This week's episode is with Jessica Rector - a former Stilettos on the Ground guest. Jessica's last episode focused on her expertise as a pelvic floor physical therapist, but now she's back to speak about something completely different. In 2020, Jessica made a shift to pursue psychedelic healing - which put very simply is inducing a state of elevated consciousness in order to either heal past traumas or access higher versions of the self.It's no secret that the word "psychedelic" has a big stigma attached to it - and this is something Jessica addresses head on during this conversation. She also discusses the body of research that demonstrates the positive effects of psychedelic healing on the brain and the many ways an elevated state of consciousness can be achieved - using anything from breath work, cannabis, plant medicines, or man made substances. The common theme is that Jessica and her clients approach this healing with proper intention and purpose. This is a fascinating interview and it's truly amazing to see how much Jessica has been able to help her clients with this work.Follow JR on Instagram:@sacredpsychedelics@ptforyourprivatesEpisode produced by Wendel Topper: https://createk.us/
