Much of what I do for my Creative Journey clients is give them a felt experience of something they didn’t know existed. Once we know it exists, we can set about shifting our lives so we can feel more of it.
Last night I went out dancing with some friends. I don’t like to drink alcohol so I brought a little Ketamine. I hadn’t ever gone out dancing with it. Mostly my experience was in coming down from MDMA, moving around my house, or spilling my guts to a friend. I thought that this was worth a shot.
The verdict is in … Ketamine is compatible with dancing in a club! I loved it. It quieted my evaluating mind - the inner critic. I hadn’t realized how distracted I usually am in evaluating everything - the quality of the venue, the DJ, the scene, the situation, the crowd, my own dancing. I am known as someone who is very uninhibited on the dance floor so feeling this difference was a surprise to me.
How much more joy I have the capacity for when I am not consumed with evaluating everything! When that voice went silent, I noticed what it felt like to not feel too old, too stiff, too awkward, too weird or too anything.
One of my most recent Anniversary Refresh clients had a heart-cracking open experience. It is very intense to learn in middle age that there is a way of feeling that has been off-limits to you for your entire life for some reason. You have somehow not been able to access this bliss, this connection that you have heard about. You almost didn’t believe it existed. But then it did for you. You could feel this and it would change your life. Every element of your life must adjust to reorient to this increased range of experience.
Now you know it exists. Now you can get there again.
