The Medicine and the Sacred Arts of Human Tradition Ancient medicine considered man as a totality: world and man coexists in perfect relationship as a great being or entirety. The sickness was understood as a disharmony in that infinite relationship, caused by the conflict of separating the man from the world. The being, in his sustained and inexistent self, resists grievously to the joyful Union with everything. Dark spirits take this place, supported and fitted with a certain type of presence, draining the energy of those who painfully squander there. In His ecstatic matrimony, the Being expands in the endless blaze, in the Perfection. The intensity of the vital cramp makes all beings shout in delight in the great chant

We humans live, first and foremost, because the sacred touch of Arutam flows within us. The spark of Life shouted at us and will continue to blink during the years in which we can ensure its presence in our bodies. A good diet prolongs our life, because it prevents us from consuming that original energy, which is our resource. Many people in search of abundant energy and a quick effect on their bodies, abuse those products that slowly make their bodies sick (manufactured foods, refined oils, transgenic fats, fried foods, sugar and sweets, flours, meat from heavy animals or those who have been tortured, etc.). That need normally arises from a weakened original touch: a half consumed, half forgotten one.

It’s very difficult to find fat and proteins of vegetable origin in the jungle. Everything is too wet in such a place. The terrain is often just water and almost no earth on top. These are the central ingredients for a diet designed to optimize high muscular performance for proper development and maintenance. In the jungle it’s absolutely necessary a perfect functioning of the physiological functions of any animal. We have to make sure we survive: build a house so we don’t get wet; have lots of dry firewood, hunt, fish and grow vegetables to feed the family; we must be strong and excellent to overcome any risk. We cannot lose our strength even for a moment, because we know

There are stimulating herbs such as guayusa, tea, mate, etc. Consumption of these herbs is widespread in different cultures. In our days, due to globalization and free trade, we can get its benefits in different parts of the world, though the consequences of inappropriate use also occur. Some of these products are really healthy, facilitating the kidney access routes, some even strenghtening them (ginseng); others are not so healthy, because they only produce a stimulation that consumes our store of long-term vital energy resources (coffee, stimulating and synthetic drugs, etc.). First we must understand that the energy that allows us to enjoy these products does not come from the product itself, but from the very opening of the kidneys, who

Saint Petersburg, Conference by Arutam Ruymán HOW TO KEEP OUR VITAL ENERGY Diet is a key element to ensure that Ayahuasca stays active in the body for a long time, so that it can be well absorbed, and allow for a trance of many hours. Firstly, it’s very important not to lose our body’s vital energy pressure. We shouldn’t allow the sacred touch to weaken inside us. This means that we must take special care to ensure that no energy is lost in orgasm and ejaculation. That moment of pleasure when our body’s vital energy is released, brings all the pressures down and weakens the whole path of sacred touch. Drinking Natem, in the practice of Shamanism, means to be

Garlic has been an unknown food for the Amazon’s people. It’s been introduced very recently, and it’s been strictly rejected, especially in every practice related to the spiritual tradition. One of its most harmful side effects is upset stomach (nausea), when combined with Ayahuasca, because it produces a violent vomiting, causing a considerable discomfort. Its effects extend over months after its use. The natives discard it as any other harmful poison, which also distances the good energies and the corporal well-being in general. It is so repellent and nauseating that it’s used -albeit very occasionaly-, to repel the sting of snakes (anointed in the legs), as these animals flee before this pestilent substance. Those who are sensitive have noticed the
