Ayahuasca Ceremony: Interview with Chilean Medicine Man, Gerardo Arrieta

Ayahuasca, pronounced iowaska is a South American traditional plant medicine used in spiritual ceremonies, historically by indigenous people of the Amazon. So why has it now become so popular around the world in many mainstream circles? Well, perhaps it's from hearing the countless stories pf people claiming that the psychoactive brew is not only an enlightening experience but that it even has positive benefits that are life changing.In this episode I had the amazing opportunity to go to the source and interview a Chilean medicine man who provides Ayahuasca ceremonies around the world. I had planned on the interview to be an 101 explanation of exactly what the spiritual tonic really is, how to use it, benefits and any potential side effects, but what I got instead was a wonderful story of self exploration and discovery of purpose. And, yes, we still cover ayahuasca, but not in the way I had thought.  So sit back and listen to Gerardo's story of following the path to discovering his life purpose, being visited by light beings at the age of 4, and searching for his tribe.*If you want more actual facts on Ayahuasca, please check out the link below to a great Healthline article.  It is important to know the facts before you make any decisions. Ideally, you want to plan in advance so you can detox your system from alcohol, meat, caffeine as well as meditate. And as always, please remember that this podcast is intended for entertainment value and not as medical advice. Always do your own research and consult a physician if you have any questions regarding your health.  Even though Ayahuasca is a natural plant medicine with a list of potential brain health benefits, it still has its own potential risks as well, including heart related issues.
