WE ARE HEALERS, MEN OF MEDICINE
¿How to be a doctor, healer or a shaman?
“Onaya (healer in the Shipibo language) is a person with an unbreakable will and a steadfast mind. Their thoughts carry power, and they hold a clear vision that allows them to perceive and understand all.”
First, one must have a pure heart, as there are many paths within the world of Ayahuasca. Power is not used solely to help; for this reason, there are those known as "brujos","sorcerers", "brúmanos", and others. It is essential to know whether a healer walks a straight path, for only then can they help guide the lives of others and purify hearts.”
Second, the Onaya is someone who has received power, wisdom, and love from the plants and their guardian spirits, commonly known as the ‘owners’ of the plants. These guardians bestow their power upon humans through the sama, or diet. The sama is a process hrough which a person purifies both, the physical and spiritual body in order to receive the medicine of the plants. The minimum time one must diet in order to heal others is six months for each plant. Through this demanding journey, one goes deeply inward and into the world of medicine, while finding peace, clarity, and wisdom along the way.
There are two fundamental types of plant diets: the masculine "palos" which are large trees such as noya rao, bobinsana, ajos kiro, aya huma, renaquilla, chihuahuaco, among others; and the feminine plants, or ‘warmi,’ which are aromatic plants such as piri piri, ajosacha, ruda, unca, jazmín, hampy rosaand many others. From all of these plants and trees, one may work with different parts, including the roots, bark, trunk, leaves, or seeds. Each plant teaches and strengthens us, offering different forms of power—some for healing, some for love, some for prosperity, and others for specific illnesses.
This is a tradition that the Amazonian peoples inherited from the Inkas. Without the diet, one cannot heal.
At Luz de Luz, our healers and doctors have a minimum of 10 years of experience dieting master plants.
