Why Would Anyone Choose This Path?

Exploring the Inner Call Toward Sacred Healing

Have you ever felt like, despite your outward success, there’s a quiet ache in your soul — a persistent question you can’t ignore?

“Why do I still feel so disconnected, even after I’ve done everything right?”

That question found me too. It showed up after years of high-functioning survival: building a life, loving deeply, and still feeling like something essential was missing. My journey into sacred healing didn’t begin in a jungle or a pristine ceremony — it began with heartbreak, survival, and a young woman searching for love in the only places she knew how.

When Escape Masquerades as Healing

In my late teens and early twenties, I brushed up against sacred tools in their rawest, most unrefined form — MDMA, LSD, psilocybin — woven into the pulse of the 90s rave scene. Amid flashing lights and communal hugs, I found something I didn’t know I was desperately missing: a fleeting feeling of love and belonging.

As a girl who carried deep wounds — from abandonment, abuse, and years of silence — those weekends offered me a temporary escape hatch. A place where I wasn’t broken, wasn’t alone, wasn’t invisible. But I also saw the dark side. The synthetic scene that promised euphoria often delivered destruction. It was not a path to wholeness — just a pause from the pain.

By 21, I walked away from it all. But the memory of what was possible — that taste of awe, love, and transcendence — never fully left me.

When the Pain Can’t Be Numbed Anymore

Fast forward twenty years. I was a mother, a wife, a woman others might have seen as "doing well." But I knew better. Something inside me was fraying. Depression loomed like a shadow, even as I poured myself into therapy, trying to talk my way out of the abyss.

At 41, I hit a wall that couldn’t be ignored. I confessed to my husband, with trembling vulnerability, that I wasn’t okay. I needed more than coping skills — I needed to heal.

And that’s when ancestral medicine began to whisper again. Not through music festivals or late-night escapism, but through sacred stories and synchronicities. Articles, books, research studies — all pointing toward something ancient, profound, and strangely familiar. Ayahuasca. Ceremony. Inner work. Source.

Could It Really Work?

I was skeptical. Curious, but cautious. Still, I devoured everything I could — from scientific texts like LSD Psychotherapy and How to Change Your Mind to personal accounts of transformation. Could sacred plants, used with intention and reverence, do what therapy alone could not?

Quietly, and legally in my state, I began working with psilocybin. My first journey wasn’t wild or hallucinogenic. It was humbling. It cracked me open — revealing the miracle I was too numb to see: my life, my marriage, my resilience. It returned me to gratitude, one breath at a time.

The Day I Met Myself Again

For my 42nd birthday — 11/11, a day that has always held deep meaning for me — I traveled to Jamaica. I went not to escape, but to remember. On that beach, guided only by intention, I embarked on a self-led journey using sacred tools.

I came with a question that had haunted me for decades:

Why did all of this happen to me? Why the abuse, the loneliness, the pain?

And then, in that liminal space where sea meets sky, I heard a voice — not outside, but deep within:

“Because you were the only one strong enough to do it.”

Tears that had been caged for a lifetime broke free. I didn’t resist. I didn’t need to protect myself anymore. For once, I was safe to feel it all.

That voice — the one that wasn’t quite mine but knew me better than I knew myself — kept speaking:

“You had to become who you needed to be… for you.”

The Truth I Didn’t Want to Face

The journey didn’t just bring peace. It brought accountability. It showed me where I was still acting from pain — especially in my marriage. I had been projecting old wounds onto the man who had stood beside me with unwavering love. Sacred insight allowed me to see my triggers not as flaws, but as signals. Echoes of a scared little girl who had only ever known how to protect herself.

I saw, too, that my mother — the source of so much pain — had also been a product of pain. Her strictness was her shield. Her anger, a language she inherited. I saw not just her actions, but the lineage of suffering passed down like inheritance. And I saw my role — not as victim, but as cycle-breaker.

This Is Why I Chose the Path of Sacred Healing

I didn’t walk this path because it was trendy or popular. I walked it because conventional methods brought me close to healing, but never through it. Sacred tools — approached with reverence, intention, and deep respect — became the key to unlock what had long been buried.

I returned from Jamaica with something I hadn’t felt in years: a profound sense of self-connection. Not just surviving. Not just coping. Living. Awake.

Still Wondering If This Is Right for You?

This path isn’t for everyone. It requires courage. It asks you to sit with what’s uncomfortable. But if something inside you has been whispering that you're meant for more — more peace, more truth, more awe — then maybe, just maybe, you’re hearing the call too.
