Healing With Ayahuasca By: ross heaven | - Ayahuasca is a magical rainforest medicine made from ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) and the leaves of the chacruna plant (Psychotria viridis).
The mixture is prepared by cleaning specially-chosen vines and adding them and the leaves to water. This is then boiled and reduced for several hours, attended by shamans who blow their intentions and good wishes (soplada) into it, make prayers to their spirits for good healings and singing icaros (sacred healing songs) into the brew ...

Plant Spirit Shamanism: Planta Maestras The Shaman's Teachers Part 2 By: ross heaven | - MOCURA/MUCURA: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EMOTIONAL STRENGTH
One of the qualities of this plant is its ability to boost one's psychological and emotional strength. For this reason it is regarded as a great balancer', restoring connection and equilibrium between our rational mind and feelings. For example, it is good at countering shyness and can enhance one's sense of personal value and authority by helping to overcome painful memories (of past embarrassments and fail ...

It can be difficult to find discrete ... Tags:Plant Spirit Shamanism, soul loss, healing, herbs, herbalism, aromatherapy, homeopathy, teacher plants, stalking
Plant Spirit Shamanism: Floral Baths By: ross heaven | - In Peru, floral baths known as banos florales (flower baths') are a staple of shamanic healing from the high Andes to the Amazon basin, where they are used to wash away unhelpful spirits so that blockages are removed and the energy of the universe can flood in to correct the imbalance.
Shipibo shaman, Artidoro, describes the process in Peru.

Ayahuasca Shaman And Peruvian Mystic, Alonso Del Rio Interviewed By: Howard G Charing | - Alonso del Rio is a powerful maestro who interweaves Shipibo and other icaros with sacred music of his own to lead you on your journey; he is both a talented musician and an inspiring communicator of the Amazonian shamanic world. He first came into contact with ayahuasca in 1979 after spending three years working with huachuma (San Pedro). This was when he met Don Benito Arevalo, a grand Shipibo shaman with whom he developed a long relationship, and who gave him his first teachings in ayahuasca ...

Icaros, The Magical Chants Of The Ayahuasca Shamans. By: Howard G Charing | - I recall one night time Ayahuasca ceremony, held in a small clearing in the Amazon rainforest. It was a beautiful clear night, there was no moon, and the sky was filled with hundreds of thousands of glistening stars; just looking up at the sky made my head swim. We were surrounded by trees and bushes, but could only discern their shapes and silhouettes. It felt as if I was in nature's primordial theatre. When I had drank the Ayahuasca, the shaman started to chant his Icaros, and within a few min ...

Ayahuasca & Visionary Plants - Companions To The Soul By: Howard G Charing | - I decided to write from my own personal perspective from my years of work and research in the Amazon Rainforest with the shamans and curanderos who drink the visionary plant brew called Ayahuasca. I use the term shaman' as a convenience as this title has only been imported' from the West into the Amazon quite recently in the past thirty years or so. A more appropriate general term could be vegatilista' or a seer and healer who work with plants from not only the physical or medicinal aspec ...

Ayahuasca Retreats Interview With An Amazonian Shaman By: Howard G Charing | - After being virtually ignored by Western civilization for centuries, there has been a huge surge of interest in Ayahuasca recently. There is a growing belief that it is a kind of medicine for our times', giving hope to people with incurable' diseases like cancer and HIV, drug addictions and inspiring answers to the big ecological problems of modern civilization.
Ayahuasca, Sacred Medicine For The Soul Part 2 By: Howard G Charing | - I discovered that Ayahuasca is a medicine, so unlike the Western understanding, a medicine which works on every level, on the physical and non-physical beings, our consciousness, our emotions, and our spirit. It is as if you are drinking not just a liquid brew but imbibing an other' intelligence which knows exactly what is needed to help you. This is a communion in the true sense of the word, an intense experience of euphoria and ecstasy. A journey of deep and profoundly meaningful personal an ...

Ayahuasca, Sacred Medicine For The Soul Part 1 By: Howard G Charing | - We humans have a special relationship and dependence on plants. Since our beginnings, they have been the source both directly and indirectly of our food, our shelter, our medicines, our fuel, our clothing, and of course the very oxygen that we breathe. This is common knowledge and in general we take if for granted. Yet we view plants in our Western culture as semi-inanimate, lacking the animating force labelled soul, mind, or spirit. Many people ridicule and regard as eccentric those who speak u ...

The Shaman's Path - A Journey Into Timeless Worlds By: H G Charing | - Shamanism is not a system of belief or faith, it is a system of knowledge, and is directly experienced first hand by the senses. Shamanism has always been a way for living as humans on our planet Earth, both in balance within ourselves and the world of which we are part.
The shamans say that plants connect us with nature because they take their nourishment directly from the earth, as well as the sun's rays, the air, and water. They allow us to know and recognize ourselves. A shaman must know this and must love his people to heal them. Here are just a few of the plant healers.
The Worlds Of The Shaman - An Exploration Of Reality By: H G Charing | - Shamanism is not a system of belief or faith, it is a system of knowledge, and is directly experienced first hand by the senses. The world that Shamans work in is not a consensus reality, i.e. what we have agreed is reality. The Shaman sees i.e. experiences with all the senses. The Shaman is the mediator between the ordinary world and an alternate reality.
Soul Loss - How Shamanic Healing Can Restore Your Life Force By: H G Charing | - Many of us have heard about Soul Retrieval, which is the return of lost soul fragments (or lost parts) of ourselves. Soul Retrieval is a classical shamanic practice, and in some communities it was the primary method of maintaining health or power. The word soul equates to our life-force, and in shamanic terms we are a composite of souls', or life-force, and this explains why we can become fragmented. The Shipibo - Conibio Indians of the Upper Amazon Rainforest, for example regard every part of ...

Underlying the intricate geometric patterns of great complexity displayed in the art of the Shipibo people is a concept of an all pervading magical reality which can challenge the Western linguistic heritage and rational mind.
These patterns are more than an expression of the one-ness of creation, the inter-changeability of light and sound, the union or fusion of perceived opposites, it is an ongoing dialogue ...

Plant Spirit Shamanism - Developing Your Relationship With The Plant Spirits By: H G Charing | - Every tree, every plant, has a spirit. People may say that the plant has no mind. I tell them that the plant is alive & conscious. A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious, that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence, what makes it alive. The channels through which the water & sap move are the veins of the spirit.
Medicine For The Soul - The Plant Spirit Medicines Of The Amazon Rainforest By: H G Charing | - 'Whether the plant is to heal the body or the spirit or
whether it is part of an apprenticeship, what makes it work
is your good intention towards the plant. They are beings,
which have their own forms or they can be like human beings
with faces and bodies. When the spirit accepts the person,
and the person has the will, the spirit grants them energy.
The path to knowledge opens, and the healing takes place'
