Ashley Manta: Why are intention and mindfulness important when working with plant medicine?

The intention is a powerful force, it can make or break any mindset. The plant spirit is the second oldest consciousness on the planet directly after the consciousness contained in crystals and stones. This consciousness is shared within us as well, although we have not been on the earth nearly as long as the plants. Followed then by animals and lastly humans. This is why plants quite literally know MORE. It is vital for us to learn from them.

You don’t go into the grocery store without the intention of getting something to eat, so don’t waste the power of intention when working with any plant medicine. If you are then you are running on what we like to call “auto-pilot” in the metaphysical community and this results in mundane results and sometimes even backfires from what you want. If you are using plant medicine with the intention to “escape” you may have the opposite effect because the consciousness of the plant has the intention to work with you.

Bringing a level of mindfulness into your practice of using plant medicine daily can change your perspective of reality. There is an intention that drives every aspect of our being. In order to have the best experience out of life, including consciously working with the other spirit medicines on the planet (animal, plant, stone, and human) we have to work with intention. Otherwise, you are just coming in and out of the matrix without evolving. Evolution happens when intention and mindfulness join together and propel your thoughts to expand, your creativity to blossom, and your confidence takes root.

A.M- How can CBD help individuals and/or couples be more present with themselves and each other?

CBD is a neuroprotectant which means it protects against or helps repair the damaging effects of strokes and other brain-related cases. {Merriam-Webster definition}. The body with its cannabinoid receptors also takes a big role in brain detail. Just like you perform better when you are hydrated, your functions, while taking CBD, may really help you connect with your partner on a regular basis.

CBD is known to reduce anxiety and this can be such a great factor when you are with your significant other. We often get so deep into our heads about what our lover thinks, “Oh I shouldn’t do that,” or “Maybe she will like this If I do that.” CBD can help bring those “wild thoughts” into more balance. CBD can help you release anxiety and be comfortable in your own skin. Take time to give yourself or your lover a CBD salve massage and pay attention to body language as the CBD soaks into the bloodstream after a good 15 minutes. I have had great experiences with my partner connecting over CBD. CBD helps by increasing my awareness during my partner's interactions with me and I am able to read body language with distinct clarity, knowing where to travel on the body for continual relief.

A.M — How can CBD and cannabis enhance our ability to connect on an energetic level?

The law of Thermodynamics tells us once energy is created, it can not be destroyed. It says that energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Therefore, CBD and Cannabis become part of your vibrational makeup when you consume it. — Maggie Wilson

The endocannabinoid system, which we are still learning a lot about, as well as the energetic field that encompasses our entire being are thermodynamic energies. It’s insane to deny the quantum physics that make up our bodies and understanding how your energy levels fluctuate and change based on food, your environment, and your thoughts can really change the way you see life.

The Cannabis plant spirit is one that works with the energy level of our species because it has been ingrained in our bodies for centuries. Do we ever stop to ask ourselves why the fight or flight response comes so easy? The cells of our body contain memory and Cellular DNA that has been passed down from previous generations, these can pass down to us without our knowledge. I have had clients share with me they feel CBD helps them calm anxiety they never knew they had, it was some energy they had picked up many years before. At our core, we all carry energetic levels of trauma, and this energy allows us to keep playing programs we picked up from others. We all experience this singularity aspect of knowing how to just be ourselves and CBD can help break down energetic walls that we start building in our earliest relationships.

A.M- How do CBD and reiki fit together? How can combining those things be helpful for individuals or couples looking to deepen their intimacy?

It’s really great how Reiki and CBD blend so well, probably the best fit being Reiki works no matter what. Reiki is the spiritual life force energy that is guided by the origin of consciousness. It’s that spark inside of us all and it knows everything. We have a system built to open and receive Reiki just like the Endocannabinoid system is built to open and receive Cannabis. — Maggie Wilson

Taking CBD sublingually before a Reiki session may help clients become more open to receiving the ways the Reiki will work for them. In Reiki, you are never given more than you can handle, similar to how INCREDIBLY hard it is to overdose on CBD. Reiki and CBD are two components that quite literally go hand in hand.

A.M- Do you have any recommendations for music? Perhaps things to consider when folks are making a playlist for their CBD-fueled sexy times?

Music is a total game-changer. Always have some music playing. Take time to make your own playlists and curate vibes for yourself to elevate your moods or flow into the mood to make love. Keep it simple and fun! If it feels good…go with it.

If this brings you anxiety even thinking about creating a playlist then my recommendations for music would have to be the multiple playlists on Spotify titled Do You Consent? There are over 26 volumes (now 44+) and counting of these playlists that range from full in lovely moody vibes, instant dance parties, and all-out sexy jams.

These playlists are guaranteed to get you in a great mood and make you want to be with your lover. When you listen to a playlist you want to be taken on a journey, the DYC playlists do just that! Each playlist can be paired to create a mood for any CBD product you want to incorporate into the day. Plus the genius behind them has the most electric ear for music I have ever come across.

A.M- One of the date ideas I’m going to suggest is that couples consume CBD/cannabis and go to a sound bath together. Do you think that’s a good date idea? Tell me about how that could help them connect with themselves/each other and how CBD can open them up more to that experience.

I like the idea of CBD and a Sound bath because the vibrations from the sounds are geometrically harmonic with our vibrations.

The science behind why sound baths are beneficial usually isn’t at the forefront of how sound baths are marketed.

It’s a lot of “come get grounded and release your fear” type of jargon. Sound healing bowls and tools are tuned to geometrically harmonic frequencies which merge with our own vibration to alleviate different shifts in our current field. One specific field of sound Hz is based on the ancient Solfeggio scale. This scale is based on mathematical configurations as the 7 platonic shapes of the universe. The Flower of Life and the Fibonacci are formed by these harmonics which activate our bodies energetically.

Having CBD helps you to relax and then when you step into space where all you have to do is receive the healing vibrations from around you is almost too easy! You can hold hands with your partner or in my workshops, I see great moments having the partners sit back to back and experience each other breaths throughout the sound bath( I did this on Jam Cruise in the Caribbean at the start of 2020 — see photos here), This helps you really connect and drop in faster and deeper. The combination of the CBD working with your body to calm is met with the support of having your partner with you to journey together is a great step in conscious dating. You can definitely marry the partner (if that’s your jam) who goes to the sound bath with you!

A.M- If you’re willing, share a mindfulness or intention-setting practice that readers can use before consuming to maximize the benefits and get them into a good headspace for giving and receiving pleasure.

Pleasure sits in the body in a variety of different places. Most would tell you this is in the second chakra, but let’s go to the psychological area that represents pleasure. This is the ankles! Our ankles represent our ability to receive and give pleasure. Rubbing the ankles can feel amazing ( of course use a CBD Salve), and can help move the energy around. This can be a pleasurable activity in itself, you can sensually massage your lovers’ or your own ankles.

Before you step into the mindset of giving or receiving pleasure begin repeating to yourself the phrase, No Judgement — No Expectations. Communication is ALWAYS key when it comes to our pleasure circuits, especially communication with the self. Be open and direct when it comes to your pleasure from your partner, they do love it when we tell them what we like.

Be honest with yourself. Set an intention to receive pleasure. Tell yourself you are safe and it is okay to receive pleasure. You deserve to experience the totality of your energetic being and pleasure stemming from pure loving intention is universally healing.
