Christopher Solomon
In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Christopher Solomon, a somatic Salvia guide and founder of Salvia Healings, about the therapeutic potential of Salvia divinorum when approached with structure and intention.
He explains how somatic awareness, preparation, and container building can transform intense Salvia experiences into opportunities for meditation, introspection, and healing. They discuss dosage, breath, nervous system regulation, and why Salvia requires a different framework than many other psychedelics.
