How Do You Know You Are Being Called?
A call to plant medicine is often subtle but undeniable. It may come as an intuitive nudge, a repeated synchronicity, or a deep yearning for healing. Here are some signs that might indicate you are being called:
Hearing the Call: Knowing When It’s Time for Plant Medicine
Listening to Your Heart and Choosing Your Path
The journey with sacred plant medicine is not one to rush into. It is a deeply personal and spiritual decision that unfolds in its own time, often when the soul is seeking healing, clarity, or transformation. If you’ve found yourself drawn to the idea of plant medicine, you may be wondering: Is this the right path for me? Understanding when you are ready and which plant medicine aligns with you requires deep self-reflection, intuition, and a profound respect for these ancient allies.
A Deep Inner Yearning
Perhaps you feel an unshakable curiosity or an inner knowing that plant medicine holds something important for you. This yearning is not about escaping reality but about stepping into a space of profound self-discovery and healing.
Feeling Stuck or Facing Life Challenges
Life has a way of guiding us toward growth, and sometimes that guidance comes through struggle. If you feel emotionally, mentally, or spiritually stagnant—like you’re carrying unresolved pain or searching for deeper meaning—plant medicine might be calling you toward release and renewal.
Repeated Signs and Synchronicities
Do you keep encountering discussions, books, or videos about plant medicine? Have you randomly met people who have shared their experiences? When certain topics or symbols appear in your life repeatedly, it’s often the universe gently nudging you toward exploration.
Readiness to Surrender and Trust
Plant medicine is not just about the experience itself—it’s about letting go. Are you willing to surrender control, face your fears, and trust in something greater than yourself? If you feel a growing openness and readiness to step into the unknown, this is a powerful sign.
A Gentle, Respectful Curiosity
True calling comes with humility. If you feel drawn to learn about the traditions, history, and sacred nature of these plants—not just the effects—you are likely approaching this path with the reverence it deserves.
Trusting the Process: The Right Medicine Will Find You
Rather than chasing after an experience, allow the right plant medicine to resonate with you naturally. Trust your intuition. Take time to research, reflect, and seek guidance from experienced facilitators who honor the sacred traditions of these medicines. Every journey is unique, and there is no “right” way—only the way that feels true for you.
Preparing for the Journey: What to Do Next
If you feel the call, here are a few steps to take before moving forward:
- Self-Reflection: Ask yourself, Why am I drawn to this? Journaling your thoughts and emotions can help you find clarity.
- Learn About Different Medicines: Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, San Pedro, Iboga—each has its own unique energy and purpose.
- Find a Trusted Guide or Retreat: Research ethical, experienced facilitators who provide a safe, supportive environment.
- Set Clear Intentions: Rather than seeking a “quick fix,” enter the journey with a heartfelt intention for healing or growth.
A Loving Reminder
The call to plant medicine is not about escaping life but about embracing it more fully. This is a sacred partnership—one that requires patience, humility, and deep respect. If this path is meant for you, trust that the right medicine will find you when the time is right.
No matter where you are on your journey, you are exactly where you need to be. The plants are here not to give you answers, but to guide you toward the wisdom that has always been within you. When you are ready, they will show you the way—with love, gentleness, and grace.
