My Plant Medicine Journey – Ayahuasca, Huachuma (San Pedro) and Mushroom

Ayahuasca & Huachuma (San Pedro)

Before Ayahuasca, I’d never experienced any plant medicines in my life. I learned about Aya when I first started traveling in 2019, and I had been holding deep respect for her. I knew I was not ready then, but one day I would be. I was waiting for my calling.

Then that day arrived in May 2022, following a beautiful relationship with a wonderful person who was on his soul-healing pilgrimage to seek Aya. Our numerous conversations about Aya stirred something within me. When he left, he not only left a deep imprint of himself on my soul but also created space for the calling. In my dreams, I saw myself drinking Aya. When I woke up, I booked my trip to Peru.

2 weeks, 8 ceremonies in the deep Amazonian jungles, I found myself pulled into a vortex of the strongest forces I had ever encountered in my life. It was a journey marked by pain, fear, terror, surrender, tears, anxiety, purges, revelation, release, divine connection, hope, healing, and, above all, love. I emerged from this experience forever changed.

A significant aspect of my Aya journey involved healing personal trauma. While I won't share the details here, if you're curious, please feel free to reach out to me, and I'll be happy to share the stories in person.

After my encounter with Aya, I was guided to the Sacred Valley near Cusco, where I participated in a Huachuma (San Pedro) Ceremony. There, I had my first conversation with what I can only describe as 'God.' I recall lying beside the fireplace, facing floor-length windows that opened to the mountains, having a converstation with a voice in my head. Eventually, I noticed that it kept referring to itself as 'We.' Curious, I asked, 'Who is this 'We' that I'm talking to?' The immediate response was laughter, followed by the words, 'Oh Miya, where do we even begin...'

And so, they did begin to reveal a big secret – they identified themselves as a collective council responsible for overseeing the universe. They clarified that they are not akin to the 'God' referenced in various religions, such as Jesus, Buddha, or Allah. Rather, they exist as a collective form of energy known as 'God Universe Spirit,' 'Divine Source Energy,' or simply 'Source.' Emphasizing the concept of 'Oneness' above all else, they explained that they are not a deity with a defined shape or form but rather the origin and destination of everything, including each of us. This revelation led to a sudden realization in me: when we truly believe in the interconnectedness of all things, the illusion of separation dissolves.

That ceremony went on for a full 12 hours, and that was my only experience with Huachuma. Yet, to this day, I carry deep gratitude for him, because he connected me with the Source. I didn’t know at the time that a divine plan orchestrated every step I took, which would only be reveled to me a year and half later. Before the end of the ceremony, Huachuma told me, it was time to connect with mushrooms.

Mushroom

After returning to Mexico from Peru in 2022 and following the guidance received, I felt ready to encounter mushrooms. One night in September, a few friends and I gathered in my new apartment, sitting around my only piece of furniture at the time – a bare mattress – to initiate a ceremony.

Shortly after drinking the tea, I sensed an energy entering my body, accompanied by the same voice from the collective I encountered during the Huachuma Ceremony – Source. They were delighted to see me again and wasted no time. Right away, they revealed that I was to be taught how to channel. I was shocked to hear this, as I had only come across the concept of channeling before and thought of it as an ability that only a few were born with.

Suddenly, my body began moving on its own. They explained that this was how They would teach me from now on—by entering my body and instructing me on what to do. I want to clarify here. Many might associate this with being 'possessed.' However, traditional possession involves negative entities taking control, often resulting in individuals losing control and consciousness. Source, on the other hand, works only with Light and respects human Free Will. They provide suggestions for movement, and if I allow them, they continue their work through me. At any point, if I choose not to continue, they immediately stop. This practice is known as 'body sharing.'

What followed left me in pure amazement, playing dual roles as both the doer and the observer of my actions. I witnessed myself lowering to the ground, picking up a wand with my hand, and initiating a sequence of gestures with the wand – movements I had never done before. Upon completion, I was informed that this was how I could clear negative energy moving forward.

Following that, They opened a notebook and began drawing and writing, using a handwriting entirely different from my own, teaching me about how the Universe operates. Simultaneously, any questions lingering in my mind were met with instant answers dropping into my brain – a phenomenon known as Instant-knowing or Claircognizance. Like a newborn baby, I was engulfed in waves of astonishment, each moment more incredible than the last.

