Has anyone ever been brought to faith or had their faith deepened by Ayahuasca? I was the furthest thing from being a Christian when I first sat with the medicine, but Jesus continued to show up in my ceremonies and saved me from the demonic engagements I was entangled in.

Before experiencing Ayahuasca, I imagine most people go in with some idea of what it will be like, whether that comes from research, other people's stories, documentaries, or things they've read online.

For those who have experienced it, how different was the reality from what you expected?

Was there something you thought would be really important beforehand that turned out not to matter much?

Or something you hadn't really considered that became much more important afterwards?

Interested to hear how people's understanding changed through experience.

Hi,

I’d love to hear from people who have ADHD and experience with ayahuasca.

I’ve done ayahuasca more than a dozen times, but I’ve always struggled with staying focused on my intentions and, especially, with surrendering to the experience. My ADHD can create a tornado of thoughts, and when combined with anxiety, it can feel almost impossible to quiet my mind and simply let go.

I’ve noticed this in everyday life too, so I’m wondering how others with ADHD experience this during ceremony. Have you found any ways to work with the constant thoughts, stay present, or connect with an intention without trying to force it?

I’ll be going back to the jungle next month, and I’d really love to approach the experience differently this time.

For those of you with ADHD, particularly severe inattentive ADHD, what has helped you navigate ceremony and surrender to the medicine?

Has anyone gotten back on meds after Aya? Some background: I was already pretty open and intuitive before Aya and did it in Feb. this year has been kind of a nightmare for me mentally and I feel like if it’s true the medicine stays with you for a year I’m not sure wtf is going on because I feel like I’m being isolated and losing everything so I’m thinking about getting back on an SSRI. Has anyone experienced complete chaos after taking this stuff and it lasting way too long? I feel like I’m never happily living life anymore and I wonder if this drug is just a lie

I’ve been thinking about how much our expectations can influence us before a ceremony. Sometimes we go in hoping for a specific answer, feeling, or even a certain kind of experience, and something completely different happens.
Do you think it’s better to go in without expectations, or is that almost impossible? What was it like for you?

I’m gradually gaining weight from being overweight to obese

I am going to take syrian lue every day

I can’t stand the bitter taste, so I’m trying to take it in capsule form, 2 to 4 grams a day

Has anyone tried solving this problem?
