Episode 50 – In this expansive episode of The James Xander Trip, I get interviewed by Chelsi Pugliese. We dive into the transformative power of psychedelics and their role in deep spiritual healing, exploring how psilocybin can unlock hidden parts of the soul and illuminate the path to emotional and mental freedom. 

Together, we discuss the profound lessons learned from shrooms, the art of surrender and trust in the psychedelic journey, and the role of these sacred teachers in helping us face and integrate our shadows. This conversation also touches on spirituality, self-discovery, and the deep connection between healing the heart and expanding the mind. Whether you're curious about psychedelics or on your own journey of awakening, this episode offers insights and inspiration to guide you deeper into the truth of who you are.


In this episode, we explore:

  • The inspiration and creation of a conscious mastermind community in Bali.
  • The role of alignment and frequency in building authentic connections.
  • Healing through vulnerability, spirituality, and psychedelics.
  • Facing trauma and the profound power of inner child healing.
  • The transformative potential of psilocybin and other plant medicines.
  • Practical tools for integration and creating lasting change after spiritual experiences.
  • How surrender, curiosity, and intention unlock deeper levels of consciousness.
  • Embracing the duality of life: light and shadow.
