Exploring the missing piece in psychedelic integration and how a structured Four Planes approach can help reveal what is actually unresolved.Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTVinayhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/still-the-same-after-ayahuascahttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/still-the-same-after-ayahuascaIf your ayahuasca experience was real but nothing actually changed, you're not alone — and it's not about readiness.

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.Mon, 29 Apr 2019 00:00:00 GMTVinayhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/ayahuasca-and-spiritualityhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/ayahuasca-and-spiritualityWhat 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.Thu, 18 Apr 2019 00:00:00 GMTVinayhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/the-long-term-effects-of-drinking-ayahuascahttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/the-long-term-effects-of-drinking-ayahuascaAccording 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.Fri, 12 Apr 2019 00:00:00 GMTVinayhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/ayahuasca-and-ego-deathhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/ayahuasca-and-ego-deathIt'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.Wed, 03 Apr 2019 00:00:00 GMTVinayhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/best-ayahuasca-documentaries-that-portray-healinghttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/best-ayahuasca-documentaries-that-portray-healingToo many ayahuasca documentaries don't really get the 'healing' message across in a way that is effective.

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.Sun, 31 Mar 2019 00:00:00 GMTVinayhttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/ayahuasca-trip-experience-2500-words-on-my-second-triphttps://alwaysbereiki.com/blog/ayahuasca-trip-experience-2500-words-on-my-second-tripI 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.Tue, 26 Feb 2019 00:00:00 GMTVinay
