This is the mind not as master, but as mirror. The stories you tell yourself will color the entire ceremonial experience.
In this preparation, you bring awareness to those stories, lovingly, without war. You soften the defenses. You listen to the quiet voices that have been waiting to speak. You learn to distinguish trauma from truth, projection from presence.
This is not about rewriting your past. It is about opening to a new perception, one that makes space for grace to arrive.

🧘 Close your eyes and recall the triggering moment
🧠 Ask: “What belief or story was activated here?”
✍️ Write it out as clearly and honestly as possible

🌫 Is it tight, defensive, absolute, or critical?
🩶 Breathe into the space where it lives in the body
🧲 Say: “I witness this pattern with curiosity, not shame”
2 • Practice Gentle Inquiry
1. Use soft questions to unravel certainty
💯 “Is this 100% true in every situation?”
🧑🧒 “What if this thought is a younger version of me seeking control?”
🕊 “What would happen if I released this belief just for today?”
2. Shift into expanded perspective
🔮 Ask: “How might ceremony invite me to see this differently?”
🌈 Write 1–2 alternative lenses or reframes
📜 Choose the one that feels most freeing, not most ‘correct’
3 • Strengthen Mental Flexibility

Ceremony Intention Crafting

🪶 Let the response rise without editing
📖 Journal 1–3 words or feelings that feel like soul-truth
2 • Clarify Desire Beneath the Story

🫁 Notice if your breath opens or contracts
🌱 Choose the phrasing that brings peace, not pressure
3 • Write the Intention

💫 Keep it short, clear, and emotionally resonant
🪄 Example: “I am willing to remember my wholeness.”
2. Speak it into your field
🗣 Say it three times with your full presence
🎶 Optionally sing or whisper it while touching your heart
🕊 Let it ripple into the unseen
4 • Seal with Trust
1. Surrender the outcome
🙏 Say: “This or something greater, for my highest good”
🌌 Offer your intention to the spirit of Ayahuasca
🔥 Imagine it landing in the center of the ceremonial fire
2. Release with reverence
🌬 Blow gently into your hands
🌿 Bury the written intention in soil or place it on your altar
💖 Say aloud: “I trust. I allow. I receive.”
"I meet myself in thought, not to control, but to care.
I witness the voices within me and listen without fear.
I open the mind like a window at dawn,
Letting in silence, softness, and sky."
✨ What story about myself am I most afraid to let go of?
✨ Where do I still confuse fear with truth, or control with safety?
✨ Can I let the unknown be a teacher instead of a threat?
Your mind is not an enemy, it is a translator of your experience.
You do not need to silence it. You only need to relate to it differently.
Let the thoughts come and go like clouds.
Let your awareness be the open sky.
