Gaia Sagrada – Death Prevention, Serotonin Syndrome & Pharmaceuticals

gaia sagrada death prevention

Many times, to a guest taking Ayahuasca at Gaia Sagrada, death seems imminent when they are in the throes of the process. Yes, there is vomiting and there are bathroom runs for about 50% of the participants. Not everyone goes through that, but some do. Ayahuasca can feel like the little death in some cases, though.

It depends on how clean one’s diet is before taking Ayahuasca as to how strong the process is. People with very clean diets glide through the process of an Ayahuasca ceremony fairly easily. For those who need some major physical housecleaning, though, it will feel very much like a little Ayahuasca death.

It’s not unusual for someone to think, “I’m going to die!” when taking Ayahuasca but they won’t! Ayahuasca never killed anyone. A person would throw up before overdosing. It only happens when other things are mixed in that shouldn’t be there, certain pharmaceuticals or recreational drugs are involved, or someone is left alone in a dangerous situation, for instance near a cliff or a lake. The plant medicine itself never killed anyone though. One would eliminate it before he or she could die from it.

Of course, there are the precautions Gaia Sagrada and other Ayahuasca retreat centers suggest in order to avoid death. Serotonin syndrome is very real and quite dangerous so when a person is told to discontinue antidepressants it is a warning very important to heed. Serotonin syndrome can indeed cause death when taking Ayahuasca. It is because there is an overload of serotonin which causes breathlessness and heart palpitations, among other things.

So PLEASE discontinue all antidepressants before coming to Gaia Sagrada. Death CAN happen from serotonin syndrome. One could lie to us, but cannot lie to the Ayahuasca! Please heed all precautions with pharmaceuticals and recreational drugs because combining various things with ayahuasca doesn’t work. At Gaia Sagrada death prevention is something taken very seriously.

Things like blood pressure medicine, heart medicine, cholesterol medicine, hormones, insulin for diabetics, those things are fine to keep taking with Ayahuasca. Those things will not combine badly with ayahuasca, and won’t cause death. In fact, we encourage people to keep taking those.

Amateurs tell people to stop taking all pharmaceuticals but some drugs should NOT be discontinued, especially if one’s life depends on those medicines. At Gaia Sagrada death prevention has to do with what pharmaceuticals are continued, not just what is discontinued.

One way to assess what pharmaceuticals can still be taken with ayahuasca is to determine whether that drug affects brain chemistry, especially for alleviating depression. If the drug affects brain chemistry, you can be pretty sure that it should be discontinued. Even St John’s Wort, an herb, needs to be discontinued because enough of it can cause serotonin syndrome, and death.

Hopefully this clears up a little bit of confusion about what can be taken with ayahuasca and what cannot or should not be taken with ayahuasca. Be careful and heed these Gaia Sagrada death prevention guidelines. It is very important that everyone is safe!

Gaia Sagrada – Death Prevention, Serotonin Syndrome & Pharmaceuticals


Is University of Metaphysical Sciences In Sedona Arizona? Innocence In Lawsuit

university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizonaWisdom of the Heart 501(c)3 is the parent company of Gaia Sagrada Retreat Center, and also University of Metaphysical Sciences, which is an online school in the USA where people can earn Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degrees in metaphysics.

Even though this blog is about Gaia Sagrada, we need to make a mention here about something that Gaia Sagrada’s parent organization, the non profit Wisdom of the Heart 501(c)3 in the USA, is going through.

University of Metaphysical Sciences is NOT in Sedona Arizona!

There is a new google suggested search term that is creating a lot of market confusion, though, which is “university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizona.

University of Metaphysical Sciences is NOT in Sedona, Arizona and UMS has NO associations with any school in Sedona, Arizona. UMS put a page called University of Metaphysical Sciences is NOT in Sedona Arizona and is now being sued by two Sedona Arizona metaphysics universities for trying to clarify that University of Metaphysical Sciences is not in Sedona.

University of Metaphysical Sciences is a trademarked name but Google has caused massive market confusion, redirecting a large amount of UMS traffic to other schools in Sedona with the google suggested term “university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizona.” We are not sure how this started, it was quite suddenly and just appeared out of nowhere, but people actually looking for our school by name are now led to other metaphysics universities in Sedona, Arizona with Google’s new suggested search term, “university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizona.” UMS has no choice but to try to clarify that it is not in Sedona Arizona, and rather is in Arcata, California.

