Ayahuasca: Soul Medicine of the Amazon Jungle Kindle Edition

It was great! Very well written. Great for me (I've done ayahuasca twice), but also for those who are curious about ayahuasca and never tried.It was also full of great quotes I just had to jot down that apply to anyone in personal development - on fear, taking responsibility for how we feel, our stories, stop blaming others, ego and expectations….It was so real to me, I felt nauseous at times reading it, as I could taste the plant in my mouth often as I read. Well done!

I purchased this book after I went on a healing vacation and experienced an Ayahuasca ceremony for the first time. It helped me make sense of all I had went through and helped me understand things. If you are thinking about going on an Ayahuasca journey, this is the book for you- Excellent book!

I love this book. Definitely the information needed if you are planning on sitting with the medicine.

About medicine found in Ayahuasca recount of the experience, valid history, good acute data of positive intake of the medicine with a ritual ceremony only, not by oneself, how to take it, what to find out, how it works the mind to cure illness associated with the soul. Not easy to tell thru a book, should be easier to try and taste, but accounts well for first timers, what to expect from the trip. Easier told than done, some of my fears blown away by the book, so I would say it s OK

I learned a lot about spirituality. It is an amazing Amazon herb, It gives insight on what has happened with it's uses, facing your fears.

A must read!! I just passed mine along to a friend. Very practical and real.

Great book, well written...

This in depth guide to ayahuasca is a remarkable and much needed addition to the existing literature and accounts on ayahuasca currently available. This second edition also adds a beautiful and important two chapters on sustaining awareness of safety and responsible medicine use - which completes an already seemingly complete guidebook on ayahuasca usage!I have probably read all or almost all of the books available on the topic of ayahuasca over the past 7 years. While there have been a few excellent books, most of them are focused on adventures of seekers, personal accounts and experiential reports, with a couple of books focused on the study of the Amazonian world view. This is not a bad thing, but I have been waiting for something more and this book provides it. It brings a much needed depth for the serious seeker, looking to approach ayahuasca ceremonies for deep healing. It is a guide on all things ayahuasca related, but its strength lies in its focus on the suggested mental, spiritual and emotional preparation and approach to working with this extraordinary sacrament.The book is quite personal in places, offering what he found to be the most helpful for his own unfolding and inner work. If someone, born and raised in western society, is going to approach this medicine for deep healing of wounds and the malaise of common western thought patterns, some of the popular approaches to ayahuasca and shamanism in general can at times be slightly limiting, in my opinion. Regueiro’s work adds a fresh outlook, building upon indigenous wisdom by utilizing sometimes Jungian and non-dual approaches in dealing with our fractures and wounds. In my own inner work, I have found these approaches incredibly beneficial and wholesome, so this book really resonates with me. This does not mean that this book discards all conventional wisdom as built up through the ages in the amazon, but rather adds to it in a very meaningful way, and re-frames many of the methods and myths surrounding the use of it to be rather approachable. There is also an explicit invitation to use one’s own discernment and intuition regarding what is “right” for the individual, which I find highly appealing as it avoids an authoritarian view.In a nutshell, this is the one of the only books I would recommend someone read before embarking on their first ayahuasca ceremony, and in my opinion, it is a book that everyone currently working with sacred plants should consider reading for a review of what their current work is bringing them. Very important work and much needed at this juncture in time!

great book! Amazing medicine! highly recommended!
