Hi Shelly, it is a pleasure to reach out to you, the rarest of the divine's creatures, an African American female on the spiritual path that doesn't identify with being first and foremost, Christian. You have brought Mother Aya front and center to my attention yet again, and while I promised myself long ago that I would not use psychedelics to support my life long journey to Self Realization, Mother's medicine really is something entirely different. My preference for an insectless space and smart speakers in every room suggests I still have have some significant choices to make down the road, but perhaps a personal introduction to Mother Aya would facilitate some of that. No longer whether, but when, and soon. I hope to share the delicious vastness you so obviously enjoy.
This made me smile and chuckle! I know that I too was worried about the insects when I first started and absolutely DID NOT want them around. But Mama Aya showed me that they were MEDICINE too. It's not just the plants. The plant Ayahuasca allowed me to see that what's in her is in everything! The stars, The moon, The insects, The trees, The animals, The Shaman, the humans, the soil, the sky, the fruit, the veggies, the air.....it's all ACTIVATED with her wisdom. As a matter of fact, I was one of the only folks in my group who didn't get bit by insects and we spent 3 weeks in the Amazon. I know so much of that had to do with me Accepting them, instead of being Afraid or Bothered by them. I know when you're ready you'll make the journey and be well on your way. Happy to make your acquaintance and I know you'll journey well!
I am on that path. The plant is calling me. In divine time.🙏🏿
Welcome in ☺️
Thank you for sharing this. I learned about Ayahuasca years ago via the internet. Whenever I asked friends or family about it I was quickly dismissed as "that's some mo' whyte folks ish you on..." Blah blah blah. No one would entertain the conversation and I've had sooooo many questions. You have addressed many of them. Thank you.
Im so glad to hear that you stuck with your inquiry despite being dismissed. It’s definitely a plant for anyone who’s ready to heal with it. Let me know if you have anymore questions💫
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT, just WAIT!!! Tears rolling down my face! Shelly, I need you to know that this entire video is highly, vibrationally LOADED!!! I’m gonna finish this comment, but I will re-listen to this again and I’m sure will receive even more. But, I already know that I would love to speak with you personally if that resonates-the message about Amazon is ABSOLUTELY, COMPLETELY, and LITERALLY from the voice of the INFINITE GOD! The world needs to hear this message, and is hearing it through YOU!!! And, now it has literally been deposited within my spirit in a profound way that I would have never, ever believed it could!!!! Thank You so much for following your heart about posting this video! If this message does not reach and penetrate anyone else, KNOW that I have heard and allowed it to penetrate my very Being!! And, there is no doubt that GOD, the Infinite Field of Love has directly provided this! Thank You! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this heart inspired comment. I was definitely moving in alignment and obedience when I recorded this video. I'd seen so many videos of people talking about what happened in the Aya ceremony and I felt what was missing were the universal lessons that needed to be shared. Everyone's "in ceremony" experience is going to be different however it's helpful and healing to listen to how people transformed their thoughts, beliefs and lives post ceremony. I'm now 2 years post my first Ayahuasca ceremony and I'm still living the benefits of it. I've since reconnected with Ayahuasca and other plant medicine ceremonies several times since this recording and each time is a deeper cleansing and a renewed surfacing with more light to share and instructions to follow. I'm available to chat via IG @shelleywellness, feel free to link me there. Be well.
"taste the food as it is, don't pile up on seasonings, don't treat me as if i'm bland, because i'm not, make room for my natural taste to heal and expand you, meet me where i am as i am, without adorning me with spice . taste me just as i am, spend some time in my naked arms, let me teach your taste buds a new way, a way that doesn't overwhelm the system. don't worry, you're gonna use spice and you're gonna use flavor, because your human sensibilities require it, and your body system requires balance, so let me show you balance. eat what i offer."
i don't know what it is, but this shook something inside of me in a way i can't quite explain.
what beautiful wisdom you have shared with us. thank you so much for sharing this wisdom from mother aya. wishing you all the best.
Wow! Reading this just gave me chills again, even though I know I spoke it lol. I remember when Mama Aya shared this with me and I wrote it down, it hit me so deeply and since then I’ve been enjoying more of nature’s food as it simply is without trying to do too much to it. Life changing truly. Thanks for commenting!
Going next month, July 2025... been on my spiritual journey for 5+ years now, and forever GRATEFUL for the awakening
So happy to be living in a time where folks like you are doing the work. Our world will be blessed by your healing💫
wow. I love your Amazon talk. Your word "Restore your relationship with nature" has a massive purpose now because the world is getting hotter each year. El nino is no joke. We need The Trees, The Forests, The Jungles and The Green
Yes we’re at a place where restoration is necessary 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your journey I don't know what led me to you but I'm glad I ended up here.
