Declaration
I, the undersigned, accept the conditions of participating in ayahuasca & DMT sessions held By the registered members and ministers of Eternal Self Ministries, and I declare that I am choosing to participate of my own free will. I have not been coerced into participating in sessions by the organizers or by any other person; the decision to participate is mine alone, and is based on my own personal assessment of the effects, the exclusion criteria, the potential risks and benefits, the focus of the session and the commitment of the people running it. I am aware that I am to answer all questions honestly during the screening process and am required to complete questionnaires before and after the session. I agree to provide all the relevant information about my medical history, my mental and physical health and any other information that may serve to protect my health during this process.
I acknowledge that the information I provide to the organizers of this session is strictly confidential and will not be used without my approval for any other purpose than as described in the accompanying document. I am aware that I can ask questions about the session at any time and can change my mind about attending at any time before the session begins. Once the session has started, I commit to not leaving the space without the consent of the person running the session, and I commit to following the instructions always, from the preparatory stage through to integration. I understand and agree that I can be excluded from participation in a session at the discretion of the facilitator. I understand that I will receive a copy of this consent form.
Drug Interations
Eternal Self Ministries of the Malachian Empire recognizes the spiritual significance and ceremonial use of DMT and Ayahuasca. However, it is important to note that these substances may interact with other drugs and medications, resulting in adverse reactions.
Prescription Medications: If you are taking any prescription medications, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before participating in a DMT or Ayahuasca ceremony. These substances can have significant interactions with medications, particularly antidepressants, and other psychotropic medications, potentially leading to serious health consequences.
Over-the-Counter Medications and Supplements: Similar caution should be exercised with over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements. Certain supplements and non-prescription drugs may interact adversely with DMT or Ayahuasca.
Alcohol and Recreational Drugs: The use of alcohol and other recreational drugs in combination with DMT or Ayahuasca is strongly discouraged due to the potential for harmful interactions.
Pre-existing Medical Conditions: Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, particularly mental health disorders, heart disease, or liver disease, should consult a healthcare provider before using DMT or Ayahuasca.
While we respect and honor the sacredness of these traditional practices, the safety and well-being of our community members are paramount. It is your responsibility to ensure you are medically and physically fit to partake in such activities. This information is intended as a general guide and does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Eternal Self Ministries of the Malachian Empire assumes no liability for any adverse effects that arise from the use of these substances. Participation in any ceremony involving the use of DMT or Ayahuasca is done at the participant's own risk.
Contraindications: Drugs and Medications
The religious ceremonies and sacred practices at Eternal Self Ministries often involve the use of Ayahuasca & DMT, natural substances known for their strong psychotropic effects. While these substances have been used safely in religious and spiritual ceremonies for centuries, there can be contraindications when combined with certain medications or drugs.
It is absolutely vital for any participant to be transparent about their medical history and current medication usage, both prescription and over-the-counter, as well as any illicit substances. This includes but is not limited to antidepressants, especially those in the class of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), blood pressure medications, immune system modulators, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and certain common over-the-counter medications like decongestants.
Additionally, the use of illicit substances including but not limited to cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA (ecstasy), and certain prescription medications not taken as prescribed, can interact dangerously with Ayahuasca & DMT.
The combination of these substances with Ayahuasca & DMT can lead to severe health risks including hypertension, heart attack, serotonin syndrome, and in rare cases, even death.
It is also important to consider the psychological readiness for participating in a ceremony involving Ayahuasca & DMT, as these substances can bring up intense and sometimes disturbing emotional and psychological material.
Your safety is our utmost priority at Eternal Self Ministries. It is your responsibility to inform us about your health condition and medication usage. We recommend seeking advice from a healthcare professional if you are unsure. Your honesty and transparency are key to ensuring your safety and maximizing the potential benefits of the ceremony.
The Eternal Self Ministries cannot be held liable for any health issues or adverse effects arising due to the participant's failure to disclose their full medical history and medication usage, and failure to comply with the guidelines set forth.
