#101: He Gave Me A Natural DMT Release From Just 10 Deep Breaths… (Explained)
Not really sure what just happened here… I’d explain, but I was out of my body. In 10 breaths, Luke Kohen sent me to another place. I started jumping around the floor while I was unconscious…
Luke is a trauma expert, he heals high achievers from the ruts they evidently put themselves in from being a Type A, driven person constantly chasing the next thing.
Key Discussion Points:
The 10-breath experience that sent Chris into a natural DMT release
The nervous system is a “tree” bridging body and spirit
How unresolved trauma hides as twitches, jolts, and hypervigilance
The dark tunnel we all go through
Maybe going around Everest is better than climbing it?
AND MUCH MUCH MORE
