Changa-huasca

Caapi tea + Changa 100mg + 60mg

Hello, all.
This is an experience that happened yesterday. I usually try to integrate sessions before sharing them, but anyway, I wanted to share this with you :)

Context
I've had a lot of soft changa expereinces in the past few months but haven't had the opportunity / guts to go deeper. As mentioned here, I've had some strong andd sometimes really frightening ayahuasca experiences in the past 20 years and I know well what it is to go deep with the medecine, that's why I respect it so much.
This my first real Ayahuasca-like experience out of the shamanic context. I think I’m ready to handle whatever comes tonight.

First I start by stating my intentions for tonight. I want profound healing, and learning how to manage myself what I usually left to trustworthy shamans.

00:00 (9:45pm) I drink A full glass of caapi but there is still more in the bottle, seems like a little bit, I save it for later if needed.
Then I start cleaning the space with Palo Santo and Sage, Icaros are playing in the background. A great calmness arise, putting me in a perfect mood for what is coming.
I load 100mg in my new changa pipe. I bought it 3 weeks ago in Morroco and I love it.
Then the signal I defined earlier for starting smoking happen: my favorite changa music is playing, gamelans

00:45 (10.30pm) I smoke one big hit and close my eyes. Patterns of vivd colours start taking shape, then what I call the inside light turns on, (it’s like having a candle inside me), followed by a more structured entity looking a lot like this Alex Grey painting. It’s manifesting just in front of me and suddenly a kind of flow of soft light emanate from it and go directly into my chest while simultaneously asking for my permission. I hear the usual voice saying something like “now I’ll be with you”, I trust it, it seems full of good intentions and feels like a real blessing at this moment.
Just after that, a lot spirits / entities similar to the one that incorporated me surround me, I think of them as doctors, they are practicing some deep healing. That’s the moment when I realise, they are feeding of my fears, that’s what they do, what they love, they say “ feed me nightmares”. I can’t emphasise enough how deep was this realisation to me.
Then, the light slowly fades, I decide to wait a little bit before smoking again, and I do right, now an icaro is playing, sang by what I picture in my mind an old shaman. This is, again, so profound, I feel like the chanting is going the deeper it can inside me to tear out every bits of junk I have inside me.

01:15 (23:00) I smoke again the pipe, almost finishing it.
This time the visuals are less colourful, less obvious, but the overall feeling is pretty overwhelming, lots of thoughts, insights cross my mind.
I’m almost back to “normal”. And I’m thinking that I’ll probably won’t smoke again tonight, I’m thankful.

01:30 (23:15) Calmness… again… I am instructed to finish the caapi. I pour the remaining of the bottle into the glass, finally, it’s much more than what I thought. After stating my intentions, I drink the bitter liquid. I almost purge (which would be totally ok for me), but no, time passes and it stays with me. I’m still thinking that I won’t smoke more.

02:00 (23: 45) After all, it seems right, so I load the pipe with 60mg which I manage to smoke in one big hit. I hold the smoke for what seems an eternity and I hear the voice saying “breathe!”, I exhale… Then comes the big finale, the light show… as John Lennon said when asked “ what do you see when you turn out the light?”, “I can’t tell you but I know it’s mine”.
The effect of this last pipe lasts very long, for approximately 30 minutes I’m literally flying… grounded, but flying.

02:30 (00:15) I take the rattle, put it on my forehead, thank everybody that contributed all those years (knowingly or not) to make this night possible.
Finally I’m closing the space with some incenses and by spreading some Agua de Florida on my body.


Aho! ❤️

Congrats!

This is a very good mix of modern and traditional approaches. I'm glad that you found your way 🥳
Given the difficulty of finding leaves with high dmt ratio in the West, changa is a good alternative.
How much Caapi did you drink? I feel like one doesn't need much to connect this way.
I'd look into a simple bong just for changa; it should be easier to smoke long-term.
Your pipe looks awesome, btw. It reminds me of peace pipe or something similar.

