Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration PodcastIn the "Meditative State Of Being" episode of the "Getting Out of the Way" podcast, host Daniel Reznik and guest Dov W. delve into the transformative power of meditation and spirituality, stressing the importance of integrating psychedelic experiences into broader communal conversations. They explore the shift in understanding G-d as an intrinsic presence rather than an external entity through personal experiences and teachings from Rabbi YY Jacobson and Rabbi Pinson. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between intellectual knowledge and experiential understanding, advocating for a meditative practice that prioritizes being present and embracing vulnerability over mere intellectual pursuits. Topics such as letting go of attachments, the detrimental effects of over-identifying with the intellect, and the healing potential of breath are examined, culminating in a holistic vision of meditation as a state of being that fosters connection with one's true self and a deeper awareness of the present moment. The conversation highlights the necessity of navigating internal narratives of separation to achieve inner peace and understanding, ultimately framing meditation as an ongoing journey towards realizing our intrinsic essence."We learn to unlearn to relearn.""Every moment is a gift; don't escape it.""Explore the mansion of your being."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Conversation01:58 The Purpose of Recording Conversations03:44 Exploring Meditation and Inner Awareness05:54 Understanding Hasidism and Its Purpose08:20 The Role of Knowledge and Experience11:05 Experiential Knowledge vs. Intellectual Knowledge13:36 The Nature of Meditation15:37 Desires and the Illusion of Separation24:39 The Power of Letting Go27:08 Understanding Fear and the Unknown32:10 Living in the Present Moment34:36The Illusion of Control38:52 Meditation as Surrender43:08 The Mind as a Tool48:04 The Power of Letting Go48:27 Breath as a Tool for Awareness49:44 Decoupling from the Intellect51:09 The Physiology of Breathing54:33 Creating Space for Self-Correction56:13 The Illusion of Disconnection57:05 Observing the Mind from a Distance01:00:16 Integration of Soul and Body01:02:38 Exploring the Mansion of Awareness01:04:37 The Practice of PresenceThank you for Supporting This Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh..._______________________For booking inquiries email: Tag@DanielReznik.com______________________Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On:Apple Podcasthttps://apple.co/3ZtjTSaSpotifyhttp://bit.ly/3wxhwkR______________________Follow us on Social Media:Instagramhttp://bit.ly/3ZQr8VtFacebookhttp://bit.ly/3y7isNA______________________Produced By Jenny Reznik

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast In this episode of Getting Out Of The Way we discuss the practical considerations that arise when engaging in "intergalactic tourism" and the importance of grounding, closing ceremonies, and recognizing one's own sickness before attempting to heal. Every time a person comes back from such “travels”, the word "human" takes on a very different meaning, requiring integration when back in default mode. This integration is necessary in order to address responsibilities and practical matters, as well as to prevent us from getting overwhelmed and disoriented, but it can be challenging as the experience exposes us to a vast and complex realm beyond our previous understanding. Our guest speaker also acknowledges the challenges of confronting existential questions that arise when facing the oneness of all things, and concludes by suggesting that culturally grounded practices and tools may be essential for a successful integration process. _______________________ Thank you for Supporting This Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: Tag@DanielReznik.com Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA ______________________ Produced By Jenny Reznik ______________________ Chapters: Start - 00:00 6:00 - Grounding post ceremony 7:35 - Duh the tree is alive 13:00 - Entanglement of energies 14:00- Beyond the 5 senses 17:00 - Western Illness

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast In this episode of Getting Out Of The Way, guest speaker Sergey Gordeev joins Daniel Reznik to discuss their perspectives on plant medicine, surrender, intention, and the limitations of language. Daniel shares that he participates in plant medicine ceremonies based on intuitive calls, while also incorporates other complimentary practices like meditation, exercise, and fasting. He emphasizes the importance of integrating plant medicine insights into daily life and surrendering the need to constantly seek knowledge without a practical method of action. Sergey reflects on the concept of surrender and the liberating experience of disassociating from societal structures. Words can be seen as little lies that represent a certain version of reality, and when we present ourselves using words, we are already inauthentically representing something else, something greater than our limited understanding of Self. _______________________ Thank you for Supporting This Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: Tag@DanielReznik.com Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA ______________________ Produced By Jenny Reznik ______________________ Chapters 00:00 - Start 5:45 - Alan Watts 8:45 - How to Play the Game 12:00 - Ram Dass Becoming Nobody

