And even though the research into psychedelic medicine is a bit difficult because it's still primarily outlawed in the United States, the research and treatment that is being done has been showing incredible results.

And this episode is a story from someone who experienced it himself very recently, actually.

It's a story that starts on Coronado Island at the very, very southern coast of California and eventually ends on that same coast, just about 15 miles south across the border in Rosarito, Mexico.

So I will let Jake take it from here and tell the story himself.

This episode is called Down the Silver Strand, Part One, and you're listening to Otherworld.

Okay, we have to take a quick break, but we'll be right back with the rest of Jake's story.

Maybe it just calls for a less burden one.

Whether that's fear, pressure,

perfectionism, or self-doubt, letting go of that pressure is an ongoing process, and having an unbiased perspective can really help you clarify why certain patterns keep showing up in your life.
