Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is a traditional medicine used by the shamans of the Amazon since ancient times. It is made through the decoction of a vine that grows in the jungle (Ayahuasca, from which the concoction takes its name), along with the leaves of another plant, Chacruna. The result is a potion with strong healing power. Upon entering the body, the substance, which mainly contains DMT, produces —among other effects— alterations in perception and cognition that allow certain doors that our brain had closed to open, in most cases as a self-defense mechanism. In this way, we can bring to consciousness the traumas and conflicting experiences that have happened throughout our lives, many of which our conscious part hides under the rug as if it never existed, so that we do not have to live with that. pain . What happens is that it is still there, unknowingly conditioning many aspects of our existence, of our relationship with others and with ourselves.
Opening up to the Ayahuasca experience allows us to release this information, bringing healing and self-knowledge of our own soul.
