I haven't had ayahuasca but I suppose it's the same as with any mind-altering drug: don't take it for recreational purposes but for spiritual purposes. Take it if you're willing to suffer through mental work in order to gain an expanded view of yourself and how you fit into the universe. If you want it because you want to have fun, escape stress or trauma, or fix something, then don't.
- mgmeyers 12y agoWhile I mostly agree, ayahuasca is particularly good at helping you (sometimes forcing you) to work through stress and trauma, and helping you fix things. It allows you to observe your memories (in vivid detail) as a third party and guides you through them. There are many accounts of rape survivors, veterans, and other PTSD sufferers finally being able to let go after taking ayahuasca.
- cnp 12y agoThe way it works on the memory is totally phenomenal. I liken it to clicking through folders on your computer; you jump in, explore in great detail a space that seems so familiar, then go deeper into other folders. When you're done you jump out and can't quite remember exactly what you saw, but the experience stays with you as though the work you needed to do had been done. In my minds eye I even had a crazy software-like environment playing out as I explored. Its so so wild.
