This service is intended primarily for people who have yet to experience ayahuasca, but have made the decision to take it as a form of treatment. Pre Ayahuasca Counseling is an opportunity to speak to someone with experience not only with ayahuasca but also counseling, therapy, and the study of consciousness. Do you have questions about:
- Interactions with pharmaceutical medications?
- Effectiveness for certain afflictions and conditions?
- Preparatory diet, actions, mentality?
- Navigation techniques and methods?
- Ceremony etiquette?
- The role of the curandero?
- Traveling to South America?
Most questions can be answered in just one session, but more than providing answers to questions, pre ayahuasca counseling is a way to feel safe and secure in your decision to embark on the mysterious path of ayahuasca and the plant medicine tradition of the Amazon. Putting your faith and trust into the process is important, and by speaking to an experienced counselor you can ensure that you are taking the proper precautions and can go into the experience with the confidence to let go of self limiting factors so that the optimal healing experience can be achieved.
