Master Plants.
Four plantas maestras from the Shipibo lineage. Ajo Sacha, Chuchuhuasi, Bobinsana — those one receives in dieta, in silence, in cycles.
The word
Receiving a master plant.
In the Shipibo-Conibo cosmology of the Ucayali, certain plants are maestras — they teach. One does not take them as one takes a tea; one diets them, one receives them, one listens to them.
Four main master plants: Ajo Sacha(Mansoa alliacea) protects, Chuchuhuasi(Maytenus macrocarpa) consolidates, Bobinsana(Calliandra angustifolia) opens the heart. Each has its song (icaro), its rhythm, its dieta.
The curation
The 4 treasures of the family.
⊹ WHY THIS FAMILY ⊹
Before dieting — three conditions.
Before any serious intake of a master plant:
First: you are not in anger nor in acute grief. Amazonian plants amplify the arriving state, not the opposite.
Second: you can hold 7 days without salt, without encounters, without loud noise. The dieta is not optional.
Third: you have someone to talk to afterward. Not to validate, to hear what returns. The post-dieta is more important than the dieta.
