The number of wellness practices or spiritual practices that we do is essentially infinite, right? You could, in a morning, gather more practices that you could spend the rest of your life doing them. So there is this sense, and i see it in people who come to me for coaching all the time, which is, i'm not doing enough. We can actually inherit this. If you look at mark wollan's work, it didn't start with you. And when that monster occurs, this is what i learned when i had a psychic break. I had a psychicbreak from plant medicine a few years ago. It crushed me. They just kept coming and coming and coming in.
