• Setting intentions for breathwork and plant medicine journeys

• Letting go of limiting beliefs

Episode Highlights:

[03:30] The Amazing Benefits of Cold Plunge

Cold plunges and cold water immersion therapy involve the body's exposure to low temperatures, triggering beneficial stress responses such as increased metabolism, neurotransmitter boost, immune system enhancement, improved circulation, and mental resilience. To make the experience more tolerable, strategies like controlled breathing, muscle tension and release, gradual immersion, setting a timer, and distraction techniques such as counting or meditating can be employed. At home, cold therapy can be practiced through methods like cold showers, ice baths, kiddie pools with ice, cold water bucket dumps, or specially designed cold plunge tubs.

[14:04] The Benefits of Breathwork

The numerous benefits of practicing breathwork include reducing stress and anxiety by slowing the heart rate and relaxing the nervous system, boosting mood through the release of endorphins, sharpening focus and concentration by training the mind to stay present, increasing energy levels by delivering more oxygen to tissues, strengthening the immune system as deep inhales help white blood cells, improving digestion and elimination through abdominal massages, and potentially allowing for altered states with advanced practices that induce meditative or psychedelic experiences.

[22:17] Microdosing Benefits

JP discusses how microdosing psilocybin mushrooms has helped increase his patience, creativity and ability to gain insights. He outlines that a microdose is typically 100mg of dried mushrooms, taking every 3-4 days with breaks in between, and notes it allows normal functioning while experiencing subtle effects. JP credits microdosing with helping "level up" his consciousness and recognize limiting beliefs, comparing it to guided full-dose experiences which require proper intention setting and mindset to unlock deeper healing under a practitioner's supervision.
