What to Expect When Drinking Ayahuasca and How to Handle it.
Drinking Ayahuasca can be a profound, life-changing experience which will open your mind to the limitless possibilities of consciousness.
It may also propel vomit from the depths of your soul and precipitate bowel movements which begin at the top of your head and surge through your entire body, cleansing every last inch of your intestinal tract into the pan.
This guide will help you deal with the best and worst parts of the experience, if you’re drinking this foul, thick brown liquid for the first time.
“At a lower dose, I stepped outside of myself to watch my ego dissolve and the concept of ‘I’ disappeared. A bath of nebulous light emanated from indistinguishable ethereal sources, regardless of whether my eyes were open or closed. I met Mother Ayahuasca, saw a baby angel being cradled by spirits and was offered mysterious gifts of love by various unidentifiable angelic entities.“

Ayahuasca is a purgative psychedelic plant medicine used by indigenous people of the Amazon basin. Its origin is undocumented, however every family, town or shaman will tell you with absolute certainty, a story of its discovery.
Used as jungle medicine for possibly thousands of years, privileged tourists can now drink the medicine under guidance of a shaman to give our brains a full degrease and steam clean.
If you are ideologically opposed to paying to participate in a commercial Ayahuasca ceremony provided for tourists, I suggest you stop reading and revert to your own native, indigenous medicines, whatever they might be.
Produced by cooking crushed ayahuasca vine with chacruna leaves, the resultant bitter brown liquid becomes imbued Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the psychoactive compound in Ayahuasca.
