AYAHUASCA - 1 Year Later: How it completely changed my life.

It has now been 1 year since I traveled to Iquitos, Peru where I took part in 4 Ayahuasca ceremonies. In this video I explain the reasons why I decided Ayahuasca was the right decision for me to do. I also delve into what to expect and how to prepare, then move on to the benefits I received from taking part. and how my life has never been the same since. More so I'm not the same person as I was before I did Ayahuasca. It changed me forever.
I hope you enjoy the video and if in some way this video helps someone in any way possible, I will be extremely happy with that result.
Ayahuasca is not for everyone and if it's something that you do not agree with then I respect your views and opinions but I do feel it is very important for us to be open and accepting of other cultures and their ways and practices of life and healing. I Feel it's important for people not to become dogmatic and always be receptacle to learning. If something can help people live a happier and more fulfilled life, help people deal with issues that a lifetime of medication has not been able to, then I do not see how it can be viewed as something negative.
Thank you so much for watching and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I would be happy to answer any questions!
Also I would love to hear from anyone who has participated in Ayahuasca and they're experience from it.
And if you know of any further spiritual practices that has help you in any way then please let me know, i'm always so excited to learn new things.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I went through 2 ceremonies a few days ago because my dog passed away tragically last year. It completely shattered me and the grief was inconsolable. She was my soul dog. Like you, I have never done any drugs, smoked cigarettes or barely drunk in my life. I found ayahuasca documentaries by chance. The experience for me was eye opening and difficult. It is not a miracle medicine but I do know it starts to help me heal. ❤🐕

[@azaliyahx]

You've got such a good energy!!

[@Stafford81]

Honestly, an incredibly honest, real and raw video, so I thank you. This has helped my in my own personal quest/ journey 🙏

[@saanu10]

Thank you for sharing. Had my own experience a few weeks ago and am trying to reintegrate after that transformational experience. Very nice to hear about how you are doing a year out. Stay well. Keep that vibe - its great!

[@Nqo19]

Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to hear about the ceremonies.....and oh you're so cute by the way☺️

[@adrianaespinoza2216]

Very interesting, I like your new approach to life. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@SailingNovaturient]

Thank you for this video! I would have never guessed that you were a shy person before ayahuasca. I’m an introvert/shy/socially reticent person and I’m hopeful that ayahuasca will help me be a little less wary of people. My ceremony is in a few weeks. Wish me luck!

[@SailingNovaturient]

@@matthewsugg9265 my experience with the ayahuasca was actually mostly peaceful and beautiful, but there was a lot of vomiting and misery at the end. When everyone else was recovered, I was laying on the ground unable to walk, feeling very sick. People came to check on me and bring me water at times, but I also felt very alone at times. An overall takeaway for me was periods of aloneness is something I can and should embrace, but ultimately I am loved and the universe will provide. Since then, my social anxiety has not completely resolved but it did get a lot better. And as of this moment, I’m in the hospital recovering from a scary heart issue, but luckily I am alive and I will be for some time. It’s mostly the recent illness that has eliminated my social anxiety. I am highly motivated, determined, and excited to live every moment to the full and not let fear hold me back from enjoying life and making connections with people.

[@m_g4547]

Thank you for this genuine video and for being so real about your experience ❤

[@andreya6156]

I really enjoyed getting to know about your experience, I have my ceremony in a couple of days and what really resonated is that Ayahuasca will always look for you. I remember a friend talking about his experience out of the blue, last year around march and at that point I got the feeling that maybe something was leaning me towards the experience. I kept pushing the experience back, however my life has turned around since then, I was unemployed and kinda figuring out what I really wanted to do and trying to think of ways I could improve myself but what really happened was that I lost direction, lost focus and ended up losing my wife, my kids and although I do see them, the family unit is not there anymore and everything just crumbled, I've come to think that one of the problems that could be the root is that I unconciously have never felt enough as a person, I dont feel worthy,....hence why I was/am always trying to be better(better father, better husband, better human) when in reality I was creating a separation as I was only living in my head.....I am really looking forward for the experience and although I feel nervous about it, I know that I was called to do it. Thank you for the video.

[@iamkingazir]

How was your experience? I’d love to know!

[@ashwoodtreecare]

I second this. How was your experience?

😂😂😂Dyeing laughing at your description of the taste of ayahuasca! Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate your emotional response regarding the transition of your dog. I love dogs and, my heart is longing to give and receive the love I feel for one. I am manifesting my soul dog into my life and so looking forward to loving him/her. Have you gotten another dog? ❤

[@jannufrutos5308]

Thanks for sharing your journey and experience in a such genuine way. I could relate to you in so many aspects. I wish you a blessed life full of growth and connection :)

