Becoming the Medicine: A Twenty-Year Journey Through Plant Spirit Healing, Spiritual Awakening and Unity Consciousness

The world is beautiful beyond words. But to see it, you must first survive the fire.

Becoming the Medicine is the real-time account of a twenty-year journey back to truth.

What started out as a shamanic initiation in the Peruvian jungle, unfolded into a lifelong mission to integrate the medicine inside the matrix of the Western world.

Through flower essences and years of daily practice, one man documents the unraveling of fear, identity, and control.

This is a raw, lived map of what happens to the human mind, body, and energy field during real spiritual transformation.

Written from inside the fire, this is awakening as it unfolds.

"A few days later, the anxiety hit a maximum. I was driving my partner to work, and I couldn't do it. I couldn't drive any further. I had to stop the car. I pulled over, let her out, turned around, and immediately headed home.

I was bedridden with relentless, unbearable levels of anxiety, nothing like I had ever felt before. I had to occupy my mind any way I could. I couldn't bear to have a thought of my own. Every single one was overwhelmed with fear. Physically, I was in the arms of my partner, a broken man. Spiritually, I was on my knees.

That night, in the dark of the bedroom at the peak of anxiety, I saw the jaguar spirit of Una de Gato eating negative energy from my head. It was an intense, colourful vision. I peered straight into powerful, mesmerising eyes, and then it lovingly licked my forehead! I sighed, as days of tension were released. It was the reassurance I needed to know the medicine was by my side as I walked through the fire.

It would never leave."

The path is real.

The medicine is calling.

But it's going to cost you everything you thought you were.
