What happens to me after I drink it?

You may experience some nausea, possibly with vomiting. This is a phase you have to go through, so don’t fight it. It is considered part of the purification process. However, you will be aware during your journey if you need to vomit or run to the loo so do not be afraid! If you do vomit, it is not like being ill from over-eating, sickness or being drunk. You will feel cleansed.

This does not always happen so please do not let this put you off in any way. The others with you are too busy experiencing their own journeys to pay any attention to what you are doing!

You may experience a change in your hearing and it will become more acute. You may also start to see flashes of white light, and hear crackling or white noise. From here your journey can take any direction. As you enter other dimensions, leaving the plane of your physical body, a sense of floating in the air may occur.

You may have some visionary experiences showing landscapes with vivid colours, spiritual beings or mystical realms. You may be compelled to sleep and dream or to sleep and remember nothing. You may see snakes, insects, your ancestors, you may want to stay awake and enjoy your journey with your eyes open, you may see people you do not know. Each journey is individual and you will have your own personal one. You can read about each of mine further on…

To drink this medicine takes great courage and in my opinion it is best to go to the ceremony with a reason for doing what you are about to do. Ask your questions, if the Madre thinks you need to know the answers she will tell you. Let her take you by the hand and show you what you need to be shown.

If you see anything you do not like ask her to take you away from it. She knows what you need and will hear you. She has the power to heal you, and she will.
