I Got Bitten At An Ayahuasca Retreat (The Reality Of Ayahuasca Experiences)

The burning question, is ayahuasca safe? Ayahuasca experiences, we venture out of our homes and embark towards ayahuasca retreats in the hopes of having a healing experience. But sometimes these ayahuasca experiences don't go as planned. After experiencing the plant medicine we can often leave a retreat troubled after going through a bad and or confusing experience. So in this video I'll explain what's real from imaginary, as well as safety concerns pertaining to an ayahuasca trip. I'll use my ayahuasca stories as well as those who I've accompanied along the way.
You don't hear many bad ayahuasca experiences nowadays but the ayahuasca dangers should be considered as realistically as possible. Its not a good idea to ignore the negative aspects of an ayahuasca journey. Stay safe and make wise decisions especially when choosing an ayahuasca retreat.

Im a mortician. About a year ago I took care of a 17 year old girl who died in a car accident. I had to meet her family as well. During my ayahuasca ceremony I turned into her mom, and I was looking down at her daughter who died. I think I sobbed for hours. I was helping her heal

[@debraharvey6872]

Wow! I Love that! How Amazing 💜

[@quantumfx2677]

There was a old radio show from the year 2000 called news for the soul, I don't remember the guys name but he Made a few appearances every so often as a guest, He holds ayahuasca retreats in Puru, He told the story of a lady who broke her hip before her trip to go take the ayahuasca, she was on crutches and Dr told her no way you can go it's going to take a few months to heal, The ladies daughter fought with her and told her she can't even barely walk, She said I waited a year for this and I don't care I'm going! Well couple of shamans carried her and placed her under a tree and during experience she saw 7 beings of light come to her purging her hip with their hands and left, after her experience she could walk and no more crutches when she got back from her trip the doctor couldn't believe it, He had the X-rays of her hip being broken and the new X-rays showed Nothing, zero broken or cracks in her hip. It was as if she had never even broke it. Unexplained to science but documented experience that everyone should know about. Right in your face evidence that you are more than your physical body and these experiences are real!

WoW 🤩 thanks for sharing this beautiful message to us all. Never heard it like this before. Very interesting. I know since I’ve been battling severe PTSD after I died in an accident many years ago that spirit was bombarding me with messages and synchronicity’s guiding me to do this for this condition that is so hard to heal and I say that as a great healer saving lives for many years for free. PTSD is a tough one.

Did Ayahuasca for 1 night only and it was the most beautiful magical experience ever. So much love and incredible. Just epic, words just cant describe it. No fear whatsoever. I sent mental love bubbles to those around me who were going through it.

[@_AvgWellInformedCitizen]

Ryan, I’ve been waiting years to hear a testimonial like this. It happens more often than anyone is willing to admit. Actually, the original shamans who conducted the ayahuasca rituals before it became popular were practitioners of the LEFT HAND PATH. This is a fact that is largely ignored. Only in the last 40 years were there positive shaman conducting rituals with an interest to protect the initiates, because that really wasn’t what it was about at all. Another thought. You’re absolutely correct that western influences attenuate a shaman’s spiritual authority, it attenuates everything including our natural Psi power. Thank you for mentioning this. Thank you for reading. And much Much LOVE ✊🏼

[@mercuryfillings8576]

What's the left hand pa

[@hentaimage95]

The left hand path is ripe with psychos, but not as much as the right hand one. Not surprised by all the negative feedbacks regarding these ceremonies, these people participating are really hurting thenselves.

This was such a great video for me to watch to comprehend the true essence of a full aya ceremony. Thank you, love seeing your consistency with showing up and to the inner work.

[@JulianaInfurna]

Solution: learn how to work with Ayahuasca at the safety of your home, you alone with your spiritual guides. Become your own shaman. The energy is too dense collectively to participate in group ceremonies. Amazing video!

[@serpentlady4551]

I agree wholeheartedly with this!

[@303TAG303]

[@sonyvalencia]

​@303TAG303 Exactly, I would just do it alone but where can I get it.

[@999yemy]

Yes I agree; I think if we pay a close trusted family member or friend to watch over you it’s safer that way.

[@TehPompkinHead]

The beard looks great Ryan! Thanks for sharing your stories.

[@serpentlady4551]

I would absolutely never do ayahuasca or any other potent plant medicine at a retreat with a load of people who had not sorted their issues out (spiritual bypassing is rife with the types who attend them)- I can't imagine anything worse that tripping with a load of people puking, crying and freaking out all around me. Sounds like Hell! And yes, absolutely; entities! And they can stay with you too. I prefer to take any sacrament alone but I have dealt with my darkness so it is no issue for me.