As a person who is terribly afraid of insects mostly cockroaches (and a native NYer born and raised) I appreciate you giving a different perspective on their existence. What u said about the chemicals that are used in pesticides killing us and our environment, I didn't take this into account until becoming a pet owner. The thought of one of my pets dying or becoming severely ill from ingesting an insect that was sprayed with chemicals mor-ti-fies me! So I loved how u said you're now afraid of the Orkin man. Thank you so much for shedding light on insects existence. I can't wait to one day meet mama Ayahuasca ❤
This makes my insect respecting heart so happy! I love when people get it and wake up to the truth in the message. We’d be so much healthier without spreading chemical toxins, hate and fear over the Earth and consequently over ourselves. Blessings to you and I wish the same for you - that you get to sit with Mama Aya soon💫
Therapy is the foundation that preps for the plant medicine journey
It depends. Not for everyone. It’s not necessarily a prerequisite - however for some it can be helpful to have processed and have insight beforehand. The plant medicine journey is also therapy! What may take some folks years to process in therapy, a plant medicine journey can do in 1 sit. So it all depends on the person and their unique journey.
Feeling the energy in your delivery of the message imploring us to “sing your own song,” in beautiful harmony, sends chills to my core. A wonderful reminder of grandmother’s wisdom. Thank you for trusting and singing your song 🙏
Thank you Johnny for this reflection. Singing our song is the way, the truth and the light. Journey well 💫
So so grateful for you sharing your experience and how it changed you. I have my first ceremony coming up a week from today, and I’ve also felt that sense of death… death to the current version of me and new life will spring with my next self. Your videos have been so helpful and comforting, thank you again 🙏🏼
You’re so welcome. Journey well next week!
@Nicole Thoman - Please share your recent experience.
Whew chile, wea do I begin? D fact dat I'm mid life in age yet u, a yungin bringing so much back to my conscious realization?, my inner song? my detachment from consumerism (as possible)? Amazon copyright infringement? D many colonized concepts of not only rCelfs but also oda life forms?
I stopped and rewind to sit with, mediate on and unpack much of d Wisdom.....I related at last 3 times, taking me over 6hrs to integrate n2 my concious being. Not dat anything is new but u speak n a way dat kwikens my Spirit💪🏾✊🏾
Spirit has been dealing with many on all d same things u experienced and I just haven't had d discipline to follow thru. Wish my financial situation allowed me to support u and even tek an Ayahausca journey myCelf but until such time, I give d highest praise to d Most High fam u and ur sharing💯👐🏾👏🏾🖤 peace, love & light, Beautiful One. Ase
Love that the video resonated with you on so many levels and through so many topics. I appreciate your comment and sharing. I pray you get to sit with Mama Aya in due time 💫☺️
On Saturday, 1-21-23 I will be particitpating in an Ayahuasca ceremony. I'm so glad I found your videos. I just have to tell you that you resemble my Jamacia friend Judy so much! I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to learning more delicious vegan recipes.
Wishing you all the best in your Aya Journey! Thanks for subscribing as well 😊 I must have one of those faces, I’m always being told I resemble someone💫
Hi Shelley, just wanted to comment to say I’ve watched a lot of videos on this subject and I’ve found your explanation’s Great, one of the best videos on ayahuasca experience’s that I’ve watched 👍🥰
Glad it was helpful! Sharing the lessons are so important😊
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome💫
You’re really resonating with me. Gonna be doing my first sit next week and this info is very helpful
Sending you lots of light 💫 for your first sit.
I have absolutely enjoyed this video. Thank you and Blessings
You’re so welcome💫
Wow. An amazing insight. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
You’re so welcome!
PREACH!!!!’❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am grateful
You’re most welcome! I pray it serves your journey well💫
Beautiful! Looking forward to my time.
👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you for making these videos… hope you progress to a really good future…
Thank you and you're most welcome!
Thanks for sharing your stories.
Thanks for listening and commenting. It’s my pleasure to share this part of my journey💫
I love your song! So beautiful 🥲💓
Thank you! That song was a gift from one of the other participants who sat in ceremony with us. It’s stuck with me ever since!
awesome..give thanks for sharing
You’re welcome ☺️
just relistened again this one and wow i got even more info out of it than the first time hearing it!! ❤❤❤❤ty a millions for what you give to us!!!
Awww this warms my heart! Thanks for sharing 💫
Absolutely Beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you.
