It's been a month since i began my 90-day ceremony of Iboga and I am amazed at the healing that's been done to my brain.  My mind is calm, even in stressful situations.  I'm quicker to admit I'm wrong, I'm slower to anger, and my emotions are hanging out in the average lane rather than massive peaks and valleys. 

Urges to drink and do drugs are still gone.

Trauma that used to define me, plague my mind and control my trigger responses..no longer live in my mind. 

Most importantly, my relationship with myself has grown tenfold.  I love myself.  I'm confident with my skills.  I accept all of me and push myself to grow because of love.  

I've made mistakes, and the best part is that they remain mistakes.  Not things added to why I'm not worth.  I am so worth of love, acceptance and all the blessings my Lord Savior wants to give.

I'm so happy.  Even when I'm sad, mad, stressed, tired, etc... there's a peace underneath it all. 

Thank you, Jenn Lotusson-Phillips, and ONAC of The Lotus Sanctuary for changing my life.

I wanted to thank the people who helped support me and get me through the struggles I've been facing.  Watching myself lose my spark was the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life.  When nobody else believed in me a few people didn't give up on me.  Finding myself again and getting another chance is absolutely a blessing.  I am truly indebted to Dr. Jenn Lotusson-Phillips at ONAC University of Indigenous Medicine & The Lotus Sanctuary.  She changes lives and changed mine tremendously! To all the staff at ONAC for the care and treatment these past 6 weeks it was truly magical and genuine.  Thank you to all the wonderful staff, God bless all of you.  All of you are amazing people with big hearts.  

If you are a veteran or anyone who struggles with addiction, PTSD, depression, anxiety or any mental discomfort and have tried traditional rehabs, therapy, AA, and outpatient organizations with endless medications and prescriptions with no success, I can highly recommend Iboga treatment for a better life!  Sometimes life doesn't work out, doors close, people walk away, but don't give up! The suffering will pass.  Try this! It works! God bless all of you and thank God for another opportunity.

There are truly no words to describe the miracles that have taken place for me since I chose to sit with the sacred medicine Iboga.

I was that person whose life turned out to be the opposite of what I had wanted and planned. I was plagued with PTSD, addiction, and depression. I accepted this way of life as my lot and pushed through while silently suffering.

Iboga gave me complete and full healing. I couldn’t even comprehend what a healed version of myself would look like, and it seemed absolutely impossible. Now that I am living it, I am deeply grateful for this Sacred Medicine that gave me the opportunity to truly surrender what was holding me back, and grateful to God for showing me He is truly the God of impossible miracles.

The word I would use to describe my experience is FREEDOM. 

Freedom from mental illnesses, Freedom from the entanglement of bad relationships, Freedom from physical issues, Freedom from addictions, Freedom from self-deprecation, Freedom from suicidal thoughts, Freedom from negative thinking, Freedom from insomnia, Freedom from a busy mind, Freedom from holding my breath, Freedom from PTSD, Freedom from expectations, and Freedom to just be myself.

This only covers the surface of miracles.

I’m 2 years in and still basking in the healed. I have not reverted back to the old chains that held me captive.

Where each day was full of darkness and gloom, I now live in the light and experience all the beautiful colors.
Where I was filled with depression, I am full of gratitude and joy every moment of everyday. Where I could not breathe in the midst of anxiety, I now take full breaths, and my lungs are full to the brim. 

The facilitators and healers at this clinic will forever be considered family to me. They are truly God sent and held sacred space for me to heal. I walked out the door as a new person ready for a second chance at life.

When we choose to surrender all that binds us, we soar.

When we choose the aid of sacred medicine it helps lift the things that are crushing us or holding us back so we can truly be free.
 

I will be forever grateful and give reverence to the Sacred Medicine Iboga.

If you want true freedom and healing- this is a path.

Tonight I sit quietly, trying to find words for the gratitude that fills every part of me. I think back on my journey with iboga, and my heart aches in the most beautiful way. There are moments in life that change you so completely you know you can never go back. This was one of them. A sacred gift from God, from the universe, from the earth itself, a gift that met me in my deepest need and brought me home.

Iboga did not heal me gently. It met me with truth. It stripped me bare. It reached into the places I had long abandoned, the places I was too afraid to face, and it laid them before me with such honesty I could not look away. It showed me the heartbreak I had buried, the shame I had worn like armor, the silent wounds that shaped me when I wasn’t even looking. And I wept. I wept for the person I was, the one who tried so hard to be strong while quietly breaking inside. I wept for the child in me who had waited so long to be seen, to be held, to be told I was enough, and that I always had been.

Iboga met me in the dark corners where I thought I could hide. It uncovered the sorrow I had carried without complaint; the quiet ache I never let the world see. And in that breaking I felt a love greater than I have ever known, a love from God, from the universe, from the very breath of creation, whispering that even in my pain I was never alone. I was being held. I was being guided. I was being made new.

There were no flashing images of the past, no visions of old photographs, only feeling. Raw, powerful feeling. And in that feeling I saw not just my wounds but my strength, my resilience, my sacred purpose. I saw that even my brokenness was beautiful, because it brought me here, to this moment of awakening, of surrender, of grace.

And in the quiet of that sacred Sunday afternoon, when the darkness tried to claim me, when I felt the shadow of something that wanted to pull me under, it was God who reached in and saved my soul. It was God who lit the way back when I could not see it, who reminded me that no darkness is stronger than the light of His love. I will never forget the feeling of being rescued, of being wrapped in that mercy, of knowing with every part of me that I had been spared. That I had been saved.

Tonight I sit with tears on my face, and they are not tears of sadness. They are tears of thanks. Thanks to iboga, the sacred medicine that showed me the way. Thanks to God for saving me, for lifting me from the grip of what tried to take me, for loving me back to life. Thanks to the universe for holding me in its great mystery. Thanks to the earth for grounding me when I thought I might fall. And thanks to myself for finding the courage to say yes, to trust, to believe I am worthy of this healing.

If my tears could speak they would say thank you. Thank you for giving me back to myself. Thank you for reminding me that I am, and have always been, part of something holy.
