Ayahuasca First Time - Explaination and Experience

So I had my first ayahuasca experience last night (friday night) and I just wanted to explain how I extracted for anyone curious (because it was a beautiful enriching experience) and my experience.

First off the extraction.

1)2 Half gallon jugs with water (i used tap) 500 mg of crushed vitamin C (pills of 100 are like $5) in each and one fresh squeezed lemon in each.

2)dump one solution in a stainless steel pot, added my powdered root bark (7 grams as I wanted a light/respectful first start) and 3 grams of syrian rue seeds ground up. added all the contents together and boiled for 30 with VERY close attention, praying for a peaceful journey to the spirits as i cooked.

3)after 30 minutes i strained through some panty hose and set the liquid aside.

4)took my second solution of water lemon juice and vitamin C and added the mush too it and boiled that for 30 minutes.

5)after the 30 minutes i straing through a second piece of panty hose and added it to the first strain.

6)i then boiled down the final solutions (which were a light redish color) down from about 2 cups worth to the size of a shot (became very dark red)

7) cleaned up and went to prepare for my journey.



Now as far as the setting, its 1:30am, dark, some light snow falling with snow on the ground. I drank the mix slowly as the taste is absolutely horrible. I had to take 4 drinks (out of a 1 ounce shot) to get it down without puking. After about an hour the efect came about very gradual. the paintings on my wall began to move away from me and pulsate. A very calming presense that was in essence me but a very distant me was overpowering my thoughts. All fear had disipated. I began to slip deeper as all reality began to fade. I took about 2 full hours before i was indulged in the spirit world. I put on some pink floyd as I am a musician david gilmours guitar playing always strikes my soul. I was listening to the song marooned (heres a youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OMFiqNA6Ag"]YouTube- Pink Floyd-Marooned ) and as i closed my eyes the most amazing patterns overtook my being. with eyes closed i saw extremely bright beautiful klaidescope patterns and tunneling through eternity of reds yellows blues greens and a calming presense assuring me of this being a peaceful and loving journey the entire way. after a while i opened my eyes and went to smoke a cigarette (this was difficult as i did not want to leave that state of tranquility) i went outside to smoke and i felt myself change and morph into a creature that i h had a deep sconnection with, a creature i felt i WAS or had been in either a previous life or something. I was an ape mixed with a tiger. Looking in the mirror when i came back in to use the bathroom (diarhea was prevelent but well worth it) the mirror morphed my being into amazing creatures all my hair grew out to as large as a lions mane within seconds my body morphed before my eyes. All of my tattoos morphed into tribal art around my entire body and i began to blend in with my environment as I was one with the universe. Colors were enhanced drastically. Everthiny in the universe shifted with great unison. Tress outside grew into one and morphed into a black hole where light would burst out into patterns of amazing.. Words are fleeting as this experience is difficult to describe.

All in all it was a fantastic journey and am very grateful for the experience. Anyone wanting to try ayahuasca should do so with an open mind and do your research. try to get a glimpse of what it is before attempting to have the experience. I read up for months before hand and am glad i did. I believe it helped me communicate with the ancient spirits much easier. Oh and one thing that was prevelant throughout the entire trip was ancientstructure, like you see about the aztecs and mayans, those thypes of structures appeared throughtout my entire trip.

Anyway, i hope this information and experience is helpful to somebody

Peace Love & Music

 

cool,, cool music choice too..

 

Nice trip totally. I know exactly what you mean about the kalaidoscope part too, when I did dmt I got into a crazy kalaidoscope trip.

 

"a light/respectful first start" - wonderful post. This one (aya) sounds like a true other dimension.

 

beautiful, thank you so much for sharing i will try Ayahuasca for my first time this year and i'm looking forward to it. thanks again for sharing your experience

 

It was amazing, i become a distant ancestor that WAS me but was past me if that makes sense ?? It was powerful, more so than any other trip i've experienced on any other psychedelic in my past (which is saying alot) I am excited for future endevars (i cants spell lol)

freshdacre I remember from your DMT post you rock dude lol, did you use lye in your extraction? I want to use the lazy mans tek to extract but the last thing i need is lye and naphtha (i saw naptha at home depot for like $6) but cannot find lye anywhere but the interwebs ????

and dazed gypsy if i were you i would dose low for the first time, IE my first shroom trip was WAYYYYY to much, i mean WAY to much and i havent have only tripped once since then and was not very enjoyable because that world reminised my mind of that horrible night.. if that makes sense either?? lol

peace ya'll

 

thanks for the tip, i will keep that in mind. i plan on going gently the first time. thanks again man

 

good luck man, i know you'll enjoy it what ingredients you thinking about using?? i heard the cappi vine yields really great results

 

thank you haven't decided yet

This is quite different from the only mention of Ayahuasca I'd ever heard or seen before, from Weeds (a link to the episode that shows her trip: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=H375HPY7 at 15:45 ). Thanks for the description!
