Thank you for this. I’m sitting after night 1 of a 2 night ceremony & literally it did nothing for me even with taking the second dose. People all around me were explaining profound feelings of enlightenment & so much immense self discovery & healing & I literally sat here the entire time watching them while I felt like I was on a very mild shroom trip. Praying for change in night 2. We’ll see. 🤞🏻
That's a part of the process. A great time to use our trust and let the medicine prepare our body and mind for a deeper journey. With some people it can take up to 2-3 ceremonies before the big one. Good luck 🤞
This is so beautiful Boris... 'it will show you the path that has heart'. For those wondering if Ayahuasca is for them, you might not understand Boris words but after you meet madre ayahuasca everything will make sense, including your life. Trust, Respect, Surrender xxx
I attended a 3 night spiritual ceremony. As a spiritual person and psychic I had a truly beautiful experience, connecting with the Madre, Nature and the Universe during the day and evening before the Ceremony but the actual drink had no effect on me at all despite them giving me extra strong drinks. Absolutely Everybody else, 25 people in total had some very serious experiences but I just sat and chilled whilst watching them. That to be honest was an experience in itself. I’m very open to Spirit and see and feel many energies so I don’t really connect with the reasons given. But it’s interesting nonetheless.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s not uncommon for people to feel that way after their first couple of ceremonies. The purging you experienced is actually an important part of the process. Ayahuasca interacts with the vagus nerve, which plays a significant role in our body’s ability to release physical and emotional toxins. This cleansing is a crucial step in preparing your mind and spirit for deeper insights. In the Shipibo tradition, as well as in modern therapeutic approaches, it’s understood that sometimes more than two ceremonies are needed to truly feel the spiritual and mental effects of Ayahuasca. That’s why, in our retreats in Spain, we offer 7-day retreats with four ceremonies. This gives participants ample time and opportunity to connect deeply with the medicine. Let me share a story from one of our recent participants. She didn’t feel much during her first three ceremonies and almost lost hope. However, after the fourth ceremony, she shared that she finally understood the significance of each previous session and felt a profound connection. She was overjoyed with her progress and grateful for the entire journey. Sometimes, it takes time to establish a relationship with Ayahuasca, and it’s vital not to lose trust along the way. We all tend to give up just a moment before we win. Every journey with Ayahuasca is unique, and it’s important to be patient and trust that the process is working in ways that might not be immediately visible. If you have any further questions or need support, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Warm regards, APL Shamanic Journeys Retreat Center
Hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's not entirely uncommon for some individuals to not feel the pronounced effects of Ayahuasca immediately; thus 20 ceremonies is too many, so not to feel the connection. Also, we have no idea about the preparation you took before, the ceremonial setting, who was your shaman and guides, the quality of Ayahuasca, dosages, etc. It makes it hard to look into your situation. Still, here are a few considerations: Set and Setting: The environment and your mental state play a significant role in your experience. It's important to ensure you're in a supportive and sacred space, guided by experienced facilitators and knowledgeable shamans. Dietary and Medicinal Interactions: Certain foods and the history of taking medications can influence the effects of Ayahuasca. Following a strict Ayahuasca diet before ceremonies can make a difference. Dosage: The amount and potency of the brew can vary. It might be worth discussing the dosage with your facilitator to ensure it's appropriate for you. Intent: Sometimes, the medicine works in subtle ways, addressing deeper layers of our psyche or spiritual aspects that might not immediately surface as visionary experiences. Experience of a shaman: Well-trained shamans know many ways to support a participant in their connection with Ayahuasca. The skills of a guide play a crucial role and should not be underestimated. If you're considering joining an APL Shamanic Journey, our experienced facilitators work closely with participants to navigate and understand their unique experiences. We believe in fostering a deep connection and understanding with each individual, ensuring that everyone gets the most out of their journey. Wishing you clarity and healing on your path. 🌿✨ Warm regards, APL Shamanic Journeys Team
In our experience, one week with four ceremonies is usually enough for most people. But if someone wants to do two weeks, that's even better, and it can certainly help!
Hello, I'm truly sorry to hear that you had a challenging experience during your Ayahuasca journey. It's essential to recognize that Ayahuasca, like other powerful plant medicines, can sometimes bring forth intense, unexpected, or even frightening experiences. 1) Nature of Experience: Ayahuasca can bring up deep-seated fears, traumas, or suppressed memories as part of the healing process. Sometimes, these can manifest as auditory or visual experiences that can feel overwhelming or intimidating. 2) Integration: It's crucial to have a supportive environment and experienced facilitators to help you integrate and understand such experiences. Integration helps in deciphering the lessons, messages, or healing that these experiences can offer. 3) Safety and Support: If you ever decide to embark on another Ayahuasca journey, ensure you're in a setting that provides a safe space and has knowledgeable guides who can assist during intense experiences. 4) The Role of the Shaman: The expertise and spiritual grounding of the shaman leading the ceremony are paramount. A well-trained and intuitive shaman not only guides the ceremony but also plays a crucial role in ensuring that participants are protected from any negative energies that may be released during a ceremony or might try to enter from outside. Their presence, rituals, and knowledge act as a protective shield and guidance beacon for participants. 5) Seek Guidance: If you continue to feel discomfort or fear from this experience, it might be beneficial to seek professional guidance, like a therapist or counselor familiar with psychedelic experiences, to help process and integrate your journey. Remember, every journey with Ayahuasca is unique. While some are blissful and enlightening, others can be challenging. Both types of experiences offer valuable insights and potential for growth. Sending you strength, clarity, and healing vibes. 🌿💫 Warm wishes, APL Shamanic Journeys Team