You're welcome :)
I love the green seasoning blend it's subtle yet straight to the point in my food, but I'm still learning how to use it in more dishes.
The uses are endless. You can use it at the base of stews, at the end of a soup, as a side garnish, as a seasoning for meat or fish (if you eat those), as a mix in with yogurt for a great dip or topping, as an add in to dough for savory baked breads…. It’s endless!
You were the first BIPOC talking about this medicine. Thank you for this insight. Just hits different ❤
Glad it was helpful! Representation matters 🖤❤️💚
This was soo good. My spirit lead me to this
Glad it led you 💫
I can't like this video enough. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The way you explain everything is so on point for understanding. Thank you for everything you do. ❤
Thanks so much for this and you’re welcome!
I am so glad I found your videos. I’m considering it…
I’m happy to share. Follow your calling!
Thank you so much for your experience. It sounds like where I am exactly and have been for as long as I can remember. Also where I want to be I appreciate you Namaste!❤
You're so welcome! Thanks for sharing in the comments. I wish you all the best in your journey 💫
Thank you so much! I’m getting ready to go on my first journey later this month. 💕
Fantastic! I pray you journey well!
What a joy to have come across this video! I can feel your joy and liberated sense of ease, which is amazing. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it's very useful as I'm preparing for my short (5 days) trip,
Thanks for sharing. It’s been almost 2 years and I still feel this way 💫 Have an amazing and healing time on your retreat.
Thank you so much again for sharing! I have always had a relationship with nature and after my ceremony my relationship shifted in a way it would take some time to explain. The energy, the sound, the vivid colors amaze me every day…how did I miss this? And the dieta and message from ayahuasca was similar for me…eat and enjoy the natural flavors of what nature offers! I’m still working on compassion for myself as this journey of integration takes time and to be honest one moment I sense I have learned something only to feel like it slips away later… blessings to you 💜
Oh yes Compassion is a lifelong lesson! Thanks for sharing your experience too :)
Thanks very much for sharing this video! I have a ceremony this w/e and was a little unsure if I should go through with it. You've helped me see the other side of the ceremony, helped me to see that I want this medicine and I'm excited to allow it to happen. Thanks again!
Oh I love that for you! Glad you’re going and happy to inspire with the video💫 All the best!
thaaank you❤❤❤you r a blessin sister❤❤❤❤ what an eye opener huge bow to you girl!!!!!
You are most welcome. All the best to you in your journey
thank you!! one day i will do it too.. Mama Aya have been calling me for 9 ish years but the last year I have been more in tuned with it than before.. slowly but surely :)
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I'm going to experience the medicine in the beginning of August. Not in the jungle, but rather here in Florida at Soul Quest. I'm excited...nervous lol but most of all, ready.
Fantastic! On one of my trips to Peru I met a woman who spoke highly about her experiences at SoulQuest in FL. All the best to you on your journey 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and takeaways from your Ayahuasca experience! These are such important lessons for us. One particular lesson in this video that really made me uncomfortable as I was watching was 'how to be in harmony with nature'. The roaches and other insects! Really! Bother! Me! ESPECIALLY roaches. Even seeing a picture of one makes me shudder a little. Hearing your sharing really helps to reframe the way I view insects. Of course, this doesn't mean I'm perfectly okay with roaches now, but it's a start! I don't want to feel that I'm being terrorized by roaches whenever they appear in my house for the rest of my life 😂
I've also been thinking of signing up for an Ayahuasca retreat this coming fall. The thought of it really scares me, but I feel it's about time for me to finally attend one and meet Mother Aya. I hope it all works out!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. It’s comments like these that make me happy that I shared my journey. Especially when it comes to how we humans view nature and particularly insects. I’m glad it resonated and that you’re at the start of shifting how you see them. If you decide to sit with Ayahuasca, I pray you journey well!
Grandmother took away my desires to drink away 🍸healed my taste buds ❤❤❤ thank you goddess 💎 I’ve have sat in 5 ceremonies in U.S. drinking 10 cups to date. 3 bufo 1 Kambo!
The trees & leaves love u much ❤
Incredible! The plants are so powerful 🙏🏾💫 thank you for sharing that testimony!
Kenya Jones, where did you do your retreat in US?
Thank you
You're welcome
Hola. I'm on my way to Peru for my spiritual experience. Thank you for your transparency.
