The Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook: The Essential Guide to Ayahuasca Journeying Kindle Edition

This was a very good read. The large print made it very easy to read even in poor lighting. Thank you for that. Definitely recommend.

The clarity and truthfulness of the book make the book a jewel for the beginner in the journey. Following his advice will give you wisdom. I totally enjoyed the reading of the book and I strongly recommend it.

This was a great read! Really insightful on ayahuasca and gives a good sense of how to get a full experience of it. It doesn't enforce anything on you but gives you lots of helpful tips, ideas, and ways to get the fullest experience out of ayahuasca. Helpful on letting you know harmful plants and dark shamans as well. A really great general knowledge for anyone interested in journeying with La Medicina. I can not wait to have an experience of my own but this book has made me much more knowledgeable on what to do in order to have a good experience using ayahuasca. For anyone who is expecting this book to go in detail about an ayahuasca experience it touches on it but it can't fully describe it because everyone will have their own experience. It's more helpful to learn about the plants it comes from, shamans, and tips to make your experience happen in the most useful way possible than describing only his experience with the drink.

This is an essential tour guide for those who explore inner space.Unlike so many writings which focus simply on how to get there, the Tests Pilots handbook bravely guides you on how to navigate the terrain when you do get there--including the key spiritual doctrine of "Ask for what you want!" It seems the collective reality experienced with Ayahuasca is an immense and novel space, full of spiritual treasures and risks, where we are truly children. Like any child new to a big big city, it is critical to have proper guidance and protection. This is what the Consciousness of the Ayahuasca gives you (obviously massively!) on the innerpaths, that a chemical alone does not.Practical and important guidance is also offered on a day to day level .A fun Must Read for those who would travel inner space!

Covers a wide array of topics that help you better prepare and integrate after.

Having just returned (3 days earlier) from 18 days of living with 2 separate Shuar shaman families in Morona Santiago, Ecuador, this book caught my eye. In those 18 days I attended 16 ceremonies, the majority of those with Natem, the Shuar word for ayahuasca. I can say from personal experience that this book should be considered a necessary element for anyone who has even the slightest interest in personal growth through the use of ayahuasca.My journey to the Shuar was my first experience with ayahuasca and while I had read deeply and broadly for years previously, the author's own experience and research provided me with new knowledge. I am fortunate enough to be retired (age 67) and traveling solo in the Andean portion of South America. I hope to meet up with other Test Pilots and share flight plans.

I love that this book includes lots of the science behind the medicine as well as the spiritual aspects. I appreciate that the author not only shares the details of his personal experience, he describes as much as possible, the different possibilities one could expect and how best to be prepared. I personally need to know what would be a normal or common response while on the medicine so I can better mitigate fears or anxieties when certain things do happen.

A must read ayahuasca primer. Download easy read; full of straight navigational advice and insights. If you’re going to Peru- read this first.

Nice to read about someone elses experience but a little light in content and not so much an eloquent writer but speaks from the heart. A nice to have book but not a must have.

Really enjoyable read, well worth it if you are considering this type of work.

Extremely interesting development in the world of medicine. And very well researched and written.

every thing excellent

I'm planning my first ceremony in a couple of months, and feel so much better prepared now that I've read this book. In depth information from that allowed me to put myself in the author's shoes. Will be re-reading this one for sure!
