I've been wondering something connected during a recent extraction. That perhaps, the intent of the extractor and part of his/her spirit goes into the extraction and changa procedure... much like many people say about brewing ayahuasca. I have read that as people become more experienced in brewing, they come to realise that one of the most important parts of brewing is the intent you put into the brew. Shamans sing to the brew and blow sacred tobacco smoke over the brew to clear bad spirits.
There's no reason an extraction should be that different IMO. Boiling plant material is just another method of extraction after all.
Maybe your creation has a strong connection with you in such a way that it needs your presence in order to do its work.....?
