New Year’s Resolution:Purify Body, Mind & Soul…following the timeless path of ancient Shamans & Yogis.
The call has arrived for profound cleansing.
For the next 12 days, my wife & I enter dieta — the sacred Amazonian practice of the Shipibo people.In Shipibo tradition, it is called Sama: a vow of fasting, solitude, prayer and intimate communion with Master Plant spirits.
No salt.No sugar.No spices.No red meat, eggs or pork.No dairy.No alcohol.No social media.No coffee.No sex.No phone.No talking.No work.
Only silence…the breath of the jungle…and the wisdom of the medicine.
My wife and I, each in our own simple tambo deep in the Amazon, held by Shipibo maestros, their Master Plants, and the healing vibrations of ícaros — the songs that gently call the soul back home.
This isn’t escape.It’s return — to clarity, humility, and the living intelligence of Nature.
May this New Year guide us all toward deeper alignment, purified hearts, and a nervous system that remembers true peace 🌿🕉️Om Shanti 🤍
