29: Ayahuasca and What Comes Next

29: Ayahuasca and What Comes Next Ayahuasca is way more than just “showing up and throwing up.” It helps your brain to rewire neuropathways, it allows your body to purge things that are no longer serving you, it heals the body and boosts mental well-being. With proper integration post ceremony, it has the power to create profound, positive changes in your life. Fresh off of a 3 day Ayahuasca ceremony, Jess reflects on back on her most recent medicine journey, the positive changes she is experiencing post ceremony and what comes next ... which is where the "integration" comes in. Integration is such an important part of the healing journey as it allows you process and make sense of everything that came up during ceremony. But what exactly does integration look like? In Episode 30 of The Optimized Life Podcast, Jess and Amy take you through the sweeping narrative of experiencing Ayahuasca.
