Thanks for sharing. I've had a few aya journeys, but the doses were spread out and I never had full visions - though I did leave my body once. It changed the course of my life for the better, and the insights I had are still with me today. Its a very powerful medicine, and should be taken only in that context in my opinion.

I'd say I had an overwhelmingly positive experience, even if it came along with a few scares along the way. I count myself lucky though because I read on erowid's experience reporter that a few people had major freak outs that have been badly influencing them. I wonder if they just let go, which seems almost like a pre-requisite with Ayahuasca.

Cool story, sounds like a great experience. You ever read or hear the Ayahuasca monologues? A lot of great tales surrounding this amazing substance.

dood you dont know how badly I want this. I want to try it with a Shaman for my first time, like you did. The only problem is how do I even go about doing that? Where do I even search to find Shamans that will give me a guided trip?

Around this time of year, a year ago, I was an atheist who had a hard time in my life, and had little hope left, so to speak. I had a lot of problems, and a lot of sadness in my spirit. I was borderline suicidal, and had nothing but depressing thoughts all day.

So I decided to go with my friend Daniel to Peru as part of a winter vacation trip, mostly to visit his family with him as he invited me, but because I knew it'd be a good time to go on one of those "rain forest shaman" experiences that I always heard about people going on, or something out of a Carlos Castaneda text.
I didn't believe all the spirituality that accompanied such things, and regarded it merely as superstition. nonetheless, I wanted to take ayahuasca because I heard it can inspire the most amazing feelings of euphoria and wanted to feel "connected", and had little to lose at the time, so I went for it anyways.

The cool thing about it was, I didn't have to seek a "commercial shaman", as my friend was connected with a local who'd watch over both of us for free. so we went to a small town close to the Ecuadorian border where his family lived, and after some hellos and some greetings to his family and thanks for the hospitality, (and some major depression on my part for feeling so alone, oddly as I was surrounded by kind people)we set off to visit the shaman the next morning around 5 AM.

by the time we got there 40 minutes later, I was wrought with anxiety and disturbance because I was afraid of "freaking out". my friend told me to relax, as this guy was a professional and probably done it more times than I'd ever be able to fit into a life time. so that eased my anxiety a bit.
The place was a small shack of sorts close to a stream, in a location that can only be described as breathtakingly beautiful. every bit of the scenery was amazing, but the nervousness still set in once more, as I knew the time of decision was fast approaching.

The Shaman was a short, brown man named Alonzo, who was wearing western clothing, of which I now feel stupid for expecting something more stereotypically "shamanic". very kind, soft spoken, and to the point, he said he had the brew prepared for us as soon as he got the call the day before we'd be visiting.

So to the carpet covered floor of the shack we went, me and Daniel, with our cups of a brown, reddish thick gruel, the consistency and color of red mud-clay mixed with water; He blessed us in spanish, and told us to drink.
I downed my quickly, and realized it didn't taste as bad as I read it had, being somewhat astringent and bitter, but not the nightmare scenario I read of. and then, Alonzo told us both to relax and enjoy the setting we were in, which I enjoyed, with the quaint Jesus picture on the wall and the statue of the virgen, I wonder what the catholic church thinks of that.

Alonzo started chanting and singing, playing a string instrument to accompany his vocals, just sitting there and reflecting.

within a short while (I honestly can't remember how long) I got the feeling one does when they have butterflies in their stomach, as if something was nervous and upsetting yet exciting, all at once. shortly thereafter, I felt like I had a stomach flu and needed to "purge" myself, badly. so I ran out of the shack and made sure to puke at least a good meter away from his walkway. Feeling much better, I walked back to the shack and sat against the wall, sweat dripping down my face.
Alonzo kept singing and said nothing, seemingly knowing that was going to happen. hell, he's been in the business long enough, he probably would've been alarmed if a first-time noob like me didn't need to purge. Daniel was completely still, but he had experienced this before so he probably knew his limit and his body's reactions.

