BEAUTIFUL AND RELAXING EXPERIENCE
Clarifying positions on shamanic experiences, shamanic ceremonies are ancient rituals to connect with nature and use its power to connect with yourself and heal. However, there are many myths about it and since the only way to confront a myth is to educate and inform yourself about it, we are going to start this blog by defining concepts and terms about it. Shamanism refers to the traditional practices with which our ancestors diagnosed and cured human suffering. Its ceremonies are practices based on the use of the power of nature and the connection with it, to heal ourselves.
The first myth to debunk is that when it comes to shamanic ceremonies, not everything revolves around Ayahuasca. Ayahuasca may be one of the most well-known plants for ceremonies, but it is not the only one. There are many different types of plants, each one depending on the tradition to which it responds.
In our recommended Casa de Salud, for example, they do not work with Ayahuasca.
The tradition of Ikka is Inca and therefore they work with Andean plants whose uses were learned in the Andes. Ayahuasca may be one of the best known, because many people have actually made money from it, but it is not the only one. There are also chacruna and some others, which depend on the tradition to which we entrust ourselves. Shamanism is a millenary tradition spread in many cultures with very different tints. very different shades. Each has its own essence, its own lineage and its own way of use. For this reason, It is therefore essential that you know well in which one you are going to internalize. It is also very important to understand that this is not a psychedelic trip that you will make with your friends in thevwith your buddies in the mountains. This is an ancient tradition of healing the body through the soul. Seeing it as such is the first step to enjoying it deeply.
Shamanism and its ceremonies are traditions of different worldviews. The vision with this travel works, as we mentioned, is of Andean inspiration. Each of the practices is a cosmovision anchored to a territory. And this is a serious subject that must be treated with respect. In shamanism, to make use of other inspirations is a crime and it is known to be a crime inspirations is a crime and is known as biopiracy.
A few years ago, for example, a well-known corporation was sued in Europe over the issue. They created oligopolies that prioritised economic profit over the spirituality of the ceremony. This is why reports of malpractice, scams and the discovery of pseudo-shamans in practice are proliferating. And that is why we must debunk these myths. No plant used in shamanic ceremonies is a drug. You are not going to get out of this by being addicted. That is the next myth we need to bust. As mentioned above, this is not a game or a psychedelic trip with friends to see colours. This is an ancient ceremony, not a drug. Beware of going where you don’t know. These are strong plants and age-old traditions. Again, this is not a game, but with care, guidance from a true shaman and respect, there is no danger.
The intermediary between the two worlds in the ceremony is the shaman. He is the one who connects the spiritual part, from which the energy comes, with the human part of us. He is the one who enters the world of the spirits and communicates with them in a trance state to get help in healing. It is necessary that the person performing the ritual knows what he or she is doing. doing. And here we are not just talking about knowing the details and steps of the technique. Here we are talking about mastering and understanding the chant, the dance and the history of the mechanism to be used is a plant to be used. The plant is a living spirit that teaches. Therefore there has to be a cultural, spiritual and origin background to understand it in depth. It is this spirit that helps us to deal with anxiety, psychosomatic illnesses and anxiety, psychosomatic illnesses and any other illnesses that have a psycho-emotional psycho-emotional framework. ‘A doctor is not going to operate in the middle of lunch, it requires a protocol. It’s the same with traditional medicine. It’s delicate and needs to be contextualised’. Respect for ceremony includes understanding that these are not allusions and catharsis. catharsis. They are experiments to connect with ourselves and to achieve healing and healing from it. healing and healing from it.
It is part of human freedom to experiment for whatever purpose one wants to. But it is necessary to understand that a ceremony is much more than that. It is the experience of healing from the teachings of an ancient culture.The shaman is the connection and the guide, however, it is
necessary not to fall from a myth. The shaman is often seen and has been believed to be an omnipotent character, who in some cases, is processed as an idiolatry. This is the gateway to deception The shaman isindeed a person who is blameless in the eyes of the community. But to believe that he has power is the worst myth of the ceremony. The power is not his, it is nature. With a little knowledge of the culture, you can tell when it is a amalgamation of contraptions, versus an ancestral heritage of a people. Knowing this is fundamental to avoid the risks that could be incurred in the practice of the ceremony.
It’s not a party, it’s a connection with nature. There is a radical difference between ‘taking a weed and partying’ and experiencing aceremony as such. Shamanic traditions are learned in the forest, in nature. That is why it is important is to look for a ceremony that is connected to nature. In a ceremony in nature, we will be sitting for more than 8 hours, under the commitment and responsibility of the shaman. This is the only way to connect and to return home, learned how to change our external reality, from the connection with the internal. This is the healthy essence of this unique experience.
