Are you living in your authentic rhythm, or running at someone else’s pace?

In this episode of Humans Decoded, Kiran Trace, Leela, and Cami explore how each of us moves through life with a unique energetic rhythm — and how misunderstanding it can lead to burnout, control, or self-judgment.

From fairies and elves to hobbits, dwarfs, gnomes, and humans, each avatar rhythm carries a natural intelligence and pace. Yet most of us try to perform in rhythms that aren’t ours — pushing when we’re meant to feel, forcing when we’re meant to flow, or trying to “be efficient” when our magic actually lives in spontaneity.

Through hilarious real-life stories and grounded spiritual insight, this conversation reveals:

How to recognize when you’ve left your authentic rhythm
The difference between authentic efficiency and control
Why comparing your pace to others keeps you stuck in “not enough”
How understanding your avatar rhythm unlocks peace, creativity, and true presence

When you rediscover your authentic rhythm, life stops feeling like effort — and starts feeling like music.

Are we healing… or just managing our pain?
In Part 2 of Episode 118, Kiran, Leela, and Cami continue exploring how substances and awakening often intertwine on the spiritual path.
Many seekers reach for psychedelics, prescriptions, or supplements hoping for relief. However, what if the real medicine lies beyond the substance itself? This episode invites you to look deeper — beneath the control, the craving, and the quiet deprivation driving your search for peace.
Through grounded stories and decades of inner work, Kiran and her co-hosts reveal how chasing healing through substances can reinforce the very patterns we’re trying to escape.
They also share how awareness, presence, and willingness to feel discomfort open a more stable path to transformation.
In this conversation:
Why deprivation habits often lead to addiction and controlThe fine line between using support and relying on a crutchHow to meet fear and unworthiness without substancesWhy presence is the truest form of medicine
By slowing down, listening within, and embracing what’s real, you discover that true freedom doesn’t come from substances — it comes from being fully alive in this moment.

Are psychedelics and spiritual awakening truly connected? Many seekers believe that plant medicine, ayahuasca, or microdosing can fast-track enlightenment. However, the truth is more nuanced. While these substances can open doors to higher states of consciousness, they can also create subtle forms of dependency and illusion.
In this episode of Humans Decoded, Kiran, Leela, and Cami explore why so many spiritual seekers chase altered states instead of cultivating lasting peace. Through grounded stories and decades of embodied practice, they uncover the difference between real transformation and temporary escape.
In this conversation, you’ll discover: Why substances can mimic awakening but not sustain it The difference between altered states and real transformation How chasing mystical experiences keeps you from stability What integration and true embodiment actually look like
If you’ve ever wondered whether plant medicine or psychedelics can “fast-track” enlightenment, this episode brings refreshing honesty and wisdom for seekers at every stage.
