Master of the EGO death experience, reminder of what's good in life and the reasons to continue fighting.
What is Bufo?
The bufo alvarius toad is known to live in the Sonoran desert in Mexico and some states in the US. It secretes a venom called 5-MeO-DMT from glands it contains mainly on its back and legs. It can be known by different names: Bufo, El Sapo, Sapito, Colorado river Toad, and Sonoran Desert toad. This liquid is extracted from the toad’s glands and dehydrated into crystals on a flat surface like glass, crushed and then smoked in a simple glass pipe or vaporizer. The Bufo alvarius toad venom contains 5-MeO-DMT and 5-HO-DMT (Bufotenin). 5-MeO-DMT is a naturally-occurring entheogen and a potent psychedelic. In terms of chemical structure, this substance is similar to DMT (dimethyltryptamine).
Once smoked the Bufo treatment can lasts for about 10 to 15 minutes, in a very intense DMT experience in which patients suffer what is commonly known as the EGO death and in some cases a more visual journey. Patients are left with a more positive mind set right after the experience and reminded of how gratifying it is to take a breath of air and be alive.
Doing the Bufo treatment, is surrendering like it or not. With most DMT's there is a sense of control and influence on our behalf, with bufo that is completely gone as soon as it kicks in. There is safe space made for the Bufo treatment, like a comfortable place to lay down on the floor. The space is cleansed with Sage and other energy cleansing smokes. There is music played on speaker to help the experience. You are asked to inhale the smoke of the bufo when slowly burnt with a torch in a simple glass pipe. Once you are done inhaling, you hold it and on you go, into the bufo experience. It is important to know the experience only lasts about 10 to 15 min and that it does end, for your own peace of mind. The experience can be visual, mental, or even just emotional and in some cases all them in one. Once the medicine kicks in your mind control of the experience is completely torn away by the powerful bufo medicine, so the recommendation is to repeat in your mind the word thank you and just surrender. It can be very intense as you go in, but this medicine tends to give you a sense of peace and love and this makes the experience a lot easier as the minutes go by. The guide may use palo santo, instruments and agua florida as you are in the experience to help with your energy cleanse and guidance. Once out of the trip, you can have emotional release and it is recommended to not hold it down. If you need to cry, just cry and let it out as much as you want, because this is a judge free space and that is what you are meant to do.