Haux Haux Aqui no Brasil comungamos da bebida de 15 em 15 dias se quisermos, mas o mais comum é 1 vez por mês ou a cada 2. A Ayahuasca tem os seus próprios mistérios, não importa o quanto estudamos, experimentamos ou nos aprofundamos nela, ela sempre tem mais a ensinar para quem tem humildade de aprender, mas se a superioridade ilude a mente, ela não ensina mais nada... É uma bebida sim, mas existe alguma força externa que a comanda. Curiosidade: A Ayahuasca é um chá composto por duas plantas, o jagube (cipó) e a chacrona ( arbusto= rainha), não é uma simples mistura, requer vários dias fervendo em uma panela, tem toda uma forma especial, dês da forma como pega, que são as mulheres na lua certa, e do preparo que é feito com rezas e canções.... É uma verdadeira alquimia que os povos originários descobriram a milhares de anos no meio da floresta. Outra curiosidade: Não importa a dose que você tomar, se não for o seu momento nada vai acontecer, agora se for a hora certa para você, basta 15 mililitro para você transcender. A experiência é de cada um, e de quão preparada é a alma da pessoa. Algumas pessoas permanecem em experiências banais como pensamentos e dilemas banais, mas o verdadeiro buscador sincero transcende no espírito e encontra todas as respostas que procura. A ayahuasca apenas amplifica aquilo que você já é, não faz milagres, mas te possibilita alcançar todos o seu potencial ( o que já é um milagre por si mesmo). O segredo da ayahuasca é a entrega, ela vai te desfragmentar, e o ego encara isso como uma morte, muitos se agarram a qualquer coisa do ego para não se deixar ser levado pela experiência, mas quem se entrega acaba entrando no que chamamos de força, que é o fluxo da consciência que existe em tudo, quem se entrega de verdade se difunde na força e se integra na força e tem a grande experiência de ser tudo o que existe... É humildemente falando, como ser Deus, mas sem o ego para te enganar com ilusões, apenas ser o que você já é, o grande "Eu sou", mas não vá acreditando que conseguirá chegar a isso sem ter desenvolvido desapego ... O apego é o que não te permite ver a realidade do que existe além de você próprio, portanto prepare-se, para poder ter a melhor experiência que a ayahuasca pode lhe proporcionar, e não apenas ficar na superfície do todo. Saia do ego.

Thank you very much. I will definitely be making videos about the ceremonies soon.

[@elkevaikla8821]

What a lovely spirit you have

[@linlinali]

“food makes with good intention” doesnt sound weird. the reason we should say a prayer before we eat and the reason once anyone makes food should not make it with anger hatred sadness.. everything is energy our thoughts and moods are energy that directly goes to food to our pets to another person to our plants and they all feel what we feel. it is true man. I love your video!!❤❤❤❤thank you for sharing all what you did!! you are a beautiful soul really!!!

[@rcorser1]

Excellent real life honest testimonial. Thank you for being brave and having the courage to share. Any updates? Planning to do it again? Thanks again. 😄💪

[@qeteshruach2722]

I completely understand that love and grief you feel for your soul companion.

[@naturelove4448]

Thank you kindly for your beautiful informative video! You're a very special soul! Just a question regarding 'entention' do you have to say it out loud before drinking or can you just say it inside your own head/heart? More info regarding intention setting would be extremely helpful. Peace ✌️

[@josephmillson234]

Bravo. I recently did my first ceremonies. I was trying to communicate the benefits to my 19 year old son. Your video is really going to help with that. Thanks so much. It's a wonderful world with Mother Aya huh? as i'm just discovering. keep it up you rock.

[@robertr.k.4520]

Thanks a lot for the video. I have gained a lot of information. I am a Healer and a starseed. I'm about to try my first ayahuasca right here in the USA. What's funny is that you can buy the ingredients on the internet after the right search for legal hallucinogenic. Meanwhile, I know that you don't use drugs but if you smoke weed and meditate on it you will get back to the same place because that your body will remember the feeling. Until you go back to Peru this is what I recommend.

[@DesiGheeee]

Second that

[@DesiGheeee]

I take midnight bars by midnight roots, 30 mins before meditation and I can feel her right there with me like she has never left my sight 🎍🪴🐉🐲🐿🦚🦜 I take that when I feel like I’m going through bit tough time or I just need some push to do something that I know is for my own good, it kinda fastened the process. I don’t procrastinate and make things happen. I’m trying to do ayahuasca again this year in September for the second time after a year. (Bit expensive) Seems like she is gonna find a way make that possible for me. I can’t wait to share my story after a year how it has changed my life.)

[@linlinali]

buying ingredients alone is not the solution. its important to have people who guide your properly through the entire process keep you safe and sound. i believe in human community connection where the plant medicine is the secondary player and the main players are us humans the community we form together and share together.

[@linlinali]

Vipassana meditation retreat was similar too… everyone is there for healing it gives you a community safe place. when i left i was crying as i never felt on any community accepted and loved and safe. I also recommend vipassana 10 days meditation retreat. It is donation based and powerful. Strict diet strict daily schedule and so so much worth it.

[@claudiocrypto2563]

Important question: Do you know any peruvian person or any other amerindian person who ever seek for this kind of treatment? Have you met any of these people in the retreats, other than the shamans there? I've watched plenty of videos about Ayahuasca and I can only see western/americans/europeans looking for this kind of experience, which makes me think this can be more a kind of trendy activity for adventurous and wealthy people than a medicine, but of course I can be wrong. Anyone?

[@juanefranco4569]

Locals do it too, it is very normalized. Normally not in these big and more expensive group ceremonies but as individual experiences with a shaman

[@jonpacer]

Too bad can't do this right now. Quarantine and all that.

[@robertr.k.4520]

You can do it at home with a sitter. Do a search on legal hallucinogenics on the internet and buy the two ingredients. Watch quite a few videos for safety and Brewing until you get to the right one. Somehow you will know. I am about to do the same thing.

[@Tomj2023]

How much does a trip like this cost ? Any advice anyone ? I would be travelling there from Ireland but more curious about what the retreat centre itself charge

[@MrRocksW]

It's legal in Spain as part of a religious ceremony. I am planning to do it in November. Look it up there are retreats advertised online.