All the best. It seems like that was quite a night 🙏❤️‍🔥

Thank you Northape! Yes I think i found my way!
I brewed 20g of Caapi leaves and added 2g of 30:1 resin, last night I drank the half of it, and yes, even though it wasn’t strong, it was enough to be in the good mood!
About the pipe, yes, I’m very happy with it. Before buying it I used a glass bong, but I prefer this pipe, changa tastes better with it. 👌
 
Hey! So I'm already planning my next session, this time, I want to add some chaliponga leaves to the caapi leaves and resin, so I can have a threshold dose of DMT, and on top of that smoke changa, as I did in the first post of this thread.
Is there anyone here that can recommend how much chaliponga should be added to reach a threshold dose?
 
Thank you for sharing.

Great combination isn't it? It's a bit precarious for me. I find the more harmalas you have, the more likely purging will occur. More often than not, when not doing pharma (so harmalas isolated from DMT) and smoalk changa after I have taken some harmalas or drank rue, I find myself "screaming into the bucket" (@metta-morpheus ) for a while.

One love

Yes, as mentioned before, I'm really an Ayahuasca partisan, but it's hard to have access to some good chacruna where i live at the moment, so I had to find a way to replicate the ceremonial context of ayahuasca but adapting it to an out-of-jungle context. All those little details like "where should I place this item on the altar?", "which incense should i use before smoking?" and so on, help me a lot in feeling secure in the space I created.
And yeah, I'm one of those strange people that find relief in screaming into the bucket haha! :LOL:

By the way, I want to thank you @Voidmatrix for your contribution on the few changa-related posts I found here on the Nexus, they helped a lot in preparing my first blend.
Now I'm looking forward to try my new blend in a few days, this time I used the following plants:
-17% 10x caapi leaves
-16% 10x chaliponga leaves
-5% Orange blossom
-5% Lemon Balm
-43% Spice
-14% Harmalas

I'll update this thread with a report if there is something of interest to share :)

Close you eyes, touch your altar, feel deeply with it, and then you'll likely know where everything goes. And like rearranging or arranging a room, if something seems a little off at some point, you'll notice and change it.

It's interesting. I find I don't get caught up in this, but that's because of my first experiences. I wasn't here, and I didn't remember what here was.

Also, I'm happy that my contributions helped you along your path a little.

One love

Yeah, that's what I meant, I'm not talking about confusion but of taking time to have things set so I can feel that I'm ready for whatever comes.

haha, my second ayahuasca ceremony was pretty much like this, The shaman was an elder, living in a remote village in the Amazon. His way of doing was probably all he knew and there was no altars, no fancy rituals. I dissolved in hell for what seemed an eternity, I had the most difficult experience of my life.
Then when I discovered that there were other ways to do it with other shamans, who take time to secure the space and make the people who drink the medicine feel more at ease, I felt that this was more reassuring, maybe that's why I feel safe with rituals.

This highlights some of my trust issues... I don't want to have to lean on anything very much to help me feel a certain way about my inclement experience. Instead I tend to torture myself. The trust issue comes from having skepticisms around anything I rely on... It's a weird little cycle. Distrust of the thing, distrust of myself.

I can take a journey in shorts and no shirt, get cold during it, and expect myself to suck it up... For some reason I feel I have to start by toughing things out.

I understand your need for making things more difficult (if I understand well)...
Man, a wool blanket is a must for any journey 😂
...Though nothing better than a wool blanket during a journey 😄
 
I used to have a big alter with a lot of crystals, quartz skull and cool shipibo stuff…some Andean stuff.

One day about 10 years ago I got tired of it and had a moment and threw it all into the ocean..burnt all my artwork lol.

Only thing I kept was my singing bowls.

I got more crystals since then but damn they are $!
Interesting, I can see myself in the future getting rid of these artefacts and stripping my ceremonial rituals to the strict minimum. For now they're part of my comfort zone.
Can I ask why did you throw everything?
