Cons
Purging and Deep Cleansing Are Necessary.
The side effects of ayahuasca can be unpleasant. Nausea and vomiting, gastrointestinal distress, and anxiety are all possible side effects of this purification method. Thus, blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature can make all rise due to it. An overpowering sense of joy and an excess of strong emotions are also possible side effects. The basic tool to handle these side effects is surrendering. The more resistance you have, the stronger they come.
A Wrong Decision Can Be Dangerous
A shaman who claims to be highly skilled may fail to deliver on their promises while you’re on retreat. A bad trip with the wrong guide could result from this. A shaman who is not able to protect the ceremony exposes you to all the energies and entities around that want to take advantage of a human who opens layers to other dimensions without knowing how to handle this. Especially big groups of over 15 people are more challenging to handle for the guide. This could lead to an unpleasant experience, which would defeat the purpose of attending an ayahuasca retreat altogether.
