				<div class="elementor-widget-container">
									<p>In shamanic cultures, a <i>dieta</i> (shamanic diet) does include the known concept of a nutritional diet but it is much more than that. Fasting as well as the intake of processed food are probably the only commonalities. <br>Basically, everything we ingest physically, we ingest its spirit (energy) as well. There is a merging that happens between two beings and what to come out of this union is a whole new being. <br><br>During a shamanic diet, the food is blend, neutral, simple. Something that the earth likes and that does no harm for the proper growth of that plant spirit inside of us. <br><br>As shamans commonly express, the plants were the ones who told them. They know the poisonous plants as well as the antidotes, which usually grow near the latter. They know what part of the plant to use, when, where and how to use it, the period of time to take it and in combination with what other plant, food and ritual. <br>Healing plants that grow on the land are usually dieted and to each its pharmacopeia which is usually taught to the shaman (directly or through another shaman). By shaman here, I mean a medicine wo/man too. <br>Plants, flowers, tree barks and roots, crystals, stones, … are teachers. They have been here far longer than us and they carry so much wisdom as well as their own sense of humor. <br>Those teachers can be dieted to heal specific ailments and learn their medicine. This can fall under healing the cause of illness, cleansing and straightening twisted energies (psychic attacks, spells, envy…), balancing the body and the mind, bringing clarity and connection… as well as many other tools, gifts and insights that one can learn during a <i>dieta</i> and afterwards. <br><br>A shamanic diet is usually recommended for the sick as well as for the shaman. <br>For the sick who is seeking help, a <i>dieta</i> includes one or more plant or tree with additional rituals offered and a basic food intake to cleanse the body, mind and spirit from the underlying causes of an illness.<br><span style="font-size: 18.375px; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">For the shaman, the <i>dieta</i> is essential to maintain a clear vision in line with their medicine practice.</span></p>
<p>The shaman, as the traditional doctor in the community, has the responsibility to be clean physically, clear emotionally and mentally in order to be an empty vessel for the medicine. <br>This is not only a requirement from the people but more so from Spirit. <br>In both cases, during the <i>dieta</i>, one is acting as a sick person. This includes slowing down, turning inwards, doing nothing, resting more, eating blend food, water and calming herbal teas&#8230; and not engaging with the world in order to listen again and remember.</p>
<p>My initiation to dietas started as soon as I went for my first retreat with plant medicine. <br>Over time, as I did more dietas, I started seeing the difference between dieting with others and dieting alone, dieting many medicine trees and dieting only one tree, dieting while engaging in discussions and being silent in isolation. Each dieta offered so much healing and lessons and it laid a great foundation in my life.</p>
<p>For the last four years, since I was guided to shift my medicine practice to working with the Little Saints, the Holy Children as Maria Sabina used to call them, I have been setting my own dietas in the land of Mexico.<br>This year, as I was in the diet space, I noticed that it was happening in parallel with the Christian lent before Easter and the Muslim Ramadan before the Eid. <br>How interesting is that? Fasting was in the air. <br><br>Imagining for a second that we all had the same intention: Being in Love, aligning with Truth &amp; creating from Joy.</p>
<p>I wonder how this would look like…</p>
<p>In Love and Medicine. </p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Listening to the wind,<br />
The tunes playing in my ear,<br />
I sit still.<br />
Still to heal, still to feel,<br />
You by me, you in me.<br />
The smile I long to see<br />
In my heart, you are free.<br />
Free to be, free to beat,<br />
The drum, the heat.<br />
I wait and wait<br />
Until we align. Until we meet.</p>
<p>The skin rippling the hum.<br />
One that we know,<br />
And we know one.<br />
I sing the sweet<br />
Nectar of the bee.<br />
The Queen, the flower<br />
The dew, the power<br />
The pull in the early hour.<br />
The beginning, the novel<br />
Innocence, what a marvel?</p>
<p>I sit still.<br />
Listening to the pulse<br />
The sound, the thrust<br />
Life, in the peck of dust.<br />
Swiftly, I feel,<br />
You. You are here.<br />
By me and within.<br />
A star I see,<br />
In the darkness of the unseen. </p>

									<p>If it had become a trend, a hip thing to do nowadays, a happy-hour, a “trip” which sometimes includes mixes of substances and add-ons that do not cease to amaze me, there is no denial of a deep need that is challenging our state of sanity to push through and change the way we are living on this earth. &nbsp;</p>
<p>A need to feel whole, accepted and belong to a clan or a tribe, a yearning for a passage through unfathomable difficulties, wanting to be and sometimes to run away from being, to meet God, to mourn loss and reconcile with death and dying… Many reasons are putting more attention on healing through expanded states of consciousness to live in a true sense of wholeness again. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Breathwork, deep states of meditation, silent retreats, vision quest, fasting, somatic bodywork and movement, sound, light and elementals, entheogenic substances and master plant and mycelial teachers are being sought and experienced as medicine by many to somehow remember and re-member&#8230;</p>
<p><em>“People say that what we are seeking is the meaning of life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive”. </em>A deeply insightful and so relatable by Joseph Campbell. &nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the many approaches to invoke and evoke this connection and gradually tap into it as an anchor in everyday life is through Ceremony. This can include the ingestion of plant medicine or not and it is held in a sacred space with a well-experienced guide meeting with a common intention; Serving and supporting the healing and growth of another human being. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The Maestro I used to work with always said: “Medicine is for Everyone” and these few words keep echoing in my journey and reminding me of this truth.</p>
<p>When we hear this call, we feel a pull from a place which encompasses our whole being. An original sound echoing within and resonating with the innate sound of creation. A sound that our soul knows and we recon that “It is time for me to take this step”. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>We start to tune in and listen, slowing down enough to review our intention, investigate and approach this kind of experience with honesty and respect to our body, the wellbeing of our psyche, the functionality of expressing our emotions in a safe container, the reverence to the medicine itself and the elders and guides.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once that call happens and one is truly listening, it is important not to rush through any plant medicine experience just for the sake of doing it and ticking that box.</p>
<p>There are many levels to that response and preparing for the journey in a conscious way is crucial for the psyche, the body and the environment that will be explored differently upon return.</p>
<p>Preparation itself plays a big role in the whole journey including the integration process. This can comprise starting to explore expanded states of consciousness in different ways (as mentioned above) and tapping into the effect of those approaches on you, your life, your energy and frequency. How you feel about it and how is it landing in your being is what essentially matters.</p>
<p>Sometimes, too much can be overwhelming and can take longer time to decipher and understand in order to feel the change and stand again in new way. And yes, for some people, this is what is needed and for others, it is not.</p>
<p>This is probably why, among many people out there, I feel like talking and writing more about this subject and shedding light on how can we do things differently and with integrity. This is a core part of our own healing and doing what light beings, medicine guides, elders and wisdom keepers are sharing with us all.</p>
<p>We are One and what we think and do affects the whole web of life. Here and now, we always have a choice. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Love and Medicine.</p>
