Shamanism, an ancestral practice rooted in the connection with nature and spirit, is in constant dialogue with modern psychology, a science dedicated to understanding the human mind and psyche. This article delves into this intersection, reflecting on the relevance of both approaches and their healing potential. The Holistic Approach and Mental Disconnection For too long, the Western world has adopted a fragmented view of the human being. We have immersed ourselves in an abstract framework of ideas and thoughts, where emotions are often seen as mere interruptions.

In that instant, the body remembers its origin, the sacred connection that unites every being with the power of the Great Spirit. When the soul touches that place, life is never the same again.

It\u2019s harmony, which keeps that sacred perfection intact, making it both immortal and eternally venerable; just a pass of time that dignifies it, and uncovers new miracles inexhaustibly. That sacred crystal is a temperate peace within the most calm and rich insipidness. Each craving ridicules itself before the Infinite Feeling, which contains all feeling in its most minute twilights and at its most splendid apogee, in the spark of an instant.

Therefore, it undergoes the digestive process. As it always occurs in these cases, digestion usually takes some time. As that process moves forward, even more active substances are absorbed, which will greatly alter our perception, our body and our consciousness. Over the hours, the body absorbs more and more properties, and we feel how our perception and our consciousness are progressively altering. Naturally, after we\u2019ve taken Natem, digestion takes place, and finally bowel movement occurs. Throughout this whole process, our body reacts as if we were an anaconda: it takes all the essence of the plant&#8217;s extract.
