How to Know If You're Being Called to Ayahuasca - The Signs You May Be Missing

from Perfectly Broken · host Dani Stedman

For years, I heard people talk about being "called to Ayahuasca," and honestly, I didn't get it. I thought it sounded mysterious, confusing, and maybe even a little woo-woo. In this episode, I share my personal journey from skepticism and curiosity to experiencing a deep soul-level calling that ultimately led me to sit with this sacred plant medicine. I dive into what it actually means to be called to Ayahuasca, how to discern between curiosity, escapism, and intuition, why the medicine often begins working long before ceremony, and how learning to trust your body's wisdom can transform every area of your life. Whether you're curious about Ayahuasca, navigating a major life transition, or learning to listen more deeply to yourself, this episode will help you understand what it feels like when your soul is inviting you into something bigger.What you'll hear:The Calling: The calling is usually a quiet knowing, not a dramatic moment.Curiosity: Repeated curiosity can be one of the first signs that something deeper is unfolding.Life Transitions: Life transitions often create the space for a calling to become louder.Body Wisdom: Your body frequently knows the answer before your mind does.Preparation: The medicine often begins working long before you drink it.Emotional Healing: Old emotions, patterns, and wounds may surface as part of the preparation.Somatic Work: Somatic work can help you better hear and trust your intuition.Remembering: Healing is not about fixing yourself—it's about remembering who you are.Self-Trust: The most important thing is learning to trust your own inner wisdom.Divine Timing: Divine timing cannot be forced, but it can be honored.Download Your Free EFT Tapping Guide HereFeeling a deeper calling in your life and wanting support trusting your body’s wisdom?
