The legendary quarterback tried the drink brewed by a shaman in the Amazon and returned home feeling like it had changed his life.
The brew, prepared by a shaman or healer from ingredients with hallucinogenic properties, was recommended to Rodgers during a golf game by his friend Jordan Russell, who visited the Temple of the Way of Light healing center in Iquitos, Peru , the previous year.
O’Connor writes that Rodgers himself credited the beverage for his on-the-field performances during an appearance on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast, saying: “I really feel like that experience paved the way for me to have the best season of my career. “I had a magical experience with the sensation of feeling 100 different hands on my body imparting a blessing of love and forgiveness for myself and gratitude for this life from what seemed to be my ancestors,” he added, according to the book.Although Russell wasn’t in the Amazon with Rodgers, he says in the book that ayahuasca helped his friend reach his potential.
“I saw into who Aaron is, and I saw the reason that his potential was not being met, because his potential is not who he is on the football field. That is what has given him the platform and profile to give his gift, is the way I see it,” Russell told the author, according to an excerpt in the“I saw him for exactly who he is and it brought me to tears.
