How Do You Prepare Yourself For An Ayahuasca Retreat?

There are a few things that people planning to go for an Ayahuasca retreat can do to remain prepared for the experience. Although it is quite impossible for you to predict what will happen during the retreat, there are quite a few things you can do to keep yourself ready for whatever might occur. So, here we have come up with a quick guideline to help you during your Ayahuasca retreat.

 Diet:

 First of all, it is very important to make a certain diet before to release toxins and prepare your whole being to make a spiritual experience. Meat, salt, eggs, junk food, refined sugar, very spicy and heavy food is not recommended. Also, alcohol, coffee, chemical medication, marijuana and all other drugs should be avoided according to have a good experience. The longer the diet the better but you should do it at least 1 week before the ceremony.

Also, a mental diet is required: Take a break of social media, movies, and the consumption of entertainment in general, so you can open your senses to the messages of the sacred plant medicine. Otherwise, your mind is occupied by too much pictures and information that need to be processed.

 Meditate:

 Meditation is one of the most useful tools we have in hand to increase our focus and control our emotions. Ayahuasca ceremonies can sometimes become really intense, and our mind reaches a state of calmness. Meditation will allow you to maintain your focus. You will also not get distracted easily. You will be all set to face your fears with greater confidence. Also, for the best experience, you may opt for the Ayahuasca retreat Cancun.

 Yoga:

 You can also try to go for yoga before your Ayahuasca retreat. This is going to prepare your mind and body for the retreat. You will also be physically fit. You can bring about discipline in your life and become free from temptation. This is going to help you achieve a great state of productivity. You will also be able to make the most out of your Ayahuasca retreat experience. The chances of you getting physically sick during the retreat are also reduced. 

 Get close to nature:

 Getting close to nature is another way of helping you to calm your mind and body. By being in nature’s lap, you will be able to restore balance between you and the living nature. You can sit down under a tree and just look around and admire the beauty of our beautiful planet. You can try walking barefoot off the beaten tracks in a forest or planting a tree in your garden. This may sound strange to you, but you will feel a deep satisfaction in the connection with nature.

 Believe in the process: 

 You are never going to experience the beauty of the retreat until and unless you trust the process. You will have to believe in what will happen and prepare for all the challenges that might come before you. You will also be able to remain confident about how you are going to deal with the retreat. The process may sometimes feel complicated, and the retreat may involve a certain level of suffering, but the result is worth the pain. It would be best if you also tried to smile through the process because smiling has the power to bring about peace even during times of difficulties.

 To end with:

 This is how you can prepare yourself for your Ayahuasca restart. To know more about the Ayahuasca retreat Playa del Carmen, you may get in touch with us.
