I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve heard anyone talking about the importance of more meditation leading up to the ceremony. Everyone is so obsessed with the physical diet, and I understand that, but this is equally important in my opinion.
Oh my god! So a few months back I was feeling as if I'm getting a call from Ayahuasca, as it came in my dream, if I'm watching some documentary people mention it there , if I'm going through comment section..some people write "if you're reading this ,it's the sign that Ayahuasca is calling you." ...but eventually it stopped for a month or so..and today when I was scrolling through CZcams I just had a thought that I didn't get any signs about Ayahuasca...and WITHIN seconds this video popped up. Wow😶.... And this video is 2 years old from today's date.
So did you do it in the meantime?
I love ayahuasca! One of the best experiences of my life. I met the spirt of ayahuasca and she was very wise. I would recommend having extra energy when going to this Ceremony, the spirit will take hold of your body and it is a very physical experience. I felt Snakes crawling all over my body but wasn’t scary at all. I also meet other spirts, probably ancestral. It is a very magical holy experience. I hope to have the honor of experiencing her again. I never purged. Thank you for educating people on this beautiful spiritual experience.
Sounds amazing. Did you do any preparation before drinking ayahuasca?
Psilocybin is way more effective and readily available. I've done both numerous times and psilocybin is a much cleaner, more powerful, and more enjoyable experience :)
@@ShamanicSavant Seriously? Ive done psilocybin like 4 times in the past and only had bad trips on them. Very dark. I've learned a lot since then but I wouldn't do them again unless I get the chance very later on in life. I'm thinking about taking ayahuasca for my first time because I'm at the worst place mentally emotionally and physically and I wish spirit of ayahuasca can help me. I'm not afraid of the dark and turbulent sensations, I try to go deep in them everyday.
i guess it's kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online ?
@Marcellus Orlando Try flixzone. You can find it on google =)
I am actually doing my first ayahuasca experience really soon, it is a 3-day ceremony and I have poured through many ayahuasca experience videos on CZcams and I must say this is the first video I’ve came across that has thoroughly explained the true purpose of ayahuasca. She has eloquently explained the true use for ayahuasca. Watching this video has given me a lot of comfort because I have had a lot of anxiety as I get closer to ceremonial day. But now I feel courageous and I know Mother Aya is going to heal me!
Me too! Next Tuesday :)
How did it go?
Sophia how did it go?
Excellent video Christina, beautifully articulated. Intention is key to the ultimate experience one seeks. The ceremony is all about transcendence and the evolution of spirit, in both a personal and universal context. Thank you 🙏
Just did my 5th ayahuasca ceremony but did it solo. I highly recommend doing it solo with a facilitator before doing a group setting especially if you are sensitive!
This is probably the best video I’ve ever seen on the subject, and I have watched many videos over the last few years. I got turned onto this amazing woman this past winter, and I really appreciate what she is sharing with people here. Send this to my ex girlfriend, who I am still friends with, and she is going to go to Costa Rica to have 4 ceremonies.
Thank you. This is very thoughtful, mature, organized and thorough. I will incorporate your guidance with my work and journeying with the medicine.
your a wonderful communicator with wonderful information, good job!
Thank you Christina for the great information and sharing you experience 👍🏻🤗
I completely get you on the last part of this video. I started to learn about this ceremony a few months ago and from the first video my souls heavily gravitate towards this. The connection with planet earth is what I feel is my intention really. I seek that connection with nature. With my heart ♥️ and female energy in a way.
I will begin to meditate and prepare for it but most definitely it is in my bucket list for 2021. Thank you so much Christina. 11:11@432hz. Namaste 🙏
I was led here in spirit. Has to be the best guide for preparation. Have been called for years. Time to face my fears and rid myself of the final demons remaining. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Thank you!! Many blessings!!! You are Amaizing!!!🙏love from PR🌴🍍🌸
@Christina Lopes thank you for this series. I’m going for my first one this May in Sacred Valley...
