For the past few months I have had signs indicating that my second encounter with Ayahuasca is near. So, I "stumbled" on this site. Glad to see that there are like-minded individuals sharing their experiences, because as we probably all know, it can sometimes be difficult to find someone to discuss experiences with. A quick bio of myself - A former U.S. Marine, current college student and a student on the path of self enlightenment. Namaste everyone.

Hello,

A warm welcome to the Nexus...

I can imagine switching from the Military to college is quite the challenge... Or maybe you joined the Military because you wanted to go to college?
If my memory serves me well they have that in the US, "trading" military service for education or "escaping" prison by joining the armed forces - or maybe they don't anymore under Obama?
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in your academic endeavours...

What were the circumstances of your first encounter with Aya? At home, while travelling...
Did you have any psychedelic experience prior to your Aya session? Were you prepared for it, how did you cope?
I'm just curious because you seem to have a slightly different profile than most psych users I know, so you could comment on the experience from a different point of view/frame of reference - though I could be mistaken, obviously Pleased

Semper psy - lol

Welcome to the Nexus!

How was that first ayahuasca experience? What setting are you planning on consuming it in?

Do you have experience with other psychedelics too?

Be well

Thank you for the warm welcomes. dooby, my transition from military life to civilian life was a challenge, but thankfully I was able to cope fairly well because of family. I joined the military to pursue a career in law enforcement, but after five years, I had evolved through my experiences and realized a different goal.

My first encounter with Ayahuasca was in the jungles of Peru. It was a retreat. Originally ayahuasca satsangha, but now it has branched off known as - la familia medicina. I was very lucky to have stumbled on this place online. I embarked on this journey during November of last year. Prior to my leaving, I had devolved into a dark place, because of my PTSD, and the marital problems resulting from it. Once I made the decision to leave, I prepared my mind body and soul through yoga, meditation, and a rigorous workout routine. Before I left, my wife suggested that I take shrooms so that I could have some experience with psychedelics. 'Cue in the Rocky training music'

Nothing can really prepare you for an experience with ayahuasca. Our group was told that the only thing we can physically control is our breathing - deep full yoga breaths. I had some concerns because of my ptsd, but I needed something to shake my foundations, and mother Aya was just the thing. My experiences were out of this world, but I'll leave that for another post/topic.

endlessness, for my next encounter I plan on either returning to the la familia medicina retreat, or to Brazil. I have always associated the jungle with ayahuasca, and the down and dirty experience with it as well. I'm not into "comfortable" resort settings. I need the full experience. My experience with psychedelics is limited to shrooms and ayahuasca.

Semper Fi, I mean psy Pleased
