RE: How Ayahuasca Changed My Life (And Gave Me The Balls To Do The Craziest, Most Courageous, Romantic Thing Of My Life)...
Been wanting to do this medicine myself, have an inner calling, I think it is exactly what I need. Thanks for more insight one or two thimgs i never knew about it. especially that you could do it on Vancouver Island. I am In Canada myself.
your welcome, Keith.
if she's been calling, it may only be a matter of time until the opportunity presents itself. there's quite a few medicine circles hidden around here & there, so might not be so far from you...
it's a VERY intensive experience, not to be taken lightly. make sure to put alot of prep into your intentions, and take the 1-2 weeks of preparatory measures seriously (specific diet, abstinence from alcohol, drugs, sex).
also make sure to meet whoever is leading the ceremony and make sure you are comfortable with them. ayahuasca has become something of a fad these past years and alot of people are hosting without really knowing what they're doing or holding proper respect for the medicine.
(which reminds me of a satire video on it, which I actually felt kinda strongly about due to the mockery and lack of respect of the medicine and culture behind it within the video - however, it does present some funny views and points worth considering:)
VERY borderline. don't take too seriously.
partaking in ceremony with a someone well-initiated into the culture with years of experience is undoubtedly a game-changer, though... :-)
Where you begin and end with your language says a lot. I appreciate your judicious use of words here.
The note you added above is also much appreciated, and worth repeating:
I don't think I can watch that video right now, maybe I'll be in the mood to have a laugh~cry later though.
Your whole story was beautifully written, and was an inspiration to read.
I'm glad you shared it here.