I ll be doing my first ayahuasca ceremony soon and this has helped alot in my preparations. Thank U X
Very good explanation, thank you for making this wonderful introduction video.
This is the best guide on this I've ever seen. Thanks!
Thank you 😀
This is beautiful. She is explaining this really good.
Great video, well done and conveyed honestly.
Hi Christina ♡ thank you so much for your sharing. I will have my first ceremony this month of June and it's confortable to listen to you. I will go to the second part. Much love from Buenos Aires.
Hi Christina, this is such a good video. Thank you. I plan on doing this soon, I really want to do this with a shaman like yourself. Your energy is so pure, so bright, so loving. I intend to learn more about “why” I am here, what the humans mission is supposed to be.
Much love!
Your voice is really nurturing. I’m from Perú and thanks a lot for your advice (and your special way to bring it) and also for the one brought to me by both of my shamans (psychologists too), few days to guide me in this process.
Very helpful advice. Thank you Christina.
Beautiful to see your evolution through your videos
Beautiful video ! Lots of important and useful tips in here I especially resonate with the fact you’ll find a shaman based on the frequency / vibration that you are on and transmit . You’ll find one on the same vibration as you and that’s how aya found me I didn’t even go looking for it I just seemed to meet various people on the same wavelength I was trassmitting and then doors opened for me. That’s another way you can tell whether or not ayahuasca is for you if you are unsure. If it finds you !
Thank you, Christina!
I'm going to Rythmia life Advancment Center in Costa Rica to do the ayahuasca. ❤ Thank you so much for this wonderful information.
How did u get on Debbie I have been researching Rhythmia for myself. I'm thinking 30th December 20192019-January 6th 2020 so my first ceremony would be going into the New Year I thought it would make it wonderful start to the new year. I have been going through a Spiritual Awakening 😄
I’m curious about your experience too. I’m scheduled to go in July.
Jacqueline Russell how was your experience? I’m scheduled for Rythmia in July...
Loved this. Having my first ceremony in a month!
Thank you ! This has helped me prepare for my experience. I appreciate your knowledge !
Delightful …..thank you for a very useful and informative …even passionate guide….
Great information!
Thank you Christina.
Much appreciated and needed ~☆
So I had a spontaneous spiritual. I’m thankful for all the positive changes that happened because of that. However, after that I was thrown into the dark night of the souls & it has been extremely difficult for me but I’m so glad to be learning so much.
Thank you Christina
Confirmation of the day 💚🌿
thank you for this
Also no alcohol, coffee and sugar one month prior (or at least minimize sugar) or any stimulants/mind alerting substances to get you to your natural state. That way already during the prep state you start seeing more clearly what you’re dealing with on personal level.
I was thinking about taking some. But maybe I’ll think about it some more time later in life.
Thanks for all the tips!!
Wanting to make more money is a perfect enough reason to do ayahuasca bc when you are wanting to make more money what you are really wanting is to be in less resistance to your creative flow. The same vibration that makes us not have enough money is the same vibration that makes us feel like we ourselves aren’t enough. Or that we don’t have enough time, or friends or space etc etc. So it needs to be addressed and the spirit behind ayahuasca knows how to address it.
Agreed. "making money" per se is not what I commented about.
Hi Christina, thank you for posting this! I've heard about setting intentions a lot with Ayahuasca but am unclear if it is better to set ONE intention especially for the first time I do it, or is it alright to set several intentions regarding various topics that I would like to work through with mother Aya? Gracias y Namaste
You beautiful woman thanks for you Tipps!
Thank you
Doing it next month:)
Hi Christina. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and advises. You are loved.
I had the chance to take Aya almost 2 years ago. It could have taken 30 years of psychoanalysis/hypnoti. to find out what happened when I was in a fetus form. Too long to explain. The Aya showed me things that I needed to see.
But my question is about before you get there, the preparation.
They told me I needed to clean my body when it came to foods and medications. I stop slowly the depression and anxiety medication under the supervision of my doctor.
I struggled a bit but the thought of taking the medicine kept me going.
