AYAHUASCA HEALING RETREATS

EFFECTS OF AYAHUASCA DURING CEREMONY

The ceremonies are performed inside the maloka or ceremonial hall. During the ceremonies we are in noble silence, in a meditative process, focused and relaxed, we give instructions on the process and guidance to be able to cope with the effects of the mother plant.The effect varies depending on the physical and emotional constitution. It can manifest for short periods, purgative physical and emotional symptoms, vomiting, diarrhea, temperature changes, sweating or body tremor.All these effects have a connection to our emotions and what we have repressed, fears, bitterness, sadness.After the purge comes an understanding, light, clarity and relief. We feel lighter and happier and we find the rainbow after the storm. This feeling could be indescribable because it is different for each one, the process of letting go and freeing ourselves of loads of the mind and learn to be present, in gratitude for what there is and what there is not.The energy and vibration change, our physical appearance, way of thinking and perspectives are amplified in a positive way, because the plant wants to see us flourish and grow, even though sometimes we have to be in the darkness of the seed.Just as the mind is healed, the body is also healed and the soul can rest in peace

MEDICINE

AYAHUASCA

Ayahuasca is one of the powerful medicinal plants that exist in the Amazon. It is called a Master Plant because it teaches us about ourselves, how to heal ourselves and how to find our own path to healing to improve different aspects of our lives, allowing for transformation by letting go of certain habits that led us to the imbalance of our being, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Ayahuasca guides us into a deep meditative process and teaches us gently and sometimes in a challenging but always profound way, depending on how the one who journey’s with Ayahuasca’s mind is. Ayahuasca may challenge your ego, your fears and ability to surrender and trust in the process. When Ayahuasca enters one’s being during the ceremony it scans and checks every part of the body. Each molecule and cell integrates and becomes one with us beginning to cleanse and release physical blockages and emotions - for this reason purgative effects also come. They help us to release and to liberate toxins from the body, repressed emotions, mechanisms that we have created within our being to supposedly protect ourselves. Ayahuasca explores our subconscious, taking us into a regression, returning to moments that affects us in different stages of our lives such as traumas from childhood, birth or when we were in our mother’s womb. It shows us everything that we have been absorbing along the way and how that has been blocking us from being present and effecting our relationships unconsciously. Through this journey, we start to understand the patterns that we follow and that are not healthy for our personal spiritual growth.Mother Ayahuasca helps us to feel that we are one with the Universe, that we are born with a deep connection and reconnects us to our essence, purity simplicity and what’s natural that society, stress, chaos and conditioning based on doctrines, religions or fanaticism may disconnect us from. She helps us feel that everything is perfect, that we are a part of a divine plan, expanding awareness of ourselves and to appreciate and value ourselves as we are without fear and judgment. We then can become free of mind and the attachments our mind holds onto allowing life to be experienced with more depth and from our hearts. Ayahuasca takes us through a process of self-exploration and of self-growth - helping us mature our thoughts and return to the root and the nature of who we are which is state of peace.

Kambo or the vaccine of the jungle is one of the names given to this wonderful medicine. The scientific name of this frog is 'Phyllomedusa bicolor' or "Giant Monkey Frog".Different tribes of the Amazon as the Matses of Peru, Hunikuin, Katukinas of Brazil and other tribes used the power of this medicine to free themselves from Panema (name given to negative energies), improve their defenses, cleanse their body, improve different abilities by being more sensitive as well as for the art of hunting and as a powerful medicine against malaria, snake bites, yellow fever and other epidemic diseases.Scientific research on the secretion of this frog began in the 1980s. Nominated for the Nobel Prize, Italian scientist Vittorio Erspamer of the University of Rome wrote that this secretion contains a "fantastic chemical cocktail, with possible medical applications, unmatched by any other amphibian. So far, researchers have found nine bioactive peptides that have a potent effect on gastrointestinal muscles, gastric and pancreatic secretions, blood circulation, and in stimulating the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland.The chemical reactions it produces in the human body.

- For people with different types of addictions, treatment with this medicine can help them get rid of all the toxic residues they have inoculated in their body, through constant treatment, changes in diet, the negative circle that surrounds it and creating new habits that help the patient.Kambo treatments have both short and long term effects. "In the short term, the effects are a state of alertness, good mood, increased resistance to fatigue; the ability to focus and concentrate more easily, and a mental calmness that can last for several days or weeks.In the long term Kambo empowers the immune system, overcomes fatigue and improves health status.
My experience with kambo manifested itself 8 years ago, after multiple applications to continue my detoxification and regeneration process.Pacco’s training with kambo was guided by the teaching of grandmother ayahuasca, opening intuition, empathy and understanding in each patient, using different techniques and medicinal plants to accompany the processes and diseases of people.During this time Pacco has been accompanying and relieving different pathological and psychic cases, such as epilepsy, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia, allergies, chronic pain, addictions, anxiety and depression.
