My Ayahuasca Trip to Peru - Part Two - Night One With Grandmother - Episode 125

December 5, 2025·37m

My Ayahuasca Experience – Part Two: Night One With Grandmother There’s a moment before every first ceremony when fear tightens, identity resists, and truth begins to breathe. Night One starts long before the cup touches your lips, on the plane, in the tension between who you’ve been and who you’re afraid to become. By the time the sun drops behind the Andes and your name is called in the maloca, you realize there is no turning back. In this episode, I take you into that moment… the doorway between the known and the unraveling. Grandmother met me instantly, no warm welcome, no gentle reunion. My confidence was my mistake, and she humbled me with a cosmic slap that dragged me into the gravity of the real work. What followed was a war in space that was really a war inside myself: fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of collapse, fear of not being able to protect the people I love. And just when the darkness felt overwhelming, support arrived in the form of white light, my wife’s essence, reminding me that even in the deepest battles, I’m not alone. Then came the purge… the clearing… the release. And what unfolded next were two funerals. One for the fear that my daughter needed saving. One for the fear that money could crumble my life at any moment. Grandmother melted my illusions, literally, and showed me the quiet truth beneath survival: Humans are here to love. Everything else is noise. Night One left me humbled, emptied, and changed. I wasn’t done healing… but something irreversible had shifted. Follow Dr.
