You’re not easing in. You’re being launched.

No soft edges. No slow come-up. Just a slingshot into something vast, alive, and utterly incomprehensible.

DMT is not a psychedelic—it’s a dimensional rupture.

A molecule that exists in nature, in the human body, and maybe in the very code of consciousness itself.

To smoke it is to disappear. To drink it in Ayahuasca is to surrender—fully, deeply, for hours—to the intelligence of the jungle.

What follows is not a trip. It’s an encounter.

What the DMT experience feels like

One second, you’re in your body.

The next, you’re flying through a geometric chrysanthemum, face-to-face with entities who feel ancient and familiar.

No time. No self. Just presence in the strange.

Unlike LSD or psilocybin, which slowly peel back the layers, DMT slams you through the veil in seconds.

What to expect:

  • Rapid onset: Within seconds, reality shatters into fractals, tunnels, and pulsating forms
  • Entity contact: Common reports include machine elves, guides, gods, and tricksters
  • Ego dissolution: There is no “you”—only awareness, raw and unfiltered
  • Time collapse: A 10-minute experience can feel like eternity
  • Emotional overload: From euphoric bliss to profound existential awe—or both, simultaneously

What science says about DMT + Ayahuasca

DMT is still one of neuroscience’s greatest mysteries—but here’s what we do know:

  • Endogenous DMT: It’s produced in trace amounts in the body, possibly the lungs, pineal gland, or elsewhere (research ongoing)
  • Neuroplasticity: Ayahuasca boosts brain flexibility, with potential benefits for depression, trauma, and addiction
  • Default mode network (DMN) disruption: DMT shuts down the brain’s “ego hub,” opening the door to non-linear, mystical states

“A single dose of DMT produced experiences indistinguishable from near-death reports.”
— Johns Hopkins Psychedelic Research Unit

How to prepare for a DMT or Ayahuasca journey

This isn’t a party drug. It’s a rite of passage. Approach it that way.

  • 🔹 Set & setting:
    Choose a calm, safe environment, free of distraction and energetically clear
  • 🔹 Intentions matter:
    Why are you doing this? Curiosity? Healing? Communion? Clarity? Set that question like an anchor.
  • 🔹 Have a sitter (for smoked DMT):
    Someone sober and grounded who can hold space during and after
  • 🔹 Honor the dieta (for Ayahuasca):
    A traditional preparation diet: no alcohol, processed food, caffeine, sex, or strong emotions
    Not just about purification—it’s about respect and receptivity

🔍 Real talk: you won’t always come back the same

DMT can be beautiful. It can also be brutal.

Some people meet love. Others meet death.

There’s no way to predict what you’ll encounter—but you will encounter yourself.

And if you're not ready to let go of who you think you are, the journey might do it for you anyway.

Integration: making sense of the impossible

The experience may be over in minutes, but integration can take months—or years.

  • Journaling + art: Express what words can’t
  • Meditation + breathwork: Anchor the energy and insight
  • Community: Share with people who can hold the magnitude of what you saw

If Ayahuasca is involved, your body may purge, your dreams may shift, and your life may begin to rearrange itself. That’s not regression. That’s the medicine still working.

Final thoughts: the molecule is the message

DMT isn’t something you explain.

It’s something that rearranges your understanding of what explanation even means.

It’s a glimpse behind the curtain. A mirror made of light. A reminder that reality is stranger, deeper, and more alive than we’ve been told.

If you hear the call—prepare. And when you go, go with reverence.

You don’t come back with answers.
You come back with better questions.
