After 500 Ayahuasca ceremonies, these are my TOP 10 lessons

- Among the many aspects highly prized by people partaking in Ayahuasca ceremonies, it is usually the lessons learned that stand out as the most valuable. A single ceremony has the potential to impart dozens, and sometimes even hundreds of lessons, requiring months for participants to fully digest the profound encounter. Now, consider this: what kind of insights can be gained after undergoing 500 ceremonies? Wouldn't it be intriguing to uncover the most important lessons out of the thousands learned?
Let's take a look at the top 10 of them and explore why, despite being the most basic ones, they rank as the most crucial.

There really isn’t another video like this on Aya. WOW. And also, healing as a verb-a practice. Yes and yes.
Thank you Ronnie! This is very validating to me. Fuel that keeps me going.
Ivan, you are an embodiment of a good quality human being spreading light and encouragement for healing. I have so much respect for you and your work. I loved this video!!
This is so sweet. Thank you very much ❤️
Today Im starting my healing journey, and it happened I stumbled on your channel. Gives me hope, energy and vision.
Thank you, Ivan.
Congratulations. It is totally worth it.
Ancestor trauma? I’m going to have to have a long think about that. Makes sense.
Psychedelics HEALED me soooo much !!
Me too ❤
Thank you for this!!! I'm glad I found you here. I like the balance you place between the spiritual and the rational....I'm a very middle of the road person and struggle with the ultra spiritual because it sometimes feels disingenuous. You are speaking from a place of sincerity. It's nice to hear. Thank you.
Thank you, that's validating as it is exactly what I'm trying to bring, as I also struggle with the disingenuous aspects of spirituality. Glad you enjoyed it.
Иван! Так радостнотснова встретить тебя в здесь!! Ты яркий луч, осветивший 10лет назад мою жизнь! Навсегда запомнила этот потрясающий , пробуждающий опыт! Это было всего раз, но это было невероятно!! Ценю то, что ты делаешь! И я тоже пришла к этой миссии- помогать другим пробуждаться, исцелять их души. 🙏💖💖💖🤲 Благо Дарю тебе!! Благословляю твое начинание здесь. Моя Душа шлет любовь твоей душе!🍀☀💚
Такое милое и тёплое сообшение. Спасибо огромное за такие слова. Рад за то, что наш опыт вместе сделал столько в твоей жизни ) надеюсь конечно снова встретиться когда будет время. Обнимашки!
Thank you Ivan! I just completed a 2 month master plant dieta and have been struggling with the right language to talk about healing to a Western audience. This is probably the best video on ayahuasca on the Internet right now.
Thank you Biff. Doing a 2 month dieta, if done in the traditional way, can be really hard to talk translate to the west. Glad you found it helpful!
@@IvanChocron I did a traditional dieta looking to learn about plant spirit teachers. Ended up learning about myself and how wrong my assumptions were. The shamans say it takes a lot longer to learn about spirits. But my insights into the healing process are in total agreement with everything you say here.
Thank you for sharing this. I have realized that I’m definitely not healed (yet) but find comfort in knowing that the healing is life long process. The thought of ‘goal-oriented-mind’ will stick with me for a while for sure.
I never met anyone healed anyway :) glad that viewpoint created an impact!
Ivan!!! Thank you so much for my first, gentle and so carefull experience with Aya)) I will remember that for ever. THANK YOU!
♥️♥️
Ivan, you are a talented teacher. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This has helped me get a new point of view. Please make more videos!
Thank you Ben, glad you enjoyed it. I'm releasing one a week. If you hit the notification bell after subscribing you'll get a little message when I release the next one.
Brilliant insight here. Well DONE, sir! Many important concepts I’ve not seen communicated elsewhere. Thank you, Ivan 🙏❤️🔥
Glad you found it helpful, and thank you too!
This is incredible, thank you for sharing. Please consider making a video like this in Spanish if possible. I would love to be able to share with my friends and family. Thank you! ❤🙏🏽
Thank you! Actually Spanish is my native language. But each one of these videos take at least 10-15 hours of work from writing to uploading. Maybe in the future when I have a bigger team I can delegate that task :) In the meantime they can use subtitles automatically set by TH-cam.
i needed this so much, thank you for sharing !!
