Râpé for rookies

If you know the answer to the below questions then don’t waste your time, this article & its accompanying videos are not for you. 🙂

What is râpé ?
How do you use it ?

Below you will find two videos for rookies, made by a rookie, telling you & showing you what this medicina is and how to use it.
I even filmed a whole ceremony i did for myself this morning (feel free to speed it up or fast-forward, there are bits where i am processing / crying and not talking).

I’m going through a rough period with my partner and it came up during my process, as you can see.
So if it disturbs you to see a man cry then avoid the second video. 😉
I have plenty more work to do on myself, and recent events have been forcing to me evolve & adapt, to grow a bit too, hopefully.

Râpé is a true ‘medecine’, powerful, and not to be taken lightly. It can knock you out for hours, make you throw up, make you travel to other spaces, vibrate, connect you with your higher Self, and so on.
So start lightly, with soft râpé, in small amounts, and NEVER abuse it. Do NOT get addicted to it, treat it with respect, and by that i mean take it when you feel a true calling from within your heart. When you know you need to work with it.

There are thousands of types of râpé, mostly from Brazil, but also from other Amazonian areas. It is, as far as i understand, usually made from Mapacho (black tobacco) and ashes of plants/trees. Every râpé has its purpose. Some are designed to make you purge, in preparation for another medecine, such as Ayahuasca, maybe, while others may be intended to open the heart. I am by no means a specialist, my experience with goes back about 4 years and a few dozen applications, some in Mexico, some in Europe, and most of my experience has been acquired here in the past few weeks, through almost daily work and self-application.

It has helped me gain many insights, i think. For a minute or two, it usually connects me to my higher Self, where answers reside or where they stem from.

Focus on your breathing, calm the mind, avoid trying to understand / figure things out and breathe, let your higher Self, this awareness, this consciousness provide you with the answers…and you shall feel them. It’s never about understanding with these things, always about feeling. Remember that on your journey with these medicines : breathe, relax, and start over. You’ll be fine. 😉

Finally, a word about my process in the second video, the full “self ceremony”.
You can see me crying because i feel i am losing my partner, whom i love with all my heart, and i do. There are only two things i know: i love her with all my heart, and i don’t know how to resolve the current issues we are facing as a couple. Or were facing, for i see no solution, precisely, so i am now focusing on moving on.
The fact is there is nothing that needs resolving by me for us. I have work to do, evolutions to make in my daily life, habits to break, new habits to create, new perspectives to gain and old ones to let go of…and so does she. We got to this situation together, it was perfectly mutually created. All i need to do is love myself more, love her without the pain of attachment & loss, and live my life as best i can. Whether that will include her or not, i don’t know. I know only that i shall most likely always love her in a very deep way. She is the only woman i have ever been with for more than a day that i feel i love completely.
However, i know i can love other women completely too, and the stalemate situation we are in needs to end. It will very soon, and that actually brings me relief and optimism. 🙂  Sure, i will do a lot more crying & feel a lot more pain than i suspect right now, but on the other side of that i will be better off. Out of a decaying relationship that has no room for change, into the open. Into the wild. 😉

I hope these videos are useful to you in some way. Don’t forget to subscribe to the blog & also the video channel, and encourage me with a kind comment or a like if you feel like it. 😉 It’s always nice to receive this. 🙂

Thank you, and be you, shine. Love. Embrace. Feel. 🙂
All the best,
Yann

you-are-enough

I am enough. You are enough.

With or without you. With or without them.

And fuck everything else.

There you have it: today’s spark of wisdom. 😉

Great videos you might not remember

I am eyeballing you

Some of you will know this about me: i’m old! Oh yes, and i’m too sexy for my shirt, plus a few other things, open up your fruitcakes! YEAH BABY YEAH!
Are you catching these references yet? If not, please pay attention. Geez, it’s like being at kindergarten with you youngsters all over the place!

First up, we have a video that, admitedly, simply doesn’t qualify as ‘great’, some might argue it’s not even ‘good’! So what on earth is it doing here, i hear you scream. Well, i thoroughly like the tongue-in-cheek attitude of our “singer” here, and they all seem to be having a bunch of fun, whilst making fun of people who thing they are just too hot…for anything. 🙂 Urban legend has it that the two bulky brothers in the band owned a gym where many models could be seen, and they decided to take a poke at them in this song and video.
Makes me a tad nostalgic of the era, which is the early 90’s, in case you didn’t know. Which you probably didn’t. Hence why i said it. 😉
In addition to the jaunty attitude of ‘Fred’, let’s call him that, we have the raunchy extras, which are probably largely responsible for the 20 million views this video is currently boasting.
I used to think of Right Said Fred as a one hit wonder, but a quick look into their bio shows me they sold 30 million records, had number 1 hits in dozens of countries, and even were the first band since The Beatles to go to number 1 in the US with their debut single, a record that was over 25 years old at the time of ‘Too Sexy’, which also won them some fancy awards.

