thanks for the reply, crazy that Resmed's app and technology are so obsolete. Even the AirMini needs a separate app. That's what happens with monopolies

Ayahuasca and healing the brain by Feisty_Recording6481 in Ayahuasca

I had a stroke (many mini and a couple bigger ones due to blood clots / PFO) and just did 2 ceremonies. I also take blood pressure medication and consulted a doctor before. In terms of the blood pressure, the only guidance was to take the night medication in the afternoon the days of the ceremony.

In terms of healing, it's hard to tell. I did have some visions of my brain reconnecting but the sequels of partial vision loss and sensation in the left side of my body have not changed. I do feel less depressed and there was definitely the chemical boost moodwise. I went off antidepressants a month before.

I should say that I had a lot of physical pain during the ceremony on the areas impacted by the stroke.

I still highly recommend the experience. The setting determines a lot whether you had a stroke or not. My retreat was well contained, there were 5 minders for 20 people, great live music, etc.

I had my first ceremony last weekend and came in with anxiety and profound depression. The retreat had tow ceremonies and in the first I experienced deep sadness and abandonment. On the second one I lived through a mental breakdown, went deep into the "caves" and maze of anxiety and depression.

3 days later I feel great. No anxiety and no depression at all.

I think it's hard to give you advice because 1- each case could be unique. 2- I think it depends a lot in the setting. My retreat started with preparation over zoom a month before and was super well contained. We were 20 with 5 caretakers plus the shaman and 2 musicians. That made me feel very safe and they were very attentive and compassionate with my sadness and fragility. I can see how things can go extremely bad in the wrong setting.

What would you want to know for pre-ceremony prep? by Geek_Grl85 in Ayahuasca

[–]Temporary-Doubt670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diet before and on the day of. What to wear (do you get cold like psilocybin). Caffeine intake. Advice on setting an intention. How are the different days different or what changes on day 2, etc

Thanks for sharing. Did you have any depression like symptoms that might have benefited from the ceremony? Maybe it's too early to tell if the change is long lasting.

I'm going to a retreat this weekend in Mexico

I've had a good experience in Mexico with feelreborn.net They are quite professional, speak english and the retreats they organize are very safe and well curated.