If you’re looking for the REAL University of Metaphysical Sciences, which is the sponsor of Gaia Sagrada Retreat Center in Ecuador, please make sure you find a university that is really CALLED University of Metaphysical Sciences. Our courses are much different than any other school, unique, well researched and written professionally, and quite sizeable in content, as opposed to some schools that don’t have a lot of content. There isn’t really any other school that can compare to University of Metaphysical Sciences.

university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizonaUMS offers a true education in metaphysics, with much interaction with staff if the students want it, or not if they don’t want it. Some people are on a journey of self transformation in University of Metaphysical Sciences, and some people have been on the path for a long time, are ready to be leaders healers and teachers in their community, and simply need the credentials to bring credibility to their work. UMS still fills in the gaps of knowledge for even the most seasoned spiritual seeker, though! Everyone will find something new to learn at UMS. The 70-80 meditations that go with the courses are priceless, as well, and students use the over and over again.

University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit

If having this challenge with Google’s market confusion around the name of our school, University of Metaphysical Sciences is now facing the third lawsuit launched against it by a Sedona, Arizona organization that runs two metaphysical schools. We are working on a website to provide all the court documents for the public to read, www.UniversityofMetaphysicalSciencesLawsuit.com “university of metaphysical sciences lawsuit,” so you can decide for yourself what is going on. We cannot discuss the case or give personal opinions, only facts, but if you would like to read the court documents, they speak for themselves.

Court documents are free to the public to read, but hard to find by the average person. We will help make it possible for the public to find these documents if anyone is interested. University of Metaphysical Sciences defends it’s innocence for the third time since these lawsuits against University of Metaphysical Sciences began in 2017.

Not once has UMS ever been found guilty of any wrong doing because UMS practices with the utmost of integrity in business. Once again UMS will prevail in the jury trial in June 12-16, 2023 in San Francisco, California. The trick is to have enough money to see the whole court case through! That’s the hard part.

This has been a very expensive and difficult financial challenge for University of Metaphysical Sciences since UMS only charges what is necessary to cover expenses and operates as a true non profit. Even the directors are making close to minimum wage. This metaphysics university is a labor of love. It’s not for making money. Never was.

If you would like to help us defend against false allegations, please feel free to help our good cause! This is the third lawsuit launched against University of Metaphysical Sciences by a Sedona Arizona organization that runs two metaphysical universities, and it is definitely making financial things difficult for UMS. You can go to University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit Defense Fund at GoFundMe if you would like to help us fight the good fight!

These are the three lawsuits if you have the ability to look them up now before we get the dockets posted on the “of Metaphysics vs University of Metaphysical Sciences Lawsuit” site:

  1. International Metaphysical Ministry Incorporated et al v. Schaefer et al 3:17-cv-08280-JJT — launched against UMS on 12–28–2017 — Began in a Sedona, Arizona court, defendants dismissed, and then was transferred to a northern California court
  2. International Metaphysical Ministry Incorporated et al v. Schaefer et al 4:18-cv-04524-SBA — launched against UMS on 7–26–2018 — Settled in California court, basically both parties walked away, neither party had fault or liability.
  3. International Metaphysical Ministry, Inc. v. Wisdom of the Heart Church 4:21-cv-08066-KAW — launched against UMS on 10–14–2021 — Presently litigating in California court, trial set for June 12–16, 2023, San Francisco, CA

university of metaphysical sciences sedona arizonaIt is very expensive to defend UMS. It has cost everything we have ever made, and more. Good thing we were never in it for the money! It’s about awakening humanity for us. Now it is the principle of the matter to keep a school that offers a truly amazing and beautiful education on the planet. University of Metaphysical Sciences is a true light in the world. Come look at our courses if you are interested in learning about all things metaphysical!

We are sad that this is happening. If metaphysical schools can’t get along, what hope is there for world peace? We have tried to live and let live and University of Metaphysical Sciences has never attacked any other organization for any reason. UMS is a peaceful organization. However, we have no option but to defend University of Metaphysical Sciences’ innocence from false allegations.

Thank you for listening to our story, and supporting us if you do. May love and light prevail in this world and in everyone’s hearts! Our goal is to make it possible for every person attracted to what we do have the opportunity to truly heal so they can be the angels they really are and help others do the same. We are here to help with humanity’s quantum leap awakening.

May there be peace on Earth!
