This program is designed to provide general information with regards
2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:07.639
to the subject matters covered. This information is given with
3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:12.080
the understanding that neither the hosts, guests, sponsors, or station
4
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:19.160
are engaged in rendering any specific and personal medical, financial, legal, counseling,
5
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.640
professional service, or any advice.
6
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.079
You should seek the services.
7
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:29.640
Of competent professionals before applying or trying any suggested ideas.
8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.159
At the end of the day, it's not about what
9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.479
you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what
10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.039
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,
11
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.679
who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.
12
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.759
Denzel Washington, welcome to inspire Vision. Our sole purpose is
13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.479
to elevate the lives of others and to inspire you
14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:52.200
to do the same.
15
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.920
Londa welcome, Ah, thank you so much. Happy to be here.
16
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.920
Good conversation.
17
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.560
Yeah, that's great.
18
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.040
So let's get started by you sharing with the audience
19
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.879
who you are, what is your background, and what brought
20
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.840
you to the point of doing what you're doing now.
21
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.840
Thank you, Yeah, thank you. I am Linda Stamfire and
22
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:23.200
I work as an intuitive guide and integration therapy. I
23
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:30.879
incorporate modality, dreamwork, sleep, hygiene, microdocing, plant medicines, and I
24
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.159
kind of started my journey really young. My journey began
25
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.400
with this really deep early loss where my mother passed
26
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.519
when I was just two years old. So while I
27
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.719
couldn't name it, something on the inside of me just
28
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.519
kind of learned to live in that survival mode, just
29
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:54.719
that functioning anxiety, by staying high functioning, super aware and
30
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.640
emotionally armored, and all the while operating from this place
31
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.120
where everything on the outside looked okay, but on the
32
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.239
inside was a lot of chaos. So for years that
33
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:11.039
really chased that healing effort, all the modalities, the different courses,
34
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.439
the different classes, and it wasn't sticking. It wasn't I
35
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.240
was more based in proving my worth, earning my love,
36
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.199
and all the while it really was my deep worthiness.
37
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.520
So about I've been writing my practice for in the
38
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.199
healing arts for about twenty years, but about five years
39
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.159
ago I shut the whole thing down, kept a handful
40
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.360
of clients and went into plant medicine because there was
41
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.319
still something in there that just was not grasping, not gripping,
42
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:48.319
and not holding sustainable for me. So I felt flat,
43
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.120
and so I thought, Okay, I'm just gonna invest in myself,
44
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:53.960
and that's when I went into it, and it was
45
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.639
life changing for me. The last few years have catapulted
46
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.840
my life forward more than that have in the fifteen
47
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.240
to twenty years prior to that. So that's how I
48
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:05.960
got started.
49
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.360
Well, and you know, you talk about plant medicine and
50
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.840
I always just kind of pull back a little bit
51
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:14.319
on that.
52
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:16.879
And it's my understanding.
53
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.479
I know that as I've talked to various people, for instance,
54
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.919
I have learned that many psychologists are starting to very
55
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.879
carefully use mushroom plant medicine in order to help people
56
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.560
with PTSD and some of those types of things. And
57
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.319
I'm always curious about because, as I'm sure you know,
58
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.439
it can be so misused and people are out there
59
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.639
using it for totally other reasons of just getting off
60
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:46.919
and so on and so forth.
61
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.240
So number one, how do you use it?
62
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.759
And number two, how do you justify it so that
63
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.719
it doesn't become something that becomes habitual for someone which
64
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.159
can literally ruin their life, versus using it in the
65
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.240
way that you do that can help someone. And what
66
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.840
does it actually do for someone the way that you
67
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:08.240
do it.
68
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.159
Yeah beautiful, and yeah, everything you said very very important.
69
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.879
How do we align with the medicines for what they're
70
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.560
here for? And in general, we're out of rhythm, We're
71
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.240
completely out of rhythm, and these medicines, I believe, are
72
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.079
bringing us back to rhythm, not as a fixing, but
73
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.160
as a remembering, as a tool. So to be aware
74
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.879
that this is not a pill. Like a pill we
75
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.759
take and everything's fixed. This is a medicine that's been
76
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:46.839
here since day one, right, and as an ally to
77
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:52.160
guide us along with the breath work, the integration, the therapy,
78
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.000
all the other things that we bring in, it just
79
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.399
kind of adds to the circle. And first it's really
80
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:03.680
important to understand that they're not addictive, so we don't
81
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.879
take the medicines and then all of a sudden need
82
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.240
or want more. And it also depends on the type
83
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.319
of medicine with that we're using and why we're using it.
