Great book

I learned a lot about the cause experience! The narrator seemed like he was talking in super slow motion- otherwise it was a great listen

Great guide

I recently listened to this audiobook and it was a great experience. As someone curious about ayahuasca and its potential effects, I found this book to be an invaluable resource. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the plant, its history, and the ceremonial practices associated with it. The step-by-step guide to preparing for an ayahuasca ceremony was particularly helpful, offering practical advice on setting the right environment and managing expectations. The integration techniques discussed are insightful, aiding in understanding the profound changes one might undergo post-ceremony. Additionally, the book covers how to handle side effects and uses psychological tools to enhance the overall experience. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in exploring the transformative power of ayahuasca in a safe and informed manner.
