The Mush Room, Episode 7: Shannon Pereira: From Ashram Lockdown to Microdose Coaching

And yogis, 100%, in the Rig Veda, there is, it's like a 1500 BCE old document, you know, and there's probably only been like 15% of it translated, but in the Rig Vedas is written about this elixir of the gods.

And that is most likely, it's Soma, what they called it, but it's most likely your microphone, Amanita Muscaria, mixed with potentially yogurt, which is an interesting take because a lot of... a lot of people still they make their own yogurt there and it it bodes to like why is the cow so sacred in india you know psilocybin would grow out of cow dung and amanita would with milk would supposedly elicit the talking to the gods kind of things and i'm sure there's other plants and other things in there but um and before the asanas of today where there's like bend all the ways there was only one posture yoga only had one posture and that was padmasana that's just sitting in cross-legged pose and the only reason people did other asanas other postures was to be able to sit for a long time in this pose without having to move and shift because every time you move you would break that concentration that would allow you to be really deeply connected like if you move you kind of pull yourself out of theta brain waves so only about 250 years old are the actual other movements but really there was just so 100 they would be reaching these states these enlightened states by just not moving And then when they did utilize, I love doing yoga with like with a good microdose, because you just you listen to your body better.

You know, we can choose it to be suffering, but pain is really just telling you where something needs your attention.