Glad it was helpful!
You are brilliant. You share profound wisdom, articulate and break down ideas in a very digestible way. I’m very glad to come across your channel at its beginning phase. I will be very happy to witness your journey going forward. Best of luck with your work!
Hi Evrim. Thank you so much for your words, they mean a lot to me in this initial moments. Helps me understand I'm on the right track. I plan to give this a lot of consistency, let's see where it takes us! Big hugs.
@@IvanChocronYour work is extremely profound. So, consistency will look different for you than it does for others. I’m excited for your journey and where it will take you. I will be honored to tune in every time you feel inspired to share your knowledge. I have the utmost respect for the medicine and I highly resonate with your message. You have gained a solid one right here🙂 Sending you love and blessings!♥️✨
@@evrimozgun This means a lot to me. Thank you for such supportive words, and I'm glad you resonate with my message. I'll be happy to continue sharing :)
Thanks a lot for this video. I subbed! I have never done ayahuasca, but im definitely in the process of healing. You brought up so many great points in this video. Looking forward to more videos :)
I'm glad it was useful, even without ever doing Aya ;)
I’ve just started a journey with plant healing and this is so helpful. After just one experience i can say you have nailed it. So much hope. Thank you.
Thanks Iván ! These are powerful lessons pointing to the real healing and its potential. We are the medicine! 🥰
Thank you for sharing all of this!!
So good to see you around here! My first Max comment... I'm blushing!
@@IvanChocron The pleasure is all mine. As they say 'Give is give',
I appreciate this. Oneness Lovingness ! ☺️🙏🏽☯️💗💥☀️🌳💧🌏🍇
I had one of my most profound experiences with you! I witnessed your wisdom firsthand ;) great content.
That means a lot to me, thank you for your support!
hell yea bro, im happy that youre putting awesome info into the world, thanks for being awesome --- it was funny when u & Nico told me to turn the bathroom light off jajaja -- alejandro
Thank you Ale!
I like the analogy of the university where one learns theory which must be applied in what is so called life (real ceremony or real journey). It seems like one must apply what they have learned through Ayahuasca in real.
If your trip was to learn patience, you will be confronted with real life challenges that require patience, and once you apply your training, you become a real master.
If you learned the lessons about love and forgiveness in your ceremony, circumstances testing your capacity to love will show up in your life and you will either integrate the lessons about love and forgiveness in your life. This will demonstrate if you have dealt with any trauma related to this aspect or not.
So you are the medicine and this medicine is not left behind in the ceremony and exist in your life. When you start to realise that you are not the body and mind but an observer who is detached from reality, then you realise that you are the creator of everything what the Germans I believe calls it Ubermanch or superhuman. The consciousness with no limitations. I thoroughly enjoyed your video 🌹
The word is Ubermensch 🌹
You nailed it. I love analogies and examples, and you gave really good ones!
This should be the introduction for everyone who is about to drink ayahuasca, very nicely put together. Thanks Ivan
You're very welcome, glad you think so!
Really helpful ❤
You are amazing!
Это мы!
Brilliant bro, thanks a lot for spelling this out! It really helped!!!🙂
Happy to hear, and thanks for watching.
Excellent!!
Glad you like it!
14:49 about Demons. I would like to share my idea re this. I think this "inner battle" you're talking about is between the higher, developed version of you, versus the hurting/more immature/animalistic part of you. I would not label it as either good or bad, it just is. Maybe call it the Ego of the person. The Ego serves as the mind's defense mechanism. When you are emotionally hurt for example, the ego comes up with "logic" for you to believe so that you do not have to face the painful feelings. For example, "I don't care about her, she was lame as hell anyways," you say when she decides to not pursue the relationship further. Instead of facing the pain of the break up as it is, your ego instead created a certain perspective so that you do not have to do that (this does not resolve trauma though, it's like a bandaid).
