When the medicine says “no” - The illusion of control and the power of rest - Real integration after a 5 gram ceremony - Redefining abundance and self-worth

    How Healing Yourself Can Literally Change the World | Kevin Owens | BHAS Ep. 2

    How can just a handful of people create massive healing in the world? In this episode of BHAS, I sit down with Kevin Owens, one of my best friends and a facilitator at Sowa Charana, as he takes us behind the scenes of ayahuasca and plant medicine retreats to reveal the extraordinary ways personal transformation can ripple out to others.From facing your deepest fears to releasing trapped emotions, Kevin explains why the work done on yourself doesn’t just change your life—it can inspire and heal thousands around you. Dive into the mystery of Icaros (ceremonial songs), purges, and the unseen energetic exchanges that make plant medicine work so profound.What we explore in this episode:- How personal healing becomes a “positive healing virus” that spreads to others.- The power of Icaros: how songs in ayahuasca ceremonies remove negative energies and bring healing.- Why purges—vomiting, crying, laughing, yawning—are essential for energetic release.- The healer as a vessel: how energy flows through songs and mantras instead of being fully controlled.- How energy can transfer between participants, and what it teaches us about ourselves.- Group dynamics in ceremonies: why different people work on different emotions at the same time.- The purpose of plain, simple foods during plant diets: no salt, sugar, or spices for physical and energetic preparation.- How diet, ceremony, and community create a safe space for profound transformation.- Kevin’s reflections on his own healing journey and the wisdom he continues to gain while guiding others.Whether you’re curious about ayahuasca, spiritual growth, or the ways energy and intention shape our lives, this conversation is a deep dive into the unseen forces of healing.If you want to work with Kevin and experience ayahuasca for yourself, check out:https://sowacharana.com/https://www.instagram.com/sowacharana/
