<p dir="ltr">Ayahuasca, more than anything else, has helped me continuously turbocharge my healing, awakening, and ever-increasing service capacity. But does objective scientific research show similar benefits for others?</p> <p dir="ltr">In this 43-minute episode, I explore this question with <strong>Sheryl Attig, Ph.D</strong>. She’s <strong>an expert on the benefits and dangers of ayahuasca</strong> and other psychedelics. She even serves as an expert witness in psychedelic-related legal matters. </p> <p dir="ltr">I love how Sheryl’s eloquence and keen intellect make all this easy to understand. I also appreciate that her years of personal experience with psychedelics give her an insider’s perspective.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>This is the first of two episodes featuring Sheryl.</strong> In this one, we focus on the scientifically documented benefits and dangers of ayahuasca. Next time, we’ll expand our discussion to include LSD and magic mushrooms. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>My Resources</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Free video: <a href= "https://www.astroshaman.com/invocations/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instant Divine Assistance: Your Free Guide to Fast and Easy Awakening, Healing, and More.</a> I lead you through all four types of my invocations!</p> <p>Learn about <a href= "https://www.astroshaman.com/services/vip-day/">VIP Day</a>: your potent opportunity for profound personal transformation!</p> <p>Check out my #1 Amazon bestseller: <em>Instant Divine Assistance: Your Complete Guide to Fast and Easy Spiritual Awakening, Healing, and More</em>. </p> <ul> <li>Available as an <a href= "https://www.audible.com/pd/B0CGTL39K3/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-365721&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_365721_rh_us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">audiobook</a> narrated by yours truly.