It didn't end there; in fact, that was just the beginning. Before I could comprehend it all, they directed me toward a friend, unraveling information about her that was entirely unfamiliar to me. Despite my apprehension, I decided to share what I was receiving. To my astonishment, she confirmed every detail, leaving me in another state of shock.

Following this revelation, they guided me to clear negative energy for her and conveyed messages meant to guide and support her. This ongoing interaction continued to unfold, revealing layers of connection and understanding that I had never imagined.

When I finally had a chance to sit down, I sensed another energy entering me. This time, it felt different. I found myself asking, 'Who am I? Who am I?' It was then that I noticed a change in my voice, and my shoulders slumped, as if I had aged significantly. The spirit then identified another friend and began communicating with him. It turned out to be his grandfather, who had passed away and sought to return to apologize and reconcile. I witnessed as the spirit stumbled toward my friend, offering a long hug before lifting away from me, and I returned to being myself.

Remarkably, there wasn't a trace of fear within me when all of this was happening. The amalgamation of astonishment, ecstasy, humility and power opened a path that I’d never envisioned. I felt one with Source, as they worked their magic through me to benefit those before me. Whispers came to me, 'You were born a channeler; help us heal the world.' It was at that moment when I decided to walk the alchemical path, becoming a true healer—a channeler dedicated to transforming divine source energy into healing light for Planet Earth.

The ritual thus began, with one ceremony held every month or so, dedicated to the sole purpose of connecting with Source for healing and transformation. Without fail, right after the Gateway in each ceremony, I would start channeling. Typically, at the outset, I would undergo a profound healing for my own unresolved traumas, some of which I wasn't even aware of. Following this, I would receive instant knowledge and teachings about mankind, gaining insights into the workings of both the 3D and spiritual realms and receiving guidance for my life. In the presence of other participants, I would receive messages to pass on to specific individuals and help with their healing process. I would also have constant visits from past souls who wanted to send love to their dear ones participating in the ceremony.

Meanwhile, new gifts continued to emerge within me. In one ceremony, They unblocked my throat chakra, and an angelic song in the form of light language poured out of me. I had stopped singing for over a decade due to throat issues, but ever since that moment, I would often spontaneously channel angelic songs in my daily life and in my sound healing sessions.

In another ceremony, I channeled the moon, and she danced through me in a way that my physical body couldn't achieve before the ceremony. I was informed that various parts of my body were activated to facilitate intuitive movement and a genuine connection with my body. Fast-forward to today, and I find myself dancing on a daily basis, a practice I had never engaged in before.

Following another ceremony, I unexpectedly discovered a newfound ability to draw — something I had rarely done since childhood — without any formal classes or training. The emergence of these new abilities has brought me immense joy, and to this day, I am still in awe of how they seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

Among all the gifts bestowed upon me, one element remained consistent. As my own healing journey progressed, and I drew closer to a healthier version of myself, details of my path as a healer were gradually unveiled. I was informed that They would guide the right people to me, and through me, They would facilitate healing work for these individuals. During these sessions, I would initiate automatic channeling, intuitively knowing what to say and do without needing explicit details of their past.

I remained doubtful for the longest time. How was I to offer healing to people based on this voice that belonged to an energy without shape or form? I had only channeled in ceremonies and never in real life without medicine, what if I couldn’t channel and didn’t know what to say in a session? What if I lost the trust of those sitting in front of me? These questions surrounded me, persisting in and out of the following ceremonies. I had fear — fear of failing those who came to me, seeking guidance and help.

Simultaneously, another conflict raged within me. Raised in a scientific environment and being an agnostic for the greater part of my life, I couldn't help but doubt the information and guidance They were providing. How much of it was truth, and how much was my own fabrication? Thoughts of being perceived as crazy or possessed by a demon loomed in my mind. However, that voice within me kept reminding me to 'trust in the invisible.' Gently yet steadily, ceremony after ceremony, they continued providing undeniable proof that I couldn’t ignore. In the meantime, witnessing the rapid transformation of my life through this process, I could no longer believe that I had made everything up.

Today, three years after my initiation into channeling the voice of the divine, I continue to work with Them to bring healing to the world. Each connection with Source fills me with profound gratitude. I know I would not have walked the path of a shamana without the unwavering knowing that I am never alone—that my presence on this planet is part of a greater plan, something far beyond my individual life. I am deeply humbled by the sacred work that flows through me, knowing that I am merely a vessel for something far greater.

With love and light,
