INTEGRATION OF EXPERIENCE
AYAHUASCA & SAN PEDRO
A psychedelic journey is just the beginning of a complex process of integrating your experience
Some of the long-term effects of Ayahuasca and San Pedro are self-evident. Many people find that after the ceremony they eliminate tobacco, alcohol and even drug addiction. Almost everyone gains a deeper understanding of the world and themselves. The condition of patients with therapeutically resistant depression is significantly improved, and this is confirmed even by science. In order to unleash the full potential of plant teachers, you will have to do the work after the ceremony.
Here are just a few of the long-term effects of psychedelic drugs:
✓ reducing psychological trauma, information viruses and attitudes that interfere with achieving harmony and success in your life;
✓ understanding how life actually works, what is its meaning, and, as a result, the ability to correctly prioritize;
✓ reconciliation with the past by re-living exciting life episodes during a journey;
✓ establishing relationships with family and friends, acquaintances and colleagues, a significant reduction in the number of conflicts;
✓ healing for depression and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
A psychedelic journey offers insights that need to be comprehended and independently implemented. Ayahuasca and San Pedro won't do it for you. Repeated ceremonies will not help either: quantity does not mean quality. If you bypass integration of your experience, psychedelics will turn from a powerful means of true self-development into a mystical attraction for you. Spectacular and addicting, but almost useless.

Integration is the understanding of the experiences received on the psychedelic journey, their interpretation, and changing your own life for the better. Integration doesn't always begin after the ceremony. The right attitude going into the ceremony is important too.

WACHUMA OR SAN PEDRO
The Wachuma ceremony is one of the ways of knowing oneself through sincerity, unconditional love for oneself, through acceptance and understanding of oneself and the world that a person creates
MAIN STEPS OF
INTEGRATION
Learning to understand the meaning of the messages and implement them in life
✓ Reiteration. At the end of the ceremony, when the effects of ayahuasca or San Pedro begin to wane, you will find yourself in a borderline state. At the end of a journey, you are gradually returning to the material world, but this process is not over yet. At such moments, it is extremely important to repeatedly scroll over the memories of your journey. This is a way to move to another level of awareness, where the repressive mechanisms of the brain are no longer so active.
✓ Verbalization. Speak what you see and feel during the ceremony. This technique is based on the same principle as repetition. The brain will supplant the memories of the journey, but you will remember a lot of what you said aloud. If your listener is an experienced researcher or integration specialist, he will guide your story in the right direction and help you focus on important details.
✓ Containment. When the ceremony is over, you may be eager to discuss your experiences with colleagues. Avoid these kinds of conversations. Concentrate on remembering and comprehending only your experiences. Don't let them mix.
STEP 2 | INTERPRETATION OF INSIGHTS
Plant-teacher spirits do not make clear recommendations. Their messages are allegorical. Your task is to unravel images, symbols, and references. It is advisable to consult with a shaman and more experienced colleagues. Sometimes one ceremony is not enough. The ability to understand your experiences comes with experience.
Don't take action on your interpretation right away. New layers of interpretation arise over time, it can take from a week to several months.
STEP 3 | IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERPRETED EXPERIENCE
Psychedelics are not a way to escape to another world, but a way to change your reality for the better. Otherwise, the journeys will turn into outlandish entertainment. This is the problem for many Ayahuasca and San Pedro adherents. They fly to the ceremony to watch psychedelic visions but do not interpret the insights. If they come to any conclusions, then they lack the strength, patience and determination to implement the messages of plant teachers into their own lives. Don't repeat their mistakes!
