Flow States & Be Here Now (30:00)
Madison reflects on the NYC basement jams she would attend where people were ecstatically tapping into flow states by chanting songs in Hebrew and Yiddish. Through this lens, Madison inquires with Brooke: what in life gets her into that ‘be here now’ flow state? To close, they discuss the nuance of intention and mindfulness surrounding taking psychedelics.
“The point of life is to get into this flow state… If you’re not getting to that point ever, then what is the point of everything else? If you’re not enjoying the process, if you’re not finding these moments of ecstatic flow state bliss which then enables you to do things in the world and contribute—then what are you doing?” – Madison Margolin
“It’s been such a gift to know that I’m safe and part of it all. And that is because of plant medicines—they have given me the gift of that feeling, of that comfort, of that knowing that I am part of it all.” – Brooke Burgstahler
