Being Grounded!

What is that anyway?

We talk about becoming grounded through the medicines, Kambo and Iboga, often. Particularly, by being ‘grounded’ through mental, emotional and physical pain. Which in this context means to be present through the experience that is happening without flying off the handle, or running away from things. Or in the more introspective sense, being drawn into the mental round-a-bout of suffering through the thoughts that are triggered about the situation.

Both the Kambo and Iboga are medicines that bring you back to your senses. In the case of the Kambo, it’s by cleansing blockages and parasites in the body, mind and spirit. Leaving you with a sense of be clear and empty of distraction. To reunite your full attention and life force energy with the feedback of your senses. By coming back to your senses in the most literal sense.

These medicines allow your conscious awareness the full occupation of your body, without any thoughts overpowering your mental and physical real-estate.

We can even joke about how it’s the ground up root bark of the Iboga shrub that helps you to root your attention into the present moment without being so distracted and anxious by what is happening. What better way to ‘get grounded’ in your life and your own experience without being distracted by old physical habits of the mind, body and spirit.

The present moment is a beautiful place to be ‘grounded’ into. It’s where choices are available to see and act upon to make a constructive changes to any situation.

Iboga has the particular personality that uproots pain and psychosomatic behaviours born out of suffering and trauma to be uprooted and ‘ground up’ into bite size pieces, to overcome in your response to life and personal challenges.

It’s a precious gift to be here now, to let go of the past fully, and take your power back to live life with all your ability to choose a better way.
