I did an Ayahuasca ceremony for New Years.
Here I'll share a bit of my insights:
About 25 minutes after drinking the brew, I started to feel nauseous.
I used a breathing technique like breath of fire, where I do several rapid breaths, to ease the nausea and prevent myself from purging too quickly.
Every time I do this, the medicine goes much deeper into the brain, because I didn't throw it up too soon.
It's interesting when this happens because I could actually see inside my brain, and feel the really deep blockages being released.
I keep a bunch of crystals next to my bed, so I intuitively grabbed one and put it to my third eye.
This is a nice way to communicate with the crystals, and receive whatever insights they carry.
One of the things I saw is that in the astral realm, I do the work of a grim reaper.
I carry souls to the next dimension when they pass away, just like a farmer harvesting crops when they ripen. I harvest souls when they're ready.
I do this, as well as many other things, in the astral realm when I sleep.
Once the medicine really started to kick in, I actually met Ayahuasca as three different people. They were all feminine spirits, but each one had its own personality.
I had a conversation with each one, and they helped me get to the root of my fears. And then we went even further, to the root of the root, and the root of that, and the root of that, as deeply as I needed to go.
I'm usually afraid to face my fears, but I was surprised at how easy and effortless it was to follow the chord as one continual string.
After about 2 hours I drank a second dose.
I don't know if this is obvious to most people, but it is incredibly important to take notes before, during, and after every ceremony.
This is not just for Aya, but any other ceremony as well.
It's become second nature for me to always have pen and paper nearby whenever I do ceremony.
In addition to writing down any important insights, I'll often receive more, and go even deeper into the insights, if I write it down in a journal.
There's always part 2, or even part 10 to what you're receiving, if you write it down or record it in some way.
For some reason that I can't explain, doing this stimulates a different part of the brain than just thinking about it.
Journaling will help you process everything more deeply.
This has been the case for me, so I suspect it may be the case for many others who haven't realized it yet.
At one moment during the ceremony, I intuitively started drawing some of the visuals I was seeing.
I also connected with some extra terrestrial entities on another planet.
I learned that often times if two beings are unable to connect (because they're a different species, or incompatible in some way), they can choose to create an avatar of themselves in another dimension, where they incarnate as the same species so they are able to connect with one another.
This is what you're seeing in several cases with "soul mates".
There may be one specific person who is a perfect match to you, because you both chose to incarnate here in order to become partners.
The two beings were unable to connect in their original state, so the two decided to incarnate in another dimension where their energy is more alike, and they could choose to become partners.
This ceremony was actually kind of light, and there were a few moments where it felt like nothing's happening.
I was reminded during those times that it may take a bit of intentional effort in order to get the ball rolling.
Aya doesn't always just talk and give you all the answers. I have to actually ask the questions, or use my mind to visualize something, and she will show me more once I produce my own momentum.
This isn't always the case, but if you ever find yourself stuck, and it seems like nothing's happening, she may actually be waiting for you to make the first move.
Her voice may be subtle enough that you only perceive it when you shake things up a bit, and allow her light to shimmer.
