Has anyone tried ayahuasca or any other ceremonial medicines?

[dysrhythmicheart]

I'm looking to register for a ceremony

[MORPHEUS_12]

I don't mean to be rude but I Googled "Mother Aya" and all sorts of retreats come up from the US, Quintana Roo, Mexico to Peru.

Mother Aya Retreats

[dysrhythmicheart]

I'm wondering about people's experiences. Found 2 Churches that do them in the Southwestern US. Those retreats you linked are beautiful. Watching videos. I research like crazy

[Wise4myage]

Not yet, but I have read a book on the subject. People say it change their lives.

[dysrhythmicheart]

I have read the same. And now it is being researched for things like depression and PTSD. Like other DMT producing substances

[Shamalien]

Shrooms and salvia. Not the same thing as ayahuasca but similar.

[dysrhythmicheart]

How was shrooms? I have never heard of salvia

[Shamalien]

Life changing…never the same after that. I was 15 and did it in a busy area, which is not recommended. A private property with some nice nature would be ideal

[dysrhythmicheart]

"Life changing"😊 I have heard the same about doing it in nature.

[dolemite89]

I've done dmt many times and all i can say is it’s not for the weak minded

[dysrhythmicheart]

How so? I have never done any form of dmt

[dolemite89]

it’s ungodly stronger than shrooms or acid

[genericname85]

just get some lsd. same shit but easier to get. and you don't have to book a shaman in some other country.

[NathanDavis]

nope... I don't do drugs

[dysrhythmicheart]

Not exactly the same as getting high in the basement with a bong but thanks for the reply

[NathanDavis]

I did not say it was...

and by the way... are you actually a member of a tribe and are you due to participate in these sacred ritual and ceremonies that have been practiced for centuries by ancient cultures

or are you just booking it at some California trendy site that offers these experiences to white people and celebrities that are feeling a bit edgy and curious?

[dysrhythmicheart]

I'm not doing it to be trendy. I want a spiritual experience and to improve depression and my mind set in general. I have heard about ayahuasca in my travels. I'm not white. I'm not taking this lightly. So just gathering info bc I have never done anything like this. Shit. I barely drink alcohol

[NathanDavis]

well... there is no much of spiritual experience, they will just hit you with some leaves while they drug you legally or illegally

and if you have never been drunk or high with other drugs... then this one is going to make you freak out big big time, not only that... it can also make you lose control of your bowels, and vomit out of control and many other crazy things... that yes, perhaps you will think that both jesus and satan are ripping you apart to see who gets you to heaven or hell

as for the clinical approach... if you have been prescribed drugs before, just make sure you that they do not have bad interactions with DMT

and if you have had manic episodes before, also be very careful before you get high with this trendy-fetishized drug

[dysrhythmicheart]

I have done the research. I have a medical background. I know what precautions to take. I'm not bipolar or psych. The groups eliminate those candidates if they actually tell the truth. You have to sign a medical form and informed consent. I will also be fasting. And I'm not on any meds. You are supposed to go in with a. clean mind and body. It's not for everyone. Especially if you have a negative. bias

[dysrhythmicheart]

But. Thank you for your input

[NathanDavis]

well... careful with the snakes

[dysrhythmicheart]

Will do