I wish you a transformative experience! You’re very welcome, Journey well☺️
Alright, well, thank you for sharing your experience. I already feel this underlying fear, but, I know that this is an experience I would definitely benefit from. Just before the pandemic hit, my husband was planning to finance a trip for me to take part in Althea's retreat but something else came up, can't really remember now just what, but I didn't attend. I said all that to say, at this point even if I decide to take part in Ayahuasca, finances would be the issue. Still though, the underlying fear and actually nervous too, as I am sharing, is there. 🤲🏾😩🙏🏽🤲🏾
When I started planning I thought about finances too. But my will superseded my bank account. When I made the commitment to go, the resources lined up beautifully. And even more so, after I attended My first Aya retreat, I had my first $9,000 month! All thanks to the business strategies she shared with me in ceremony🫶🏾 I say all this to say don’t let money be a reason to not heal. Sometimes the money lessons we need are in the healing ❤️🩹🤗
Think your for this!! My friend invited me to come to a retreat with her February? I’m doing research.💛💛💛💛💛
You’re most welcome! I do hope you go 💫
You have the voice and charisma of someone that could be a public speaker. You held my attention throughout the video and your examples when explaining different things to make is understand are very informative. Thank you. My friend and I are planning a trip to Peru right now. What part of the year did you all go and any tips of anything to bring? Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for that reflection😊 I traveled to Peru during November and again in February. I recommend traveling as light as possible. When it comes to being ceremony everything you need is already inside. Most retreat center will provide the basics you need to live. If you’d like to bring a camera (not phone camera) or journal to capture those moments during the day when you are reflective post ceremony.
Thank you for sharing your journey from a melanin women point of view. I have been interested in doing the journey as well for the last year and you have help me understand it more. ❤😊 I live in md and I do go through seasonal depression. I moved near the water in md and it had helped on the spring and summer days I get to be in nature and by the water. I don’t feel I am supposed to stay in md, it doesn’t feel my soul…
That’s how I felt about NY. I bought sunlights to help me during the dark grey days of winter and while it supported me, I knew I wasn’t meant to stay there. Plant medicine really helped me uproot from NY and reroot in a warmer city that felt better. Glad this video is helping you and I know you’ll take your own plant medicine journey when it’s time💫
Thank you for sharing your experience! I will be going to a retreat in a few weeks and haven’t watched many videos because I didn’t want to be too influenced by others but your videos are just really informative. I also think/hope I will have a lot of the same issues addressed.
Random question: how do you eat with others when they have takeout foods or rich foods for holidays/gatherings? Do you still eat it?
Hey Alicia. I totally get that. I didn’t want to watch a lot of videos and be influenced by others neither. So when I created this video I tried to focus less on “what happens” and share more of “what I learned”. The truth is “what happens” is different for everyone! As far as the dieta , honor it no matter if it’s a holiday or family or social gathering. The dieta preparation is a priority. Now when you return, you can decide whether you want to continue or modify it. But it’s a good idea to keep a version of it because your body will undergo a transformation and likely respond to your former foods differently. So it’s best to just listen in…pay attention to what your body asks for and feed it that.
for someone whose family has suffered with lyme's disease.. hmm, hard to wrap my head around this as you often can't even see the tick to be bugged by or afraid of it.. you know you've been bit because of horrible symptoms.. and some of these afflicted family members truly love insects.
That makes sense! There truly are parasitic insects out there that can harm humans - In my case, my affliction was with capitalist instilled fear and I had to shift that. So while cockroaches have a new place in my respect, mosquitoes 🦟 don’t lol.
The solution to the Amazon issue is to stop deforestation of the Amazon and replanting of trees 🌳 back into deforested areas. If enough people understood this and protested and boycotts corporations then the problem will be erased. Corporations listen when their pockets hurt. Part of death burials should be forced 10 trees planted. Over every grave should be trees planted. Graveyards should be full of trees. A kind of returning back to nature what one took.... 8 billion trees ❤️🧿🙏
Yessssss thanks for weighing in on this! I love the solution for planting trees on graves. I also agree that we collectively have to make the impact economically so the corporations get that we won’t stand for their destruction of nature.
Love this! I'm headed to ceremony this weekend- I love the part about bugs...but what about these ticks 😂 I'm jk but also really lolol. I so excited for my own journey! Thank you for sharing your journey ❤❤
I get that too! What about the bugs that are “buggy”?!! Lol. Enjoy your journey ☺️
@@TheMindfulPlate they are all over my dogs and carry diseases that can make them / us sick. More worried for dogs- I know sickness within ourselves is more of an energy and trauma response.
@@hereforthehoroscopesyep! It s a challenge to be in harmony with nature when some of it can be destructive. I remind myself that I also have a responsibility to protect myself and sometimes that means I choose what gets sacrificed so I can thrive
Thanks so much for this female view !!! Which center have you been?
