Please please do ALOT of research and feeling into who you decide to facilitate your medicine experience. It matters more than words can express.
I’ve heard horror stories of “shamans” forcing more doses on people saying the medicine says they have to, abandoning people mid journey leaving them alone, no medical (mental and physical) checks to make sure the medicine is safe and offering no post integration. GUYS this won’t just give you a bad experience; this will harm you, reinforce trauma you are trying to heal and create new trauma. Your brain is in such a delicate state during and post medicine.
Don’t just go for the cheapest option or trust a friends opinion. Do your research on the person. Are they trauma informed? Are they knowledgeable on mental health disorders? Are they knowledgeable about the medicine they are serving? Their molecular foundations and how they effect our bodies and minds? Are they doing the work themselves? What does their life seem to be? Talk to others who have worked with them. How does working with the person feel in your body? Is it a full bodies yes? If not, it’s a no.
This is powerful, deep work and who you choose to guide and hold space for you should be one of the most mindful, important decisions you make in your life.
When done with integrity, compassion, understanding and love it’s one of the most beautiful ways to honor, empower, show up and love yourself.
