The Benefits of Ayahuasca Transcendence. It’s what we are all looking for. Whatever path we take, from spiritual exploration to materialism to giving ourselves in service to others, we are looking for a way to move past the mundane to a meaningful existence. Searching for a real purpose. Yearning to know, truly know that what we are engaged in on a day-to-day basis is an expression of our best selves. There are some from the forests of South America that say that ayahuasca can be the agent that takes you on that journey. The helping hand that shows you a universal perspective and guides you to your true purpose. Made from the leaves of the caapi plant, this brew can bring about intense reactions and psychedelic effects when ingested. While certain powers-that-be deem it to be dangerous and subversive, many believe that its healing properties can bring about clarity, calm and a sense of purpose to those that seek it. Before embarking on this particular vision quest, it makes sense to do as much research as possible. Starting with Ayahuasca’s Wikipedia page may seem a bit amatuer, but more information is always better. Brush up on the basics before delving into what proponents have to say. Ayahuasca also has a thorough set of resources to learn from. Its contents ranging from testimonials to literature on the science behind the healing vine to information on where and how the drug can be consumed legally. It is well known that first-timers and inexperienced ayahuasca drinkers should ingest in the presence of shamans, or teachers with significant experience guiding others on these trips. Be sure that you find reputable shamans to assist you and guide you if you want to take the plunge into ayahuasca. CNN commissioned a report on Americans visiting Peru and examined the medical benefits of the plant and its attendant ceremonies. Celebrities exploring psychedelic experiences is nothing new, but the relatively loose publishing rules on the Internet have led to many heartfelt and uncensored tales of ayahuasca trips being shared with the public. Mainstream media in years past probably would not have been so open to these sorts of stories. Comedian and podcaster Pete Holmes is a proponent of spiritual exploration. Frequent guests have gone on the record about their experiences with psychedelics. Actress Deanna Russo details her ayahuasca trip on an episode of You Made It Weird, Holmes’s podcast, sharing intimate details of her physiological reaction, visions and encounters with her helpers that guided her and her boyfriend on their trips. The tale is free from proselytizing or overwrought descriptions of religious conversions. If you are at all on the fence about taking the leap, listening to Russo’s story can be eye-opening. Vice, the hip and culture-dominating Brooklyn media brand, has a first-person account of an ayahuasca experience in Berlin. The author writes of the physical preparations and digestive adventures he deals with on his trip, but also revels in the anxiety reduction and overall amazing feeling that he received post-ayahuasca. One quote from the story compares an ayahuasca session to 10 years on a psychiatrist’s couch. But you shouldn’t have to take other people’s word for it. Experiencing the mind-expanding and spirit-soaring benefits of ayahuasca should be a safe and personal choice that you explore at your own pace and on your own time. You need to make the call after thorough research, personal exploration and with the guidance of a holistic company that puts your well-being at the top of the list.
