Read articleStill the Same After Ayahuasca? Why "You Weren't Ready" Isn't the Answer
If your ayahuasca experience was real but nothing actually changed, you're not alone — and it's not about readiness. Here's why the usual integration advice falls short, and what a Four Planes mapping session does differently.

Read articleAyahuasca integration lessons: It's a tricky business
I think this post will be useful for those trying to understand what integration post ayahuasca might be like for them. Ayahuasca integration is not only about concreting the lessons you have learned into your life afterwards, but also about integrating yourself back into a world which now might be seen through different eyes. Very different eyes in my case. In this post I'll talk about my own stories of integration and how I understand the world after meeting spirits.

Read articleAyahuasca and Spirituality: Anecdotes, Science and Buddhism
What does drinking Ayahuasca have to do with spirituality? Anecdotally it feels like a very special experience, like you're in the presence of something great and wise (but without the ego) but also scientific studies have been done which put Ayahuasca experiences at the same level as Catholicism with respect to spiritual value to participants. We'll also look at how Buddhism, a spiritual practice, overlaps with psychedelic experiences in general.

Read articleThe long term effects of drinking Ayahuasca (DMT): GOOD NEWS
According to one scientific study, ayahuasca helped reduce depression and stress significantly and that these changes persisted for 4 weeks after ceremony. The study goes on to mention other benefits in terms of how peoples' thinking is changed and we also talk about some other related information like, how DMT is produced naturally in the body, historical use of ayahuasca, the danger of psychosis, ayahuasca's LD50, long term psychological effects and the number of ceremonies people have.

Read articleAyahuasca & Ego Death: fun and games til someone loses an I
It's slippery, but in this article I define Ego as an intermediary between the real world and other parts of your psyche and talk about how psychedelics interact with the ego from a scientific and an anecdotal (my Ayahuasca experiences) point of view. I also touch on a few other Egoic themed questions I've seen floating around the net.

Too many ayahuasca documentaries don't really get the 'healing' message across in a way that is effective. In this post I want to show you the best documentaries I've found that help to convey the healing potential of Ayahuasca.

Read articleKentucky Ayahuasca: What can we learn from this Vice Series
Kentucky Ayahuasca is a useful insight in what Ayahuasca can do for people. The way it describes the narratives of the people attending is great as it highlights a yet unseen (by me at least) look into what drives people to do Ayahuasca.

Read articleWhat is an Ayahuasca Trip Like?
I was given a UI (User Interface) to help me organize my life, had life long stress and negative thought patterns reduced. I saw Demons, the depression in someone close to me (as a weird spikey starfish) and pixelated energies all around me. On top of describing what I saw in my visions and learned I will also talk about how I have gone with integrating my intentions in the following 6 months after the ceremony.
