How Ayahuasca experience may feel like?
At APL Shamanic Journeys, we have seen time and time again how Ayahuasca can help individuals come to terms with traumatic experiences and find peace within themselves. The medicine works by accessing deep-seated emotions and memories that are often unconsciously stored within us, bringing them to the surface for examination and healing.
During an Ayahuasca ceremony, you may experience intense emotions, vivid visions, and profound insights. The experience can be both challenging and cathartic, as the medicine helps to release pent-up emotions and traumas that have been stored within you. You may feel a range of emotions, from fear and sadness to joy and peace.
The process of healing with Ayahuasca is not always easy, but it is often incredibly transformative. It can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, and allow you to realize past traumas in a healthy way. You may find that after an Ayahuasca ceremony, you feel more grounded, at peace, and better able to manage stress and anxiety.

Let’s see look deeper into what you may experience after taking Ayahuasca:
This powerful medicine can bring about a range of effects, both physically and psychologically, and can be a transformative experience for those who undertake it. In this article, we will explore the effects of Ayahuasca, what the experience of taking Ayahuasca is like, and how it can be used to overcome traumas.
Changes in Thinking
One of the most prominent effects of Ayahuasca is a change in thinking. Participants may experience a reduction or expansion of reflective awareness, as well as changes in their concentration, attention, memory, and judgment. The experience of taking Ayahuasca can be intense and can alter the way one perceives the world.
Altered Time Sense
Another common effect of Ayahuasca is a distorted sense of time. Participants may feel as if time has slowed down or accelerated, or they may feel as if they are outside of time altogether. This altered sense of time can be a powerful aspect of the Ayahuasca experience, helping to create a sense of timelessness and detachment from the physical world.
Fear of Loss of Control
For some people, the fear of losing control is a common concern when taking Ayahuasca. However, positive cultural conditioning and the presence of a skilled shaman or facilitator can help to mitigate this fear and lead to mystical and transcendent experiences. It is important to remember that the fear of losing control is normal and can be overcome with the right support and preparation.
Changes in Emotional Expression
Ayahuasca can also bring about intense emotional reactivity, with participants experiencing a range of emotions from ecstasy to despair. This emotional reactivity is often accompanied by a reduction in conscious control, as the unconscious is opened up and emotional blocks are released.
Changes in Body Image
Alterations in body image are also a common effect of Ayahuasca, with participants often experiencing the dissolution of boundaries between self and others, as well as a temporary loss or change in the usual sense of reality. The experience of these changes in body image can vary greatly depending on cultural beliefs and expectations, ranging from frightening to mystical.
Perceptual Alterations
Increased visual imagery, heightened perceptions, and hallucinations are all possible effects of Ayahuasca, with these experiences being influenced by cultural beliefs, group dynamics, and individual wish-fulfillment fantasies. These perceptual alterations may reflect psychological fears, conflicts, or neurophysiological mechanisms, and can result in geometric patterns and alterations in light, color, and shape.
Changes in Meaning or Significance
In altered states of consciousness, individuals may attach special meaning or significance to their experiences, ideas, or perceptions. These experiences may range from genuine wisdom to self-imposed delusion, and can be a powerful aspect of the Ayahuasca experience.
Sense of the Ineffable
Due to the uniqueness of the subjective experience of taking Ayahuasca, individuals often have difficulty communicating their experience to those who have not had a similar encounter. This sense of the ineffable is a common aspect of the Ayahuasca experience and can be a powerful reminder of the subjective nature of reality.
Feelings of Rejuvenation
Many individuals report a new sense of hope, rejuvenation, and rebirth after an altered state of consciousness brought on by Ayahuasca. This feeling of rejuvenation can be short-term or lead to sustained positive changes in mood and outlook, making Ayahuasca a powerful tool for overcoming traumas and negative patterns of behavior.
In conclusion, the effects of Ayahuasca are vast and varied, and can range from profound physical and emotional reactions to profound spiritual experiences. The experience of Ayahuasca can be intense, but with the guidance of a trained shaman or facilitator, the journey can be deeply transformative and cathartic. At APL Shamanic Journeys, we believe that Ayahuasca has the power to heal and transform, and we are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and transformative environment for those seeking to explore the effects of this powerful plant medicine.

Why is it important to have a course
of Ayahuasca ceremonies?
Ayahuasca is not just a one-time experience, but a process that requires time and dedication. Many people who have experienced Ayahuasca know that it takes time to build a relationship with this plant, and that it's through this relationship that you can achieve true transformation and healing.
One-time ceremonies may bring temporary relief or experiences, but without a long-term commitment to the process, it can often lead to confusion or even worsening of mental health. It is important to have a course of Ayahuasca ceremonies to allow for a deeper exploration of one's inner world and the healing process.
By developing trust with each ceremony, participants can go deeper into their healing process, gain a better understanding of themselves, and achieve lasting transformation. The integration process after each ceremony is also an important part of the course, allowing participants to process and apply what they have learned.
Certainly. It's also important to note that some people may not feel the full effects of Ayahuasca after just one ceremony. Building a relationship with this powerful plant spirit takes time, and it's recommended to participate in at least 3-4 of ceremonies to deepen your understanding of yourself and the healing potential of Ayahuasca.
At APL Shamanic Journeys, we encourage participants to join our 7-8 days retreats with 4-5 ceremonies. This approach allows for a deeper relationship to form between the participant and Ayahuasca, helping to build trust and facilitate the healing process.
