"Start small"

 

[Cheop]

I tried several doses of MAOI (Syrian Rue) on its own to see what it was like before using it with anything else which was definitely worthwhile for me. But just do whatever it takes to make sure your mind is as at ease as it can be when you do the Ayahuasca.

You can never do too much research!

SWIM absolutely agrees with Cheop. Try the harmines et. al. solo a few times. And research builds confidence; it is a great aspect of integration.

been doing research according to faq on this page the moais of reversible making then less dangerous then irreversible ones quote from faq The necessity of the strict dieting for ayahuasca is misinformation, an exageration.

Harmines et al are not visionary in the same way DMT is - they potentiate, pave the way for the tryptamine to act on the serotonin sites in our nervous system... And IMO better safe than sorry re: food. And best to be not full, not hungry. fruitful voyaging...

Sorry, but incorrect friend. Check out this thread for a recent discussion on this territory.

I would recommend starting with a caapi only brew for sure. You would not be missing out on anything by using no dmt bearing plants in the brew.
It is healing, visionary and a beautiful experience is caapi brew.

Try that a few times until you feel comfortable with the caapi harmalas before adding DMT bearing plants.

Check this out for starters.

Yeah, the "all about aya" thread that xtechre posted a link to is very helpful. Starting with Caapi only is very helpful and reassuring before starting journeys with DMT added. But what has helped me the most is reading as much as I can find, and spending a lot of time going over my intentions and deciding why exactly it is that I want to drink Aya, why I'm so interested in it, and how it can help me. And as was already stated, start small. It's a good idea to brew a little more than you'll need, and start small - waiting for effects before drinking anymore if you feel it's right. You can always drink more or try again another time.. but if you've taken more than you might need at that time, the realization that you still have several hours to go can be very scary.
