If You Are Taking Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca is a plant that grows in the Amazon, it's been around for thousands of years, was used by the ancients to contact the 'divine'. In the last few decades it's been rediscovered by the west, by botanists who have written on the plant the most notable book is A Spirit Molecule. In recent years, writers such as the new age author Stuart Wilde have written about their experiences with the plant, and the pop musician Sting, in his autobiography. It's provided them with greater awareness, and further discoveries in the field of spirituality, metaphysics, etc.

I was turned onto the idea of taking Ayahuasca after listening to a Stuart Wilde radio interview on www.newsforthesoul.com spiritual news show radio which deals with the uplifting to the unexplained

where he talks alongside www.heartoftheinitiate.com's Ralph Miller, who runs Ayahusaca sessions in South America on a luxury beach location. One of the greatest facilitatators is said to be Darpan who is said to be very experienced with the sessions -- you will have to research him as I don't have further details about him at this time, unfortunately. But check these links out and they will leave you in good stead.

I took ayahuasca in Peru, with www.spiritpathperu.com it was as cheap as $20 dollars per day, in a hut with a fellow called Roman. I think the location is a way of honouring Ayahuasca who is a Goddess of sorts and seen as a Teacher by the Shamans. Though, some people purchase it in their local area from herbal stores in USA and other places.

The plant is specially prepared into an elixir and there's a non-milk diet to adhere to before ingesting the plant. In the newsforthesoul interview mentioned it describes Ayahuasca as therapy in a cup. It's a very intensely transformative and cathartic way to learn about yourself.

Ayahuasca contains a component DMT which the pineal gland in the human brain secretes during birth, death, and near death experiences. It gives you what you are ready for and if you take it again you pick up where you left off. In my experience I had my kundalini rising started up, and I have been raising it up only gradually since then -- there are a great diversity of happenings of Ayahuasca. I also experienced some of the contents of the unconscious, in Jungian terms, the Shadow together with the Walt Whitmanesque True Self. Stuart Wilde, Jung, Edgar Cayce, all have written about the shadow, and it can be a scarey process of self knowledge but with it comes greater awareness -- perhaps more sophisticated than the love and light cliche's of the new age, which perhaps sugarcoats the more brutal aspects of truth of our selves, which maybe painful but rewarding, too and well worth the effort if you are a bit daring and curious!

Other people have reported entering upon fractal domes of indescribably beautiful geometries, on taking the plant, or who have had healings. One memorable anecdote is that a dancer injured her hip dancing, when she ingested the plant medicine, mysterious spirit beings came to repair her hip, strange but true.

In the Book 'Grace of Gaia' by Stuart Wilde he recounts his experience on Ayahuasca with regard to Buddhist Wheel of Reincarnation and Suffering in particular:

As I got closer, I began to feel the pain of it: billions of women in labour (it was really quite disturbing) ... and then I could feel the suffering of people's deaths. ...

The agony of cold deaths mixed with the pain of the human births was a great shock; and then when I saw the pain of all the human evil that reincarnation requires people to try to sort out, it overwhelmed me quite quickly.

In this short video clip from YouTube, Alex Grey also was shown insights of a similar hue on the Buddhist Wheel of Reincarnation

I took Ayahuasca too, from my experiences I would agree with this Youtuber comment left on the Alex Grey video sums it up quite nicely if I were to give advice to any Ayhuasca takers out there

'A buddy of mine had dmt extract and all this shit and he brewed it up for me, its super strong man it was unlike any trip ive ever experienced, its not for the weak minded you should definitely go through some preparation before doing it if you ever get the chance. But if you handle it well it will be the most life changing experience of your life, definitely worth it, changed me forever'.
