The “Light” in your journey…

Acacia Confusa

Acacia Confusa Formosa root bark is very similar in the amount of DMT it holds to Mimosa Hostilis root bark. (DMT is one of the 2 active ingredients for the Ayahuasca brew). Therfore it is often used to replace the original Chacruna leaves in the brew. The Acacia has a less hostile and more gentle character in Ayahuasca journeys. The ancient Egyptians used this plant to get in contact with higher realms to be advised by their Gods. This Acacia bark is mainly harvested in Hawaii and Taiwan but is native to the Middle-East and South-East Asia. Acacia Confusa is used in traditional medicine and is available as a herbal medicine Throughout Asia. The tree has become very common in many tropical Pacific areas and is considered invasive. It can grow up to a height of 15 meters and Because of its high density of the wood of the tree is used for construction work like support beams for underground mines.

Mimosa Hostilis

Mimosa Hostilis is an entheogen used by the Jurema Cult in northeastern Brazil. Dried Mexican Mimosa Hostilis root bark has been shown to have a DMT content of about 1 to 1.7%. This Mimosa Hostilis (Tepezcohuite) is harvested by a community of indigenous Tzoltzil and Zoque farmers from southeastern Mexico. No chemical fertilizers or pesticides were used. Most of the jurema is harvested/collected from the wild in the more than 370 hectares of land owned by these farmers. The Tepezcohuite tree is very abundant in this region since it grows there naturally. They do replant sufficient trees to ensure a sustainable and ecologically friendly production.

Psychotria viridis

Psychotria viridis contains the hallucinogenic alkaloid dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in levels varying from 0.1% to 0.61% in dried state. It is known primarily as an additive to the ayahuasca brew used in South and Central America. The mechanism of action is via the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) present in Banisteriopsis caapi, which allows ayahuasca to be effective in oral doses (unlike smoking DMT crystals which requires no conditioning partner substance). Healers in the Amazon regions of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, recognize different sub-varieties of Psychotria viridis, based on the location of glands on the back of the leaves.

Banisteriopsis Caapi Paste (30:1)

This paste is made with freshly harvested Banisteriopsis Caapi and only clean water. 30 parts of fresh Yellow Caapi was used for each 1 part of pasta. When fresh vine is used, the product is far superior over dried vine pastes. The Caapi is shimmered 3 times slowly for 8 hours. After every 8-hour step, the liquid is filtered to remove all impurities before it is transformed into a thick paste by an evaporation process. This is the “pure gold” of the plant. You will love it!

These seeds are extremely suitable as a mao inhibitor. You need very little of it and it gives the DMT free play in your body. This herb grows in harsh conditions and has been used in many cultures worldwide for thousands of years. In Asia, for example, the plant is used as a remedy and as a fertile aphrodisiac and as a dye. In Iran the plant has a lot of religious significance. In Turkey, dried capsules of this plant are threaded and hung in houses or vehicles to protect against “the evil eye” and it is widely used for protection against Djinn in Morocco

Palo Santo

Palo Santo may be burned similar to incense by lighting shavings of the wood or the whole stick can be light on fire, allowed to burn for a few moments then blown out so that it will smoke. In Peru, a shaman or medicine man, may light Palo Santo sticks and the rising smoke will enter the energy field of ritual participants to ‘clear misfortune, negative thought patterns and ‘evil’ spirits.” In terms of western culture, Palo Santo is used and burned as incense.

Traditionally, drops are applied into the eyes to expand spiritual vision and awareness while enhancing one’s ability to read other people’s intentions. Sananga is also said to increase a person’s long-range vision. Indigenous people believe it can also be used to treat a broad range of ocular problems such as myopia, depth and colour perception, definition of images and for detection accuracy. It has also been used in the treatment of various other eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and even blindness, but no scientific evidence has been reported yet.

The DMT Containing Drink

Brewing small quantities of the “DMT drink” is often more difficult than large quantities because small quantities are more difficult to keep at the exact temperature and they evaporate faster.
Of course you should not brew too much because the drink can only be kept for about 2 months, but it is better to throw away something than to have too little!

It often happens that your first journey doesn’t work out and you need a 2nd dose. If this is the case, you know immediately that you can take more on your next journey.
I therefore recommend brewing for at least 4 journeys in the beginning and then adjusting your dose according to your experience.

When you have more experience you can also build up the dose for longer and deeper journeys.

The average amount of DMT per journey is:
0,15 gr. tot 0,25 gr.

100 gr Acacia Confusa contains about 1 gr DMT
100 gr Mimosa Hostilis contains about 2 gr DMT
100 gr Psychotria viridis contains about 1 gr DMT

Per journey this is:

15 gr to 25 gr Acacia Confusa
or
10 gr to 15 gr Mimosa Hostilis
or
15 gr to 25 gr Psychotria Viridis.

Watch the brewing process

The MAO Inhibitor Drink

Properly inhibited MAO enzymes in your system are essential for a good journey. This is often overlooked if the journey does not work and more DMT is consumed, which is usually not the solution.

MAO inhibitors have a “peak effect” of about 2 hours. This “peak” starts on average 30 minutes after taking the MAO inhibitor. (The intake of the “DMT drink” is optimal during this period.) The “peak” time can differ per person. (Your body weight and the speed of your digestion can play a big role in this. In larger people this “peak” starts later)

The amount is also different per person (this usually depends on the body weight and your build) This is why I indicate minimum and maximum amounts in the example below. (Small people need a little less than larger people)

Per journey you’ll need:

12 gr to 20 gr Benesteriopsis Caapi paste
or
3 gr to 4,5 gr Peganum Harmala
or
8 gr to 10 gr Benesteriopsis Caapi in combination with 3gr to 4 gr Peganum Harmala
