Throughout shamanic practices, plants are used to promote balance and equilibrium in the human spirit.

In Shamanism plant medicine is used for healing and to induce altered states of consciousness. It is believed that consuming plant medicines can help to open the mind to spiritual communication and to connect with the spiritual realm. Plants can be used to induce visions and aid spiritual practices like astral projection, dowsing and scrying.

Certain plants such as ayahuasca (banned in India), serve as powerful tools for self-exploration, healing and personal growth. They can also be used in rituals and ceremonies to provide participants with a heightened awareness of the spiritual world.

During ShaGuru's Shamanism transcendental ceremonies, shamans use plants to stimulate spiritual communication. The effects of the plant medicines, combined with the spiritual guidance of the shaman can lead participants into deeper realms of consciousness to explore ancestral wisdom and divine guidance.

Furthermore, plant medicines can be instrumental in the spiritual healing of individuals. The active components found in plants are believed to clear energy blockages in the body, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to kick into action.

Plant medicine is also used to connect participants with their ancestral wisdom and the natural cycles of life. It helps to foster balance, harmony and connection with the environment, as well as opening up energetic pathways to promote healing. Plant medicine is, undoubtedly, an invaluable part of the shamanic experience.
