Bufo & The Release of The Nervous System

TBH familia,
I’ve been waiting a while to write about this. My Gate 46 (The Love of the Body)
needed time to actually feel what changed in my nervous system.
Now that I’ve integrated, my Channel 12-22 (Channel of Openness)
is finally ready to speak

———————————————————
Unprocessed fear living in the tissues
———————————————————
Most of us have felt at least once in our life
that sudden stiffness,
jaw tightness, shortness of breath, or
full body shock when fear hits
That’s actually the amygdala firing off
Sending a signal that something feels unsafe….
The logical brain shuts down, and
all the sudden our bodies just wants to run…
That is stuck energy familia
That stays in the tissues until it’s finally allowed to move
———————————————————
Sanskaras: Ancestral Memory & DNA
———————————————————
That stagnant energy is what the Hindus call Sanskaras
The deep, inherited biogenetic imprints carried in our DNA
Some of this memory come from our own childhood shocks and betrayals
others are woven into our bloodlines
from ancestors we never met
And if you have some South American roots
Your parents probably have a picture of your grandpa or grandpa sitting around their home
Anyway, no matter how much inner work or therapy we do, these layers are often impossible to reach with the mind alone.
For years I tried to understand why my body reacted so intensely to certain triggers
not having enough,
intimacy,
speaking,
Showing my writing,
opening my heart,
spending money…
Traditional somatic work and therapy helped me to a point, but nothing ever touched the nervous system as deeply as Bufo.
Period
———————
What Is Bufo?
———————
Bufo is the venom from the Sonoran Desert toad
It’s a natural source of 5-MeO-DMT
the same powerful compound our bodies produce in tiny amounts at birth and during near-death experiences
We take this earth medicine by smoking or vaporizing it. And within seconds,
before the mind can even react
it launches you into a higher state of consciousness.
It feels like a rocket taking off,
where you finally understand
what it means to completely
let go of your body.
Beyond the mystical side
which wasn’t why I tried it,
what fascinates me most is how it releases deeply ingrained trauma and
unwinds the nervous system like nothing else I’ve experienced.
———————————————
My long Year research
——————————————
I spent a full year researching before my first session (About a year ago)
I read stories of veterans,
sexual abuse survivors,
people experiencing deep truama and depression
people whose trauma traditional therapy could never fully touch.
My Line 3 got super curious
and over the past year I’ve watched massive shifts in myself and
in close friends who also tried it.
(I live in near a community called Pisac where a bunch of black sheeps from all over the planet live
I wonder if there a bunch line 3/6 people living here
Anyway
——————————————
What Was My Experience Like?
——————————————
In Higher doses, I feel a complete separation between body and soul
The medicine shoots me straight into the void,
I have zero memory after I come back
In Smaller doses (the ones I love)
I expefience - deep somatic release.
My body starts shaking violently,
like high voltage energy running through every cell.
Crying comes from the depths
the fascia expands
old stored memories release in flashes
At the end of the 10 min session
my body feels 50 pounds lighter,
like ice melting in my tissues.
The beautiful thing is that this expansion and peace stay with me long after the journey ends
You actually only need one session to feel the dramatic changes in your body…

One Thing I’ve Noticed Across Journeys
—————————————
It doesn’t matter what you’re letting go of
our minds love to obsess over knowing the why
But remember, familia
we carry so much in our cells that isn’t even ours
Some belongs to the collective our our ancestors
That said, I’m not saying avoid responsibility
for what you’ve done in this life
Own your shit, no excuses
But for the ancient baggage
that’s not yours?
Letting it go feels like pure liberation.
————————
How I Feel Now
————————
My nervous system feels at peace
Like a long held tension has unwound
Contemplation is still my daily practice,
but for the deepest layers
we can’t fully comprehend with the mind,
Bufo is one of my favorite earth medicines so far
And along with my friend Geronimo ~ who’s been serving this medicine for over a decade now we are working in including this medicine in our upcoming retreats
————————
Curious if any of you have tried a therapy or earth medicine that blew your mind and truly rewired your nervous system?
Please share your journey.
I have GK 47 (At higher frequencies is all about alchemy) And I have 46.1 and 46.6 in Saturn and Mercury and I’m fascinated by ancient techniques that help liberate ancestral memory so our bodies can finally feel free…