I’m planning to go back soon and take it again my sis will go with me but she’s taking Ativan for sleeping purposes. Can she do Aya if she’s taking that medication? How long she needs to stop it before de Aya.
In my case was 6 weeks prior to Aya because I was taking 2 meds.
What do you think? Is it dangerous if she continue with Ativan and take plant medicine?
Thank you and many blessings!
Christina, my ayahuasca ceremony last year changed my life. After that many things happened and my spiritual awakening is going so fast! This year I had my kundalini awaken spontaneously and im learning to navigate life with that. With that being said, sometimes I still think that one day I might take the ayahuasca tea brew again. Not that she has called me again, I dont think so. But I have been reading in many places that taking ayahuasca when you have your kundalini awaken can be really damaging for you, since they are both very strong energies operating inside you. So my question is: did you have your kundalini awaken before or after the ayahuasca? and second: would you ever try ayahuasca again? I feel like Im now in the process of crumbling of my old self, and the kundalini is helping me with that. But sometimes I feel so lost and it's difficult to know what's coming to me. I can't wait to start shining my light out in the world but I still cant find the inspiration to do so. Like Im not ready. Is this a trap of my ego (that is scared of the new) or is it really part of the confusion of the spiritual awakening and I actually have to be patient with my process? I actually HAVE desires about what I want to do career wise, but maybe I should really release the outcome and surrender completely to life so she can show me the plans she has for me when I'm ready to shine my light...
Perhaps you can make a video on that. I know there is a lot of stuff involved in this question, but the main thing is: is it dangerous to take ayahuasca if my kundalini is already awaken inside me? and second: am I being too hard on myself? shall i be patient with my process or is it just my ego scared of me putting myself out there? I still cant find the inspiration...
Thanks!
Hello, Christina I recently found out about Ayahuasca and believe its a calling. I would love to go to Peru and do this ceremony. I was just in Peru with Brenda K Starr the artist, I went as her musical director. I'm a professional musician can you help learn more about this.
Where can you have this done? How do I find a place? How expensive is it? Thank you
Do you have any recommendations for trustful places to do Ayahuasca?
Olá Christina! tudo bem? Gostaria de saber se vc fará essa sequência de vídeos em português. :) Obrigada!
Do you except Veterans?
You’re beautiful!
Hi , I have one question ? I like know why ayahuasca not on me ?
Hope one day i get chance to get ayhuascha❤❤❤❤❤
When I first listened to this video an aeroplane flew over my home at precisely the same time. SYNCHRONI CITY. No shaman or ayahuascA near here. Sending love...
Um. Wow. An aeroplane flew overhead. Thats so deep. Once, my dad called out my name and at that precise moment i saw his face. True story.
Could it be dangerous?
Hi,Can u recommend a Shaman fr this?
Hi Christina, I recently had my first Aya Experience… I was shaking uncontrollably for 3 hours, with a bit of dancing and crying!
It seems like a I was possessed!
I’m not sure what to make of it.
No visuals!
Is that normal? What does that mean?
Sorry just have a question. Would you consider Ayahuasca witchcraft? I hope it's not because this will then go against the Catholic church/faith, and I really want to try this, my heart is yearning to do this. Looking forward to hearing your kind advice on such matter.
Do you recommend mutable nights in a row with ayahuasca ore just one at the time ?
Should I expect the same genuine experience if I decide to go to Faro to work with the plant? Thank you Tina 🙏🏻
Christina Lopes Thank you for replying to me.
I just finished reading your book. It was/is a bliss.Thank you for that too! 🙏🏻 Lots of love from a heart that is learning how to be open regardless 💗
How would u respond to comments that some people make that because u open yourself to astral world u can meet good and bad entities which can lead to even attachment of bad entity. How would you protect yourself during the ceremony?
May I ask you What do you think, what can one ceremony can give?
Last 30 years I Neuro, psychotherapist, has a lot meditation practice, work in different countries, different mindsets. But I've never tried any psychedelics. (Only once mushrooms but it wasn't deepest some meditation practice).
