Ayahuasca could easily help you to get away from that terrible stuff before it ruins you.

I have some nice plants going though, for the future.
How very true phalanx, how very true.Ayahuasca could easily help you to get away from that terrible stuff before it ruins you.
A couple of years ago Aya helped to show me how terrible my diet/lifestyle was, and how poorly I've treated my body in the past.
I have since lost about 50lbs. am fit, trim and eat mostly organic/all natural.
I am a much happier person now.
I am not saying that Aya will help you lose wieght, but that it helped me, No, told me, that the best thing I could do for myself was to change my diet/lifestyle and start taking care of myself.
I listened.

Welcome to the Ayahuasca Club, Grimblegrumble! Glad to hear Ayahuasca has worked so well for you. Which plants are you growing? I would like to grow some but I think my climate is too cold.
Another drinker I forgot to mention is DukeX. I don't know where he is now.

In what ways did drinking with a group in the jungle change the journey, compared to dosing at home?

On the plus side , I felt more comfortable drinking strong and large doses . I felt that if I got into a tough spot , the shaman would assist me . This happened the first night I drank in Iquitos . I left the circle and walked a little ways into the jungle to vomit in private . I was soon brought to my knees and began wretching violently in the weeds . The visions were accelerating pretty rapidly , along with the nausea , as I lay curled in the fetal position . Now , my hearing is pretty bad ( Doc says I need a hearing aid in both ears ) . I was far out of earshot of the group back in the clearing . Suddenly I could hear the shaman's singing icaro very clearly in my ears . It was as if he were right next to me . I felt somewhat better and made my way back to the others .
The three differant shaman's that I drank with all sang the most beautiful icaros on and off throughout the night . This really provided a type of bridge from this physical reality out into the visionary realms . It also provided a kind of lifeline back to the mothership , so to speak . It was also good to meet and drink with many of the folks over at Ayahuasca.com , so I didn't feel I was with all complete strangers . It was alot of fun meeting and chatting with Alan Shoemaker ( who always took the time to sit down and swap amazing ayahuasca tales with everyone ) . Another positive was being able to commune with Ayahuasca in her native homeland :the Amazon jungle . The jungle comes alive at night with a cacaphony of bizarre , other-worldly sounds eminating from her depths . A very ancient , mystical place .
The down side ? I found that I didn't enjoy drinking with large groups of people . I've always journeyed alone.... utilizing dark , quiet spaces to launch off from . Some of the groups were upwards of 30 people . It seemed as though someone was always contributing some auditory intrusion into the
session : channeled messages , singing , personal revelations , etc. ( Many times these sounds woud grab my attention , reel me back in , and cause the visions to stop ) . Sometimes my visions appear as if on the surface of a still pond . An interuption acts as a ripple that erases it . Sometimes they reform , sometimes not . I think that for me , small and respectful groups of no more than a handful of people would be best .
On a comical note : At home , I brew the two components seperately and drink each one slowly , sip by sip , sucking on a lemon drop in between sips . The whole procedure of imbibing the brew takes about one hour . I guess I just assumed that in Iquitos we would all be handed our cups of brew and then drink them at our own rate . Wrong ! The first night I panicked a bit when I saw that we were to approach the shaman , one by one , drink the whole glass down , and go back to our seats in the circle . Everyone seemed to be doing it easily , no problem ! I thought "Oh shit....I'm going to expose myself as a complete novice when I gag and throw up all over the shaman !!!" . Somehow though , with all the peer pressure , I managed to hold my own .

I would be the same. Thanks for the nice story. Its interesting that you were able to gulp down the brew and keep it down even though you prefer to drink slowly.

because i was trying to follow some advice
about eating buttered toast to kick up the trip a notch-
bad mistake for me.
now i'm back to just sipping apple juice to keep my blood sugar right
but nothing else.

Errr....sorry Hippie3. Looks like one man's meat is literally another man's poison. Toast works great for me. It only boosts the trip if it has been impeded for some reason. Maybe your trips roll along fine without any help, so toast may not make any difference to intensity. Mine often stall for various reasons.

Eating toast when feeling nauseous will just cause puking, although that in itself has made trips kick in for me. It can work great but doesnt guarantee anything. Its just a little trick that works sometimes, depending on the situation. Ayahuasca is such tricky stuff!
I regularly puke right up from my upper intestine, not just the stomach. It's no biggie. :-)