[@Elen-op4hl]

I feel you , I wanna try ayahuasca at some point but I am not sure about it for the exact reasons you mentioned. I prefer tripping alone cause I can got deeper within myself and not have to worry about getting affected by other people's energy.

Love this video and how it focuses on the relational aspects! I think I’m pretty sensitive to psychedelics, I can have experiences like you described while just on mushrooms, sometimes just super high or in hypnogogic states. I haven’t seen your videos in quite some time, I hope you’ve been doing well!

[@mightysavage459]

The majority of the real Shamans aren't as easy to find as they appear to be lately. It normally takes over a year in the forest alone to become one through a series of trials. Nowadays, everyone and their grandmother are now Shamans. It's imperative that you know their path to becoming who they claim to be and also, some of those that did go through the rite of passage has lost their way and distorting their clients because they are not as centered as they need to be to keep the space clean of negative energies and influences that will corrupt the experience for people.

[@roaldkala]

I 100% understand this frustration. It took me a while to consider calling myself a facilitator. And while I'd agree anyone has access to their own inner shaman or higher self we are too often less than truthful to which degree we have embodied this. It's a difficult issue since I don't think there should be a super restrictive path to becoming involved in facilitating. Nor should it ever be culturally locked in to just shamanism or any path. Rather I would suggest discernment. My rule is that I look for the capacity of unconditional love without any personal narrative. That's the central quality of any good ceremony. An unconditional loving space undistorted by ones own luggage. Next would be skills like empathy, intuition and protection. Another great one is a high degree of discernment. Discernment is a quality one only starts to deeply develop when one is already unattached from judgement. If one is able to look at, hold and state what is without triggering any cognitive dissonance, it is a tell tale sign of a great guide. Also presence is a great quality to look for. TLDR look for these three qualities: - Unconditional Love - Discernment - Presence

[@KimLaCapria]

seeing this video today seems like a synchronicity- yesterday in a zoom it came up, and i talked about my last-minute decision to stay for the second night, and i said if i hadn't, i wouldn't have received the message properly nor could i have integrated it. this is such a good video so far and i'm only 2 minutes in :)

[@Xanexz]

In my fist experience I remember • I tried to vomit but couldn’t and also was ashamed to do so •I saw everybody including myself as literal monkeys, in our daily life it’s hard to really see it, but there it was the same as me entering the body of a fish or any animal, it’s was very apparent, and I noticed everybody’s eyes were kinda swollen, idk if it was because of the trip or if it’s an effect ayahuasca causes to the body at the moment •I could only see stuff when I closed my eyes, when I opened all I could see was just some movement if I focused on the floor, like some lines, but very imperceptible, but after closing my eyes it’s as if the body isn’t there and you go fully inside yourself •At a moment I was in a all white place, not a closed place, it was just all white. There I saw a Orchid like being, literally the Orchid plant, it was floating looking at me then there was more, all floating looking at me, maybe 7-8 •I remember the noise around me, it’s very weird, a lot of coughing, yawning noises, crying, that’s why people say to not look around too much, it’s kinda weird, the faces and everybody looks not that good, but that doesn’t affect me a lot so it didn’t matter •They say you gotta sing and always keep singing, at a moment it just gets impossible to sing, even more when you don’t know the lyrics to any of the songs lol, you just wanna experience whatever comes to you, and there’s a lot of rules, like not going far or even standing, in the middle of the experience I just felt it was all just mind bs, the same as “you gotta sit in lotus position to meditate properly”, that’s just another limit the mind loves to set •all I said isn’t in chronological order by the way, another thing I remember was to be floating around an all white, golden and maybe even other colors place, it wasn’t open like the place I saw the orchid beings, there were pillars in concave shapes made of the white colors too, like clouds, idk exactly, I just know I was floating around there very freely, at some moment there I saw an image of the face of my mother, I was seeing her as a very loving monkey, and this memory was as if I were out in the infinite universe and I was seeing a very tiny tiny memory that I was completely detached from •I tried to cry or feel any bad feelings but I couldn’t, just good feelings, and the trip at first isn’t very chaotic, if I wanted to see a forest and trees, I would see it, I was expecting to see beings too, but I didn’t expect it to be Orchids 😅 I’m Brazilian so it was in Brazil by the way, not in any indigenous place, but in the middle of a forest, there were like 30 people or more in the group, half women half men, in “Florianópolis, Santa Catarina”, it was before my 18yo birthday, now I’m 19yo almost 20. Nowadays I don’t try to experience anything by taking any drugs or medicine, I feel like when we do that we can experience some things but you’ll always come back to your normal self, what I want is to experience it without using anything at all, just me and the pathless path, for me if I don’t experience it while being sober, it doesn’t count, to be illuminated we gotta do it raw. I did let, me the ego speak, now I’m gonna vanish and let, what I know doesn’t have a name but I call “it” awareness, be free again, see ya❤️

