Ayuascha Ceremony – Day 11



Carlos my shaman arrived at the end of day 10 and was a surprise to me – he is young, good looking and from Columbia!  There was me thinking that I would have some old mad man from the jungle!  Carlos must have been born a shaman or something, he can't be older than 30.

So we chatted for a while about why I wanted to take the Ayuascha – I think he wants to make sure its not just because I want a hallucinogenic high!  Once he started talking about how Ayauscha gives from the heart so I need to open my heart I knew this was the right thing for me. It was amazing to hear Carlos say that is how Ayuascha works – he also referred to her as SHE a lot, I like that too.  The Master Plant is a female – that is just right.

Carlos talked about Ayauscha knowing how much to show me and teach me – he said She will know exactly what I need, I don’t need to ask.

We also talk about how it is tradition in Peru to have the ceremony in the dark but in Colombia they  do it in the morning – he recommends that I do the ceremony in the morning rather than at night.  To be honest I had been up since 5am so the thought of a 4 or 5 hour ceremony in the dark with the mozzy bastards didn’t really appeal and the thought of having a good nights sleep and being able to see the mozzy bastards coming while I have the ceremony seemed like a really good one so we decided to meet at 7.30am – no breakfast for me, just tea.  I wonder if that’s in case I puke my guts up.  Anyway more info to come after the ceremony….


You will all be pleased to hear I made it back!  Drinking the Ayuascha was the easy bit – the rest of it was the hardest thing I have ever done in this life or any of my other lives – it was weird, horrifying, scary, tough, hard and emotional but also beautiful, amazing, brilliant, fantastic and peaceful.   There really are no words to describe, in fact, there aren’t enough words to be able to tell the experience I have just spent the last 5 hours having.

Did I get my questions answered?  - YES!  My reason for being here and having been here so many times is one really simple lesson I have to learn – its so simple its stupid that I have been here so many times and not learnt it – so from now onward I am out to learn my lesson and once done I can head off into Enlightenment but for now I will enjoy the lesson learning.

Carlos was right that She knew exactly what I needed to see – She knew not to show me too many demons as I wouldn’t have coped but I saw enough of the demons to know what I have to deal with in my next ceremony.

I am so pleased that I had my ceremony in daylight – it would have been horrific to have gone through what I had to in the dark – I really reached out to the trees, the plants and the sun – they really helped me through it all.  Thank you to all the trees, the plants and the sun for being my protector and my support (and bizarrely to my wee dead spider friend that sat through the whole process with me!)

I am also really pleased that the Ceremony was just for me – I have no idea how I would have managed if there were other people going through the experience.  I really was inside my own head and was able to do whatever I needed to do
 to get me through.

Would I do it again?  ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!

I feel refreshed and revitalized ready for the rest of my journey (life journey not trip journey!)

Sorry not to be able to give more but if you want to know more you will need to come to the Amazon Jungle and drink the Master Plant – now I know why she is called the Master Plant – thank you to this amazing plant and thank you to Carlos for looking after me so well.  AMAZING….
