In what ways do psychedelics contribute to fostering mindfulness in the realm of sexual experiences, enhancing the mind-body connection?

About Our Panelists:
Daka Ziji:
Ziji is a Tibetan word that translates as “full of splendour,” “brilliance,” or “confidence.” Sensual massage is way to restore ourselves to this state. Ziji has spent more than eight years studying massage with friend and mentor Sequoia, who has been doing this work for almost 40 years. Ziji has long believed in the power of the body to heal, transform and awaken us to our spiritual dimension. This comes from many years of journeying in different spiritual traditions, including First Nations spirituality, Tantric Buddhism, and yoga. For Ziji, this culminated in spending two years in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Canada, developing a meditation practice, and learning tantric practices. This work has made him deeply attuned to the inner workings of his own energy, which allows him to intuitively sense what somebody needs to create transformation and healing. Ziji is also a 200-hr Registered Yoga Teacher, which helps with my understanding of anatomy and alignment.
