Iboga Experience: Awesome Trip on a Retreat
Hi, it's Louis Makonza Da Silva from https://Ibogahealingexperience.com
Just wanted to have the opportunity to talk to you about the recipe for a good Iboga retreat experience. Well, there's three things, truth, intent, and action. Well, which one's more important? They're all important.
First, it starts with your truth. Why are you coming to an Iboga retreat experience? Secondly, what is the issue? And having truth is admitting that first of all, there's a problem and there's a reason. We've all heard the term "acknowledging the problem is half of the solution". And I agree with that. You have to know what your issue is before you come to an iboga experience.
So my truth was that I had ptsd and major depression. Is it hard to admit? Yeah. Is it hard to live with? Most definitely. But I knew I had an issue, so I made the choice - because of my truth - to do an Iboga retreat and have an iboga experience.
So the second thing is intent.
What is my intention with the plant medicine of Iboga and having an Ibogaine experience? Well, I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but I had faith and I knew my truth and I knew living the way I was living, it wasn't going to be good. So my intention with the plant medicine of Iboga and my Ibogaine healing experience, I decided with my truth to have a ceremony with an Iboga healing experience and I got truth within my intentions within my ceremony and I found out my truth even though I didn't know a lot of my truth.
My truth came out within my iboga ceremony because I allowed my true intentions to come through and allow the iboga plant medicine to actually work. Because when we go through an iboga ceremony, we don't know what's going to happen in the iboga retreat. This is an iboga ceremony that is like an onion removing layers one at a time and we deal with one thing at a time through our past and we may go back pretty far. But allowing and having the true intentions allows the true plant medicine to work to foreign. Iboga healing to actually work, so we come out of our Iboga healing experience and now we have the final thing is action because we have our truth, we understand what went wrong and our participation within it.
And now we have action.
So in my case, I went home and I had to make some changes, big changes. The people I was hanging around with, were not good for me. The people who I thought were close to me who, I thought loved me, truly did not. And that's hard to deal with. But knowing that if I continue to do that, I was going to get the same outcome. It made a life a lot easier because knowing the truth through my Iboga experience showed me that those actions weren't really good for me. I kept putting faith in others, putting my life into other people's hands... when the truth is I had to start taking charge of my own life. So I did. And when I came back, I quit my job. I got rid of a lot of friends.
