My path to spirituality began right before I dropped out of college during my senior year. I was depressed in an unhealthy relationship, and was hiding severe ptsd for years and developed a heavy reliance on alcohol and had no motivation to do anything or get out of bed. At this time my best friend just got back from a plant medicine trip in Peru and I had so many questions. He came back a completely different person and I was very desperate for a change. Seeing how plant medicine and meditation helped my close friend. I decided to drop out of college and end my relationship to focus on my mental health. During this time I booked a trip 6 months out to the Amazon in Peru to work with shamans and plant medicine. During these 6 months I attended therapy sessions every week, did breath work and meditations every night and read countless books on how to reprogram the subconscious and the science behind change. through all of this work in these 6 months I completely stopped drinking alcohol and noticed an amazing shift in my mental health. When I got to Peru and started working with plant medicine I completely surrendered my past self, letting go of the past allowing myself to return back as someone different. But the journey of spirituality never ends. There is always something to work on and improve about yourself. Like layers of an onion continually stripping away bad habits and unconscious living to transcend as a better person then you were the previous day.
