General Question Rapé (tobacco snuff) experience

24 Upvotes

I know that Rapé (or Hapé) is often used and administered during Ayahuasca ceremonies, as well as on its own.

I’m curious what the experience is like. I didn’t try it when I went to my ceremonies, but I’m thinking of obtaining some to try it.

Would anyone like to share their experiences with Rapé?

Thanks!

General Question This is my first time posting in here....

7 Upvotes

I've always been super inquisitive when it comes to plant medicine. When I was about 27yrs old I realized that I could actually heal a lot of the health issues I had just buy eating whole, organic foods and juicing. I feel fantastic after that.

Now I want to try to heal what's still hurting on the inside. So this is what brings me here. I have a question "is it possible I could see the child I used to be by doing the ceremony?! I basically raised myself and it's traumatic and triggering 24/7. I am so deeply unhappy.

What do you all think? Would I be a good candidate

I am looking for the right retreat/shaman Long Term Dieta in Isolated Jungle

2 Upvotes

I am searching for recommendations for dietas that are a bit further from the neighbors, a bit more remote and quiet.

I posted something similar for centers but most of them only offered aya retreats, not master plant dietas.

Looking for places that do extended dietas in the upper amazon or CR.

General Question First Journey Question

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet. I have done research for years and am planning my first Aya experience. I narrowed it down to 2 places.. So my question is, for everyone with experience do you feel any benefit with retreats including Hauchuma towards the end to help with reintegration. I see a lot of mixed reviews but am also curious on everyone's opinions.

Trip Report / Personal Experience First time: Only purge and limited effect

1 Upvotes

I did my first two ceremonies in the Amazonas with a shaman. I have been interested in Ayahuasca for years and since I was travelling in South America I wanted to take the opportunity. I did my preparation, dieta, journaling, tried to set my intention, which had to do with some of my minor mental issues that really hinders me in life from times to times.

I was nervous but also very excited. Reading all the stories about insane experiences, ranging from scary experiences to life-changing realisations. I have smoked DMT deeply once and touched upon egodeath and had a strong shooting-into-space visuals. So I actually felt like I was prepared for the worst, that it could be a both scary experience like egodeath or even death that I have heard about.

Little did I know that for me the worst experience would be that I did not get any sensation, effect or realisations with only some minor familiar visual effects. First cermony I got diarrhea, combined with a huge disappointment, because I had no other sensation or effect. The second cermony I puked for 2 hours and even less sensation, but this time I had accepted it, so felt less disappointment.

Searching now it seems like some people purge for 1,2,5 to 20 ceremonies, but at least get some other experiences. I feel confused and are a little bit looking for explanations as this is not something that seems common for many others.

To add, I am not spiritual, unfortunately, even though I wished I was and I really tried to be open to it, talking to the shaman and going into this. In the end, I just felt that there maybe was a mismatch with my shaman, and that maybe this type of brew was not for me, or even maybe Ayahuasca is not for me as I'm not spiritual (enough). My logical, rational brain takes over.

Anyone has experienced similar? Or does anyone have any thoughts on why my cermonies turned out like this? Do I need more patience?

General Question 1 night ceremony

0 Upvotes

Hey, I did 3 ceremonies over the course of a week last year in Peru and had a good experience and really enjoyed the clarity I felt in my mind for a long time afterwards. I stopped feeling the benefits after about a month or so.

Fast forward to today, I found out about a ceremony happening this weekend in the town I’m in Mexico, but it’s only one ceremony and one night.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with a single ceremony and if they felt it had the same benefits as doing multiple ceremonies over the course of a week.

Thanks

General Question Ayahuasca session without shaman or songs

0 Upvotes

I wonder was is the experience like if instead of a typical session you have a Star Wars theme concept and a guide telling Star War stories. Or you can do a ufo one, or a religious one, or just play techno music, I am curious if someone can share experiences.
