IF YOU HAVE USED OTHER SACRED PLANTS BEFORE OR ANY KIND OF DRUGS - PLEASE COMMUNICATE THIS WITH ME BEFORE THE RETREAT.
Pre & Post Dieta
There are some restrictions and recommendations in the time before and after the Ayahuasca Retreat or Masterplant Dieta. The time before you work with Ayahuasca or do a Masterplant Dieta is called Pre Dieta, and the time after a Post Dieta.
The information below I share to avoid physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual damage and health risks.
Ayahuasca Diet & Preparation: Ayahuasca Dietary Restrictions
There are many different opinions about the pre-dieta. I suggest the safest option and the way that gives you the biggest opportunity to be open to receiving the plant energy. The plant works with us on very subtle layers mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and probably on more layers than we are aware of.
Whether or not you feel like you can do a longer fast or a cleansing beforehand is up to you as an individual, and depends on your lifestyle. Taking your pre-dieta seriously could make your Ayahuasca experience and Masterplant Dieta stronger and deeper.
I also recommend not to fast in a too intense way. The fasting should be in a healthy manner.
In general, I recommend you arrive as pure as possible. This includes all of your habits and all of the things you consume and take in. I don't speak only about food and substances. I speak also about which books you are reading, which movies are you watching, what kind of communication you choose to have, and so forth. In general, be mindful about what you take into your system.
Preparation Guidelines for our Masterplant Retreats:
-
No sex (or masturbation) for at least ten days before
-
No use any other Sacred Plant Medicine for at least two weeks, better one month before
-
No drugs (plants, chemicals, alcohol, etc.) for at least one month before
-
No use any other Sacred Plant Medicine for at least two weeks, better one month before
-
No use of chemical perfumed shampoo, body lotion, soap,..etc. at least one week before
Stop eating these foods at least one week before:
-
spicy food
-
red meat (no soup, no bouillon)
-
raw fish
-
salt, pepper
-
fermented food
-
dairy products (cheese, milk, butter)
-
caffeine, stimulants
-
energy drinks
-
carbonated drinks
-
sugar (fruits or a little honey is okay)
-
cacao, coffee (be careful with strong plants)
-
oil, no fat (Avocado not very fermented is okay)
-
all kinds of strong plant remedies (always make sure with your doctor that stopping is safe)
-
alcohol
Drugs / Substances:
Drug use (e.g. cocaine/opiates/amphetamines/MDMA, etc.) must stop at least one month before. Certain chemical combinations can be very dangerous and even cause death. I cannot accept you drinking medicine in our healing space if you cannot respect that.
Also based on energetic and spiritual aspects, certain drugs cause disruptions and cross the energies of the plants, which can have strong negative effects on the space, that is; the Maestra, me, yourself, and any other participant in such a case.
Please be honest with me if you di not follow these guidelines.
I don´t judge you, believe me, I have been there.
In case something happens, talk with me before the retreat starts so we can find a safe way.
In case you use marijuana regularly, it is best to stop one month before, at least stop 2 weeks before. If you don´t follow that guideline, this can cause energetic consequences in the cleaning and aligning process during the ceremony.
I´m happy to talk with you in person about that.
Be aware if you like to do a SAMA, a tree diet and if you want to benefit longterm from that, then it is highly recommended not to use any marijuana afterward and to use no other substances/drugs anymore.
If this is a topic for you, I´m happy to talk with you to share more in a 1:1 session.
Post Ayahuasca Diet After Retreat
The length of the Post Dieta after drinking Ayahuasca (only Ayahuasca!) depends on how long your retreat was.
-
After a 14 day retreat, it is good if you are careful with the same listed foods from the Pre Dieta for a few days
-
Don't have sex for at least two weeks after a 14 day Ayahuasca Retreat.
-
Red Meat and Raw Fish especially, should not be eaten for at least two weeks.
-
In the Shipibo tradition, where I'm learning, they recommend in general not to eat pork ever again in your life. Minimum wait for one month.
-
If you're using drugs (chemical or natural), be aware that they could cross energetically with your processes and the work that you did with Ayahuasca. The effect of the drugs can be very different afterward than it was before for you. Wait as long as possible before you start to take anything again. I strongly recommend waiting at least one month!
-
Using other psychoactive substances can be very confusing and disconnect you from Ayahuasca and the work you just did in the retreat. It can cause big disharmony in you. Don't risk that!
Of course, your post-diet needs to be approached individually. While it's your own responsibility, please reach out if you have any questions.
