Ayahuasca is known as vine-of-the-soul. Like all hallucinogens (including San Pedro, Peyote, Iboga, Psylocibin and others) it is a teaching medium to assist us on our journey to find out who we are and then to consciously be the best version of who we are.
Ayahuasca has also been effective in healing addictions BUT IT DOES NOT HEAL TRAUMA!
BE CAREFUL : it is important to know and trust where where the medicine has come from. Some practitioners will add 'To-ay" (Angel Trumpet) to the mix for a heightened experience. This can lead to an overwhelming experience that can be very difficult.
Neuroscience has renamed trauma to physioneurosis as it is held in the autonomic nervous system (the body) A Zen master once said “you will hear many words in your life and remember few, but you will never forget how somebody made you feel”.
Hallucinogens operate in the prefrontal cortex (the forward part of the brain – as does anti-psychotic medication). This is why it is ineffective in dealing with physioneurosis (trauma held in the body).
If you are seeking to heal your trauma please visit my Emergence Retreat and visit the testimonials.
Caution : Ayahuasca is a medicine that needs to be taken in the attendance of skilled and experienced Ayahauscero's. It is for this reason that it should not be taken outside of the Amazon. When combined with anti psychotic drugs it can be fatal. As a guide - a break of 4-6 weeks from taking medication is required before taking Ayahuasca. Knowing where the medicine is from and who has prepared it are important factors to consider.
About Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is the vine of the soul - plant medicine.
In combination with sensitive support it is a powerful ritual. When expertly applied, participants can ingest Aya and experience a transition into a world where a new and different perspective can be generated concerning life, personal identity and spiritual and psychological resources, which serve to create a healing outcome. This work is directed to the soul level of human beings and helps to create a new foundation for life. It is not an easy path and may be confronting and distressing at times as in all healing journeys and ordeals.
The sacred mythical journey of life is to go into the underworld, confront the "demon" and return to and be celebrated by the community - achieving gravitas in the process. Life provides that journey into hell or the underworld - the modern day lack of understanding of this sacred journey can result in soul damage - from this process. Healing soul damage is the domain of the shaman.
