Animism is the ancient belief that all natural entities like animals, plants, and objects have spirits or souls. It originated before organized religions and views nature as sacred. While animism lacks formal structures like worship sites or scriptures, it influenced the growth of major religions. Elements of animism can still be seen in religions today that respect nature or practice non-violence towards all creatures.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical system that focuses on treating the whole person to achieve physical, mental, and spiritual harmony. It views health as a balance between the three doshas (biological humors) - vata, pitta, and kapha - which combine with the five elements. When doshas are imbalanced, disease occurs. Ayurveda uses herbal medicines, yoga, diet, and lifestyle changes tailored to each person's constitution to restore balance and support the evolution of consciousness. Its goal is to help people experience themselves and the world with joy by addressing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
But what is beauty, art, taste and fashion as and from the perspective of aesthetics of beauty, the idea of love, natural inspiration and orgy of tolerance.
Jain philosophy emphasizes non-violence and interconnectedness between all living and non-living things. Traditions in Jainism that deal with the environment include fasting to minimize consumption and harm, a vegetarian diet, minimal possession of material goods, and occupations that cause less violence. The modern environmental movement identifies overconsumption as a major problem, exacerbated by forces of globalization and materialism that prioritize economic growth over environmental protection.
Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine that originated in India thousands of years ago. It views health as a balance between the body, mind and soul. The main principles of Ayurveda are maintaining equilibrium between the three doshas (biological energies) - vata, pitta and kapha - through lifestyle practices like diet, exercise and meditation. When imbalance occurs, Ayurveda seeks to treat the root cause through natural therapies and herbal remedies to restore overall well-being.
JOHREI ENERGY HEALERS’ HEALING EXPERIENCESauthors boards
This paper explores the experience of Johrei healers within the context of energetic
healing practices in the world. Johrei is a Japanese method of healing developed in
the 1930’s and now practiced by thousands of people across all continents of the
world. A phenomenological methodology is used to explicate the healer’s experience
of practicing Johrei as a healing practice. Johrei is experienced by the healers as a
process for accessing the abundant universal source of healing energy experienced as
warmth and light, energizing the healer as well as the client, while contributing to the
purification and elimination of disease states in the individual, the family and the
community. Johrei healers also see themselves as a channel for purifying toxins in
the client’s body including toxins arising from environmental pollution and from un
resolved mental, emotional and spiritual traumas within the client. This elimination
process is experienced physically as belching, yawning, burning sensation in the
body, tingling sensation in the hands and watering eyes and running nose. Johrei
healers may experience vivid imagery during the healing process including colours
within and around the body that may be used diagnostically and the appearance of
deceased relatives. After administering Johrei, healers experience a bodily reenergizing
and a renewed sense of personal well being.
This document discusses an Ayurvedic approach to using cannabis to treat anxiety. It provides background on Ayurveda and how it views the causes of disease and imbalance. It then examines anxiety from an Ayurvedic perspective as a imbalance of the vata dosha, specifically the sub-doshas vyana and prana vayu, which govern circulation and the mind. It explores how cannabis's active ingredients THC and CBD can help address anxiety by calming these vayus. The document advocates for an Ayurvedic treatment plan that addresses the root causes of imbalance and suggests cannabis, when used properly and alongside lifestyle changes, can be an effective herbal medicine for treating anxiety from this holistic

Principles and Practice of Complementary Therapies Andreea Radu
Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient system of natural healing that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It is based on balancing the three doshas (bioenergies) in the body - vata, pitta, and kapha. Ayurvedic therapies include herbal medicines, massage, meditation, yoga, and panchakarma cleansing techniques. Reiki is a form of energy healing developed in Japan in the early 20th century. It involves channeling universal life force energy through a practitioner's hands to the recipient to support the body's natural ability to heal. Both Ayurveda and Reiki aim to restore physical, mental, and spiritual balance and well-being. Practitioners must follow
- Sanatana Dharma, also known as Hinduism, is an over 5,000 year old spiritual tradition that encompasses teachings like yoga, ayurveda, and vedic astrology.
- These disciplines are rooted in the Vedas and ancient rishi lineages, and constitute a comprehensive system dealing with spiritual and worldly matters.
- While the physical practices of yoga can be separated from Hinduism, truly benefiting from the deeper philosophical teachings requires an appreciation and acceptance of the spiritual traditions and principles they are based upon. Embracing the overarching Sanatana Dharma tradition provides the greatest advantage in practicing these disciplines.