84
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.439
So I work with two particular ones, which is Amanita
85
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.160
muscaria and that's the red and white mushroom and then
86
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.839
psilocybin and Amanita muscaria restores the body. So if you
87
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:32.199
look at amanita as tilling the field, psilosyme is going
88
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.000
to come in and aerate. So silosyme is going to
89
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.600
bring these emotions to the surface. It's going to knock
90
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.439
on the door. So if we are destabilized in our life,
91
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.319
if we are not in a place where we can
92
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.959
create space, we really it's not a time to start microdosing.
93
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.040
And then to understand that microdosing is a very sub
94
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.839
perceptual level. We're not feeling altered, we can continue throughout
95
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.439
our day. And so if we if we tune in
96
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.439
to our bodies and we are looking at okay, this
97
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.319
is not a good time for me in a microdose.
98
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.879
I'm in the middle of a move. I'm going through divorce.
99
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.759
I like to move people over. Dominique Muscaria omanitu miscario
100
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.160
works with our GABA receptors, so it soothes our central
101
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.879
nervous system. So it creates a very calming, soothing effect
102
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.199
through the body to where it restores the system. And
103
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.680
this is where I think is key because I see
104
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.160
people showing up yes for these ceremonies over and over
105
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:37.879
and over again, the overuse of the medicines. They're journaling,
106
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.279
they're meditating, but something's not gripping it's because that nervous
107
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.360
system is so disregulated. Domini and Mascaria works with a
108
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.319
GABA receptor directly working with the central nervous system. Psilocybin
109
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.519
other psychedelics are working with our five HT serotonin receptors.
110
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.639
So how important is it to have someone that really
111
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.279
knows what they're doing because you talk about all of
112
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.519
these retreats where they are literally overdosing, and you know,
113
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.600
I think that's where I kind of really pull back
114
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.199
on all of this stuff, or where the individuals are
115
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.680
doing it just to have fun and to feel better
116
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.839
and so forth without really medically or scientifically or consciously
117
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.839
wanting to have as you say, that calmness that allows
118
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.199
them to start doing a little bit better transformational work.
119
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.519
So how important is it to have someone working with
120
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:35.120
you that really understands microdosing and guides you through that process.
121
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:35.639
Yeah?
122
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.000
Important, So important because it's the container. And with all
123
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.160
the studies that have been done with microdosing and using
124
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.480
these medicines, I really got the message probably about three
125
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.399
years ago that we need to approach these medicines with
126
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.040
a very feminine approach, a very soft approach, because what
127
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.319
happens is if we go into these big, large journeys
128
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.319
where by passing a lot of our stuff and then
129
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.040
we're coming back. We're not embodied and we're just regulated.
130
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.160
So when we begin microdosing, we have a container where
131
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.959
an integration like therapist like myself is holding space to
132
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:18.160
while I'm feeling super angry, Okay, let's work with the anger.
133
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.399
While I'm tired all the time. Well, the body's probably
134
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.839
asking for a pause. So it's about what's coming up.
135
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.720
We still have to do our own work. It doesn't
136
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.480
do it for us, and I think that's where it
137
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.720
gets a little bit skewed, is where we need to
138
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.919
like we take it and we're fine. We have to
139
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.679
come out of the western modality, take a pill and
140
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.799
we're good. This is about bringing up stuff, so we're
141
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.039
kind of deconditioning the body. And to have someone that
142
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.679
knows what they're doing, the dosage, what's happening, what are
143
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.000
we already taking, What medications are we already taking that
144
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.480
are not going to pairallell with the medicine. And so
145
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:06.519
really with reverence and integrity, coming into this with someone
146
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.720
that can hold space and help you move through what's
147
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:15.120
coming forward. Do I have clients, Yeah, that I feel
148
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.960
so good. I feel great. This is really powerful and
149
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.279
they become becoming the co creator. But there's still work
150
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.440
to do. Are we doing body movement? Are we eating?
151
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:30.600
What's our nutritional level? All these things are important, So
152
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.799
we have to do our work. And it's going to
153
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.639
be a little bit more in your face, so it
154
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:35.600
can be uncomfortable.
155
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:36.200
Yeah.
156
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.240
And for those that say, you know what, I just
157
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.799
do not want to do any microdosing, whether whether that's
158
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.879
for medical reasons because of medications they're taking for their
159
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.919
health or whatever that happens to be, do you have
160
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.600
a process to work with those people and being able
161
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.639
to work with them without microdosing.
