Drink
Ayahuaska in Peru
View Original Description
The Peruvian city of Iquitos hosts the annual International Amazonian Shamanism Conference and is home to a number of lodges that cater to inquisitive foreigners seeking the experience of ingesting the potion, Ayahuaska, hoping for spiritual growth and development. The word “Ayahuaska” is from the ancient Inca language and means “rope of the soul”. The drink “Ayahuaska” is made from a blend of rainforest ingredients and is thought to provide access to spiritual planes not otherwise reachable, according to the teachings of the Shamans.
Ayahuasca ceremonies are performed at night and can last for hours. During the Ayahuasca ceremony the Shaman leads the participants through Shaman songs said to be first given by spirits of nature. Upon consumption of the sacred drink, Ayahuasca has been reported to have a profound action on the body, mind, emotions and spirit that is said to allow the participant to confront and conquer their most intrinsic fears, reinvigorate life energies and ultimately awaken a higher level of consciousness. The ceremony is believed by practitioners to open a connection to spirituality that will last a lifetime. Ayahuasca purportedly does not produce any sort of dependency but is thought to heal bodies, minds and souls. Some unpleasant side effects of the ceremony have been reported that Ayahuasca can cause vomiting, diarrhea, swelling and other effects of the purification process.
