\u00bf<\/span>How to be a doctor, healer or a shaman? <\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

\u201cOnaya (healer in the Shipibo language) is a person with an unbreakable will and a steadfast mind. <\/i><\/strong>Their thoughts carry power, and they hold a clear vision that allows them to perceive and understand all.\u201d<\/i> <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>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\",<\/span>\"sorcerers\", \"br\u00famanos\", 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.\u201d <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Second, the <\/span>Onaya<\/i><\/b> is someone who has received power, wisdom, and love from the plants and their guardian spirits, commonly known as the \u2018owners\u2019 of the plants. These guardians bestow their power upon humans through the sama, <\/i>or diet. <\/i>The sama<\/i> <\/b>is a process <\/b>hrough which a person purifies <\/b>both, the physical and spiritual body <\/b>in order to receive the medicine of the plants. <\/i><\/b>The minimum time one must diet<\/b><\/i> in order to heal others is six months for each plant.\nThrough this demanding journey, one goes deeply inward and into the world of medicine, while finding peace, clarity, and wisdom along the way. <\/p>\n

There are two fundamental types of plant diets: the masculine \"palos\" which are large trees such as <\/span>noya rao, bobinsana, ajos kiro, aya huma, renaquilla, chihuahuaco, <\/i>among others; and the feminine plants, or \u2018warmi,\u2019 which are aromatic plants such as piri piri, ajosacha, ruda, unca, jazm\u00edn, hampy rosa<\/b><\/i>and many others.\nFrom 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\u2014some for healing, some for love, some for prosperity, and others for specific illnesses. <\/p>\n

This is a tradition that the Amazonian peoples inherited from the Inkas. Without the diet, one cannot heal.<\/p>\n

At Luz de Luz, our healers and doctors have a minimum of 10 years of experience dieting<\/b><\/i> master plants. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Luz De Luz was founded by two friends, Javier and Hanan,<\/strong>guardians of sacred wisdom inherited from the time of the Inkas. Together with a team of doctors or shamans MURAYA<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0- the highest level within the Amazonian tradition y espiritual guides<\/strong> in holistic entheogenic medicine, we work to support profound processes of healing and transformation.<\/p>

Our retreat center was created with the purpose of restoring spiritual, mental, and physical balance,<\/strong>helping each person reconnect with nature, with their true essence, and with the flow of vital energy.<\/strong>.<\/p>

Through the ceremonial use of yahuasca, San Pedro, master plant diets<\/strong> and other ancestral practices, we follow a set of techniques refined through years of experience and training,<\/strong>ensuring guidance that is safe, respectful, and profound. In every process, we give equal care to the integrity of participants and the well-being of the healers,<\/strong>creating a harmonious and conscious environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
