Many people have asked me the question, "What is an Ayahuasca journey like?"

For certain each journey is completely an individual experience, and while there are similarities between journeys, each one is completely unique. The only universal advice that I have been able to come up with about Ayahuasca is that the master lesson of this incredible feminine teacher is fundamentally about, 'letting go'.

You are shown the beauty of nature; you are shown the infinite nature of everything. You are brought healing and understanding in a way that will humble you, and make you cry. But in order to get there, you first have to let go.

It seems simple. But in fact it is one of the most difficult things for some. We all tend to hold on to so much. We hold on to our egoist ideas of self. We identify with our jobs or our families, and loose a sense of who we really are. We want to hide and we can't bear to be exposed.

The Ayahuasca experience often begins with your entry into a dome of fractal geometries of indescribable beauty. The speed and complexity of these breathtaking designs often stuns you to silence. You come to realize that you are looking at a picture of the very essence of the universe - mother Aya's mandala; her introduction to another dimension.

These fractal images existed when the universe began 13.7 billion years ago, and through the Ayahuasca experience we come to see there is a hidden order in all things. That order humbles us in its extraordinary beauty.

After a short time of observing the dome, angelic beings come to show you aspects of who you really are, or they take you into various parts of nature and the mysteries of life.

Infinity

Imagine that you are sitting down with your hands cupped together and you are holding the whole of the universe. You have the ability to see all in minute detail. You look through the different galaxies and find our solar system. You are able to look infinitely deep so you continue to zoom down to earth and finally to the place where you are. You see yourself holding the whole of the universe in the palm of your hands.

The above reminds me of the Mandelbrot fractal where you see the familiar pattern and zoom in only to eventually find another Mandelbrot among all the swirls and twists. Realizing that it goes infinitely in both directions, small and large becomes totally irrelevant, or rather, totally relative. Each of us contains the whole of creation within ourselves. This is the infinite fractal nature of life and god...no beginning, no end.
