Ayahuasca Experience Integration

• Connect with Nature: Immerse yourself in natural surroundings whenever possible. If you’re in an urban setting where the natural world feels distant, consider listening to recordings of jungle or nature sounds. These can be remarkably effective in recreating a sense of connection, allowing you to tune into your inner experience and recall moments from the retreat that you might have overlooked.

• Cultivate Mindfulness in Everyday Life: Practice being fully present and aware of your body, thoughts, and surroundings. This heightened state of consciousness can help you observe the ways you engage with the world around you, revealing opportunities for personal development and growth.

• Tune into Your Feelings and Intuition: This refers to a profound, corporeal form of understanding and intent that exists beyond thought. By aligning with this inner guidance, you’ll break free from the mental constructs that sustain your customary lifestyle, opening up to novel pathways. If direct intuition isn’t strongly felt, employing techniques such as “questioning all thoughts” and mindfulness can greatly assist in cultivating this connection.

• Incorporate Creativity into Your Life: Utilize the insights and tools you’ve garnered from your experience with plant medicine to explore innovative approaches to your actions and responses. This creative application not only enriches your personal growth but also allows you to live in closer alignment with the new perspectives and knowledge you’ve acquired.

Precautionary measures

The first time after the retreat, your psyche is pliable and open. This is a great time to introduce new experiences and change the material side of life. However, to avoid absorbing negative effects, take precautions:

• Try to avoid mass entertainment events, where the release of emotions occurs (stadiums, concerts, festivals, attractions, etc.). At such events you can lose most of the energy accumulated during the retreat. Take care of it, since your ability to realize and change directly depends on its presence.

• Try to avoid physical contact, at least in the first week, especially with strangers or unfamiliar people, in order to avoid a negative impact on your energy (touching, hugging, massages, etc.)
• Avoid toxic relationships

If after communicating with a person you feel tired or have discomfort in your body, rinse your hands or head with water, and if possible, take a shower, or use other practices to cleanse someone else’s energy.

If you have recurring unpleasant sensations after communicating with a specific person, reconsider your interaction with him, try to find and remove actions in which you lose energy / gain negativity.

If you can’t make the interaction constructive, consider ending it.

What to Avoid for Safety:

The influence of the plants you engaged with during the retreat will persist well beyond its conclusion. For at least two months following the retreat, it’s important to adhere to the following precautions for your safety and to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the plant medicine:

• Avoid consuming narcotic and psychoactive substances, as their effects can interfere with or contradict the healing process initiated by the Amazonian plants.
• Steer clear of other psychoactive plants; their interactions with Amazonian plants can be unpredictable and potentially incompatible.
• Before taking any pharmaceutical medications, consult with us to ensure they won’t adversely interact with the ayahuasca or other plants you encountered during the retreat.
• It’s also recommended to exclude pork and alcohol from your diet to support the cleansing and integration process.

At such events you can lose most of the energy accumulated during the retreat. Take care of it, since your ability to realize and change directly depends on its presence.

• Avoid group events where there is a possibility of influence on your psyche and energy. Be especially careful with esoteric movements. Especially with those where strong emotional states are cultivated (including “love”). In such groups, there is often a purposeful creation of an emotional attachment with the aim of creating psychological dependence on the group or its leader. Keep in mind that most movements with group events and practices have the ultimate goal of obtaining material and / or energy resources for those who are at their head, and you are now a “tidbit” for them due to the increased level of energy.
• Be selective and critical of information, especially advice and practices. If a conflict arises between information from outside and knowledge received from ayahuasca, try to remember the ayahuasca experience with your “body” – most likely you will notice that it is more in harmony with your well-being.

• Try to avoid physical contact, at least in the first week, especially with strangers or unfamiliar people, in order to avoid a negative impact on your energy (touching, hugging, massages, etc.)
• Avoid toxic relationships

If you can’t make the interaction constructive, consider ending it.

• Avoid overeating and a hectic sex life. The cleaner the body remains and the longer the quality of sexual energy is preserved, the longer the plants will reveal your facets.
• Avoid talking about your experience and about yourself in general. A new experience can still unfold for a long time, and stories about it will fix your image in the eyes of others and be perceived by your mind as a completed action. This can complicate the process, or even stop it altogether. Listen to the body – when, to whom and what information can be given.
• Avoid comparing people and yourself. You have not become better or smarter than others.
• Avoid excessive activity. After the retreat, you are filled with energy and it seems that you can move mountains. If you start taking on everything, helping everyone without keeping track of your “expenses,” then your tone will quickly subside, and it will become difficult to integrate your awareness and experience from the retreat into everyday life.
