EFFECTS OF AYAHUASCA DURING CEREMONY
The ceremonies are performed inside the maloka or ceremonial hall. During the ceremonies we are in noble silence, in a meditative process, focused and relaxed, we give instructions on the process and guidance to be able to cope with the effects of the mother plant.The effect varies depending on the physical and emotional constitution. It can manifest for short periods, purgative physical and emotional symptoms, vomiting, diarrhea, temperature changes, sweating or body tremor.All these effects have a connection to our emotions and what we have repressed, fears, bitterness, sadness.After the purge comes an understanding, light, clarity and relief. We feel lighter and happier and we find the rainbow after the storm. This feeling could be indescribable because it is different for each one, the process of letting go and freeing ourselves of loads of the mind and learn to be present, in gratitude for what there is and what there is not.The energy and vibration change, our physical appearance, way of thinking and perspectives are amplified in a positive way, because the plant wants to see us flourish and grow, even though sometimes we have to be in the darkness of the seed.Just as the mind is healed, the body is also healed and the soul can rest in peace
LOCATION
We are in the beautiful sacred valley, in front of the energetic mountains, archaeological centers and a clean river perfect to meditate listening to the sound of the birds and the water running through the rocks, 40 minutes walking there is a wonderful waterfall, especially for walks near the retreat center and for the ceremonies with the great grandfather san pedro, we are 1 hour away from the city of Cusco, 15 minutes from Pisac and the craft markets, the rooms we have give a beautiful view of the mountains, warm, a quiet and special place away from the noise of the city
THE DIET
It is very important to maintain the diet before, during and after the retreat, to keep the mind and body clean, light and full of energy due to the deep work of the medicinal plants within us, we use vegetables grown in our organic garden, and sweet fruits We have vegan options during this healing process.This is for people who do not consume medications or antidepressants, if you are consuming any medication, contact to paqo before starting the retreat.We recommend at least one week before each retreat to have a ictiovegan, ovovegan or vegan organic and natural diet as much as possible, as this process will help the body to easily absorb the medicinal plants, and the purgative process will be easier and minimal.We recommend avoiding white flour, refined, processed foods, citrus fruits, cheese, milk, spicy foods, coffee, chocolate,fried food, alcohol or (if you use chemicals or drugs comunicate to Paqo please) avoid Marijuana, and have only a little Pink or himalaya salt and honey, no processed salt and no sugar, avoiding consuming all kinds of animals and being sexually abstinent for at least 3 days It will help a lot to preserve your sacred energy.
