What is Ayahuasca?

What is Ayahuasca?

Ayahuasca is a psychoactive plant medicine traditionally used in indigenous Amazonian shamanic rituals. It's made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the leaves of the Psychotria viridis, otherwise known as chacruna, or other plants containing DMT. The combination of these ingredients induces powerful visionary and introspective experiences. Ayahuasca is often sought for spiritual insights, healing, and personal growth. At Ahavah Gardens, Church of Entheogenics, it is consumed under the practice of religious and spiritual beliefs in a ceremonial setting under the guidance and care of experienced Colorado Curanderas and our collective family of Seva’s and Kokua’s.

Ayahuasca contains DMT, a potent hallucinogenic compound, which, when ingested, induces altered states of consciousness. DMT is mystically known as “The God Molecule”. The effects of Ayahuasca can include vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, introspective insights, emotional release, and a sense of connectedness with nature or a higher power. Many people seek Ayahuasca for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as addressing emotional traumas, shifting and moving ‘Panema’, gaining spiritual insights, and fostering personal growth. It's crucial to approach Ayahuasca with respect, as experiences can be intense, and the ceremonial setting and guidance are integral to its use.

Ayahuasca has a long history rooted in indigenous Amazonian cultures. Its use dates back centuries, with indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest incorporating it into their spiritual and healing practices. The word "ayahuasca" comes from the Quechua language and means "vine of the soul" or "vine with a soul." The brew is traditionally prepared by combining the Banisteriopsis caapi vine with chacruna in a scared and ceremonial process, where the brew is blessed and prayed over by the Shamans of the tribes.

Shamans in these communities use Ayahuasca as a tool for divination, healing, and spiritual exploration. The knowledge and rituals associated with Ayahuasca have been passed down through generations, contributing to its significance in the cultural and spiritual fabric of Amazonian societies. In recent decades, Ayahuasca has gained global popularity as people from various backgrounds seek its transformative and therapeutic effects.

This is due to a world wide awakening in consciousness, where human kind is realizing the need to deeply connect back to our native intelligence with the earth. There is a new understanding arising that our earth is psychedelic. She is sprinkled with mystical gifts that bring us a rooted connection to the divine. Using Entheogenic earth medicines in our spiritual practice is a holistic path back to finding our true selves. The curious and courageous are discovering an alternative way to heal, psychedelically. The word psychedelic can be translated as soul revealing. And the revealing of the soul can ignite a gnosis within that has been buried by epigenetics, ancestral patterns passed on through lineages, unhealed emotional wounds and trauma.

Mother Aya, another name for Ayahuasca, has a way of opening the soul that we could never reach in our human form alone. Mother Aya lifts the veil that separates the human experience from the mysterious spiritual dimensions. She is a mirror that reflects ourselves back to us. She is a nurturer who will guide us and discipline us. She will show us the things we refuse to look at for our own understanding so we can peel back the layers and knock down the walls we have built around us in an attempt to protect ourselves. But she knows us better than we could ever know ourselves. Mother Aya is the rope we climb to the ethereal realms. She keeps us safe on our journey through the spiritual dimensions, keeping us connected to the earth while she opens the doors of the mind and the heart so we can explore ourselves and access the wisdom of natures intelligence. You will undergo “spiritual surgery” when you surrender to the medicine, feeling a cellular transformation on a spiritual DNA level.

Many people share that their experience feels as if they have been “reborn” after an Ayahuasca Ceremony. Reports and stories after Ayahuasca sits is that it is a complete transformation and they come back feeling like a whole new person in a whole new world. The perspectives that were once their reality are completely different. They are looking through a new lens and the scope of how they see things now is through a lens of pure, unconditional love for themselves and humanity as a whole. Many claim there is a shift in how they view death, where they have died to their old selves, experienced the other side and come back with a complete release of the fear of death.

There are so many amazing testimonies to the powerful transformations when working with Ayahuasca. The birth of Ahavah Gardens was divinely guided by the ancient wisdom of Mother Aya herself. She has been there every step of the way. Our mission is to protect the medicine, the practice and the people who seek truth. We do not just do Ayahuasca Ceremonies. We build a community of Love, support and connection with compassionate hearts that extends beyond the medicine space. We are here to serve the human collective, unified in the concept that when you heal yourself, you heal the world.
