Journey into the world of Ayahuasca and healing.
A mysterious and powerful plant medicine with curative powers that is
drunk as a tea during a sacred ceremony, Ayahuasca has been known to
change people's lives dramatically. But what was once a healing
experience practiced only by Indigenous South Americans--and sought out
by the adventurous few--has, in the past fifty years, become
increasingly popular around the world.
Hachumak, a Peruvian medicine man, has been practicing traditional
healing arts in his country for more than twenty years. His unique
approach is based on ritualistic simplicity and highlights the essence
of the Art, which includes the borrowed forces from Nature. In this
remarkable book, he shares his knowledge and experiences to broaden our
understanding of this powerful medicine and protect it from misuse and
exploitation.
Whether you are among the uninitiated and curious, or a seasoned
journeyer, you will gain a deeper understanding of what shamanism is and
how and why it works, as well as its possibilities and limitations.
Hachumak reveals his own path to becoming a shaman and explains how a
well-crafted Ayahuasca ceremony unfolds when run by an experienced
curandero. He describes in detail what to expect--both physically and
psychologically--while under the guidance of the sacred plants.
Central to the message of this book, Hachumak introduces his concepts of
Soul Consciousness and Suffering Consciousness, which are central to his
message and key to understanding the deep healing work that he performs
while also provide new insights for personal self-reflection. Suffering
Consciousness keeps us stuck in our negative ways, but when Soul
Consciousness is awakened during a ceremony or spiritual moment, our
entire being awakens, and we are shown the way to live according to the
dictates of our conscience and the teachings of the spirits. With
Hachumak as our experienced and trusted guide, Journeying Through the
Invisible offers a new and healing way of seeing ourselves and the
world around us.