I'm looking for some answer, that didn't find yet. But unfortunately I don't have enough money for many ceremony's.
Still I feel like I wanted to speak with Ayahuasca.
i’m having reservations about having my brother as my shaman for my first ceremony. we have family trauma that i don’t want to get in the way of connecting as my shaman.
How is your brother a shaman? I hate that people are throwing these titles around like tic tics these days. If he really studied to be one in the jungle tho good for you
Only one importatn comment on FACTS about AYAHUASCA: it is the vine of ths soul NOT death.. according to COLOMBIA 's shaman KAYUJALI and his team also in PERU... I just viewed another PERU sahma form PACHA MAMA 's teachings ALBERTO.....who was just the best I had ever heard and seen.. Others who would love to hear your comments are BLUE MORPHO TOURS with Keith Aronowitz and Hamilton Souther, Alberto Davial Torres as master host shaman .. Another one for you to contact is DON OSCAR MIRO QUESADA also from PERU....Thanks Christina for such great work anyways....and for your rectifications on the being of this only one sacred plant....Blessings to you hermana!

Wonder if Auahuasca is a vine in the corporeal world because her spiritual aspect is a snake?
Id love to take it its 1 of my dreams ..cant get it in England 😢😢😢

3:51 Tips finally begin 🥹🫶🏻
Where did you go to do this?? And how much does it cost? I’m really interested in going this
Whr do u find it in india
Oh, the cost is a secondary concern. We are truly driven by Mother Ayas desire that all who are called will be fed. There is a nominal donation of 25,ooo dollars for three nights, however. BUT ....this has nothing to do with money, i assure you.
Anyone can recommend a retreat? Also how do you pick a shamn where you don't have anbody that went thu this? I just have to rely on reviews.
I am going to Don Ron at El Purguero in Iquitos, Peru this coming Mid January(13th-19th). He speaks in English and fluent Spanish, which is a huge plus so you can have a better understanding of the ceremonies and any questions won't be left unanswered. He is known for making quite the strong brew of Ayahuasca which other Shamans and other retreats buy their Ayahuasca strictly from him. He has over 20 years experience of being a Healer/Shaman. Their are reviews(recent ones as well) about their experience on TripAdvisor and on youtube. I have been drawn to experience this medicine for years, and have finally made my mind to go. This particular person, has a very pure heart but at the same time has the strength to get every person the best experience with Mother Ayahuasca.
@@Vassiliadis504 would like to find out more, ,,😁
britt vassiliadis hi there! I checked out the same place and the quoted cost of the ceremony seems reasonable too . Looks really credible but do you have more testimonials or how did you find out about it as I am hearing the calling of the mother too!
I’m going to the jungle of Cancun Mexico in May retreat called Mamay Ayahausca ❤
If I throw up, will I no longer feel it, or would i feel it less?
From what I understand that is when you actually start feeling it more start taking your journey after The Purge
@@528freq8 From my experience there are two seperate things happening, You can do things; 1) You can throw up/vomit and or 2) You can purge. Throwing up//vomiting is a physical action when previous consumed foods exit via your mouth. This might happen after you consumed the brew. Then there is Purging, which is an emotional vomit. This happens after Mother Ayahuasca has released the trapped energy (trauma) from your energy body and for example in my mind I was doing hours of projectile vomiting, but after the ceremony (when I returned to this 3D reality) my bucket was basically empty - the Purging feels and sounds like severe vomiting, but was only energetic for me. However we were following a Dieta (strict diet and abstinence of various substances, which you can find here for an idea with this specific shaman: noyanete.com/more-info/
My plan is to make the brew and do it myself for healing.
Roy Gould I em with you , who ever i try to contact they asking for thousands of dollars and they keep preaching how they told to help others ?!? I don’t think ayahuasca told them to charge us so much ... check for u self from 1.500 to 4.600$ with some of places at Costa Rica
There are others who have already asked for me to assist them in their first journey.