The mind is biologically geared to seek pleasure and avoid pain. This is the product of evolution over time so that it may survive and continue existing. Life perseveres to continue, and it will do it in whatever ways it can, including ways that we might think of as "destructive." What the mind seeks might be counterintuitive to the morals that your higher version of self wants to abide by.
The more you take a look at the "demon", the more you understand its nature. When you have a "bad" thought, do not conclude it is a "demon" and try very hard to push it away. Take a look at it, face it, explore it. You'll find that it comes from a part of you that needs to be resolved. As you work with this "demon", you'll find that it's actually a misunderstood child whose needs have not been met, and have only learned dysfunctional ways of coping from their very limited capabilities at the time. This is essentially trauma. Find that kid, nourish them, and you'll notice that you will experience "peace."
Just as the version of you who keeps wanting to eat fries, this comes from trauma as well. The human being developed to seek high calorie food items as food used to be scarce and running the human body required a great chunk of fuel due to our advanced brain structure. You are wired in certain ways, and it is neither good nor bad.
Thanks for your perspective. I didn't mention good or bad, I tend to use those words very carefully. I only mentioned them as a force that drive us to do things that are against our wellbeing. There are many ways to approach them, and they are very related with all the things you are mentioning. I will release a video just on that topic so that I can expand. And I always welcome cool and thought provoking dialogue. Thanks for your input!
thanks
Love it. Well done brother. We miss you here on the East Coast. How about a video on the beauty of the dark... it's divine balance with light... and the semantic difference between personal darkness (demons) and Universal darkness (divine). How our minds and culture have prejudice against nature -- the night (dark) or soil (dirt). Come back East, but give up some months notice as we are planning ceremonies so far in advance. Keep up the great advice.
I like the idea. All video recommendations are always welcomed. I'll add it to my list of requested topics. About me coming back to the east coast... well, not sure it'll happen anytime soon. I'm stepping away from ceremonies to give space and energy to this project. But it might happen. If it does, you'll find out :)
Ivan! so funny I clicked on this!. Its Alex, the guy living in your backyard. hahahah
Nice place to meet again!
Looking for the next video every friday (:
You are hooked! ❤
How can you heal the wounds of all the global conflicts now? Crime, accidents, sickness, inequality, homelessness, joblessness, poverty, hunger, thirst, closed systems, abusive countries, neglectful organizations, and more? And there are many wonderful good parts of life that need celebration and encouragement. Many good people who have wonderful potential that is never realized.8000 Million humans. 5000 Million on the Internet but still disconnected. 2000 Million from 4 to 24 just learning the world for the first time. Many many disconnected and alone in the world. 800 Million over 65 now.
I can't heal the wounds of all the global conflict now, because it isn't mine to do. What I, and everyone else can do, is do as much healing work as possible and realize and embody what their unique gifts are which always lead, in one way or another, to a more healed world, so that they can start living through them. It won't heal all the wounds of the world, but it will heal their own, teach others how to do the same, and create the change that is up to each person to create. I don't see any other quicker and more direct way.
I combine MDMA with mushrooms and I CURED my intrusive suicidal thoughts !! It was drowning flashbacks and I didn’t know it.
Psychedelics can have extremely powerful healing effects. I'm happy to hear they worked for you!
100% ❤
Re ancestral trauma- Recently heard podcast that explained Pavlov's experiments in which they conditioned mice or something and scared them. The conditioning lasted several generations. More than just 'natural selection' Darwinism is evident.
That sounds like a great experiment. It makes so much sense that you would pass on to the next generations the potential dangers to your own species. I assume that's stored in the part of the DNA that science can't figure out what it is for, called "junk DNA".
Hey brother, thank you for your reminders. I had been on a strong path of healing and spiritual practice most of my adult life, but i feel like i fell off my horse about 4 years ago. I lost all momentum and have been going in circles ever since. Despite that, I'm always yearning to return to my life before the pandemic. Not to say it's all been bad: in fact, there has been some very necessary healing during this time, but i know i need to get back to my spiritual practices and continue my healing quest beyond the four walls and a nine to five.