😊 I journeyed with Lotus Vine Journeys in Peru. They are now based in Costa Rica.
Hi! I so happy I was guided to your channel and the these particular video. I am going to do a one day retreat with plant medicine. It’s not Ayahuasca. However, I plan to experience ayahuasca for my birthday in December. I’ve heard of a place called Rhythmia but can you let me know where you did yours?
What a great birthday gift! Plant medicine is the ultimate tune up for body, mind, Spirit and Soul💫 I did my work with a group called Lotus Vine Journeys. They were in Peru and have since moved to a sacred center in Costa Rica. Beautiful group!
Thank you! Going to look them up!

This is brilliant ...No, more bad news or watching ..s---t.
Glad it resonates with you 😊
Amen

Thank you for this video! We just cancelled our Amazon subscription a couple weeks ago. Do you think magic mushrooms could be used as a substitute for ayahuasca if that’s all I currently have access to? Is it completely different? It sounds like it is different in some ways but maybe I have just not been taking enough lately when I have taken the mushrooms. I’m not sure when I will have a chance to try aya but I do have a a bit of mushrooms on hand. Do you think mushrooms are comparable at all as a medicine and teaching tool? In my experience they seem to have a more masculine energy and aya sounds like it has more of a feminine energy and seems like aya has the potential to be more healing but I’m not sure about that since I don’t have any personal experience with it. When I’ve taken larger doses of mushrooms Ive heard a male spirit/voice clearly talking and answering my questions. It has been a long time since I took so much that I could hear the mushrooms speak though. I have some issues and feel like I’m holding onto some trauma that I need to work through and heal from and ayahuasca sounds so amazing but I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to take aya as a medicine.
Firstly CONGRATULATIONS on canceling your subscription! I pray it’s a movement and more people reorder how we “order”.
Secondly I’ve sat with both psilocybin and Aya and both are powerful tools and teachers! They are similar energies that connect differently. One isn’t better or more or less than the other. They are both root medicines (literally growing in a network from the underground). Either way you are gonna have healing experiences because you set the intention (I can tell based in your comment). They both can speak to trauma, healing and teaching. Definitely take what you have as medicine and let it guide you to the next steps! Journey well 💫
Yes, please let's all boycott Amazon...I have been on that path for like 10 years. They also hurt workers too and work them to death without proper bathroom even. Very strange company. They also get like $600 million dollars from the CIA. Whitney Webb who writes "One Nation Under Blackmail" does excellent reporting on these monopoly, inhumane tech companies with her impeccable sourcing & encyclopedic knowledge. Technically monopolies are illegal but USA is corrupt and is created by the OG gamgst3rs.

I’m struggling w singing my song and trusting that it comes out of me in an articulate way. If it’s divine I suppose I don’t need to think rather get into my heart, but I’m still afraid. Hoping Aya will help me with this
You already know the answer. Once it’s divine , it will flow effortlessly from that source! Ayahuasca will definitely help. When it comes to Ayahuasca, I’ve found that surrender is my greatest gift. Get out of my own way and let Ayahuasca show me the way that’s grounded in love, God and nature. That song is always divine.
Thanks I go in 2 weeks. I have set my intentions
All the best to you!
Hey I really think you had a calling to go raw vegan/ fruitarian . We are frugivores by nature
Definitely increased my fruit and raw foods intake as a result of this experience. Ayahuasca made me want to feel lighter in my body
Hello what retreat do you recommend ?
I retreated with Lotus Vine Journeys and highly recommend Spring and her team!
I’m terrified of any insect except a butterfly 🦋
So was I sis! And now, after integrating with plant medicine, I can see that they are living beings like me….and like me they desire to live their lives and not spook humans. Hollywood did all that spooking. Making humans fear something so natural. Trust me, the medicine will cure all your fears! So much so, that I can walk barefoot in the rainforest, river, forest or any natural area without fear that I need shoes and “bug spray”. It definitely changed my vibration and I am at peace with the insect world 💫
Humans turn everything into monsters. People are terrified of butterflies due to Operation Monarch & MKULTRA.
Where did you do your ceremony please
Lotus Vine Journeys
this all sounds so wonderful.. maybe we can start some gofundme's
That would certainly be helpful!
Hi Shelly. Is there a way to reach you by email?
Sure thing: shelley@bodyfoodfreedom.com
I just wanted to know the name of the place you went to and maybe some contact info please
Sure. I journeyed with Lotus Vine Journeys, you can google them and they’re also in Instagram
