:d  Cecil, you sound like a wonderful and brave Soul!

I can feel from your account that you are quickly going to overcome whatever is hindering you, the fact that you straight forward jumped on the plane to Peru proves your strengh and will: lots of people hesitate for years before daring to take a sip of the Medicine!

I can relate to your dissapointment after the first session: I also had moments of doubt when all I got the first time were mild uninteresting visuals.

The next session sure lived up to my expectations with 2 hour purge and psychic brain surgery (trust or panic)! I also understood that sometimes, the Medicine needs some time to 'scan' you before going on, a process which we might consider as 'no effects' at the moment.

Imho, partaking with a shaman seems to be a good idea in your case, if you already found a good one, all the better, and maybe it would be a good thing to take a longer vacation next time to be able to work as deep as needed with the Medicine.

Take care!
