Namaste divine lightbeings <3 I recently sat my 6th (or so) ceremony and was once again bowled over by the potency of music in guiding the experience.

I drank smaller amounts of aya as I wanted to be coherent enough to play music (holding guardian space as its called) and I still definitely felt a LOT of powerful medicine coursing through me. This medicine I drank was made with the intention of it being Yogic Medicine, not Daime or Aya as many of the traditional recipes end up being, and it certainly absorbed the devotee vibes of the fellas who brewed it <3

Anywho, my first education this evening was to learn WHEN to sing the Purging Icaro I learned , its a Quechua mantra and when I sang it , right afterwards one of our participants started purging BIG time! I felt a lil bad from that but transcended that and honored the lesson.

The only times I received visuals during this low dose experience were when a flute was played, I noticed the flute sounds just activate my entheogenic visions like no other.

I have seen and heard several individuals talking about how the music has guided them through their trips, affecting the content and character of the visions. I would LOVE to hear any anecdotes about the power of Icaros and Song in experience with Mama Aya <3

Here is me singing a traditional Quechua Icaro called Ayahuasca Takimuyki , slightly adapted from the Shimshai version , enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/g...tree/ayahuasca-takimuyki

On a related note, I remember one of the shamans I worked with in Peru telling me that he had also worked with mushroom curanderos in Mexico. He said that he could sing an ayahuasca icaro in a mushroom ceremony and the ayahuasca patterns would appear, and vice versa.