Herbal Medicine as a Nature-Based Healing ModalityDenell Nawrocki
This document provides an overview of herbal medicine as a nature-based healing modality. It discusses the author's personal experience with herbal medicine as a child and explores the philosophy and history of herbalism. The history section describes how herbal medicine has been practiced for millennia around the world and was an important part of many early civilizations. It also discusses how herbalism was influenced by indigenous North American traditions and became more formalized in the 19th century with writers like Samuel Thomson. Currently, herbalism requires various levels of training, though it was traditionally passed down orally. While herbal supplements are now widely available, the role of the professional herbalist has diminished.
Mayan civilization healing and medicineAshish Singh
The ancient Mayans had a complex healing tradition that blended physical, mental, spiritual and herbal remedies. Their tradition survived the Spanish conquest through oral teachings across generations. Key aspects included viewing illness as imbalance that could be addressed through herbal remedies, rituals, and balancing the flow of life energy. Mayan healers called shamans and ah-men used plants, ceremonies, bloodletting and other techniques based on principles like hot/cold balance to treat ailments while respecting nature's cycles. Though their writings were destroyed, the Mayans' sophisticated approach to holistic healing lived on through community practices.
The document discusses wisdom and how it can be learned and taught. It provides examples of indigenous communities personifying wisdom through their elders and rituals. Wisdom is presented as a capability gained through experience over time. It involves discernment, understanding, and insight to size up situations. Indigenous communities in places like Thailand, Canada, and Australia are said to personify ancestral wisdom in how they sustainably manage the environment and celebrate important life events. Wisdom can be learned informally through storytelling and sharing experiences in community settings.
Medical Practitioner: Traditional HealersJen Gragera
The document discusses different traditional and folk healing practices from various cultures around the world. It describes Indigenous or folk medicine, which involves remedies and practices passed down through generations using herbs and natural elements. Various traditional healers are mentioned, such as acupuncturists, herbalists, homeopaths, and healers from traditions like Ayurveda, siddha medicine, and unani. The document also contrasts Western medicine, which relies on modern medical science and treatments like surgery, drugs, and therapies.
The document discusses the benefits of cow products like milk, ghee, curd, urine and dung in Ayurvedic medicine. It states that one should not ridicule these ideas without proper study or research. It also argues that viewing animals and nature only as resources to exploit is a superficial perspective, and a holistic view involving respecting animals and nature is more evolved. Seeing cows as mothers, rivers as mothers, and worshipping plants recognizes their life-giving qualities, rather than treating them as lowly objects for human use alone.
Dr. Kashalikar discusses the benefits of consuming cow products like milk, ghee, curd, and urine. He argues that ridiculing these ideas without proper study is unfair, as some cow and animal products can be useful medicinally. However, a merely utilitarian view can be counterproductive. It is important to develop a holistic perspective through practices like Namasmaran, which help with introspection. Currently, society is governed by superficial and perverted elements, but introspection can help realize that considering cows as mothers and nature as sacred is a more evolved culture than violence and exploitation.

While some may ridicule these ideas, he argues they should not be dismissed without proper research. Later, he notes that considering cows as mothers and revering nature is a more evolved perspective than killing and eating animals or exploiting natural resources without gratitude. Seeing all life as sacred nurtures individual and global blossoming, in contrast to current superficial and individualistic tendencies that harm others.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Ayahuasca Ceremony with Native Huni Kuin Healer - at FLOU Institute
1.
2. A Floresta dos
Unicórnios
(Unicorn Institute)
The unicorn, a symbol of unity
between science and mystical
tradition, reason and intuition,
was inspiration for the birth of
the Unicorn Forest Institute
(FLOU). As a non-profit
organization, FLOU Institute
exists to create an integral core
of knowledge, experience and
technology; stimulating
relationships – 'convivência' –
and the design of healthy
communities compatible and in
harmony with nature.
3. A Floresta dos Unicórnios
The Institute develops educational projects, courses, workshops and
immersion opportunities with the objective of propagating biocentric
learning experiences focused on creating a culture of peace and sustainable
living. The institute’s activities occur at three different venues. One of these
locations, where the indigenous healing ceremonies take place – FLOU
Granja – also functions as a conservation area and receives and rehabilitates
wildlife, through a project licensed by IBAMA, (a government structure
responsible for the environment and resource management) originating
from the illegal traffic of such animals.
