How important is it to follow the diet before doing the ceremony. Being open minded seems to be more important. Purging is a something associated with the ceremony. This is sometimes done by smoking tobacco. Is it important to belief that you are going to become healed? Or is only an open mind necessary? Being skeptical is not a problem as long as try to release most of your expectations and it is balanced with open mindedness.

Another aspect from ayahuasca is the symbology of the snake and how it could also be connected to the past. In the Inca tradition the Condor was connected to the hanan pacha that is the upper world. Our middle world is the kay pacha it is connected to the Puma. And the underworld is connected to the snake, it’s called ukhu pacha.
