Ayahuasca is widely considered by many who know and use it, as a
masterpiece of nature that cures ills, teaches us, corrects us and punishes
us (like a loving mother who scolds us, so that we leave behind our
weaknesses, our weights and continuously improve as conscious human
beings).
In the Andean and Amazon cultures the native communities consider
Ayahuasca to be a "mother plant" of the plant world, understanding the term
"mother" not in its common meaning, but as a main source and channel
capable of providing access to other plants in the natural world.
Before and during a ceremony it is important for the participant to focus on a
particular intention which they wish to gain or learn about , from drinking
Ayahuasca. In this way we are consciously drinking the sacred medicine
with an open heart and an increased ability to give and receive love. When
you open your heart fully, you then begin to open your mind.
The first Ayahuasca visions are usually presented after a period of
dizziness, that allows the participant to purge the medicine through vomiting
(although not in all cases). This purgative process serves the purpose of
physically and energetically cleansing participants, thereby eliminating all
impurities contained in the body and spirit. Purging is a natural process of an

Ayahuasca ceremony, and usually occurs about 30 or 40 minutes after
taking the medicine.
When a person first drinks Ayahuasca they can be startled by the wealth of
information, insights and spirits of the natural world (animals, plants, etc.),
that begin to interact with them. Initially their visions can mix with their
internal fear, weaknesses and doubts, and this initial fear and disorientation
is often greater for those who are less connected with the spiritual and
natural world in their day to day lives. However once Ayahuasca has had to
a chance to fully connect with the person any initial disorientation then gives
way to a heightened sense of alertness and inner peace, as they are then
surrounded by softer visions.
