Hi Danielle, thank you so much for your videos you have much more in-depth information than I have heard before. I am interested in the CBD because mother ayawaska told me it is an important medicine for me to take. I have done many ceremonies and found taking it just before drinking the medicine seemed to stop my mind from bouncing around and I had what seemed to be a much smoother experience. So I was interested to hear it was something to cut out!
Although it's recommended, if you've worked with it before ceremonies and it's been helpful I'd say honor your own experience! Or you could test it out and see the difference with and without :) And thank you SO much for your sweet comment! I'm so happy you're finding the videos helpful ❤
Hi and really appreciate your videos. The only thing I'd say is that drinking water without replenishing your salt can strip your body of this (and other) important mineral, or at least that's a conclusion from my circle of influence. Even a little bit of salt (I drink it in my water) is enough to meet your body's needs. I'm wondering about your thoughts on this. My very best to you and thank you again.
Aw thank you so much for your comment! And absolutely; you're so right. And having a little salt leading up to ceremony isn't an issue at all. You don't want to go crazy, but adding some Celtic or mineral salt to your water is totally fine!
I’ve actually gone off a lot of foods and drinks, most of the things you are saying to avoid are the things I am put off by. I can’t stand tea and would drink it at least once a day. Sugar cravings are not high as they were. I might need to switch some of oils lol but everything else has been constant fruit and veg
Thank you Danielle. I watched your “what I wish I would have known” video first. I was fortunate to have had a shaman who prepared me very well with regards to the content of that video. However, other than a general sense of wanting to be healthier, most of this information I did not get. So thanks again!
Hi! You're so welcome and thank you for your comment 😊 When it comes to bread I think your best bet is to avoid anything super processed. Also white/refined grains and bread. But whole grains are great and even something like sourdough is probably fine after a few days. To be honest I've even seen some retreat centers themselves serve bread. With pizza I would definitely wait a few days or up to a week (especially for the cheese) and also to avoid anything too processed.
Oh my gosh I can't believe I didn't mention that 😆 It's interesting because oftentimes shamans will use mapacho (sacred jungle tobacco) in the space of ceremonies. That is actually considered to be quite a powerful, protective plant. But it's still important that it's not abused, and mostly used in a ceremonial setting. As for cigarettes, we would recommend staying away from those because of all the added chemicals.
Hi love! Thank you for your comment and for watching 😊 So for keto or carnivore the good thing is, you're fine to do chicken or fish afterwards (just make sure it's good quality). Eggs are also ok. I would definitely avoid red meat and pork for a bit though. For keto specifically you can get back into dairy pretty quickly (within a few days), and non-starchy veggies, nuts and seeds, avocado, berries and oils like avocado and coconut should be ok. If you google a vegetarian keto diet and then add fish, chicken and eggs to that it should actually have a good amount of options!
LOVE your videos. Wish I had watched them before my first ceremony this weekend. My question to you, Danielle is I wasn't able to keep most of the medicine down. Because of that, should I assume there was no ayahuasca absorbed and therefore do not need to continue with post diet? Also, if you have any tips on how to ensure keeping it in your system at least one hour, I would love to hear as I am definitely going to go again. Thanks in advance.
aww thank you so much for your sweet comment! 😆❤ And ohh such an interesting question! I've seen that happen a few times, when guests had a hard time keeping the medicine down. So first things first, it can actually help to bring a toothbrush and just dry brush your tongue/swish water in your mouth and spit the water out (don't swallow it). This helps for people who have a really hard time with the taste. Beyond that, taking slow, deep breaths can definitely help. Make sure you remain seated and don't lie down. You can even do a little visualization of the medicine merging smoothly with your body. Hopefully some of those ideas help ☺ In terms of the diet, you will still have absorbed some ayahuasca, and her spirit is definitely with you no matter what. So it's really up to you, but I would recommend still trying to eat clean and as whole-foods based as possible for about a week ✨
That's great, thanks for the info. I did do breathing but it wasn't until the last dose second night I could calm myself. Def got some homework to do before embarking on the next ceremony. As for taste, I actually love it, and lucky enough to get some flash memories of that unique scent. Thank you so much for your sage advice. Also when you said dont get drunk again....is this forever or just post diet? @@daniellerateau
@@tayllasa2296 omg, you're lucky that you love the taste! 😆That definitely helps. And I completely understand not being able to calm yourself initially. Thankfully, going into your next ceremonies you may be able to get to that space more quickly since you've done it now. It helps a lot to practice meditation and breathwork in the days and weeks leading up to the ceremonies as well! In terms of alcohol, you definitely want to avoid getting drunk during the post-dieta phase (for a few weeks afterward). In terms of "forever" this is, of course, totally up to you. I don't drink that much anymore, but that's because I've recognized that it's what's best for me personally. Just honor yourself 😊

Oftentimes as our frequency raises we naturally get "turned off" by certain foods, so that totally makes sense!
Hi I would love to follow you, but your IG links isn’t working… has your handle name changed, thanks :)
aw thank you for wanting to connect! I actually deleted my Instagram, but plan to start fresh when the time is right ❤️

Hi Nick! Thank you so much 🙏 I'm glad you had a shaman who supported you. That's super important and makes such a difference.
Thank you for the video. The pork analysis was insightful.
You're so welcome! And I agree...the pork information is fascinating!!
What is your take on Bread (and similar) and Pizza (and similar).
I assume these fall under the Fermentation category?
Thank you for your video!

I don’t think you mentioned smoking tobacco/nicotine. I feel like i already know.. but can you give me your insight on that? :)

Enjoyed watching your video. You make your videos very informative and thanks for the useful tips
Yayy thank you as always for watching! ☺️✨
thank you so much for this information. Thank you for sharing. what can I do if I’m on keto diet or lets say carnivore.. ?