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast Psychedelics can be a powerful tool, but they are not magic. This video discusses various topics related to personal growth and spirituality based on psychedelic experiences and life lessons. Daniel and his guest talk about recognizing oneself as a vessel of light and the importance of sharing that light with others by holding space with them. They also discuss their personal experiences with Ayahuasca and Psilocybin and the power of gaining wisdom and perspective from difficult life experiences. They also emphasize the importance of addressing our challenges as opportunities for growth in order to shape ourselves into who we aim to be and not who we used to be. And in doing so, building walls around our hearts is seen as an unnecessary form of self-defense. Instead, embracing our unique stories and following our hearts authentically can better help us along our journey. Also in this episode of Getting Out Of The Way, Daniel and his guest talk about how important it is to be able to learn how to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. His guest also mentions the idea of writing a book about her life, but also realizes that she may not need to write a book, instead she may just need to share her story and open up to others. They emphasize the importance of integration and how it was a profound tool to help them change their lives. The guest speaker also touches on the idea of healing and how we should not view it as a finite moment, but rather a process that we go through. They both remind us to be present and accept where we are at in life — in the moment — rather than seeking some other moment or condition which doesn’t exist. _______________________ Thank you For Supporting The Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: Tag@DanielReznik.com Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA ______________________ Produced By Jenny Reznik ______________________ Chapters: 0:00 - Start 1:10 - Stuck-ness In Life 5:00 - Letting The Light Out 9:30 - Judging With Kindness 15:20 - Holding Space https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/U3rnD2zAUzb 17:45 - Note For Trip Sitters / Guides 22:20 - G-d Enjoying Life 26:00 - Viewing Traumas Post Psychedelics 32:00 - Psychedelics.

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast Daniel speaks with a guest in this podcast episode who shares their experiences with Ayahuasca and how it transformed their perspective on spirituality and reality. Daniel’s guest discusses their initial resistance to the intense effects of the medicine and describes how he eventually surrendered and gained new insights. The speaker recounts encountering the spirits of deceased family members and reflecting on the nature of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Together they explore concepts like time and place being a fabrication — citing Kabbalist philosophy — and the battle between one’s soul and ego. Daniel emphasizes the importance of allowing our higher Self to work requires getting our limited self (the ego) out of the way. In a later section of the integration Daniel’s guest speaker talks about how taking Ayahuasca was like eating from the Tree of Life, which opened his eye and allowed him to see things that he wasn’t able to see before. He also reflects on how his study of spirituality had been confirmed during the experience, stating that he had to cut through the "crap" to understand the truth of the teachings. Our guest also further describes his vivid experience with Ayahuasca as an intense and transformative process of removing things that were harbored inside him through contractions and purging. _______________________ Support The Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: Tag@DanielReznik.com Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA ______________________ Produced by Jenny Reznik ______________________ Chapters: 0:00 - Start 2:35 - Letting go of Exceptions 5:20 - Control Freak 6:30 - Growing up in Religious Household 9:45 - Seeing People Who Passed 10:00 - Diseases brought on by our actions 12:30 - Hours and Hours of Therapy 14:40 - Tree of Life 16:40 - Kabbalistic 23:00 - "Fear, Shame & Greed" Night Two of Ayahuasca 26:30 - First Meditation 30:00 - Ego Death "Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy"

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast In the video "Trigger Warning," Daniel discusses how people tend to displace their inner repression of self to the external world as a mechanism to see themselves with greater clarity. What happens when we trigger an empty pistol? Nothing, because it is empty. What happens when we trigger a loaded pistol? It fires and does damage. The issue is not the trigger, the issue is the loaded gun. If we remove the ammunition then triggering the pistol is of no consequence. This is a parallel to our day-to-day life. He presents an idea where instead of looking inward to deal with our emotions we tend to accumulate them. In-turn, these repressed emotions and traumas are under pressure (turned into ammunition). Then, when we are inevitably triggered by almost anything in the external world, we fire and cause damage within ourselves and externally. He argues that being triggered may be a healthy occurrence because it helps to show us where the true problem lies — within ourselves — allowing us to unload our ‘stuff’ in a healthier and preemptive way. He also shares that being preoccupied with external factors hinders us from being our authentic selves because we are forced to manage our thoughts, words, and actions for fear of offending someone when we really have little control over how the external world behaves in most circumstances. Daniel feels that using words with proper intention and being accountable for one's own words can create clarity and avoid spreading negative vibes. He stresses the importance of using our words with proper intention, passing them through the three gates of speech: is it true, is it necessary, is it kind? By doing so, individuals can limit creating more confusion in the world and foster clarity and positivity in life for ourselves and others. _______________________ Support The Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: Tag@DanielReznik.com Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ ______________________ Produced by Jenny Reznik ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA Chapters: 0:00 - Start 6:30 - 3 Gates Of Speech

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast This episode explores the typical 5-hour timeline of a psilocybin experience. Daniel discusses the different stages of a therapeutic psilocybin session, including the initial preparation, the onset of psychoactivity, the peak experience, possible after-effects or discomfort, and the post-session integration phase. By preparing beforehand and demystifying the experience through education on the subject, and reinforcing intention and breathing practices, individuals can feel more comfortable and centered in order to allow for the experience to properly occur without any unnecessary friction or discomfort. The experience itself can often be fast-moving and abstract at first, often with deep personal insights, but eventually dissipates. It is important to try and not make sense of the experience during the process itself and to just let it all unfold. After the experience, it is important to allow it to settle down for approximately 24 hours before trying to analyze, discuss, or integrate it. It is critical to have a proper setting, a meaningful intention and to breathe deeply throughout the journey while remembering that everything — the challenging moments and the beautiful ones — will pass. _______________________ For booking inquiries email: Tag@DanielReznik.com Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA
