The Awakening of the Wild: Contact with Inner Nature After Rituals
After Ayahuasca rituals, many feel called to instinct, the body, and the earth. This post explores the reconnection with the inner wild.
Introduction
There’s a moment after the ceremony when the silence of the forest speaks louder. The mind quiets, feet long to touch the soil, and the body wants to move freely. This is the awakening of the wild — an ancestral force within us, often forgotten.
This post invites us to listen to that instinctive, intuitive, and vital part that often arises after expanded states of consciousness.
What Is the Inner Wild?
The wild here is not chaotic or violent. It is what pulses with authenticity. What feels before it thinks. What aligns with the body and with nature. It knows when to stop, when to move, and when to be silent. It’s our sense of belonging to life — beyond schedules or roles.
Why Does It Awaken After Ayahuasca?
1. The Medicine Dissolves Social Masks
Ayahuasca strips away the character we wear in everyday life. What remains is what is — and what is, is often wild.
2. The Body Becomes an Oracle Again
The body’s signals become clearer. Spontaneous movements, simple desires, heightened senses. Instinct begins to lead.
3. Nature Becomes a Mirror
The forest, the fire, the water, the animals — all become vivid and meaningful. Nature is no longer “out there,” but within.
How to Cultivate This Nature in Daily Life
- Walk barefoot
- Listen to your body’s rhythms
- Cook, plant, drum
- Sit quietly near trees
- Honor the cycles (moon, seasons, emotions)
This isn’t about becoming a hermit — it’s about allowing the wild to return, quietly, to daily life.
Conclusion
The wild is not the opposite of the civilized — it is its forgotten foundation. To integrate what awakens after the medicine is to give voice again to instinct, nature, and the body.
In the dance between spirit and earth, the wild walks with us.