4. The Healing Ceremonies
at FLOU Institute
Since 2007, FLOU has been
supporting and disseminating the
wisdom and practices of the forest
people. Recognizing the importance
of honoring the diverse expressions
of the aboriginal ethnic groups, and
in helping preserve Brasil’s rich
medicinal and cultural legacy, the
institute opened its doors to
holding workshops, cultural events,
healing ceremonies and other
celebrations that support
maintaining indigenous wisdom and
practices.
5. The Healing Ceremonies at FLOU
Our ceremonies happen at our
dedicated oca, “Yube Shube”, baptized
by the Kaxinawá/Huni Kuin natives, as
Home of the Anaconda Spirit. The
anaconda is responsible for bringing
the sacred teachings of the ayahuasca
to the Huni Kuin.
6. WHAT ARE PARTICIPANTS LOOKING FOR
AT OUR CEREMONIES?
The participants who come to our rituals are usually looking to:
• Explore their consciousness in search of self-awareness and a greater
understanding of other realities that co-exist but that we rarely are able to
access in our mundane reality – with the objective of bringing harmony
and integral health into one’s life.
• Identify and recognize traumas, limitations, as well as behavior patterns
that are recurrent and addictive and that bring toxicity into our organism.
Find solutions to all kinds of personal problems and put into place
changes.
• Improve their physical health.
• Treat complex spiritual situations or questions (past lives, obsessions,
constellations)
• Bring vitality, enchantment, new perspectives and purpose to one’s life.
• Experience healing at a collective level.
• Access millennial wisdom found in native practices and in the energies
inhabiting nature.
7. THE HEALING CEREMONIES AT FLOU
The ceremonies are always conducted by native representatives of
different traditions and permeated with their sacred chants and
dances; this allow us to open channels with the spiritual fields and
knowledge available in nature and the universe as a whole.
8. The Healing Ceremonies at FLOU
Rescuing the ancestral culture, forest medicines and healing
practices, contributes not only to celebrating cultural diversity,
but is an opportunity to strengthen a spiritual path woven
together with a culture of peace and a sustainable development
paradigm.
9. Sustainability at Unicorn Forest
Sustainability is not just a field of
interest, but a space at the
intersection of intuitive
understanding, be it scientific,
technological, or psychological, and
begs sociocultural, political,
economical, historical,
anthropological consideration, as
well as education and health. We
trust that if we cultivate the coming
together of knowledge allied to an
ethical care for all life, this will help
us effect the change we need to
make in society.
10. Allying Sustainability and Spirituality
Our economic, political and social
structure has not been able to solve
complex human and community
problems. An innate lack of
understanding of the
interdependency of all life, has borne
into us individualistic and
materialistic behavior. As complex
beings, we possess distinct
experiences not only at a biological
level, but also sociologically,
psychologically, and spiritually. A
complete lack of attention to our
deepest dimensions has taken us
towards systemic dis-ease.
11. Allying Sustainability and Spirituality
FLOU Institute is founded on
exercising spirituality that is
socially and environmentally
engaged. We believe that
building towards a planetary
citizenship happens through
the creation of a universal code
of ethics, based on the birth of
a collective consciousness, and
solidarity between individuals
who are creative, free, open to
knowing, to love and
friendship, and deeply related
to the biosphere and the
mysteries of life.
12. Allying Sustainability and Spirituality
This spirituality reveals itself concretely in our day-to-day
activity, as a qualitative energy to our presence, and translates
into actions of fraternity, sympathy, kindness, care and love. This
feeling nourishes us with a sense of wholeness, light, peace, and
gratitude.
13. Shamanic Medicine and Empowerment Plants
The use of plants that expand the horizons of our consciousness
has been part of the human experience for
millennia. Meanwhile, contemporary western society only
recently has realized the importance these plants have had in
shaping the history of cultures all over the world.
14. Shamanic Medicine and Empowerment Plants
The empowement plants (as they are commonly referred in Brazil) are
of great importance, as they have been aiding in the discoveries of new
treatments that have been at times more efficient and less invasive
than what the traditional western medicine model has to offer.
According to Richard Schultz, western psychiatry has not advanced as
rapidly as other areas of medicine, in part for not having at its disposal
the adequate tools to deal with such a a complex entity as the organ
that is the brain. Psychoactive plants could help expand psychiatry’s
comprehension of our inner workings.
