Dangers of misuse of ayahuasca

With the recent spread of the use of ayahuasca we have noticed an alarming increase in the number of people with very serious health problems caused by their participation in various rituals in which it is used. The most widespread phenomena that we have noticed are:

1) Lack of adequate preparation of those who conduct the ceremonies

Ayahuasca is a medicine with an ancient tradition and has to be applied using the techniques proven and used for millennia. It is a remedy, and like every remedy, it has to be administered in quantities and with the appropriate frequency and indicated by a specialist. Using it in large quantities can become a poison with negative effects on the participants.

To serve ayahuasca you have to be prepared, firstly having gone through a deep personal process, and then studying for years the shamanic techniques with the Masters of the jungle.

The facilitator is a doctor-shaman and his obligation is to know how to identify the problems of the participants and know how to treat them properly. Good intentions to help others are not enough.

The person who serves ayahuasca without the proper preparation, maybe helps 5 people but puts in danger other 30. Some are strengthened but others are weakened.

If you conduct ceremonies without proper preparation it is best to leave and help others in another way, safer for your patients. And if your true vocation is to conduct ayahuasca ceremonies our doors are open to receive you and prepare you properly.

2) Use of ayahuasca exclusively for expansion of consciousness

Ayahuasca is a medicine, a remedy that acts on a physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and situational levels. Working only on a spiritual level, reaching high states of consciousness creates two main very serious problems:

• An imbalance between Earth-Universe producing the effect of «flying» in people
  The loss of connection with the material life, and limitless opening of the world of fantasies without power and without interest in actually doing anything about it. This imbalance also causes the deficiency of the first two chakras, which causes amplification of fears, insecurities, amongst many others.

• Reaching high states of consciousness, that is, opening several upper chakras at once causes that the negative expressions associated with each chakra, are also opened
  This is very dangerous, the elevation of consciousness and the treatment of these negative expressions must be a controlled process, otherwise it can leave the person with irreparable damage to the psyche.
  This process in mystical schools worldwide takes years, allowing the student to «digest» the negative aspects of his personality calmly and taking his time.
  The negative expressions of this process are mainly: Anorexia, pride, inflation of the ego and selfishness, neurotic symptoms, victimized mentality, resentment, anger, shame, low energy, grief, loneliness, abandonment, betrayal, addictions, psychosis, lies, gossip, mirage, inadequacy, and cynicism.

3) Danger of incorporating entities / vampires

When contacting the world of beyond, the person conducting the ceremony must be prepared to protect the participants and alienate the entities (the dead, vampires, etc.) that live there.

Only when ceremonies are conducted by the Master and held in small groups is one safe from this danger.

If these entities are incorporated into the person’s body (especially in the neck area) they can cause lack of energy, various diseases and disturbances in life.

4) Ayahuasca as an accelerator

Ayahuasca, when used without proper medicinal techniques, has a higher energy effect acceleration. This is particularly dangerous when one frequently participates in rituals where the person that conducts it or gives it, does not notice what the participant is going through, or does not offer the correct help regarding the effects that arise.

If the person has problems, ayahuasca accelerates the processes of emotional, mental disharmony, maximizing ego and arrogance, and can lead to cases of despair.

This effect is particularly noticeable for users of highly addictive substances: marijuana, cigarettes and others, where ayahuasca acts as an accelerator and increases addictions.

If one seeks an increase in energy, strength, ayahuasca is not the best plant to use. There are many other plants that are much more suitable for this purpose. Working with these plants should be anticipated with a deep personal process and the individual must be in impeccable health.

5) Ayahuasca as an addiction

Many people seek ayahuasca to cure themselves from their addiction to chemical drugs like cocaine, crack, etc.

The issue of drug addiction is a delicate and complex issue. The causes of addictions have their origin in the psycho-emotional body, there are great disturbances in the soul, and dependencies on a physical level.

This has to be dealt with by a specialist, case by case. Otherwise, one runs the risk of going into the acceleration effect and dig deeper into the addiction or even worse, replacing it with another chemical or with ayahuasca, making you thing that it has solved your problem, but the problem of addiction continues.

There are also many people who become addicted to ayahuasca trying to escape from their problems. Every day, they spend time with the group of people that follow the same fashion or movement, thinking that this will solve their problems, but the problems that led them to seek for the medicine have not been solved. Entering mysticism can become an addiction itself.

6) Aspiration of negative energies

Many times during ayahuasca ceremonies held without a trained facilitator, participants mix their energies, and one draws in the negative energy of the others.

This is very dangerous for people without prior preparation, in addition, at the group level, there is no cure since the energy one has is passed from one person to the another.
