The promise of a shaman If you come to me as a victim I will not support you. But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering. I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth. I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and you will vomit the rage and the darkness inside you. I'll bang your body with good herbs, and I'll put you to lay in the grass, face up to the sky. Then I will blow your crown to clean the old memories that make you repeat the same behavior. I will blow your forehead to scare away the thoughts that cloud your vision. I will blow your throat to release the knot that won't let you talk. I will blow your heart to scare fear, so that it goes far away where it cannot find you. I will blow your solar plexus to extinguish the fire of the hell you carry inside, and you will know peace. I will blow with fire your belly to burn the attachments, and the love that was not. I will blow away the lovers that left you, the children that never came. I will blow your heart to make you warm, to rekindle your desire to feel, create and start again. I will blow with force your vagina or your penis, to clean the sexual door to your soul. I will blow away the garbage that you collected trying to love what did not wanted to be loved. I will use the broom, and the sponge, and the rag, and safely clean all the bitterness inside you. I will blow your hands to destroy the ties that prevent you from creating. I will blow your feet to dust and erase the footprints memories, so you can never return to that bad place. I will turn your body, so your face will kiss the earth. I'll blow your spine from the root to the neck to increase your strength and help you walk upright. And I will let you rest. After this you will cry, and after crying you will sleep, And you will dream beautiful and meaningful dreams, and when you wake up I'll be waiting for you. I will smile at you, and you will smile back I will offer you food that you will eat with pleasure, tasting life, and I will thank you. Because what I’m offering today, was offered to me before when darkness lived within me. And after I was healed, I felt the darkness leaving, and I cried. Then we will walk together, and I will show you my garden, and my plants, and I will take you to the fire again. And will talk together in a single voice with the blessing of the earth. And we will shout to the forest the desires of your heart. And the fire will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together. And the mountains will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together. And the rivers will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together. And the wind will listen and whisper the echo, and we will create hope together. And then we will bow before the fire, and we will call upon all the visible and invisible guardians. And you will say thank you to all of them. And you will say thank you to yourself. And you will say thank you to yourself. And you will say thank you to yourself. ~ author unknown

Shamanism is a spiritual practice that involves communicating with the spirit world and harnessing its energy for healing and guidance. Shamans, also known as medicine men or women, are typically recognised as spiritual leaders in their communities and use a variety of techniques to enter altered states of consciousness and connect with the spiritual realm. These techniques can include drumming, chanting, dancing, and the use of psychoactive plants or substances. Shamanic practices vary widely across different cultures and traditions, but they often involve the use of symbols, rituals, and storytelling to help individuals connect with their own inner wisdom and the wisdom of the natural world. Shamans may use their abilities to heal physical and emotional ailments, provide guidance and insight, and perform ceremonies for important life events, such as births and deaths. Today, shamanism continues to be practiced by various indigenous communities around the world, as well as by individuals seeking spiritual growth and personal transformation.

Highlights In the Upper Amazon, mestizos are the Spanish-speaking descendants of Hispanic colonizers and the indigenous peoples of the jungle. Author(s): Stephan V Beyer 544 Pages Social Science, Anthropology Description About the Book This accessible study of ayahuasca shamanism introduces its ritual practices including healers' spiritual relationships with the native plants used in its ceremonies. Book Synopsis In the Upper Amazon, mestizos are the Spanish-speaking descendants of Hispanic colonizers and the indigenous peoples of the jungle. Some mestizos have migrated to Amazon towns and cities, such as Iquitos and Pucallpa; most remain in small villages. They have retained features of a folk Catholicism and traditional Hispanic medicine, and have incorporated much of the religious tradition of the Amazon, especially its healing, sorcery, shamanism, and the use of potent plant hallucinogens, including ayahuasca. The result is a uniquely eclectic shamanist culture that continues to fascinate outsiders with its brilliant visionary art. Ayahuasca shamanism is now part of global culture. Once the terrain of anthropologists, it is now the subject of novels and spiritual memoirs, while ayahuasca shamans perform their healing rituals in Ontario and Wisconsin. Singing to the Plants sets forth just what this shamanism is about--what happens at an ayahuasca healing ceremony, how the apprentice shaman forms a spiritual relationship with the healing plant spirits, how sorcerers inflict the harm that the shaman heals, and the ways that plants are used in healing, love magic, and sorcery.
