A Message From Mamma Mushroom

I recently participated in a psilocybin-assisted healing ceremony, guided by a shamanic practitioner and psychotherapist. 

The experience was transformative with profound insights that reshaped my understanding of myself and the challenges I face.

During the ceremony, as the medicine got to work, my sense of self started to dissolve, and a deep emotional opening occurred. 

It was as if a star had burst within me, radiating outwards through every fibre of my being.

In this state, a powerful message emerged from deep within:

"You are lovable and enough just as you are. You don’t need to be the best coach, husband, friend, son—nothing more. With all your fears, worries, self-doubts, shame, mistakes, and transgressions, you are enough."

This wasn't an external voice imposing a belief—it was an inner truth resonating through my entire body. 

The realisation brought me to tears, and I spent hours overwhelmed by the beauty and intensity of this revelation.

This message isn’t just for me;

it’s universal. 

It applies to everyone, including you. 

Take a moment to notice any resistance you might feel toward this idea. 

Pay attention to any urge to dismiss it. 

As I've continued to reflect on this during my integration process, I realised my own resistance was rooted in fear—a fear that accepting I am enough might mean I stop striving or lose motivation.

But what if the opposite is true? 

What if, by embracing our inherent enoughness, we find ourselves more motivated, our actions infused with love, joy, and energy? 

What if acknowledging our worthiness is the first step toward a more authentic and fulfilling life?

Now, I invite you to self-reflect on these questions:

• What fears might be holding you back from believing you are enough as you are?

• How might your life change if you acted from a place of self-acceptance and enoughness?

• Imagine a day lived knowing you are enough, worthy, and lovable. What does that day look like for you?

Take a few moments to reflect on these questions. 

Write down your thoughts, or simply sit with them. 

This journey of self-discovery is not about finding quick answers, but about beginning to ask the right questions.
