Psychedelics And The Intelligence of the Heart
The intelligence of the heart plays a crucial role in psychedelic healing, offering a deeper way of knowing beyond the analytical mind. Research from HeartMath highlights the heart’s unique nervous system and its ability to regulate emotions and cognition through heart-brain coherence. Authors like Kimberly Snyder and Stephen Harrod Buhner explore how the heart serves as an organ of perception, a concept long understood by indigenous traditions that use the heart to communicate with plant medicines. At Ceremonia, we integrate heart-centered practices such as cacao ceremonies and meditation to support emotional processing and integration. By cultivating heart intelligence, we create a foundation for deep healing, connection, and transformation.
Winter Solstice and the Ancient Roots of Healing
The winter solstice, the longest night of the year, is a time of profound reflection and renewal. Rooted in ancient traditions and nature’s rhythms, this season offers opportunities for emotional and spiritual healing, inviting us to slow down, integrate, and connect with the cycles of life. From the symbolism of Santa Claus in shamanic mythology to the transformative potential of plant medicine, the solstice serves as a portal for inner growth and gratitude. By honoring these traditions, we align with the earth’s wisdom, preparing for the light and growth of the seasons ahead.