[@STR4nG3boy]

The question is not whether it's real or not, but whether we choose to believe in it or not. If we truly believe in something, not trying our best but truly "knowing"... there's no difference. If you start your day by believing it'll be a shitty day, you'll probably have a shitty day. But if you get up in the morning, feeling energized and ready because you know in your heart this day will be a wonderful one, your subconscious will direct you accordingly

[@lkgLukeS]

Yes, Soul Quest still does a great job of making everyone feel safe! They make sure to always have at least one facilitator present at all time with people during the ceremonies. One time someone started yelling and diaturbing the room the last time I went there and they were able to take her out of the room and calm her down. Great place to go in my opinion.

[@DeathTheCat79]

Man, kinda glad I just do my own ceremonies by myself. Being in such a huge group just sounds uncomfortable. To each their own though.

[@303TAG303]

you conduct your own ceremonies?

[@DeathTheCat79]

@303TAG303 yeah just personal ones for me. Make my own brew and had certain methods of chanting. I also use sweet grass too its quite nice.

[@Elen-op4hl]

Tripping alone is the way to go. You do them with ayahuasca?

[@DeathTheCat79]

@Elen-op4hl I'll do Aya, dmt, and mushroom ceremonies alone yeah. Not necessarily because it'd better just because of preference. It's enjoyable work!

[@deannab8890]

Aya is so difficult on the body I can’t imagine doing it two days in a row. The flipping of sleep schedule staying up all night, dehydration, weakness from low blood sugar from throwing up. I rest for 2-3 days after 1 ceremony to come back to normal. The ceremony is nothing words can describe but coming back to body is 💩

[@roaldkala]

I'd suggest more private ceremonies if you're having a hard time finding quality group ceremonies. I always look for these three qualities to assess any retreat or facilitator. - Unconditional Love - Discernment - Presence Also no force-fed narrative of any kind. They may be from any path or spiritual background as long as they're not trying to peddle it.

[@Sacredfreq]

I have to agree with you. It became too “commercialized “. It’s more about money and less about spiritual experience in most cases. You really have to know where the “real one “ is. I would Not join these type of circles. Not my cup of “tea”.

Two questions for you? It is my understand that we are living in a hollogram created by the Annunaki, Enki & Enlil involved during that timeline any insight into this? 2. Your video about 4 beings related to Karma. From what I understand there are 12-13 of these individuals which represent themselves as 12/13 wise man of Karma. However it is my understanding that they no longer exist in our hollogram and they were removed by a human of light. These were reptilians presenting themselves as something they weren't for the purpose of controlling the human race. It would be cool if the data matches multiple sources but I don't master astral travel yet. thanks

[@WoolandFlax]

There's actually a simplish answer to this. There is a spirit realm and it's full of deceiving spirits that tell people all kinds of lies mixed with a little truth to keep them distracted and confused and keep them from the one truth. And it seems you are wrapped up in one of those webs.

[@Divineone]

I’m not surprised

[@Angelvitanzo]

ayahuasca is a sacred type of plant medicine used for centuries. It's definitely not for everyone but it's not something bad. I call it therapy on steroids. you must be open and ready to receive the lesson. You must first learn bout the medicine, its history and how to properly use it. As a sacred medicine it is to be respected as such. Even the process of making the medicine is super important. The person making the medicine must be pure in spirit. they go through years of experience before these medicine men/women can share it. It's also about creating a safe space because in ceremony you re essentially opening up a portal to other realms. The medicine, space and participants must be well vetted and prepared. By taking all of these into consideration I can guarantee you a great profound even if challenging experience. I repeat, it is not for everyone. thankfully this world has many different modalities of healing , enlightenment , etc. find your own path and strengthen your own intuition. your inner compass. You are safe.

My understanding of participating in an aya experience is to understand how to use the emotional end product of the experience the person receives. It’s not about what happens in the experience rather what we do with the emotions we receive from the experience.

also why you say about the westernization of ayahuasca- is true. I haven't taken it - caveat - but I'm South American. You have to go to the indigenous shamans.The medicine men. The ones that are in community tribally in amazons or where ever you take it. Not some guy from Florida- who calls himself a shaman- anyway that would be my 2 cents.

The problem, as usual, is a Western importation of a sacred ancient practice. The sacredness can only get lost with Western processing. I think its a poor option given the amount of technologies available to the planet right now. I'd bet a 15 minute DMT trip would yield more benefits that a 4 day long 4th dimensional Ayahausca trip, but such things are complex and known only to God.
