Shamanism; a journey for the ayahysca knowledge

Ayahuaska was introducing to Master Irineu Serra by the rainforest Indians. In these early experiences, he encountered the Virgin Mary (the Queen of the Forest) and began receiving the guidance, which developed into a religious doctrine throughout the remainder of his long life.
The use of ayahuasca under a variety of names is a widespread practice among various indigenous aboriginal tribes endemic to the Amazon Basin (Schultes, 1957). Such practices undoubtedly were well established in pre-Columbian times, and in fact may have been known to the earliest human inhabitants of the region. Iconographic depictions on ceramics and other artifacts from Ecuador have provided evidence that the practice dates to at least 2000 B.C. (Naranjo, 1986). Its widespread distribution among numerous Amazonian tribes also argues for its relative antiquity.
The medicinal tea prepared principally from Banisteriopsis Caapi is a Malpighiaceous jungle liana found in the tropical regions of South America.
Ayahuasca is used widely used throughout the Amazon for healing and spiritual exploration.
In Brazil, a number of modern religious movements based on the use of
ayahuasca have emerged, the most famous of them being Santo Daime
and the União do Vegetal (or UDV), usually in an animistic context that
may be shamanistic or, more often (as with Santo Daime and the UDV), integrated with Christianity.
Unfortunate some of these leagues use the daime as an excuse to take advantage of people’s faith and make profit of it. The Cefluris is a case famously known for combining drugs such as marijuana and cocaine with ayhuaska. They also are famous for taking advantage of the foreign people who visits Brasil interested in the ayahusca.
It is very important to research and make sure to visit a trustable place to try the Ayahuasca.
My younger brother has been into shamanism for over two years at the Instituto Espiritual Xamânico Céu Nossa Senhora da Conceição.
I decide to go to a shamanism ritual with him and I have to confess my life has not being the same since…
I arrived in Brazil in December 2008 knowing I needed a brake from everything in the extreme capitalist world. After eight years far from South America, I knew this trip was going to lead me to a deep change before I hit my thirties.
I already went to four-shamanism rituals and I have found so much about myself.

  1. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Cheers

  2. Hi, your blog is very interesting, especially where you mention Ayahuasca. I have been considering the possibility of visiting Brazil to experience more of this path. I live in India and have attended a Santo Daime work here, but the church here is Cefluris, and I have read some criticism about them. I have been wondering about Céu Nossa Senhora da Conceição institute. Would you recommend that as a good choice for further learning if I wish to delve deeper into this spiritual path? What other alternatives would you suggest? Thanks. Please reply at gopalkaushik@hotmail.com