This is not a good idea
Really stupid idea.
Probably, but anything is better than a life of quiet desperation.
They call it "the vine of souls" not "the vine of death".
I can't meditate. Ive tried all the advice known to man. Whats my next move?
meditate until you can.
I am confused, you say it depends on what your intentions are, is how your trip goes. What could a bad person do, it’s not like you can steal anything on that trip, this is so confusing. I could never take this stuff, I am to scared. Regardless if I am pure hearted, I feel my spirit will be attacked.
Christina Lopes Oh, Ok.
@@ChristinaLopes
Precisely
Wherever you are, You are there.
The secret word for tonight ist: be careful/pure hearted. A very very clever guy said once to me: you have to lead your intoxication.
Don't think that this is something I would ever do! Being sick through illness is bad enough, inducing it purposely seems absolutely nuts to me ?????
💖👍
Where can i get ayahusca to buy
Dont. It is a very intens or extreme experience so dont use this alone. In my county there are multiple places where can use this safe with friendly open hearted people.
+Rman Pojo - Could you be more specific?
Muchas gracias Christina.
Voy a empezar a prepararme más para esta extraordinaria nueva etapa de mi vida. Estoy tan alegre al saber que mi vida será mucho mejor con la ayuda de esta preciosa energía.
Me podrías recomendar a Shaman por favor?
Muchísimas gracias:)
I recommend to go do it with a trained shaman.. Peru or Costa Rica is legal.
It can create incredible healing used correctly.
Does anyone have good recommandations of chamans or centers practicing this ceremony? (Anywhere in the world really). Thanks :)
Julie Soreya I go to Soulquest in Orlando. Multiple retreats there and going again in a few weeks
@@tblightningbolt8902 Thanks for the answer :) I'll check it out!
I’m going to Mamay Ayahausca in jungle of Cancun in may ❤
Could you plastique tell us, what about taking it alone ? I'm à French dude that is going to prepare it for myself So whatever I will probably do it.
I have taken it more by my self, than with others. make sure your intent is good, and use tobacco in making a protective circle. to only let in benevolent spirit.. don't leave the circle.
pray pray pray.
Do you believe ayahuasca starts working with you before the ceremony?
😇😇😇💓💓💓
No guru
No method
No teacher
Ritual is what you do when you don't know what you're doing..- Terence McKenna
Love your videos and presentation. However, in a round about you blamed someone for a bad experience if they have a less than the 'right shaman'. This was really inappropriate. "Did you find the right shaman" could have been rephrased to avoid blame. Even the most enlightened person with the best intentions could 'attract' a bad experience.
I'm doing a half Ironman a day before my first Aya experience. I should already be removed from my body.
I have often wondered how you arrived at some of your conclusions without the assistance of psychedelics. The answer is "you didn't" :)
It is possible to connect without psychedelics.
@@deeonwu4965 absolutely. No plant medicine takes longer to receive spiritual clarity. But I get visions and explanations from Source gradually and with great intensity.
Their should not be bad energy shamans working with people anyway . Intention should not be the case that you will attract and bead ethicalneprson or teacher.. Some folk going to ceremonies are very low and not in the best place and looking for something to change. Therefor,an experienced Shaman would be expected to have good energy towards anyone . If you attract a bad shaman with bad intention whilst you are vulnerabke be very aware. Its not your fault. . In any holistic setting there are 'bad' people with bad energy influencing people. Stay clear of anyone Shaman with bad energy.
Sounds like mushrooms 🍄 I tried a microdose and got nauseous on it. And it made me bla. Tired. I didn't like it. I don't dare to go to a stronger dose.
On your sojourn did you happen to see a women with tattoos on her face like an Irish woman.
No tienes ni idea que es un ayahuasquero,jajajajajajja😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂cuando quieras enseñarte😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody should never, ever do Ayahuasca before the Bufo & Kambo Ceremony. Hopeless waste of time and money. Bufo is the God Molecule and then the rest follow after.
