How Psychedelics and Mindfulness Heal Trauma Naturally | ANEW Ep 98

Описание: Welcome to Part 2 of our transformative conversation with plant-based facilitator Guy Borgford on the ANEW Insight Podcast hosted by Dr. Supatra Tovar licensed psychologist, registered dietitian, and certified fitness expert.

In this deeply moving episode, Guy shares the emotional and spiritual breakthroughs that helped him move from a disconnected, fast-paced life into one grounded in mindfulness, purpose, and healing.

After decades of suppressing trauma through substances and distraction, Guy experienced a profound awakening through meditation and intentional use of psychedelics, particularly ayahuasca and psilocybin mushrooms. His story reveals how these sacred medicines helped him release long-buried grief, reconnect with his body, and let go of habits that no longer served him—including cocaine, alcohol, cannabis, and cigarettes.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode is Guy’s retelling of a psychedelic journey where he finally processed the loss of his father—an experience he had numbed since childhood. Following that emotional release, his chronic asthma disappeared, underscoring the mind-body connection and the ability of plant medicine to unlock physical healing by processing suppressed emotions.

Dr. Tovar and Guy also explore:
1. The neuroscience of psychedelics and how they promote neurogenesis and new neural pathways
2. Why trauma is often stored in the body, and how intentional ceremonies can help it release
3. The critical importance of integration after a psychedelic experience
4. The spiritual and biological mechanisms behind ayahuasca, psilocybin, DMT, and ceremonial cannabis
5. How our nervous systems have been hijacked by consumer culture and overstimulation
6. Why true healing starts with presence, safety, and surrender

For listeners skeptical or curious about plant-based medicine, this episode breaks down the difference between recreational use and sacred healing, and explains how plant medicines, when held in safe containers, become tools for profound emotional liberation. Even more importantly, Guy emphasizes that you don’t need psychedelics to begin your healing journey—meditation, mindfulness, nature, creative expression, and breathwork can all access higher consciousness and help you reconnect with your true self.

Dr. Tovar also reflects on her mission to help individuals recover from diet culture, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim their intuition. She and Guy align in their message: lasting health and emotional well-being come from tuning into the body—not overriding it.

If you’re seeking relief from emotional weight, burnout, disconnection, or chronic health conditions, this episode offers both practical guidance and spiritual depth. Whether you're considering psychedelics or just beginning a mindfulness practice, Guy’s story offers hope, validation, and clarity on the path to inner transformation.
