Hampicamayoc Traditional Medicine Center of the Peruvian Indian Movement
A view of our historical development process enables us to recognize the great efforts of our ancestors who have performed in response to the need to adapt to their environment, and thanks to that effort that we are witnessing the creation of forms of organization, power, communication and medicine, from emerging companies to reach the formation of high societies like our brothers Aymara, Quechua, Incas and our Amazon; process of great civilization evolutionary state, but ostentatiously truncated by Western interference, which must never forget, and that meant finding painful to watch as they lose wise forms of community organization, food, language and traditional medicinal use.
Today's society is asleep having been divorced from our Pacha and is also sick with severe hunger, insecurity, alcoholism, drug addiction, stress, disease which then lead to incurable diseases of this "modern society."
Fortunately, thanks to the isolation of the modern world and in many cases to the indifference of governments, the Peruvian Amazon has been maintain the use of traditional medicine, being a botanical emporium where there are a number of medicinal plants that are possibly even cure the ills associated with cities, and this is the case of the traditional use of Ayahuasca Sacred.
Ayahuasca, Banisteriopsis caapi, a liana vine or plant that physicians traditionally use the plant as defined as a teacher for ayahuasca excelencia.La combined with another plant, the chacruna, Psychotria viridiris up a drink or "chicha", as ayahuasqueros, which in turn is called ayahuasca.
This chicha physical works as a debugger, for meditation, energy balances and awakens intuition. What
translated into Runa Simi or Quechua, aya = spirit and huasca = rope and resulted in the name traditionally called "ayahuasca" poorly translated as "rope of death", it would be appropriate "rope to the spirit."
The "mother of the rope" is the chacruna, a female spirit that shows to vegan causes of diseases and plants to use for healing. Ayahuasca chacruna
not only purgative effects. However for vegans the master plant par excellence is the ayahuasca.
The chacruna contains a hormone that causes the human brain Naturally, dimethyltryptamine and is the one that produces the visions, which however is inactive orally because the digestive system to get destroyed by an enzyme would be the same, monoamine oxidase. It is precisely the ayahuasca which contains several substances that protect the hormone assault of this enzyme. This is where we find once again the great wisdom of our ancestors in selecting, among the eighty thousand species of higher plants in our jungle, leaves of a shrub that contains a precise brain hormone, and combine with a vine that just contains the substance blocking the action of a digestive enzyme needed for that and can pass the stream protected blood and thus reach the brain.
To participate in a ceremony of ayahuasca medicine requires advance preparation through diet should avoid eating certain foods and other consumption suggests that allow participants to be more receptive.
The traditional ceremony of ayahuasca includes the use of snuff or Sayri in Runa Simi, who acts as an element of protection and healing, but this would be incomplete without the guidance of the songs or "Icaros" are tunes born of dialogue with the plant and achieve relaxation of the participants and they mark the path of spiritual journey through the visions.
Thus, the medicine ayahuasca acts as an activator psycho expanding the common use of our brain capacity according to studies is approximately 8% thus allowing us to expand our perceptive, analysis, etc.
A form of healing is in the form of "purging" of physical, psychological, spiritual, through vomiting, laughing, crying, or visions that show us the way and exit to our conditions.
Many people refer to our ayahuasca as a hallucinogen or a drug which is not true because if the visions are detected in reality no longer include hallucinations and that There are no known cases that have generated a dependency as if it is in the case of drugs. Our dear mother
ayahuasca acts on a physical level or organic, solving or advising on such bodily conditions, also on a psychological level, bringing to mind the psychological problems of childhood or even problems resulting from stress and active in a spiritual plane which is a higher level that allows us to commune with our inner being and the infinite cosmos.
must also express our concern in the practice of ayahuasca is being done in cities and abroad without the proper knowledge, and perhaps with a desire purely mercantilist, even at the risk of damaging the integrity of the participants.
In this sense we are holding conferences and sessions of healing with Ayahuasca and we are working on the issue of traditional medicine in a project that seeks to institutionalize our medicine and spirituality. Hernan Campos Yopán
