The Setting
It had been 6 months since I had last drank Ayahuasca. I had been blessed to know people who have trained in the art of brewing and working with the spirit of Ayahuasca. I had never visited the jungles of Amazon, but I know a person who has, and with him, I�ve been lucky enough to have to experiences in my home country, many times in a summer cabin in the middle of the woods, by a lake.
My friend contacts me. How about some healing session this weekend? I hesitated for a while. My friend suggested we do it the day after tomorrow. I was thinking of doing some LSD that weekend, like I had done the past two weekends. Just some slight introspection and maybe making music.
But Ayahuasca, now that�s a completely different thing. Back of my mind I had a memory of that first time, the roughest experience I�ve gone through in my whole life. It had burned itself into my retinas, the healing that happened that night was something so deep and in my face that I will never forget it. I let go a lot of darkness that night.
I said �sure, let�s say a pre-emptive yes�. He asked, �Maybe we can go the summer cabin?�. It was beginning of summer here in the northern parts of the world, plants starting to come alive and the sun was finally here. Why not, so we decided, let�s do it, it�s a New Moon on the weekend, we will drink then. Two days to prepare for Ayahuasca felt a little short, but I had this attitude that �I�ve done it before, I can take it�.
Preparation
On Saturday, we arrived at our summer cabin. We decided to drink during that night, Saturday to Sunday morning, with the new moon. Outside, with mattresses and blankets laid in front of the fireplace. Now, the first time I had contact with Ayahuasca, I wouldn�t call it drinking, because the mix was so light and it even barely worked, so I don�t count it. the first time I had contact with Ayahuasca, I wouldn�t call it drinking, because the mix was so light and it even barely worked, so I don�t count it.
