Ayahuasca massive

I can’t swing an incense stick at a wellbeing event without it hitting someone going on about ayahuasca. 🙂

In the last few months, I’ve been on wellbeing retreats, a Neuroscience seminar and a NLP/coaching workshop . At each one .. the hot topic of ayahuasca, has come up ..

When ayahuasca is described ….
-Achieving a higher state of consciousness (tuuuune)…..
-Out of body experience…
-spiritual dimensions …
…..Feck.. it sounds so damned alluring!

There are also some research/studies, indicating that it helps with addictions and depression.
I’m all for folks finding alternatives to the pills the big pharma peddle..,but research is early doors

However, I need to be mindful, that even though its ‘plant-based’….it’s still a mind-altering/psychoactive drug.

No doubt..that it can be a deeply profound, spiritual experience.
But…. it could also be bit terrifying and fecked up
I watched “metamorphosis” on youtube…jaysus!
Also Bruce Parry had attended a ceremony in his series in Tribe..
He was talking about visions of all his wrongdoing of the past.
Feck…I ruminated and bashed myself up over stuff ..for years…. Done with that

Some people react differently to substances. im gangsta tripping on a couple of red bulls
Personally , I think one bad ayahuasca experience could send me back to the posh madhouse.. is it really worth the risk.

I’ve experienced plenty of psychedelics in the Acid House scene.
Some of it was amazing… after a while…the “experiences” end up a bit fecked up. I vowed in 1993 never to take that stuff again.

Yet here I am 27 years on feeling a tad tempted. I mean there is always ‘:Microdosing”. Erm…I was a binger ..a caner… .who am I kidding.

My “journey”..(oh god) .has been rediscovering I can have fun.. feel good … damn.even a buzz..….without the use of mind-altering substances..
Sometimes there is transcendental shit going down.. :
This stuff

• Yoga
• Sound baths
• Shamanic drumming
• reiki
• Sober raves
• Standup comedy

I’ll be sticking with those for now..