162
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.919
Definitely, many people do want to start without the microdosing.
163
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.039
And I like to work with people in the sleep state.
164
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.919
I think sleep's the number one medicine. And I work
165
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.799
with the dream in the dream world and really opening
166
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:13.279
up that part of it first. I feel truly believe
167
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.159
that dreams are our original journey.
168
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.200
Well, and I know that the microdosing helps with the dreams.
169
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.879
I actually, you know, as I was reading your stuff,
170
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.840
I actually started looking up what kind of tea could
171
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.799
I put together? It's not microdosing that would help me
172
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.639
with my dreams. And I found a series of about
173
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.480
four different teas that I could add together, the lease
174
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.320
and so forth to help sleep and to help dreaming.
175
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.080
And yeah, I just started it. So I kind of dreamed.
176
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.080
But my dreams are crazy. It's not like you know,
177
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.679
I try to interpret them and it's like they're just
178
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.399
off the wall.
179
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.600
They don't make sense at all.
180
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.240
So how do you help people to interpret dreams that
181
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.120
just do not make sense?
182
00:10:58.759 --> 00:10:59.080
Yeah?
183
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.879
Isn't that that'd that's our soul speaking to us and
184
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.440
these symbols, right, And if if we were receiving dreams
185
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.799
in like this, we understood it. The words words are
186
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.120
created by the rational mind, right, So the soul is
187
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.039
speaking to us and symbols. I really like to stay
188
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:23.039
away from excavating analyzing the dream and I like to
189
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.519
pick maybe like three big symbols, and then we're running
190
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.600
those symbols through our body and we begin feeling what
191
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.240
does it mean? I am the red ball and I
192
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.960
represent right, So let's say that I have a dream
193
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.799
of a red ball. You have a dream of a
194
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.600
red ball. When I was young, I got hit in
195
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.639
the face and broke my nose of the red ball,
196
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.960
and when you were young, you used to go to
197
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.320
the beach or their family have a good time throw
198
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.200
around this red ball. So do you see how the
199
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.639
symbol might be coming to you like a oh, maybe
200
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.240
I need to have some more fun in my life.
201
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.639
For me, maybe it's an imprint that is ready energetically
202
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.559
to kind of move. And so we want to work
203
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:08.000
with the symbols, not necessarily the stories and really beginning,
204
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:12.840
everything is us in our dreams, so the soul speaks
205
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.279
to us in a way that we can remember and
206
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.080
wake up and then just to touch on teas and medicines.
207
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.759
This is why I use alminique to muscardia, as it
208
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.840
works with that central nervous system soothing and brings our
209
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.639
sleep back and elongates our rem sleep. That's what we need.
210
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.519
We need the elongated rem sleep, so then our dreams
211
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:33.039
come back.
212
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.080
Well that's true. After I woke up this morning, I thought,
213
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.879
all right, what was my dream? And I remember, but
214
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.039
it was kind of skewed playing golf.
215
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:46.679
But just kind of practicing, and that was it. And
216
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.559
so it's like.
217
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:49.960
Yeah, how did it feel?
218
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.720
It was a fast moving and then I woke up.
219
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.720
And so I can't say how it felt other than
220
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:59.399
trying to get everything ready to go.
221
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:00.000
Yeah.
222
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.440
Yeah, And that's the part that we've forgotten and have
223
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.519
kind of disconnected because if you think about it, that
224
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.159
whole sleep, that's thirty years of our lives that we
225
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.159
are missing, where we're bypassing the rational mind. So if
226
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.519
we can linger in just a couple more minutes and
227
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.559
let that run through, we get a lot of information
228
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:24.240
about what we're feeling. Okay, And so you're the golf ball,
229
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.279
you're the golf field, you're the golfer, you're everything. What
230
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.960
does that mean? What is that bringing in and then
231
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.519
moving through there? I've literally spent an hour and a
232
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.440
half with someone on one symbol, moving it through the body. Yeah.
233
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.480
Yeah, So as you talk about the symbol, then do
234
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:44.159
you get into the subconscious imprints and all of those
235
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.600
types of things where it opens up that whole avenue
236
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.519
for you to help them with the transformation.
237
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.120
Yes, And then we incubate it that night to another dream.
238
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.080
So we begin incubating rather than I mean we come
239
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.720
into the imagination. You know, Carl Jung always said the
