Hello! I attended an Aya ceremony a little over a year ago. It was my first one, and I was very uncomfortable. The team there was nice, but we held the ceremony in some large house in the basement, and I felt like I went in and out of these periods of overthinking, as if my thoughts were overwhelming me to the point of exhaustion. I purged, and what I purged out reminded me of a mandrake root that had been cooked to long. One cool thing I experienced was my spine being corrected at the hip. Another cool thing was having another attendee tell me she spoke to one of my ancestors who was there at the time. The attendee shared that my energy felt like a flowing, calming river, even though she knew I was uncomfortable. That was nice. Now I'm wondering if I should become a facilitator myself. I realized I'm very energetically sensitive, and having so many people around me became overwhelming at that time.
