Experience non-ordinary states of consciousness!

The earliest forms on earth were plants. The Plant Kingdom provides not only bodybuilding foods and calories but also vitamins essential for metabolic regulation. Plants also yield active principles employed as medicines. A few plants, however, have inexplicable effects that transport the soul to realms of ethereal wonder. These plants are the hallucinogens. "

These Sacred plants produce changes in perception, thought and mood but seldom do they produce mental confusion, memory loss or disorientation for person, place and time."

These plants were the residences of divinities or other spiritual forces. Some were considered Gods. The intimate relationship between the human and plant world is easily discerned, but the production of substances profoundly affecting the mind and spirit is often not so easily recognized. These are the plants that make up the substance of Plant of the Gods,” By Richard Evans Shultes and Albert Hofmann.

Ayahuaska-the Vine of the Soul:
The hallucinogen is prepared in a selected place where only high vibrations of thought are accepted. Its preparation is sacred and a person must have trained extensively before attempting to work with Teacher Plants. Ceremonies begin with Icarios, a light whistling sound made by the Shaman when he honors the Spirit and Powers of the medicine. Depending on the preparation, a Shaman determines the type of Ayahuaska which will be utilized for the particular ceremony. My Teacher Koronte’, stated, “There are different types of Ayahuaska plants. The medicine is prepared with additional varieties of plants that produce particular results." My teacher Koronte’, worked with four of the five specific Ayahuaska plants.

My teacher, Koronté, Master Ayahuaskero Shaman explained that there were five types of Ayahuaska: ( more about this in my book or E-book.

Pachaqutec-The Transformation of the World

You can purchase my books on line at Amazon or on my web site: www.PachamamaOneWorld.com Rainbow Ayahuaska is always accompanied by soft rain and bright colorful visions.
Cielo (sky) Ayahuaska produces bright visions and planetary travel.
Thunder Ayahuaska is of a different intensity; if you have great issues to work with this particular combination will test your limits.
Wedding Ayahuaska-only done for couples that are marrying and have done other Ayahuaska ceremonies.
Black Ayahuaska used only by powerful sorcerers or shamans who have completed intense year long diets. It is rare to find this type of a practitioner.

During the ceremony the Shaman begins the blessing by a whistling sound called Icarios and some Shamans use Cantos. The music and songs that accompany the ceremony illicit profound experiences that transport a person to states of non-ordinary reality. When Koronte’ played El Arco, its indelible sound had profound life-lasting effects. The drum, harmonica and accordion are also used. The music is one of the most fantastic aspects of the experience and your alignment with it will have profound effects that can only be experienced and not talked about. I’ve written about these Ayahuaska ceremonies extensively in my books.

Ayahuaska, the Vine of the Soul is known to Shamans thought out South America and is considered to be, the Mother of all teacher plants. Its effects and healing properties are tremendous and have long lasting benefits. This sacred plant Ayahuaska is used primarily in South America. It can free the soul from corporal confinement, allowing it to wander free and return to the body at will. The soul, thus untrammeled, liberates it owner from the realities of every day life and introduces him to wondrous realms of what he considers reality and permits him to communicate with his ancestors. The drink is employed for prophecy, divination, sorcery, and healing. It is deeply rooted in native mythology and philosophy and there can be no doubt of its great properties.

Names: Peyote in Mexico and the United States and San Pedro in South America

“Speak to the Peyote with your heart, with your thoughts and the Peyote sees your heart . . . and if you have luck, you will hear things and receive things that are invisible to others, but that god has given you to pursue your path.” Huichol novice shaman

Despite the persecution and suppression when the New World, was conquered the sacred Peyote survived and has been used in sacred ceremony by shamans throughout Mexico. Its use spread to North America. Unquestionably the most spectacular vision-inducing plant is firmly established in sacramental practices. The sacred cactus is used for healings and visions.

In Mexico the Huichol are the only ones who harvest Peyote. There is a sacred location where the plant grows and where shamans go to harvest. Everything is done through ritual and days of fasting.

In South American Countries San Pedro or San Pedrito (term of endearment) is known as the male plant and ceremonies can be done at daytime or nighttime. The effects of the medicine are remarkable and when Don Pedrito works with you his magical presence is not soon forgotten. If however; you require stronger medicine San Pedro will assist you as well. A great balancer for women with male issues, or men with male issues or just anyone that wants life changes.

Mushrooms:
Perhaps no one is best known for her work with the Sacred Mushrooms than the late Mazatec Shaman, Maria Sabina, who described the power of the intoxicating effects with deep reverence, attributing their god given effects beyond ordinary reality. Maria Sabina was world-renowned and had many dignitaries and presidents visit her for her healing work with the sacred fungi.

There are many different types of mushrooms some are used for visions and others are used for healings. In some instances as with all sacred plants an individual may favor one particular plant over another.

“The more you go inside the world of Tonanacatl, the more things are seen. And you also see our past and our future, which are there together as a single thing already achieved, already happened. . . I saw stolen horses and buried cities, the existence of which was unknown and they are going to be brought to light. Millions of things I saw and knew. I knew and saw God. An immense clock that ticks the spheres that go slowly around, and inside the stars, the earth, the entire universe, the day and the night, the cry and the smile, the happiness and the pain. He who knows the secrets of Tonanacatl can even see the infinite clockwork,” Maria Sabina

Like all sacred teacher plants you will get what you need at the present time of the experience and visions, wisdom, knowledge and understanding may open your awareness for expanded or renewed consciousness. Mushrooms bring beautiful visions and great teachings.

There have been terms of endearments attributed to the Sacred Mushroom as little flower, tonanacatl (divine flesh) by the Aztecs. Chants generally accompany the all night ceremonies.

Questions that you may ask yourself in order to be prepared for these ceremonies:

These ceremonies are for those individuals that feel that inner hunger that conventionality will not satisfy. There is today a need for spiritual fulfillment, a life long search for some meaning for this process called life. There’s always been something gnawing inside of you telling you that there is more to all of what life means or what you believe.

Is this just another step on the path? Have your steps been less than complete? Have you been found lacking? Have you been steeped in dogma, told that you were born in sin, gone to psychiatrists, mediated with the best of them from the Dali Lama to Muktananda and Deepak Chopra? Still needing more than is available?

Perhaps you have read everything form A to Z and still there is something missing. You’ve attended countless seminars and many workshops or gone on retreats and still, there is something undone! In addition you have done your inner child work and confronted your parents. You’ve done your anger work and have gotten closer, yet you are not where you wish to be.

Were Psychedelics a part of your experience? Do you live in Fear? Have you ever really known what Peace is or feels like? Is Fear and being Afraid the same? Are you ready to find out things about your self that you didn’t know? If you hide your feelings, do you remember where you hid them? Have you ever wanted to live fully functional and work with the presence of the Great Spirit?

Teacher plant ceremonies are a sacred endeavor that requires pure intent and a sober mind for stupendous results.
