Q. Lauren, we have no words. We are both in full chills and tears as we listen to you share this journey. So before we wrap up this powerful conversation, we have one last question for you… What would you say to someone who is aware they have a discomfort in their life — where they know something needs to change — but they haven’t the first clue where to start? What are some steps they could take toward their soul alignment? So on the plant medicine path, there are two aspects of healing that I think are the premise and foundation of everything I teach. When you are healing, you are doing two things: You are clearing what no longer serves you AND you are calling in what you want. That happens in tandem. You release the old and make space for the new. What’s important about that cycle is that any of these plant medicines are purgative. For example, Kambo is the medicine of sovereignty. It focuses on clearing things out of your system — ridding the body and spirit of any old, stagnant, toxic energies. A lot of times, in the online space, people tell you to ‘just manifest’ whatever you desire. And to an extent, that can work. That’s what I was doing at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey — you feel a niggle, you feel the misalignment and you think to yourself, Let me just slap more money on top of that, or let me just build a business on top of that without ever addressing the root cause of that misalignment. So we get stuck in this cycle of putting more upon more in our life. Whereas plant medicine will ask you to strip yourself of any excess, any misalignment. It will show you the root. And ask you to have the courage to lean into the shifts you know you need. It will ask you to surrender deeply. Let go of things that are disjointed, overwhelming and occupying heavy space in your life. So a very simple way to do this is by going into your closet and getting rid of all the clothes that don’t fit. Go into your kitchen — declutter your cabinets. Donate what you no longer need — bless and release it. Clear things in your home environment. Clean up things on your laptop or phone. Clean up things in your business. When you start doing this, there is a very visceral psychosomatic response that takes place in your body. It’s reminding your body energetically that you no longer need to hold onto everything. You can release what once served you, with love and respect.This way, your mind, your body, and your spirit energetically connect to the response of this pattern and get onboard with creating spaciousness in every way so you can ascend to your next evolution.