I'd really like to ask where you participate in aya ceremonies, but i can understand if that's not something you are willing to share publicly. I need to reconnect with my higher visions so I can make sense of what I'm doing here. I thought i knew before, but I've really lost a lot of sense of myself and my spiritual path over these past few years. It's painful to see myself resisting it even, but i know i must keep on the path. It's hardly an option, but like you say, it is a decision, and knowing what i know, i also already know what my decision will be. There is no way but forward.
Much love friend.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
As you say, it isn't something I'll share publicly. But you can talk to me directly on my socials.
Like a pendulum, you were doing great, now you are not, and I know you will do great again at some point. Wishing you lots of strength until that happens.
@@IvanChocron thanks for the reassurance. I'd love to connect somehow, but I deleted all social media aside from yt. Is there somewhere I could locate your email perhaps? If not, I'm not going to pry. I'm confident all things will work out as they should.
@@IvanChocron also, I subscribed to your channel. I resonate with your message deeply, and I know you though we've never met before. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
@@mountainmanxyz Thank you, it means a lot to me, I'm glad you resonate. You can add your email to my mailing list, you can see it in the description of this video, or at the bottom of my website (www.ivanchocron.com), looking forward to keeping in touch!
❤
lol ok that explains your mush head buses on the train
What if there's nothing you wish hadn't happened in your past? I definitely don't feel liie a super enlightened angel but I don't have any major traumas or what was there I've processed years ago.
My experience with this topic is that those things are there but have not yet been uncovered. There is also levels of wishing things to be different. Sometimes that wish is there but it isn't too big, or we are too used to it. Last, we might have developed a protective mechanism around those things, so we can't feel them anymore. I'd be curious to explore those areas, as every time I encounter people that say something similar, after digging and exploring we find them :)
My healing is overdue, but so many ayahuasca retreats seem like recreational tourism rather than authentic spiritual healing. Is there a particular retreat/ceremony that you or anyone here would recommend? I have profound trauma that clinical psychotherapeutic modalities like psychiatry and counseling have not been able to address efficaciously. I need an authentic shamanic practice, not a vacation. Do you have any guidance?
You are right, many are like that, and many others are not but they are not safe.
This, unfortunately, is not the place to recommend retreats, as I'm not promoting the use of Ayahuasca online.
But you can fill up a form on my website and we can be in touch, or talk to me on IG.
Good luck!
Rolando Tangoa in Pucallpa. Some of his Icaros are on youtube
@@drthunda I can't vouch for that. For new people especially I don't recommend Peru because shamans tend not to be western-type trauma informed.
@@IvanChocron To share a little bit more I know Rolando personally. He has been practicing for over 40 years and worked at Nihue Rao with Ricardo Amaringo for over a decade. He has worked with thousands of Westerners. I would trust that anyone who sees him would be in very good hands. His character is pristine and he is very careful, patient, and measured in his approach. The reason I recommended him to gruffalo is because unlike many current practitioners he is not commercially driven. For the tourist I would recommend other centers but for those interested in the medicine in an authentic traditional way, I highly recommend him.
Didn't you ever meet beings (like jaguar, serpents, or Machine Elves) and directly ask life mystery questions?
Yes, many many times. Why?
It would awaken many to know what they said. Please share with us if you are inclined to.
My foremost question, How to awaken everyone and escape the Matrix.
Secondary question, is there really worldwide destruction very soon and will Aliens save mankind or continue to enslave?
Thank you.
@@AndroidSamsung-qz9pl Actually, it wouldn't awaken anyone. Those kind of experiences need to be experienced by oneself. When talked about them using words, those experiences sound too ungrounded or unreal. But I'll take the suggestion and one day will try to make a video about the direct messages I got from those kind of experiences.
I don't see worldwide destruction anytime soon. How to escape the Matrix, you can do it for short periods of time in deep states of meditation or using certain plants. But to truly escape it, that's what our dear friend death is for.
@@IvanChocron I truly appreciate your reply.
Knowledge is Knowledge. Truth is Truth. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear will get it and be thankful.
Thank you, this is so helpful & empowering!!! Healing GOLD!!! 🙌🏼🫶🏽🙏🏾🌌❤️🔥
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