Ladies & genitals, I’m too sexy for my shirt:

 

Next up, a classic that dates back all the way to 1986. Not only a great song, perfectly produced, the video has to be one of the best in music video history. That’s Peter Gabriel, by the way.

 

 

And, last for today’s selection (stay tuned for more!), we have something wildly unexpected from a special & brilliant actor, who is apparently a gifted dancer to boot.
Christopher Walken is indeed Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice.

The Word

When everything’s wrong, it makes it right.
You’re never alone, you have it inside.
And i know sometimes we forget it,
But, i swear, it’s always been there.

Don’t know what you were
Expecting, when you don’t
Love yourself, you love
Nothing at all

When we are lost, it turns on the light.
When we feel empty, it makes it all bright.
And all we need to do is remember
That inside our chests is where the answers reside.

I like the way you wear your clothes,
I like the way you don’t.

I like it when you say to me that,
If i will you won’t.

If you hadn’t found the best in me,
Would you be here today?

I’m just wondering,
Why you’re wandering away…

Poetry Day

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, a masterpiece by AC/DC

Today is official poetry day, here, on this blog. And because some of you tend to think that i’m perfect, or not technically human (hehe, yes, i am joking, but, yes, it happens), i thought i’d share with you some of my favorite lines. To shock you back into reality. 😉

You got problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
He’s double dealin’ with your best friend
That’s when the teardrops start, fella
Pick up the phone
I’m here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We’ll have ourselves a ball

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap

If you got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain’t got the guts
She keeps naggin’ at you night and day
Enough to drive ya nuts
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It’s time you made a stand
For a fee
I’m happy to be
Your back door man

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap

Concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT
Done dirt cheap
Neckties, contracts, high voltage
Done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.
——————————
We owe this sheer poetry, of course, to the Dead Poet, Bon Scott, and his crew, Angus & Malcolm Young. How anyone can not love AC/DC is beyond me. True genius at work.

How to get rid of intense or gory dreams

01 Jan 2020 Leave a comment

by yannwithayahuasca in Health tips, Unrelated to Ayahuasca Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I’d like to share this simple tip with you because it’s just too good to keep to myself.

Recently, i started going to see a Tibetan doctor, who does acupuncture and various other things. Once in a while she also prescribes some chinese herbs.

She often asks me about my dreams. And, as we were moving things in the various organs, i started getting very vivid and, sometimes, gory dreams. Horrible, and exhausting. She says the liver needs detoxing, and the blood is making its way from the liver through the heart and this is what’s causing the dreams. Well, i have little opinion on that, all that matters to me is the result. And her tip works just like magic! Every time.

So, if you are having dreams that leave you exhausted, vivid or just plain horrible, do this every night just before bed : drink a small cup of hot water with a big spoon of apple cider vinegar, and a small spoon of honey.

The water doesn’t need to be super hot. But do make sure you are using proper apple cider vinegar : read the label. The same goes for the honey, although most honeys will say they are when in fact they are a mix of real honey and high fructose glucose syrup (not good!). Most vinegars are just coloured alcohol with some flavouring, beware & choose wisely.

So far, i have tried it four times, with success every time. In between i have sometimes forgotten or decided to try sleeping without it, and the wild insane dreams came back. Tried the vinegar trick again, and the dreams disappeared. Awesome!

I hope this will be useful to you. It’s much better than taking pills, i’m sure you’ll agree. 🙂

Oh, and Happy New year ! 🙂

May 2020 bring you health, joy and love, happiness and prosperity. Enjoy, and don’t forget…courage ! That’s where success is : in courage. If you have no clue what i’m talking about, look up ‘Dr Hawkins chart’, you’ll find it very interesting.

Kelly Howell’s Brainsync collection is currently 50% off

I don’t often promote much here, that’s not the purpose of this blog, which i think is not even monetized at all (at least i have never received a cent from it!).

