I wrote and illustrated a lil book about 2 years ago. It's essentially a meditation that guides you into the present moment, into your body, and into your heart. I put (channeled, really) my authentic Self into it and it is one of the things I feel most proud of in my life.  #hereyouarebook

A bit from the introduction:
"By putting enlightenment somewhere in the future, you’re missing what is right in front of you.… It doesn't have to be so hard. It can be as easy as noticing your breath, the scent of a flower, the passing clouds above your head, the eyes of a friend, or truly feeling an emotional response without trying to figure it out."

I’m currently at the library getting some work done and I remembered a thought I had earlier this week as I sowed my *deadly* poisonous aconite seeds:
How is this plant, called “the most prompt of all poisons” by Pliny the Elder, perfectly legal yet things as medicinally, psychologically, and spiritually beneficial as cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, and ayahuasca illegal?

Unfortunately, I think we all know the answer to that. If aconite were safely ingestible and consciousness awakening it would be promptly outlawed. Plant can kill - no problem. Plant can cause you to question reality - it’s a danger to society and must be stopped at all costs.
This is not to say that aconite is not a magical plant with the power to shift our consciousness. We can do a lot of deep inner work on the plant spirit level but we have to know how to support that work in ourselves. Learning how to journey inwards without the use of consciousness shifting plants is a skill I hope that everyone has the privilege to learn in their lifetime.
