The Path of the Master Plants

CDI Dos Mundos The Center for Integral Development “Dos Mundos” (Two Worlds) was founded by Pepe Ordóñez and Maria Izotova in 2009. It is a wellness center where people come for healing, cleansing, and inner development, to come closer to their true nature and restore their connection with the Universe. “Dos Mundos” is not a shamanic center, and Maestro Pepe is not a shaman. He is a healer whose mission is to help people heal through transmitting messages from the Universe and providing tools for connecting with their highest, true Self. His main tools are physio-energetic correction, ancient healing techniques, and the use of Amazonian medicinal plants. Don Pepe restores ancient healing traditions. Therefore, the use of Ayahuasca, diets with teacher plants, and other techniques practiced at the center differ from shamanic traditions. The use of Ayahuasca is described as a cleansing process that facilitates the release of negative energies and reconnection with our sacred nature. The sacred plant Ayahuasca is used to balance the functioning of the body and mind and to support their harmonious connection with the energies of other beings, including plants, minerals, crystals, animals, and the elements, according to the prescribed treatment. The purpose of physio-energetic correction is to restore the functioning of energetic channels and meridians, relax the nervous system, regulate circulation, correct the skeletal system, and unblock energy centers, including the Hara center and the main and secondary chakras. During the correction, Don Pepe also works toward restoring a person's emotional balance through energetic connection with them. The energy of Love is described as dissolving existing blocks and releasing psycho-emotional trauma. Based on a person's responses during the correction—including pulsations, vibrations, emotions, sensations, sensitivity, visions, and sounds—a physio-energetic assessment is conducted. This is used to identify systems and organs that are considered to require treatment and restoration, as well as the presence of what the center describes as aggressive energies and energetic parasites. Energetic work is then performed to remove the identified foreign energies, preparing the foundation for the subsequent plant-diet process. The healing process begins with a course of Ayahuasca intake intended to cleanse the body of what the center describes as excess cold and mucus, which it associates with disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system and the presence of energetic parasites. The Ayahuasca process at the center differs from shamanic traditions. The center does not conduct ceremonies or rituals and does not use icaros (shamanic songs). Instead, it works with pure Ayahuasca and uses water during the process to facilitate cleansing. Yagé and Chacruna may also be used when considered appropriate for the individual case. The next stage is a diet with sacred plants. A diet is understood as a process of physio-energetic connection with the spirit of a plant. It is intended to support the cleansing and regeneration of the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of the body. The diet includes various ancient practices and healing methods and is conducted according to specific universal laws and rules. The purpose of this process is described as awakening consciousness and reaching a state of clarity. During the diet, it is important to maintain discipline and follow the prescribed rules. Participants are expected to avoid exposure to climatic factors such as sun and rain; avoid physical contact with other people; follow a restricted diet based on fish or vegetables, oatmeal or rice water, and potatoes or plantain, without salt, sugar, or other seasonings; avoid chemical products; and avoid being around strong smells. The duration of the diet and the plant used are determined by the Maestro based on the results of the assessment.
