In this unfiltered entry, Tyler records from Turkey in the aftermath of a sleepless night marked by deep energetic movement, cramping, breathwork, and the possible dissolution of a longtime inner voice—the "eager ego" that always tried to help. He recounts a powerful Kundalini experience that challenged his trust, tested his discernment, and demanded he surrender control. Through all of it, he’s learning to distinguish what’s truly his voice versus what’s a borrowed download or pre-processed thought. This is a reflection on humility, identity, intuition, and the terrifying beauty of letting go.

In this powerful integration episode, I recount a recent psychedelic ceremony where I felt myself plugged into an infinite source of energy. What began with resistance gave way to surrender, revealing deeply embedded energies within—archetypes like the lion, the monkey, the spider, and a young ancient bear. As these inner guardians softened, something opened. Energy surged through me, awakening my heart, third eye, and a mysterious conduit in my back. This episode captures the intimate unraveling of that experience, the beauty and confusion it brought, and the sense that something sacred is now alive within me—and perhaps within you too.

In Episode 40 of The Transformation Podcast, Jesse Hunt sits down once again with Tyler Hinkson for their most intimate conversation yet. Tyler opens up about his recent peyote ceremony and the powerful insights it sparked around energy, embodiment, and spiritual sovereignty. From dancing with invisible forces to confronting the parts of himself he had abandoned, Tyler shares how this grounding experience shifted his perspective—from being moved by energy to learning how to guide it.

This episode explores:

• The difference between grandmother (ayahuasca) and grandfather (peyote) medicine

• The infinity cycle of energy and learning to honor low states without resistance

• How stillness, not movement, revealed Tyler’s true power

• His evolving relationship with spirituality after leaving organized religion

• The importance of choosing your response vs. being yanked by others’ needs

Whether you're curious about plant medicine or simply navigating your own healing path, this raw and reflective episode offers grounded insight on reclaiming your inner home.

🎧 Listen in to discover what it means to become the ember, not the flame.

Something changed in this moment—and it wasn’t just what I said, but how I said it.

For the first time, I heard my true voice—deeper, slower, without the performance. I realized I’ve often spoken from my head, from effort, from trying to be understood. But this… this came from somewhere else. It came from me.

In this episode, I talk about honoring the energy that guides me, breaking cycles of shame and guilt around how I’m wired, and learning to trust the natural rhythm of my life. I reflect on how my laugh, my silence, and even my stillness are all part of the same truth: when I stop forcing, the real me shows up.

And when he speaks—it sounds like this.

In this raw, unfiltered reflection after a peyote ceremony, I share the moment I realized that the restless energy I had accepted as “me” was never truly mine. What unfolded wasn’t a psychedelic trip—it was a deep soul-level excavation. Through guided intention, fire, stillness, and pain, I found the place in my body where something foreign had made itself at home. This is the story of how I asked it to leave. Of learning to protect my soul. Of understanding the ember within. If you’ve ever felt consumed by something you couldn’t explain, or wondered where your energy ends and another begins, this is for you.

This episode is about learning to honor energy without hijacking it — not even for good.

I talk about the difference between helping someone and trying to shape their process. I reflect on the subtle ways ego creeps in — not just through pride, but also through guilt, validation-seeking, and even in the desire to serve. And I share how I’m learning to strip ego away, layer by layer, by letting the energy guide me… only moving when it takes more force to stop than to act.

There’s clarity here — in how I speak, how I move, and how I listen. This is me learning to trust the energy that’s guiding me… and the difference between using it and being used by it.

Something has changed in me. There's an energy that flows through my body now — circular, rhythmic, alive. And when I don’t fight it, it moves me. Literally. My body begins to sway, to trace infinity symbols, to drum invisible rhythms. I’m not performing. I’m not in control. I’m listening.

In this episode, I share what it's like to feel energy as movement — physical, emotional, spiritual. I talk about my past tendencies to force myself into productivity through caffeine, workouts, or willpower… and what happened when I stopped doing that and started flowing with the energy instead of against it.

This is one of the most subtle but transformative practices I’ve discovered. And it’s real. So real. I don’t want to do anything now unless the energy moves me.
