It goes without saying that the ego is petrified of ayahuasca. It fears both the unknown and loss of control, but ayahuasca requires that we relinquish control; doing so is the only way to objectify the ego and see its workings in action. It allows you to step back from it and see the constant taunts, reminders, narcissistic notions and fixations with the past or future.
Ayahuasca makes it undeniably clear that we are holding ourselves back from being in the places we want to be; at the same time it cuts through the fantasies we harbour and helps us to see how pointless so many of our preoccupations are. It filters out the negative and offers you a choice.
Do you want to be ruled by your ego, fears and trivial concerns, or do you want to be brutally honest with yourself? Do you want to admit to and deal with your issues so that you can move past your blockages in life? If you have the guts – and serious guts it takes – to choose the latter, the rewards are huge. The voice of ayahuasca is unmistakable and the wisdom imparted profound. However, occasionally the ego is so strong that even the plants lose the battle with it.
Ayahuasca requires that you not only purge psychologically (crying, laughing, shouting, sighing, even raging) but physically too. This part is often really puts people off trying it: vomiting and diarrhea don’t occur for everyone but they are certainly a possibility
The sacred medicine Ayahuasca in Quechua means “rope of death”. This is a reference to the death of negativity as an opportunity for the rebirth of positivity. The plant has been used as part of Inca cultures throughout the Amazonian basin. Our practice here at Etnikas combines Shipibo cultural rituals, including the icaros chanting, with other ceremonies derived from the cultures of the high Andean mountains. It allows people to open their eyes to the majestic Pachamama, to celebrate and be grateful to her with an open mind and heart. The purpose of the ceremony is to find an alignment between the individual, Wiracocha (God) and Pachamama. This alignment allows one to understand the importance of living in harmony with, as opposed to dominance over, nature.
Ayahuasca medicine is used to treat PTSD, Anxiety, Depression and Addiction. Ayahuasca is an ancient ancestral medicine used by the Incas throughout the Andean Communities for hundreds of years.
Ayahuasca and other plant medicines offer a level of knowledge and power that should be accessed only in the right environment and with the right preparation beforehand, and support during and after the experience. These medicines are far from recreational, and must be treated with the utmost respect and care.
At Antares Amazon Lodge, we make sure our guests feel prepared and taken care of, from the moment they register for a retreat with us, through their whole experience and for months afterwards. Explore each section below to understand the process of working with the medicines, and how we help you have the most fulfilling and transformative experience on your healing journey.
PREPARING YOUR SPIRIT
We highly recommend taking the time to prepare your mental and spiritual bodies, in addition to your physical. This may include meditation, yoga, art or dance classes before your retreat. Anything that connects you with your own self, so that you get a deeper understanding of what you truly wish to accomplish during your stay with us.
A close friend of ours once said that many people come to do Ayahuasca thinking they know what their intentions are.. However, upon meditating on the subject, they often realize that their intentions are a bit superficial and what they truly need to work on lies on more of a spiritual/soul level. Ayahuasca works with your subconscious mind and will help you see what truly matters.
We recommend focusing on things which raise your energetic vibrations.
AYAHUASCA DIETA
Its important to stick to the Ayahuasca Dieta for as long as you can before your Ayahuasca ceremony. As the medicine will try to clean your body out first before you can receive some of the deeper more powerful healing teachings.
To put it bluntly, if you eat a lot of junk and unhealthy food, you will be doing a lot of extra purging, and who wants that? Also, by abstaining to the Dieta you are showing your commitment and determination to heal with Ayahuasca and the other master plants, its a sacrifice, and shows them the respect and dedication you wish to have during your healing process, which is essential for this work.
