This resonates so deeply. The distinction between taking the medicine and walking the medicine path is one I’ve reflected on often, and what I’ve found is that the path itself has guided me beyond psychedelics. In the last four years, I’ve only had two psychedelic experiences, and yet when I tune into the deeper rhythm of the medicine path, I realise that often, psychedelics aren’t what I need at all.
For me, the most potent medicine is often found in altered states that feel more embodied, more predictable for exapmle, ecstatic dance, sweat lodges, pilgrimage. These are the spaces where I still meet the wisdom I seek and where I surrender to something greater. The path is still unfolding, still teaching, even when I’m not working with psilocybin directly. And perhaps that’s the greatest lesson of all, the medicine isn’t the substance itself, but the way we choose to walk, to listen, to integrate.
Thank you for this reflection. it’s a beautiful invitation to deepen our understanding of what it truly means to live in alignment with the sacred.
