Ayahuasca-Yage open your heart to healing
• For those who seek to find the light which will illuminate their life’s path. • For those who seek to find awareness with the help of their higher self. • For those who seek an alternative form of therapy to conventional western medicine. • For those who have begun their journey with this spiritual plant and wish to continue the evolution and expansion of consciousness. Ayahuasca or Yagé (its Colombian name) is a mixture of two plants that grow in the Amazon, the vine, Banisteriopsis caapi and the leaves of chacruna. A medicinal drink is derived from this combination that the indigenous people have used for thousands of years for its healing properties and its benefits for body and soul. The Yagé ceremonies initiate the participant into the experience of this holy plant. The process can be thought of as a rite of passage in which a person can pass from one state of consciousness to another. The objective of the ceremony is for each participant to experience and understand that it is a process of self-healing and that the use of the medicinal plant, while essential, is only a therapeutic tool in the healing process. It depends on each participant’s willingness and determination to use this experience and the acquired states of consciousness to benefit their own healing and personal development. Neither the ceremony nor the medicinal plants will solve anything, but they will offer their wisdom and spiritual strength to show the right path. They will help us find solutions to enable us to live a healthy way of life and to be in harmony with each other and the world around us. What Does Yagé Do? Holistic medicine assumes that many of our physical and psychological problems manifest in energetic blockage caused by traumatic experiences, social conflicts, personal anxiety, and life’s dissatisfactions. What if we were capable to view reality from the other side of the mirror? What if we ourselves had the key to reconstruct our life? Yagé is used as an alternative treatment for problems of body and soul. It is a basic tool of transpersonal psychology. On a physical level it works as purification - a process of natural detoxification. On a spiritual level, the cleansing process is the key that will open the doors of perception - to experience reality from an infinite space of pure energy. Changing Our System of Obsolete Beliefs Yagé can help with many issues such as degenerative diseases, metabolic disease, eating disorders, menstrual problems, neurological disorders, types of addiction, sleeping problems, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, patterns of negative thinking and difficult life situations. Through the process of inner reflection and profound introspection we can find a new orientation in life. These new perspectives can help us understand that it is we who create our own reality and to reconnect with an essential living aspect that is part of being human. The shamanic tradition of this ritual usually creates a narrative by offering its mythic context and archetypal insight which makes it necessary to face one’s past, one’s ancestors and the unconscious. This is essential in order to re-emerge as a new person, free of attachment, and ascend in a symbolic journey towards the light. This experience is to some extent a therapeutic process that enables us to confront trauma–both in the sense of morphogenetic information made accessible through the narrative and the related images, as well as in the corresponding brain activity and the activated neural components. There is an astonishing correlation between the flights of imagination and the corresponding electrochemical activity, so to speak, between mind and matter.
