If you’re navigating the complexities of Ayahuasca healing and you find yourself moving too fast on your path — pushing, improving, “doing the work,” yet still feeling that quiet internal pressure — this episode goes right to the heart of why.
Because that pressure isn’t random.
It’s the signature of a part of you that’s been left behind.

In this episode, we explore the core mistake almost everyone makes in deep healing: outrunning the very part of themselves that holds the truth, the timing, and the healing they seek. Through the story of a master diamond thief who searched everywhere for a diamond that was never lost — only hidden where he’d never think to look — we examine how most of us do the same in our spiritual and ayahuasca journeys.

What if the diamond you’re searching for was never missing… just placed in the one part of you you’ve been avoiding?
The slowest-moving part.
The tender part.

We go into the three phases of the Ayahuasca journey — Healing, Integration, and Transformation — and why they move in spirals, not straight lines. In this episode, we focus on the healing phase, the cocoon where you stop outrunning yourself and meet the parts of you that carry your real identity, your timing, your inner child, and the emotional truth that never disappears.

You’ll learn:

• Why most people run their healing at the same speed as their trauma, and why nothing lands when you’re ahead of your body
• The difference between fast energy (sympathetic activation) and slow energy (parasympathetic connection)
• How overwhelm drops you into dorsal freeze, and why this matters for your integration
• Why your slowest-moving parts are not the wound — they’re the doorway to your wholeness
• How Ayahuasca slows you down on purpose, so you can meet what you’ve been refusing to feel
• Why the “diamond” of your journey is hidden inside the part of you that refuses to move until you’re ready

We explore the four pillars of the healing phase — Surrender, Listen, Open, Warrior — and how SLOW becomes not just an acronym, but a nervous-system truth. Fast is fear. Fast is survival. Slow is where your soul lives. Slow is where the real medicine works.

This is an episode for anyone who has felt:

• “I’m behind in my own life.”
• “I’m ahead of myself, out of sync with my body.”
• “I’m doing everything right… so why am I still not landing?”
• “I’m exhausted from chasing clarity, purpose, or healing.”

If you’ve been searching for your wholeness, your purpose, your voice, your gifts — there is a real chance you left them behind with the part of you that moves the slowest.
And just like the diamond buyer who hid the gem in the thief’s own pocket, close to his own heart…
you may have been searching everywhere except the one place that holds everything you’re trying to find.

This episode invites you into the pace where real ayahuasca integration finally occurs.
The pace where healing becomes embodied.
The pace where transformation emerges naturally.
The pace where the diamond reveals itself.

Slow down — the treasure is closer than you think.
