“Centering” is a verb” ~ M.C. Richards To reside at your center does not constitute a static state of being. Rather, centering represents your capacity to align with nature as it exists within and around you. Within the yogic tradition, the Sanskrit word, Spanda,refers to the pulsation of life that lives within us. Tuning into this rhythm allows you to notice how your emotions and mental states expand and contract. There may be days when you feel filled to the brim with excitement or creative inspiration. You might feel energetically and physically lighter. In contrast, all of us have days when we feel physically heavy, emotionally drained, or mentally fatigued. There is no bad or wrong state of being; rather, the goal is to adapt our breath and movement in a supportive manner that allows us to access the wisdom that resides within both the expansion and contraction. Centering can be thought of as an ongoing process that allows you to access an inner source of peace, wisdom, strength. Centering allows you to know, that traumatic events inevitably will shape you, however, they are not all of who you are. Centering doesn’t mean that you ignore your distress but that you cultivate this resource so you can turn toward your distress without feeling swallowed by your pain. Centering is closely related to what Richard Schwartz, developer of Internal Family Systems (IFS), refers to as connecting to the Self.

Psychedelics and EMDR Holistic Therapy... lets talk about it 🙂🦄 Psychedelic-assisted EMDR Therapy represents a fusion of two powerful therapeutic modalities. Each one with its own unique strengths and landscape. I have found a flow and tremendous synergy between these two approaches. Among others I integrate, lies an ability to unlock deep-seated traumas and facilitate profound healing. In a carefully guided and supervised environment, the altered states of consciousness induced by psychedelics can complement the precision and structure of EMDR therapy. Why am I so passionate about this as a holistic emdr therapist? Over the past decade, Psychedelics and EMDR changed my life. I have had a influx of clients and prospects very interested in psychedelic assisted healing. My first suggestion is find a TRAUMA INFORMED Coach, Spirit Medicine Guide or Psychedelic Trained Certified Psychotherapist! As you work with psychedelics, memories come up, and sometimes people can get stuck in trauma loops. This keeps the nervous system reactive and create cycles of dissociation, anxiety, depression and possibly ptsd symptoms activated. Its important to be able to metabolize the experience of the expansion of the psychedelic journey. Psychedelic therapy is far more than just consuming a substance. It is a creative exploration of your inner landscape, facilitated by a trained professional. Psychedelic medicines like ketamine and psilocybin act as catalysts, opening your brain to new perspectives and releasing stuck emotions and energy from the body. The quality of your experience is highly influenced by set and setting. Embodied Sol Therapy will be providing a support group for plant medicine and psychedelic integration groups, retreats starting in the New Year. Keep a lookout! We provide services that include Psychedelic Integration Therapy and Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy with Ketamine in Texas, and in Jan 2025 NM. As always thank you for your questions! Do your research, stay safe and EMBODIED! HUGS, Alicia Ramos 🪐🦋🪶 #embodiedsoltherapist #emdrtherapist #psychedelicassistedtherapy #Ketamine #Psilocybin #Ayahuasca #LSD #MDMA
