THE KIND OF DE-CENTRING THAT AYAHUASCA PRODUCES:
“The ability to objectively observe thoughts and feelings without associating them with identity.”
Towards the end of a path of dark earth in the Peruvian Amazon, the Temple of Light is found, where indigenous healers called Onanya teach visitors about the therapeutic uses of ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic brew that has been used by locals for thousands of years.
Now scientists are studying the physical effects of ayahuasca in the brain. Among the volunteers that take ayahuasca for research, investigators have documented an increase in certain key aspects that reflect those of experienced meditators. These changes include increases in openness, optimism and the particularly powerful ability known as decentralisation.
Amanda Feilding, founder and director of the Beckley Foundation, based in the United Kingdom, collaborates with scientists from around the world to comprehend how psychedelic drugs affect the brain. Feilding describes decentralisation as “the capacity to objectively observe thoughts and feelings without associating them with identity.”
Decentralisation might sound esoteric, but it is one of the key objectives of conscious meditation and is also an objective in treatments for depression.
It seems like patients are finally capable of setting free from the emotional pain that they have been enduring for a very long time, observing calmly the thoughts and feelings in an objective way in order to be less judgemental and accept themselves.
Participants informed that they feel more decentralised and less depressed after taking ayahuasca, and in reality there is a neurological change correspondent to their brain activity.
David Nutt, director of the neuropsychopharmacology unit in the Imperial College of London has been working with Feilding and assures that the brains of people with depression or addiction stays trapped in thought patterns spurred by the control centre of the brain.