I barely noticed that after I sat down, I was seeing "tracers" and moving swirly things in the corner of my eye. at first I just thought it was because I was dehydrated by vomiting, but after I had a sip of water from my bottle, they remained...

...and got stronger. quickly.

I felt really nervous, scared even, that this was happening so fast. that I was growing in psychedelic visions. I snapped my fingers and noticed the vibrations went down my arm; for some reason, this alarmed me, and then I realized how beautiful Alonzo's guitar/singing was; it was almost too beautiful, and this scared me a bit too.

Fearing panic, I tried to change the focus of my mind but to no avail. In fact, my "visions" started speeding up, and then I noticed my mind sort've "twisted" when I thought of what was going on: I started to hear colors and see noises, simultaneously terrifying and awesome.

I wanted to scream on the inside but realized no words came out of my mouth; the calmness of my companero and the serenity of the Shaman Alonzo didn't add to my ease, as I thought I was going crazy or something. I knew I was plateauing, though I had no idea how much time past. I began pacing back and forth; my friend remained stationary on the ground, in a leaning position.

Yet, something hit me along my road of fear: the shaman's voice, the singing, it let me know everything was going to be alright, that this world of visions and spirits, it was real. that the gods, who I previously did not believe, were beckoning me to put my trust in them. I saw the shaman singing his ancient prayers, and I had the most amazing chills run down my spine, instilling me with a confidence. the Shaman was beautiful, his life was beautiful: even in poverty, he still had more happiness than the world combined I thought at the time. and because he trusted in his creator which I forgot to do over a long period of time, paying attention to logic when the world isn't logical, attempting to place an empirical quantitative measurement on something that couldn't be measured.

I sat down, and embraced the feelings of "other worldliness", the disconnection with my physical body and embraced the lack of control I had over my vision. I let go, and had non stop spinal chills, pure visions, rainbow colors passing before my minds eye, even as my physical eyes remained closed and inattentive. There was nothing to be afraid of. all of creation was awaiting this experience and deliverance, and I was lucky to partake in it.

I lost track of my thoughts, thinking that my mind was "folding" then reopening again, embracing the fact that I am no different from the world around me, and all of it is the same, blessing the god(s) for what they have given me upon this earth. the rest of the trip was truly a miracle, and I saw dancing fractal purple ghosts that were friendly, and loving, and warm. they wanted to let me know everything would be safe, that even if I died, I'd be safely amongst the spirits after. it was weird and hard to describe but made sense at the time.

After what must've been a few hours (because it was well into mid day judging by the sun's position), I awoke slowly back into the material world, and felt the greatest, heaviest sleepiest calm I ever had. I felt nothing but warmth and happiness, despite the earlier chaotic fear and terror I felt earlier.

* * *

Reminiscing, I probably had a major minimizing of my depression due to the miracle of ayahuasca. I don't know exactly what is in it or what it was, but it was a dream come true for someone with major depression like me. the fear was terrifying, but I realize now that it was necessary, and that the fear was something I had to fight to learn to live with my own inner demons. I felt completely at peace. and to this day, when I'm sad, I think of my experiences. I hope everyone gets to try ayahuasca someday; it truly is a miracle, and can turn atheists into believers of the higher power.





Very nice.:thumbup:

depression seems to be our divinity saying "what the hell are you wasting your time for, find me !  "

if only it were that easy  it usually takes us months, years, etc, to really even get a foot up the hill to where we see the view and keep heading toward it till we get there ,

proof that kids need drugs, good drugs, and so go grownd ups, society must allow psychedelic perception , this is mandatory !

ayahuasca reminds me of when i was 4 -7 years old and i have not taken it , that is interesting if you think about it , like its waiting for me to be a portal back there at some point , the totality of the reality of dreaming with an intelligent synergy as opposed to "tripping" on things that are not quite so organized with fluid beauty

something poetic about our imagination
