Testimonios de Ayahuasca en Cusco o experiencias con Ayahuasca en Cusco

First of all, I want to advise anyone who is interested in taking this magnifiscent Shamanic medicine, to inform yourself thoroughly about every product involved and mentioned in this text. I have heard about Ayahuasca quite a time before I started my travel and ever since have been curious. Nevertheless, I found AYAHUASCA RETREAT TEMPLE very spontaneously, while I was roaming around in the city of Cusco. I tried to inform myself before I got to Peru already, but was very confused by the load of different information on the internet. Thanks to Julien, who answered me every question in a very patient, knowing and non-persuasive manner, I finally found the sort of consistent answers I was looking for. My appointment was about 4 days after my encounter and since then I followed every advice AYAHUASCA RETREAT TEMPLE gave me. First of all, one has to follow a rather extensive manner a few days before and after the ceremony. The diet includes among other things: no coffee, no chocolate, no alcohol or other drugs, no red meat, little sugar, Little salt, in general less spices… It is crucial to inform yourself thoroughly at AYAHUASCA RETREAT TEMPLE or via other ways about what to not toe at, as some very conventional alimentations may turn into real poisons. Luckily, the staff of AYAHUASCA RETREAT TEMPLE is very prepared and more tan trustable to give you all the information you need. I registered myself for the regular group ceremony which only consists of the taking of volcanic water medical (agua volcánico) and, of course, the Ayahuasca itself. Agua volcánico is, in easy words, very salty water which helps you clean your body and therewith prepares it for the actual ceremony. In a lot of cases, it may lead to vomiting, but not necessarily has to. It definitely will lead to diahrrea, as its basically the sense of it. This basic program does not consist of the Shaman’s reading of coca leaves. The sense of this is for the Maestro to understand your inner well-being in order to guide you in an apropriate way. I am therefore very thankful to Johana, who has listened very patiently to me and what I myself considered to be inner problematic aspects. On the day of the ceremony Johana, Julien, Maestro Alberto, Diego (the second patient apart from me) and me took a taxi outside of the city on the countryside to a beautiful place at a river and between the mountains. The Maestro, Johana and Julien prepared the place. The put matrases, pillows, blankets and a tent for Diego and me to be comfortable. Afterwards, Maestro and Johana explained extensively the diferent instruments as well as herbal medicines, including but not exclusively, the Ayahuasca. Furthermore, they prepared us for some possible efects which may but should not scare us. Extreme, as well as rather rare, example is the feeling of being dying. From the three diferent Ayahuascas Alberto had brought, they chose on the spot which one suits us both best, as the all have different enfasises on their effects. For both of us, they chose the detoxicating one, as they saw a great need for us to find peace with our past. Afterwards, first me and then Diego were leadt to a small fire of Palos Santos, in order for us to be properly protected. And then, finally, first Diego and then me were passed a cup of Ayahuasca. Before taking it in, we should pray to the higher power we believe in, give thanks for this oportunity and express our desires. Anyone who hopes for something yummy, I have to herewith disapoint. Ayahuasca is not of a very pleasant taste. After drinking the cup all at once, we lay down. Initially, I did the mistake to excitetly wait for anything to happen, rather tan to just relax and let things happen at their time. As after a certain time still no effect was beginning to take place, I got offered a second cup. Johana told me, that it is quite common for people for example from Germany, Netherlands, France or Russia to need more than one cup, as their cultural identity has coined them and their unconciousness to be rather defensive on this kind of mind altering substances. The Maestro told me afterwards, that he could observe my body to be strongly fighting the spirit of the intaken substance. Myself I can say that at this time I mainly felt sick. My stomach ached a bit, the sun was burning my skin, I wanted to throw up, but couldn’t. Johana and the Maestro therefore seperated Diego and me and let us lie down at diferent places but in a certain way, as they explained afterwards, in order to support the connectivity. Shortly after this change of location, I finally was able to let myself go and shortly after as well vomited – which is very normal and even the most common. Already while vomiting, strong visual efects started. I am mainly talking about quickly changing perspectives and distances. When I lay down again, I felt warm and comfortable. I started to loose any feeling for my own body, couldn’t say if I had one, two or three hands, my head felt tiny, my hair incredibly long (and it’s not) my legs and arms as something I have never seen nor felt before. Johana afterwards explained to me, that this is something normal and represents. My testimonies ayahuasca was incredible and wonderful. One day I will return to take the medicine I recommend to choose the place AYAHUASCA RETREAT TEMPLE. More information in Ayahuasca tripadvisor cusco