15. Shamanic Medicine and Empowerment Plants
Western science and medicine has received its legacy from the
Scientific Revolution, which has lead us to put almost complete focus
and to lend importance to rational thought and the material aspects of
reality. Western medicine aims to treat only the physical and
psychological dimensions of the patient, without the capacity of
understanding systemically the manifestation of the disease. Many
Eastern and worldwide native traditions work by treating the patient
with the aid of sacred plants, taking into consideration the subtle
energetic fields. The soul is an embraced aspect of the healing process
and never divorced from the body.
16. Shamanic Medicine and Empowerment Plants
These plants connect us to ancient sources of healing
used by our ancestors, who understood disease as a lack
of balance and harmony in the totality of the human
being, which should always be in constant connection,
dialogue and transformation within the web of life.
17. MYTHS AND AYAHUASCA: THE SPIRITUAL
LANGUAGE OF IMAGES
Shamans have the natural capacity to travel into the
depths of the human condition, accessing the world
of images, symbols and archetypes. The world of
images is more profound and closer to translating
spiritual knowledge and experience, than verbal
language, which is limited by the aspects of duality
and rationality. Not just by chance, this wisdom of
the mysteries of life has survived millennia as
transmitted through myths - stories which embrace
the metaphorical universe.
18. MYTHS AND AYAHUASCA: THE SPIRITUAL
LANGUAGE OF IMAGES
According to Joseph Campbell, myths are clues to spiritual potential in
human life. It isn’t enough to have only a rational, material
understanding of life to transform crystalized unhealthy patterns in
one’s life. To untie or loosen knots from the root cause, it is necessary
to dive into more profound processes. This can be done with the help
of empowerment plants, like ayahuasca, which communicate with us
through the world of images and archetypes.
19. AYAHUASCA
Is a millenial vegetable drink,
resulted from the decoction of two
plants endemic of the Amazon: the
liana Mariri, Jagube, Pajézinho
(Banisteriopsis Caapi) and the
leaves of a bush from the coffee
family, known as Chacrona, Rainha
(Psichotria Viridis).
Kaxinawá drawing by Zezinho Yawabane
It is utilized as a sacred instrument
to connect to the spiritual world by
over 70 different ethnic native
groups in Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia,
and the Peruvian Andes.
20. AYAHUASCA
Referred to by many
natives as the “vine of the
soul”, “abuela”
(grandmother), and
“teacher plant”, the term
most commonly used
derives from Quéchua
(Inca): Aya: soul. Huasca:
rope or liana. The
Kaxinawa referred to the
plant as “Uni”.
21. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
Ayahuasca is composed of, among other substances, harmala alkaloids
(harmine, harmaline and tetrahydroharmine) from the Banisteriopsis
Caapi, which functions as a weak serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a
selective and reversible inhibitor of MAO(monoamine oxidase) an
enzyme found in the digestive tract, liver and nervous system. This
inhibition allows the DMT found in the leaves of the Psychotria Viridis to
diffuse past the membranes in the stomach and small intestine
unmetabolized to activate receptor sites in the brain. Both plants are
responsible for a metabolic change similar to that achieved in profound
meditative states, or during deep sleep. Its pharmacological action is
linked to the production of endogenous substances released by our own
organisms, and there have been no documented physical or neurological
damages caused by the consumption of ayahuasca.
22. POSSIBLE PHYSICAL REACTIONS DURING THE
CEREMONY
Ayahuasca is a purging medicine. For a deeper
cleansing to occur (physical, psychological,
emotional or spiritual), the healing process may
provoke nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or slight
amplification of blood pressure and cardiac
rhythm. Participants may also feel intense cold, or
body tremors. Tremors and shaking are due to a
re-awakening of the body's vital processes, as well
as emotional and psychological discharges,
necessary to allow the body to re-establish natural
harmonic rhythms. These reactions are all
indications of a purification process and help
facilitate the journey of self-awareness. Studies
conducted in the mid 80’s and again in the 90’s by
CONFEN, now CONAD (National Anti-Drugs
Council) indicate that the continuous ingestion of
ayahuasca does not generate physical or
psychological dependence/addiction, does not
compromise the social behavior or productivity of
individuals, nor harm their mental performance.
23. Impacts of Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca works with
energetic, physical,
psychological and spiritual
aspects of the human
condition, inducing amplified
states of consciousness, giving
us access to the more subtle
mechanisms at work in the
universe. The majority of
participants consider her a
vehicle that facilitates a deep
state of introspection,
meditation, interior cleansing,
and self-awareness, and in
many cases a beautiful path to
spiritual awakening.
