Rachel Harris, PhD, a psychologist, is author of Listening to Ayahuasca: New Hope for Depression, Addictions, PTSD, and Anxiety.
Here she notes that 75% of the people she interviewed, all of whom participated in ayahuasca ceremonies in North America, claimed to have an ongoing, personal relationship with the spirit of the vine. This was the most extraordinary finding to come out of her research. She also describes, in some detail, her own personal relationship with Grandmother Ayahuasca. She offers philosophical and psychological justification for taking such experiences seriously.
New Thinking Allowed host Jeffrey Mishlove is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002, he hosted the original Thinking Allowed series on public television.
