In February 2016 i went to Pucallpa, Peru, for a 2 week shaman’s diet. The one hour boat ride got us to a Shipibo settling of 1000 called San Francisco. Road access ended when the bridge got detroyed by the rain. For 2 weeks we dieted in quasi isolation, eating the same oil-free & salt-free vegetarian meals, and attended 5 Ayahuasca ceremonies, whilst dieting on another master plant for about 10 days. Never has Ayahuasca been this intense. Bufo Alvarius was not far off.
For the whole duration i took notes, as some deep shit hit my fan. These are the highlights from my dieta diaries.
May you be well !

Part 1 of 7 (more will be uploaded in a few moments) :
I was asked in a comment on my YouTube channel to make a video about the difference between Bufo Alvarius and Ayahuasca.
I forgot to mention something very important in the video : Ayahuasca requires thorough and lengthy preparation and also has many contra indications, Bufo Alvarius does not have so many (keep off anti-depressants, though). Intention, however, is still required and/or recommended.
I used to struggle but i found out why. In this brief video i explain the 3 simple tricks i use to succeed every time. I hope this helps you.
May you be well !

P.S. I use Kelly Howell’s Brainsync meditation tracks, which have helpful music & sounds as well as, sometimes, guided word and/or breathing exercises.
I use ‘Awakening Kundalini’ in the mornings and at night whilst going to sleep i use either ‘The Secret To Attracting Wealth’ (track 3) or ‘The Secret Universal Mind Meditation Vol.2’. All of the latter are amazingly good.
And other options are available out there, so if those don’t work for you just try something different. I found the Meditainment tracks to be very light and not convincing. Tara Brach, on the other hand, i liked. It was music-free and very very effective — also highly recommended.
[Update 2017-11-08: because i have been using Kelly Howell’s guided MP3 meditation tracks so much, and because i recommend them wholeheartedly, i have decided to register on her Brainsync website for an affiliate link to share with you. I never share anything “monetised” unless i use it myself, and this is in fact the first time i use any form of monetisation on this blog or on my YouTube channel. It won’t cost you anything, it just means that the blog receives a % on what you purchase if you are a new customer to Kelly — i hope you don’t mind. I do not see any harm in this, i hope you shall not either. Thank you).

I have often mentioned London Real here, and am glad i found that site because with it i found a wealth of wisdom in people such as Peter Sage.
About a month ago i registered with the London Real Academy for the full year (just under 300 USD). The idea is to upgrade your peer group, have accountability buddies and get access to exclusive webinars & ‘success secrets’ that have been removed from the regular free London Real content.
I requested my accountability buddy and filled in all the forms etc but after 3 weeks i had heard nothing back, despite trying all channels of communication available to me : email, the LRA site’s messenger, the private Facebook group, etc. But one day i found a broken link so i reported it via the support form on the LRA site: to my surprise i got a message back from Julian, one of the managers, within 24 hours. So i tried that for my accountability buddy. No luck.
Yesterday someone posted on the FB group that they were looking for the link to cancel…and that’s when things started getting strange.
Here is a brief account of my brief stay at the London Real Academy. Not quite in line with the rosey nice façade you get from Brian Rose before you join. They go to great lengths to get you to join but once you’ve joined things don’t quite follow the official story line…
Update (2016-07-30) : you will find updates on YouTube in the comment section of the video below. In a nutshell, i have now joined a group i prefer, closed but free, and which is populated with various people who left the LRA and/or felt ripped off by the lack of service/replies. I was almost certain i would rejoin the LRA but i am now convinced that is not a good idea. Again, my experience is my experience, yours could be better, i don’t know. Good luck if you choose to join.
