Ayahuasca & San Pedro
Ayahuasca and San Pedro are the main sacred plants of Peru and other South American countries (principally Brasil, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia). Since the remote ancient times both of these are respected as teaching or master plants. Consideration of these plants as teachers, points to the kind of experience that they are related to – insightful, guiding and sometimes life-changing.
Ayahuasca is a shamanic tea, a decoction made from two medicinal plants – Ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis Caapi) and Chacruna (Psychotria Viridis) leaves. Ayahuasca brew is probably the closest to the human biochemistry, giving an experience of strong cleansing, though literally transparent, leaving no traces on a physical level and profoundly awakening on the emotional and spiritual level. This sacred, ancient shamanic brew, usually consumed in the night in the ritual context, called a ceremony, gives visions, emetic effects, insights and provides deeper knowledge about oneself. Through the visions and insights, in the inner space of amplified perception and awareness, a person sees and gets to know more clearly one’s own inner world. Ayahuasca experience represents the feminine (Mother) aspect of the shamanic medicine, giving a very dynamic experience of a divine dance into one’s personal experience, know for its teachings of embracing, acceptance, surrender and letting go.
San Pedro is a preparation of a cactii of the Andean origin (Trichocereus pachanoi and T. Peruvianus) taken usually in a daytime ritual setting, though the night rituals are not uncommon. Similarly to Ayahuasca, the participant of a ritual gets into a high sensitivity and subtle perception of the energy, wether of inner or outer origin. Through this experience a person opens up the possibilities to directly connect to one’s own body, emotions, to see and understand deeply the origins of one’s pain and suffering, as well as to become aware of the surrounding nature and of the magical nature of life. San Pedro experience represents the masculine (Father) aspect of the shamanic medicine, teaching us our natural state of spaciousness and great natural peace that we carry through all of our life. San Pedro reminds us, wakes us up to our still nature as a mountain lake in which awareness takes place instantly at every moment.
