Ayahuasca is a powerful spiritual medicine that calls for thoughtful and intentional preparation. At AyaymamaMystic, we believe that proper ayahuasca preparation creates the foundation for a safe, transformative experience that aligns your body, mind, and spirit with the teachings of the Amazon.
Physical Preparation
Diet and Exercise
The traditional ayahuasca dieta preparation involves eating clean, plant-based foods and avoiding processed items, alcohol, and drugs. This helps to clear your system and make your body more receptive to the medicine’s energy. Light exercise like walking, yoga, or stretching can also support your body’s readiness for the retreat.
Sleep and Stress Reduction
A well-rested body and calm mind create the best conditions for healing. Prioritize good sleep in the weeks before your retreat and practice gentle stress-reducing activities like meditation or breathwork. These small efforts will help you feel grounded and open to the deep insights of ayahuasca.
Mental & Spiritual Preparation
Setting Intentions
One of the most important aspects of how to prepare for ayahuasca is setting clear, heartfelt intentions. Reflect on what you hope to learn, release, or understand. Your intention acts like a compass for the journey, guiding the medicine and your spirit through the ceremony.
What to Expect
Ayahuasca ceremonies can be intense and emotional. Be prepared for physical purging (vomiting, sweating), vivid visions, and deep emotional releases. These experiences are all part of the healing process. Our experienced facilitators and Shipibo shamans will be there to guide and protect you throughout your journey.
