I like the way you presented that, for me, you clearly talk, from the heart and with responsability, that's precious, a clear mind you have

[kittycat]

I really loved this video. I am 57 and I look forward to transform my life for the better. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[youcanthide]

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to hear. I’m still relatively new in my investigative journey into Ayawaska before I drink the medicine myself. As you can imagine there was a lot of apprehension and fear. But after watching this there’s a lot less fear and I feel many steps closer to partaking in the Ayawaska experience

[spacetoad]

Also, you said something in this video that is incredibly important.

These medicine people in the amazon not only have years and decades of personal experience and rigorous training,
They have centuries and maybe even millenia of cultural experience passed down to them. We have none of that in the united states. none. so when you have a church in the US run by some white guy in texas that drank ayahuasca once, this guy has no clue what hes doing and its incredibly reckless and very dangerous.

We in the west tend to think we know better because we understand the science behind ayahuasca but that practical personal and cultural experience is very important. YOU, reading this, as a westerner, have none of this experience with this substance so you need to be very careful who you do this with.

that is an excellent point made in this video

Thank you Nico, this is something I should have heard in my preparation for my journeys. You explained very well thank you 🙏🏻

[phix]

Nice Video, very informative! I will go on this journey when time is ready. Currently I still feel too young and uncertain of what kind of life I want to live. Ayahuasca will find me someday, I am sure of that.

[smoozerish]

For those with chronic anxiety please don't do ayahuasca as it can make it much worse, you have no idea how dangerous this psychedelic is. I barely made it through myself.

[K.Wegner-xysd]

Amen my brother Nico, peace with you my friend.

[tonykeane]

That is very sad but it is so true to be responsible and respect the plants

[missabyss]

Thank you so much for sharing, what a beautiful and peaceful message. Having my first Ayahuasca experience with experienced shamans of the Yawanawa tribe in 2 days. Very excited and nervous. I needed to hear what you had to say, so thank you ❤️

[patriciaripa]

Gracias por este video hace ya 2 años hice el sapito Bufo alvarius con miembros de la tribu SERI de Sonora. Después de varios años del proceso, dieta, etc. Y ahora la abuelita se está presentando en mi camino gracias x tus palabras.

You're analogy was excellent. I have panic attacks stemming from health anxiety and the fear of death. I have taken every prescription probably and they haven't helped. I'm 49 so there's not much left to try. I think maybe this would help but my fear is a bad trip. And maybe ending up worse after. I can't risk being worse but i don't know what else to do. How do you deal with the bad trips or if it's going opposite the way you wanted??? What if I find out I'm not a good person and it makes me a bad person after? I have so much pent up anger, regret, and sadness. I worry those pups bring them out in a bad way. I've only ever done weed and alcohol. Always too afraid to do anything else. Everything else was worse so I didn't do it. Your video is very comforting and id probably make it through if you talked me through it lol.

[johnnybhullar]

Thank you for doing this video!! it was something I have known internally but your words just solidified it!!

[Tearfaced]

I’m 24 and have dealt with depression for 5 years now. 2020 I got out of depression but I fell back into that hole once my mother died in late 2020. I have been dealing with horrible anxieties and depression. 2 years later now. I’ve tried mushrooms at the most but only about 2.5mg. I’ve had good experiences. I have been reading about Ayahuasca and I really want to try it.

[glowinginthenow]

WOW, I'm going to Peru next week to spend a month doing plant medicine & meeting mother ayahuasca with a Shipibo community. For some reason your video was at the top of my feed, I knew I had to watch it. Absolutely beautiful the way you speak! So calm and in the luscious jungle. Thank you for sharing this message 🙏

[ryanmurray]

I’ve never gone. I’ve done datura when I was a stupid kid, ibogaine and toad venom as a adult. Toad was the greatest experience of my life. Ibogaine was a miserable 25 hours. Datura is datura and horrifying.

[spacetoad]

I would also consider talking to a doctor if there are any medications or other reasons that could cause a really bad reaction, such as SSRI's, the interaction of the MAOI's in the vine and these and many other medications can cause catastrophic reactions

[bryguy]

You are an awesome guy with great energy! I’m going to Peru in September to the Temple of the Way of Light, and chose there because it’s suppose to be one of the closest matches to how this ceremony has been conducted for hundreds (or thousands) of years. I’m super scared.. but I absolutely respect the medicine and am ready to face/accept whatever it shows me.

Great video, thanks again!

I CRYED AT THE END, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY

[tblightningbolt]

About 1 in 7 of mine are out if control Wild.. still helpful after but makes me question if I’ll ever do it again while I’m in it…
