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 energy represented by the lotus is exquisitely sacred and divine. The lotus flower appeared in legends originating both from India and from ancient Egypt. It played an important part in ancient Egyptian religion. According to the story; "before the universe came into being, there was an infinite ocean of inert water, which constituted the primeval being named Nun.

For me, the lotus flower represents the energy of the heart. The lotus or the heart energy is a feminine energy. It is pure creativity. In fact, the energy of the heart (lotus) is both feminine and self-creating. The natural tendency of this energy is to extend itself out to others. It wants to connect.