For those of you following this blog or my YouTube channel, you might recall that i use special mp3s for meditation & before falling asleep. Well, i still use the same ones, and i feel a positive effect from them on my mood & on my dreams. I highly recommend them.

It just so happens that there is currently 50% off on the Brainsync website (CDs & MP3s) with promo code PEACE2019. I thought that was worth mentioning.

Which tracks do i use?

Morning : Awakening Kundalini (includes breathing exercises). Wakes me up & gets me in a good mood, motivated.

Night before sleep and whilst sleeping : Attract wealth #3 is designed to put you to sleep and works real well. I also use The Secret Universal Mind Meditations, they are very empowering and also great for sleeping.

Some of her tracks are great to listen to all day, on speakers, such as the relaxing Attract Love While Working, or Release & Let Go.

When you register on her website, you get a free track, and you’ll receive future promo codes automatically.

Remember to use them daily for best results.

Enjoy!

Retreats in Europe

by yannwithayahuasca in Bufo Alvarius (5-meo-DMT), Kambo, Unrelated to Ayahuasca Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

*** Update 2019/12/10 ***
Our 2020 retreats will be:
– April 22-26 (five days)
– July 2-5 (four days)

We speak English, Czech, Français, Espanol.

If you’re looking for a short retreat that’s easy to get to from anywhere in Europe, this may interest you.

It is the best preparation for the Bufo Alvarius that we have managed to put together so far.

It consists in a Kambo detox, a bit of yoga and some meditations, a De-armouring workshop (this is an initiation to the powerful yet simple to apply bodywork that helps release blocked energies), and Bufo (usually outside).

The location is a truly lovely & peaceful recently renovated retreat center in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. You will find cheap & quick flights to Prague (PRG) from anywhere in Europe, and from there car pooling can usually be arranged. It’s about 2 or 3 hours by car from Prague, depending on the traffic.

We bring our own gourmet vegan chef, who cooks exclusively for us for the whole time we are there. The retreat center is privatised : we have it to ourselves. 🙂

Outside, there is a multitude of spots to choose from for the Bufo experience, and we are free to move based upon the time of day, the sun/shade, and the feeling of each spot.
Inside, there is a large wooden meditation room we use for Kambo, and also for Bufo when the time of day or the weather do not allow for an outdoor session.

The center has bedrooms available, and also mattresses in the large meditation room. Camping outside is also possible (you will need to bring your own tent / sleeping equipment). We recommend you bring mosquito repellent too.

There is a private lake nearby. The fields also belong to the property. The peace & calm are palpable. 🙂


Our indoor space for Bufo when outdoors isn’t a possibility.

This is our 4th retreat, the last one (in June/July 2019) was fully booked). My 75 year old mother attended as a client last time, and got so much from it that she asked to return this time, in September.

The next date is in a few days : September 6 to 9, 2019. So if you’re reading this you can still make it, should you wish to. All you need to do is book online using the following link :
https://bufoalvariuscz.as.me/kambufo-retreat

And you can contact bufoalvarius[at]seznam.cz for more information. Replace the [at] by @, of course. I do that to avoid bots reading the email address and spamming us. 😉

We get pretty good feedback from these retreats, and next year we hope to schedule 3 :
– 2 similar four day retreats
– 1 longer seven day retreat.

So if you can’t make this event, don’t worry, email us anyway and we’ll update you on future events. You can also reach me via Facebook should you prefer. But email via the contact page on this blog is my preferred method of contact.


Just one of the many available spots we use outside, depending on what feels best at that time of day.

Also, if you are interested in just Kambo or just Bufo, that’s possible too. At this retreat or at other times during the year. Just contact me.
We have people flying over from everywhere to do sessions here. Sometimes accomodation is also possible, although we recommend you find an Air B’n’B : you can find great deals in Prague, AND enjoy a weekend in this beautiful city at the same time.

We have an emailing list as well as Facebook groups, so you can easily get all the information you need. We are available before and after events, at no extra cost, for an unlimited amount of time, unless some other facilitators, who just ignore emails or charge a lot of money for assistance. We are available on 4 types of instant messaging plus other means. Talk with us any time you like or need.

The cost of our retreats is rock bottom : we charge very little for the actual ceremonies/sessions, a large chunk of the cost goes into accomodation and meals. We do this to make these “ancient medicines” available to as many as possible. Having said that, these things are not for everyone. If in any doubt, get in touch with us and we will advise you as honestly as possible as to the best options for you.

All the best,
Yann
