Can You Take Ayahuasca Solo?

Yes you can do ayahuasca alone, you don’t need a shaman, 80% of the healing, the plants can do alone. But if you need the extra push, the security and the healing, real shamans are always a profound help.

Helpful Tips:

Understand set and setting– Set is your psychological state and your intention for the experience. Setting is your physical environment. For beginners, I recommend you do it at home where it’s safe and quiet. You would want 6-8 hours of undisturbed time.

Test it out. I would personally recommend someone going the solo path to start small and slowly work your way up. For example, if you are to take dosage 40mL. You take 20mL to see if you’re allergic, have any bad reactions, and if this is even for you. Even the most popular and “safe” retreat centers forget this part. and end up tragically.

After you get more experience. You will realise that deep journeys aren’t always what’s needed for change. And that lots of small doses between the large ones coupled with meditation will help you to understand what’s really going on in these experiences and how they can serve you.
