The sacred Mirror of ayahuasca

The sacred mirror that Ayahuasca shows us is often the thing that most scares us about working with this medicine. There is an innate resistance/protection in us all to fully see our true selves and not just the persona we believe ourselves to be. 

We might not like parts of ourselves, we might have spent years rejecting our more shadowy aspects, believing there is no place for these in order to be accepted and loved by others. Burdened by shame and guilt. 

Mama Aya helps us to meet those parts, with love and grace, for when we have greater understanding and compassion for ourselves we can embrace it all and show up in the world in all our flawed yet beautiful completeness.