24. USES OF AYAHUASCA
Ayahuasca often takes us to parts of our memory linked
to the interior life of the body (genetic and hereditary)
as well as the exterior, or social life of the person and
their connection to the world in the past, present, and
future.
25. USES DA AYAHUASCA
There has been an increased interest in the use of
ayahuasca in the treatment of various chemical
addictions to alcohol and drugs, physical diseases
and other pathologies. Today, Brasil and other
South American countries harbor venues working
with addiction treatment, even in more complex
cases as addiction to crack, cocaine, and
methamphetamines.
Scientists in various countries are broadening
their research to include an enhanced
understanding of the workings of ayahuasca and
other entheogens (substances that help manifest
our divine self) for the treatment of depression
and psychological unbalance. In Brasil, ayahuasca
is being studied and researched by
neuroscientists at UNIFESP (Federal University of
São Paulo). We have also seen an increased use
of ayahuasca in therapeutic circles conducted by
psychiatrists and psychologists.
26. BENEFITS OF THE HEALING CEREMONIES
At the closing of the healing ceremonies at FLOU Institute, the
participants frequently show states of vitality, renewal, serenity,
lightness and bliss. Many feel they have opened energetic
channels, eliminiating blockages and re-organizing the organism
in an integral manner.
27. BENEFITS OF THE HEALING CEREMONIES
Many comment on the overcoming of life problems and challenges, or a
deeper comprehension of traumas and an enhanced resilience for
problem solving. This happens often due to the increased capacity in
“seeing” many different points of view and possible realities regarding
any one situation, as well as through nourishing our empathic and
compassionate states. The ceremony also brings clarity and courage to
help people in severing connections to old patterns and facilitating a
transition to new horizons/life patterns.
28. BENEFITS OF THE HEALING CEREMONIES
Participants demonstrate greater sensitivity, presence, solidarity and
healthy detachment (letting go of old habits), provided by
experiences with sacredness, and a profound re-evaluation of life.
This state of fulfillment tends to produce significant changes in the
ways we perceive and act in the world.
29. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SPIRITUAL PATH
Every spiritual path demands continuous effort, dedication and
discipline as we are constantly challenged to evolve and develop.
Working with ayahuasca is no different, and thus demands first
and foremost our full engagement of intent, trust and
preparation before we merit its profound teachings.
30. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SPIRITUAL PATH
Once we have entered the
ceremonial process, we expand our
consciousness and broaden our
capacity to see. We leave
differently than when we entered
and cannot go back to the original
form. A clearer and expanded
consciousness demands a much
greater responsibility in the world,
as well as a more coherent lifestyle
based on an ethical code that cares
for life as a whole. This often means
leaving our comfort zone to redirect
our path, so that we can enjoy
greater health, happiness, freedom
and purpose.
31. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SPIRITUAL PATH
Ayahuasca can be a very effective and profound guide in healing, but will not
resolve all of our ailments on her own, and will not substitute the share of
work corresponding to each participant. In the western mindset we are
accustomed to delegate our health issues to doctors and medication, the
solutions to our economic problems and poverty to economists, and our
spiritual ascension and healing to gurus. We often believe that we do not
possess the strengths, or capacity to heal, act, and transform our reality. It is
only when we empower ourselves and become active participants in the
process of healing that we will be genuinely free and capable of making
effective and long-lasting changes in our lives.
32. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SPIRITUAL PATH
From our perspective, we must connect beyond the subtle levels
of energy during the healing ceremony, and remember that part
of the spiritual path (and perhaps one of its greatest teachings) is
to establish coherence between what we believe, speak and act.
The true spiritual path materializes itself through our behavior
and habits, and in the quality and care we nourish in all our
relations.
33. Ayahuasca in Brazilian Politics
SENAD – The National Antidrug Administration is a branch of the Brazilian
government that outlines national politics in reference to drugs. They define
narcotic substances with the ends of penal pursuit and represent Brasil
alongside the international community in regards to the prevention, traffic,
consumption and repression of illicit drugs. After a series of multidisciplinary
teams from this organization researched and tested ayahuasca at three
different moments (starting in mid 80’s), the team drafted the decision to allow
the religious use of ayahuasca in rituals through the presence of these
elements: 1) re-expression of an ancestral religion of aboriginal origin practiced
prior to the formation of our current judeo-christian culture; 2) a lack of abuse
or harm to mental and physical health resulting from its religious use; 3) it
contributes to the affirmation of a Brazilian cultural identity, especially that of
the Amazon.
