AYAHUASCA: The Mother Of All The Plants And The Voice Of Pachamama

Description

Based on close to four decades of study, Ayahuasca: The Mother Of All The Plants And The Voice Of Pachamama is a comprehensive guide to the history and use of Ayahuasca from its murky mythological origins up to present day. Beginning with a sampling of prehistoric myths, this book chronicles the first western explorers who came in contact with this magical and controversial plant brew followed by the history and evolution of the first organized religions that have embraced it as a sacrament, and how they have spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world.
This in-depth analysis of Ayahuasca and its companion “teacher plants” also covers the history and present day legalities of this revered plant medicine and the landmark Supreme Court case that made it legal in the United States.
Additionally the text includes an analysis of Ayahuasca’s psychoactive components, its physiological effects, a section on safe practices, dietary restrictions, contraindications, and advice on integrating the life changing experiences that this mythical plant brew engenders.

This book offers a profound and honest exploration of the transformative power of Ayahuasca. Through a blend of personal experience and deep research, Matthew Pallamary illuminates the interactions of consciousness and healing. Anyone seeking insight into shamanic practices or self-discovery will find this work both illuminating and inspiring.
