About Vinay
Born in 1983…
I’m originally from New Zealand but am often living overseas and moving about the place as I work and travel. I enjoy surfing and keeping fit, traveling, learning new types of spiritual information and experimenting with Psychedelics. In future, I hope to find a more permanent home and ‘settle down’ in my own way with a family.
Since 2018…
I have been traveling more or less full time and working initially as a full stack web developer and later as an investor. The cool kids called this ‘digital nomadism’ but for me it came from being Neurodivergent (I’m late un-diagnosed ADHD) in a Neurotypical world.
My mental health and well being suffered in ‘the real world’. I’m not built for offices and performance meetings so I left to pursue a life that was more in line with my lot in life.
At one point I was tested and found to have ‘negative emotion’ in the 94th percentile meaning something like only 6% of the population has more negative emotion than myself. Negative emotion can be thought of as anxiety and depression as well as negative ruminating thoughts. This gives you an idea of the kind of ‘mental load’ people with ADHD can experience. It undermines all your efforts and makes it hard to do much at all. It can even, as is the case with myself, be the cause of many physical ailments like Arthritis. It’s with this psychological and physical background that I pursued psychedelics and lifestyle changes to help me.
In 2018 and 2019…
I started to drink Ayahuasca in Peru and gained the experience of 9 ceremonies with Shipibo Shaman near Pucallpa, Peru. I was first attracted to psychedelics after having a ‘calling’ that they were applicable to the large amounts of negative emotion I was experiencing from un-diagnosed ADHD.
Ayahuasca preparation gave me a way to really focus on what I was consuming both mentally and as food/drink. The Dieta used to prepare for Ayahuasca is focussed on excluding many of the bad habits we have picked up over time and allows us to focus on changing these.
In combination Psychedelics offer reduction in anxiety and depression because they contain Neurotransmitters (ie psychoactive agent known as DMT or N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) that aid in the functioning of other Neural Networks which do not function well in ADHD people – ie Dopamine Network. The addition of one Neurotransmitter helps the functioning of another in the human brain according to research.
In 2022…
I stopped working full time and was lucky enough to have made enough money to stop working as a developer. I instead turned toward investing in Bitcoin (not cryptocurrencies ONLY Bitcoin) as a means to support myself. This allows me to focus on the things which I am more passionate about – psychedelics and coaching those with anxiety, depression and ADHD.
In 2024…
I started to really pursue coaching although I took a few detours through other attempted businesses as I found what suited me. These were mainly based around my pervious career as a developer and I found myself unable to pursue them because, as an ADHD’er, I struggle to continually focus on things I am only semi-passionate about. Eventually I came back to the topic of Psychedelics as it’s one I never seem to get tired of. In 2024 I am trying to build my social media presence on the topic of using psychedelics and behavioural change to address anxiety, depression, trauma and spiritual development with a view to coaching in this area.
What am I doing now?
Currently (from 2024) I am moving more into a coaching focus where I aim to help people use various psychedelic and non-psychedelic methods to,
- mange/cure Anxiety and Depression, ADHD, Psychological Trauma, PTSD and addictions (for eg Alcohol and smoking)
- and last but certainly not least, develop spiritually. Psychedelics also have the ability to allow us to start to leave the continuous cycle of birth and rebirth (Samsara in Vedics terms) by dissolving The Ego.
I have come to realise that Psychedelics, with their ability to promote the creation of new Neurology coupled with behavioural changes are integral to managing/curing the above psychological issues in addition to psychedelics.
A humans Neurology is maleable especially with the addition of psychedelics and its possible to ‘reprogram’ the new Neurology that can be generated with Psychedelics with behavior and thoughts.
With coaching in mind I have started to create free courses and tools which I think are very beneficial to both help our psychology as well as develop Spiritually.
Courses:
You can view all courses here as I create them but below is an idea of what I can offer.
Claustrum Cycles (Christ Oil Cycles):
Using our bodies natural ability to produce DMT in order to experience personal and spiritual development at a pace much less intense than drinking Ayahuasca. Claustrum Cycles, in my experience, feel very mild compared to a ‘heroic dose’ and I would compare them to a micro-dose experientially. Spiritually Claustrum Cycles allow us personal and direct insights from deity (you may prefer ‘higher self’ as a descriptor here) so that we may learn and progress. It pairs well with Fasting.
Drinking Ayahuasca:
My experience with Ayahuasca is mostly with traditions of Amazonian Peoples and I am now in the process of developing an online course which will allow the knowledge I have gathered over the years to be shared. It is aimed at allow people to prepare for drinking Ayahuasca with a Dieta, intentions and after wards ‘integration’. Ayahuasca can be used to treat and even cure psychological issues as well as deal with trauma and addictions of various kinds in addition or separate to using it as spiritual development.
Neural Reprogramming/ ADHD Management:
Our bodies Neurology is able to be programed with behaviors and thoughts. Some Neurologists say that 66 days is the length of time needed for new Neurology to be hard wired and hence I created a course, which requires no psychedelics whatsoever, where for 66 days the student makes alterations in behaviours like,
- diet,
- sleep optimisation,
- exercise,
- mantra/meditation,
- time in nature,
- fasting
- and breathe work in order to give a clean slate to your life.
This kind of lifestyle change could be paired with Ayahuasca preparation, micro-dosing, natural Claustrum cycles or have zero psychedelic input.
Fasting:
Fasting is an integral way to boost health and cure injury as well as can be combined with Claustrum Cycles. I like to pair fasting with a Carnivore/Ketogenic Diet prior to fasting and then use intermittent and longer period fasting of 24-72 hrs in order to lower inflammation, heal injuries and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Pairing a fast of 3-5 days can also help Claustrum Cycles but isn’t 100% necessary.
Micro-Dosing:
Small amounts (a micro dose) taken frequently (most days over a period of 6 weeks for eg) of Psychedelics allow someone to take advantage of a the Neurogenesis (creation of new Neurology) and Ego Dissolving properties of psychedelics while also not inducing hallucinations or ‘bad trips’ as some people describe. Paired with behavioral change as per the above Neural Reprogramming course can lead to amazing results in lowering anxiety, depression and ADHD symptoms. They also have no side effects unlike some peoples experiences with pharmaceutical ADHD medicines.
Optimizing Sleep:
Better sleep might be one of the most important and most easy things to control to give you fast improvements. I use a routine of ‘winding down’ energetically prior to sleep which includes mantra or meditation in order to reduce ‘tossing and turning’ while attempting to sleep and having higher quality sleep. This pairs well and is included in some of the other courses, for eg Neural Reprogramming/ ADHD Management.
