1) Self-worth is the internal felt sense of being enough and worthy of love.

2) feelings of worthlessness and not being enough can be buried deep inside without our awareness of it.

3)we typically develop strong protection mechanisms to hide these feelings that often block us from receiving what we truly desire.

4) External factors such as our job, achievements, successes, and relationships don't determine our worth.

5) When our self-worth is wrapped up in external in external factors, it can be very challenging when these things are not present in our experience.

6) Meeting those feelings of worthlessness and not being enough with compassion and acceptance can be deeply healing and transformative.

7) Only you can determine your worth.

In a desperate attempt to find my worth in external sources. I buried myself into a career. Initially, this worked great. I was able to distract myself from my other problems and become "successful" based on our society's definition of it.

But just like my other addictions, this was only covering up buried feelings worthlessness, and eventually, the price of this escape caught up with me. It took a long time for me to figure out that I would never find the worth that I was searching for in this external source.

Leaving my job was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. At that moment, I chose me and my happiness over the approval of society and the urge to escape my feelings. By leaving, I created the space necessary for me to face those buried feelings and transform and heal from the inside out

Facilitated by Skip Sumbera

"Hi, I'm Skip, and I'm a meditation and mindfulness teacher. My life's passion is to share with others the knowledge and tools that contributed to my own personal transformation and support others on their journey of understanding themselves at deeper levels. Along with years of personal practice and life experience, I have completed a 200-hour meditation and mindfulness teacher training, and I'm a certified psychedelic integration coach.

I feel that to tell you who I truly am, I must also tell you where I've been. I spent what seemed like a lifetime trapped in a prison of my own mind. My internal world was full of insecurities, self-doubt, fear, disconnection, pain, and suffering. The desperation to escape this prison led me down many paths. Some were self-destructive, such as substance and severe work addictions, while others, such as meditation and plant medicines, illuminated the path that I now walk

While I've experienced a lot of healing through various tools and modalities, everything changed for me the moment I understood that the path to liberate my suffering was an internal journey of Self-discovery.

This is what I am here to share

This is a special gift only attainable when we face the parts of ourselves that we're previously hidden from our conscious minds

Tips to use being triggered as an opportunity for healing.Only do what you are comfortable with, and don't push yourself too hard

1) The first step is becoming aware of being triggered. Once you become aware, you can consciously choose your response.

2) Familiarize yourself with your entire experience in that moment and start to bring your attention inwards to notice any sensations in your body

3) Recognize that you are not your thoughts, and you can never trust the thoughts of a triggered mind. Stop paying attention to whatever story your mind may be telling

4) With your awareness fully present with the experience in your your body, slowly and gently begin to open up and surrender to the experience in the moment without labels such as good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant and accept it fully without wishing it to go away

5) Whenever your attention gets pulled away by the story being told by your mind, gently bring your attention back to the experience of your body.

In time, the energy present in your experience will disapate processing out the old stuck energy that triggered

Meditation - While meditating, our attention is focused on our experience in the present moment. Watching our thoughts and experiencing the sensations of the body. As we continue to open further into the present moment, naturally unconscious material will arise to be processed. This is a beautiful process, and from my experience, the most effective at creating lasting changes

Psychedelics - Psychedelics are awareness boosters. After taking taking a psychedelic medicine, temporarily, your conscious awareness is expanded, allowing access to hidden unconscious material. These expanded states can bring up a lot in a short amount of time, allowing for big jumps in your healing journey. The challenge here is that over time, your conscious awareness returns to normal, and without work and effort on your part, the unconscious material that was revealed will sink back into the unconscious

Yoga Asana - to be fully aware of your experience, also includes the experience of your body. If you're like me, I spent most of my life living inside my head, cut off from the experience of my body. Yoga Asana brings your awareness back into the body. As you start to bring your awareness back into the body, stored emotions and trauma will naturally start to emerge for processing.

Defining and refining the process of psychedelic integration has been my quest for the last few years. Having spent a lot of time doing psychedelics, receiving temporary relief from my suffering, only to have it return a short time later, I was determined to find the answer and create long lasting changes in my life.

Join me for a free online educational workshop on maximizing the benefits of your psychedelic experience. There is plenty of information out there now speaking to the potential benefits of working with psychedelic medicines. But do we transform by simply taking a substance? While psychedelics can be a powerful tool, based on the latest research, information, and my experience, there is more to it

Most psychedelics are an active process, which means that in order to achieve the desired result or transformation, there is work and effort required to change or let go of limiting beliefs, unconscious programs, habits and behaviors that are creating our suffering.
