I have just returned from speaking at the Health, Happiness and Soul expo, at the Gold Coast Convention centre, and at the Rainbow Serpent Festival, outside Beaufort in Victoria. Talk about extreme opposites. The Health, Happiness and Soul expo, advertised with huge banners featuring Buddha, lotuses and similar imagery was in a commercial expo environment – a huge hall with concrete floors, fluorescent lighting and aisles of personal trainers in matching polo shirts flogging new weight loss machines or mass produced foods. On the upside there were lots of psychics. The highlight was Jason McDonald who is a terrific psychic and entertainer, and a mesmerising performance by Sacred Earth which was so powerful it overrode the piped music and commercial atmosphere of the place and stopped people in their tracks. These mind, body, spirit festivals used to be filled with energy and life and colour and I was left wondering what had happened to the new age.

I have spent the last year researching and writing my latest book “Drug Repair That Works” and working almost exclusively with hard-drug users. As a therapist you often attract clients that assist you on your own healing path and the last twelve months have also been a revelatory journey to the heart of psychosis. I came to understand that in Traditional Chinese medicine this is a journey of the separation of Yin and Yang or body and mind. However, as I finished the manuscript, I started to see non-drug using clients presenting with panic and anxiety disorders, bulimia, anorexia, IBS, itchy skin, anger issues and excessive sexual behaviours. These symptoms too were arising from lifestyles that had led to the separation of Yin and Yang. In a way, the drug users’ symptoms exemplified the conditions the rest of the population were potentially heading for but at a much slower rate. The solution for all of us is to reunite Yin and Yang and we do this by living the perfect day. Continue reading ‘THE NEW WAY OF LIVING by Jost Sauer’

Over the last two weeks I have been dealing with the aftermaths of a bad batch ecstasy which seriously affected the rave and party scene in Brisbane including the tragic death of a talented young girl. Many young people finished off in hospital and most were diagnosed with drug induced psychosis. Concerned parents sent their ‘kids’ to see me and I observed the same symptoms in each presenting case which I consider as the real cause of the ‘drug-induced’ psychosis.

I propose that hallucinogenic drugs such as ecstasy and LSD work by using a previously unused information capacity of the brain while providing the brain with sufficient flexibility to accommodate diverse forms and levels of consciousness. In other words, hallucinogenic drugs ‘open up’ the mind. Continue reading ‘‘Bad Batch’ Ecstasy’
