A SACRED PLANT MISUNDERSTOOD
Long before I began setting intentions, meditating, or collecting crystals, Cannabis was one of my wisest teachers. For thousands of years, across many cultures, religious sects, and spiritual teachings, this sacred plant has offered profound wisdom.
Cannabis invites us to move beyond our inhibitions and limited understanding, immersing ourselves in the realm of possibility, imagination, and attainment. When explored through a spiritual lens, Cannabis reveals how divinely guided we can be when we open ourselves to its wisdom.
The flower of the female Cannabis plant unlocks the yin—the receptive, nurturing energy within us all. In doing so, it fosters a deeper connection to nature, more authentic exchanges with others, and communion with different facets of ourselves.
Yet, this way of being is not how we’ve been conditioned to navigate the physical world. Instead, we’ve adopted the mindset of a conqueror on a constant quest, driven by the masculine yang energy: always striving for more—more wealth, possessions, and status. Rarely do we pause to consider what we might release to find contentment and peace. But many of us are beginning to recognize this imbalance, carrying the weight of emotional baggage, trauma, and the narrow perceptions of reality shaped by educational systems, religious doctrines, familial influences, and our relationships. This accumulation creates an undeniable need to unpack.
A need to find balance.
Being vulnerable—bringing what you need to release to the forefront—and accessing your emotions in the heightened awareness that Cannabis can create is a practice. For many of us, our first encounters with Cannabis were more about avoidance than engagement, using it to escape what weighed us down rather than embracing the opportunity to let go.
Letting go is a muscle that requires practice. It’s about giving yourself permission to lay everything down. It’s about detachment. It’s about learning to trust your resilience.
Letting go is about finding peace by no longer tethering the present moment to past or future outcomes. It’s about relinquishing the need to control every aspect of your human experience.
Cultivating this practice with intentionality and discipline through Cannabis can profoundly impact creativity, physical and emotional health, and spiritual enlightenment.
Strengthening your let-go muscle may look like:
Challenging your perspective by rewiring how you interpret situations to foster compassion for yourself and others.
Using affirming inner dialogue that reinforces you are enough and complete, independent of what you own, who you associate with, or any attachment to the ego.
Clearing physical and energetic space by releasing objects, memories, or associations that no longer encourage lightheartedness, freedom, clarity, growth, or the best version of yourself.
Evaluating what you truly need for growth versus what will hinder you, distinguishing between what serves and what burdens you.
Meditating on lightness by visualizing your heart as light as a feather, working with a rose quartz crystal, or setting positive affirmations around releasing and letting go.
The let-go muscle grows through intentional effort and a willingness to embrace vulnerability. With practice, it becomes a tool for transformation—allowing you to step into your most authentic, peaceful, and empowered self.
