CAN I HAVE A “BAD TRIP” WITH AYAHUASCA OR GO CRAZY?

To answer this question you must first see how you are experiencing your life. Do you experience it as a "good trip" or as a "bad trip"? People who live their lives like a bad trip tend to resort to palliative drugs like cocaine or anxiolytics as a way to temporarily escape from the hell they consider to be something they are victims of and that has to be saved or solved by something that comes from outside too. However, when you come across an entheogenic medicine like ayahuasca you can come to understand that you are responsible for creating this hell with the treatment you give yourself, in turn you can come to see that you are not guilty of it and that you can from your innocence open yourself up to love flooding you, allowing everything you need to embrace to arise in you. When you allow yourself to be overwhelmed by everything that you refuse to feel and that you are mistreating in yourself and you let it go through you in an attitude of surrender and surrender where you let love operate, something wonderful happens, a liberation and a catharsis take place, a metamorphosis of the experience of yourself and of life. However, when you intensify the struggle that you maintain in your day to day experience and kick, then it is when you can experience it as a bad trip. It's like you're saying, I'm not going to the dentist or the doctor because I might have a bad trip. Resisting the operation only complicates things, however when you leave yourself in the hands of Medical Existence, she provides and transforms you with her universal medicine of love. At times you may not like what you see or what you experience and at times you will feel enormously happy. It is about being able to adopt a contemplative attitude in which you open your heart and do not identify with the interpretations that arise in your mind.

Ayahuasca does not increase thoughts, in fact the mind harmonizes with the heart and is tuned in and put at the service of love. Therefore, ayahuasca does not produce paranoia as many might believe, but rather it allows you to go beyond the loops of the mind, it is as if the glue with which you have joined them were temporarily diluted and you detach yourself from those ideas, beliefs. and sentences with which we judge and compartmentalize everything. Nor does ayahuasca produce altered states of consciousness, rather it makes it possible to unalter it from altered states such as stress or persistent depression.

There are stories about how people are saved from drowning in a whirlpool when instead of fighting to get to the surface they surrender to the bottom of it and are naturally returned to the shore of a new world renewed. When we talk about a bad trip, we are not talking about something inherent to an experience or a medicine, but rather we are talking about the attitude that is taken towards said experience. Ayahuasca medicine does not have psychotic properties, it does not drive you crazy, but it helps you to see how crazy you are, how crazy you are, the lies you believe about yourself and about life that make you suffer and gives you the possibility of access a creative madness that cures-all. When madness is standardized and normalized and someone tries to get out of it they call him crazy, simply because that person longs to get out of the slavery of the supposed sanity of the ropes with which we are tied like rickety bonsai that long to breathe in the air of the wild and serene freedom.

With the bufo alvarius the "traveler" is diluted, he goes beyond all duality and the concepts of "good" and "evil" because there is nothing to protect himself from, all protection becomes a limit at that moment in time. the one where you completely unprotect yourself and explode into the immensity of creation and that's what people sometimes need to integrate…they can't integrate the journey because they don't want to assume that they became the Journey and that every other “choice” or separation isolated is an illusion before the inevitable flow into the Cosmic Ocean of Absolute Love and Supreme Ecstasy, they cannot control it, nor can they contain it, the only way is to merge with it in full trust as a total offering to the Universe. Saying it was a "good trip" or a "bad trip" in the face of these experiences is very naïve, it is very superficial and even victimizing to catalog and discard it that way, it is putting power outside and not assuming the transforming capacity of receiving these experiences. from deep permission as a transformative medicine. On the other hand, at the other extreme are the people who only consider those experiences that are close to what could be called a "bad trip" to be healing and profound, it is as if the false need to live in purgatory that frees them from their impurities and indignities… for them a soft and peaceful experience full of love is synonymous with cowardice and not having “gone deeper”… when really deep inside us, beyond the fragmented layers of what we think we are, is joy and happiness. the beauty of the continuous journey of eternal love, a universal orgasm full of waves that we breathe when we surrender to life and stop denying taking it, when we stop refusing to let it in for fear that life will give us a "bad trip" …

• Temporary "psychotic break" as a defense mechanism against anxiety, guilt or fear, "eject" button.

What I have been able to observe is that they are defense mechanisms. When ayahuasca leads them to connect with some anguish from the past, it is as if They will press the eject button that triggers the plane seat with the parachute, in these cases we know how to accompany the person. The outbreaks are not linear but cyclical and the person descends into reality and then leaves again until they completely return. In the moments when he comes down, it is important to talk to him about areas that are important to him, ask him about his children, his partner or things they bring him, also give him honey with orange juice and relaxing infusions of lime blossom, lemon balm and valerian in addition to showers. hot and cold and above all, be present and trust.
• Ayahuasca shows us our normalized and self-destructive madness and leads us to creative madness, temporary chaos as internal reordering. New inner order in love and consciousness.

• Ayahuasca does not increase the cobweb of thought. It's not like marijuana. But it can lead you to go through and overcome fears so that you can embrace them and go through a spiritual forging and transcendence and disidentification.

Here I share with you an example of a person who had a momentary escape from reality because ayahuasca led him to heal anguish related to abuses he suffered in the Honduran war and how we redirected the experience in the session and also in the integration until the point that the person took ayahuasca again the night after living an experience of integration of all the liberation that occurred to him and all the love for himself and for the life with which he connected. We titled the video reconciliation with the matrix because as a way to escape he said that he had to free himself from the matrix, something understandable for an internal child who suffered so much but when you hug him you can go through this experience of duality without rejecting it.
