Details of this retreat
The power of the tobacco plant lies in its extraordinary ability to target the spiritual-energetic dimension. All illnesses first arise in the spiritual body, then in the energetic body, which then manifest in the physical body. Tobacco removes energetic pollutants from the system, which increases the flow of energy in the body, which in turn improves health of body and mind.
Amazonian Tobacco is a very strong purgative, known as La Medicina Rey (King Medicine) here in the jungle. It is a powerful purifier and liberator of negative energies in the mind, guiding one towards the path of light. Tobacco opens the doorway in the mind to receive information and understandings.
A diet (dieta) with tobacco and/or other master plants under a curandera is the typical Amazonian traditional form of healing and learning. It's a very powerful process of deep healing, cleansing, purification and learning. Diets are 7 days of daily ingestion of the plant preparation (in liquid form) during which there is a strict dietary food intake and limited social interaction and certain restrictions after the diet.
The dieter consumes a liquid preparation made from the plant every day for 7 days bringing the plant’s spirit, energy and knowledge into your body to cleanse, purify, liberate and teach. It is a time of going inward with the plants, a deep process where you will need your own space to process the cleansing and information. Dieting plants creates a union between you and the plant where it will continue to guide and teach and bring profound understanding in ones' life.
Dieting master plants is, whether it tobacco and/or the trees is a means of healing, learning and awakening to who you are, to truth and connecting with source.
Each individual will have an initial, private consult over the phone upon booking and an additional diagnostic consult upon arrival.
Diets held by Terri Newman, traditionally-trained tabaquera-curandera (plant medicine healer).
As a tabaquera-curandera, I not only work with the tobacco plant, but various other medicinal plants that all work with tobacco whether one has tobacco in their medicinal preparation or not. Other medicinal plants may be prescribed for different situations, which will be discussed in the diagnosis. Diets are 7 days/7 nights ingesting the plants daily and consuming food that contains no salt, sugars or oils. A diet with Amazonian Tobacco (Nicotiana Rustica) and/or any of the medicinal plants are liquid preparations that are ingested. Smoking is not required.
