It all started a little over six years ago when I first tried Ayahuasca. At the time of my first Ayahuasca ceremony , I didn’t feel like it had a big effect on me.
Before I tried ayahuasca for the first time, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression. My therapist had already recommended that I take it a few times because he thought it would help me.
So, from experience, I can say that when it’s time, it’s time. I did everything I could to mess up my arrival at the first ceremony. I left work late, didn’t organize transportation, and didn’t prepare myself at all.
But no matter how much pushback I put up against it, I still managed to make it there, follow the instructions, and take the ayahuasca.
After that, I think I slept the whole night. I listened to music in the background, and it was like a dream.
To be honest, I don’t recall if I purged. I don’t remember if I cried or if only my soul and body rested.I had this feeling to get up and get a drink, but I held back.I also felt the hours passing, and I continued to lie there not knowing when it would end.
The hours went by, and then—out of the blue—drums started up. I opened my eyes and got up, and there were women with long skirts and wild hair dancing around the fire. I thought, “How magical!”
I didn’t get up, though. It felt like I was in a groove with them, but I didn’t let myself join in.
You know, Ayahuasca really does the job in a mysterious and wise way. They say it separates the soul from the illness, and that’s exactly what it did for me. It was a slow process, and that was the beginning of it.
At the end of the ceremony, the facilitator said that if you’ve taken Ayahuasca once, you’ll probably take it again, maybe not in a month or a year, but one day you’ll come back for more.
I’m happy to say that, contrary to my initial expectations, I did come back. Almost a year later, I took it again, and six years later, I’m still walking with it.
