I am 69 years old. I was born in Veracruz ( Mexico ) and I do live near San Diego (California ) . I am married. I have no children . Politics ? ? Living in the world, the universe. God? Working with spiritual entities , whose power comes from the energy of the universe . I am an apprentice of shamanism : is a method to access the experience of spiritual reality , something outside all structured Religion .
From theory to practice
He looks quiet housewife, or a teacher , but shaman . Had his first shamanic unexpected experiences when coexisted with yaqui indigenous poor zapotecas in Mexico . Then it was Franciscan religious . Then let the "structured Religion" and stepped in studies of anthropologist Michael Harner , a pioneer in the study of shamanism : Harner began as theoretical and then did field work and I ended up diving into shamanic experiences and shamanic healing practice . Today , Alicia Luengas is his right hand and teaches workshops on the subject. He came to Lleida to deliver three workshops on "the path of the shaman ", " spirits of nature" and " the beyond."
- Is it you shaman ?
- No one is what is called self . It is the community that says someone like shaman.
- What you call it ?
- People come seeking help for your life, your relationships, your health, your loved ones ...
- What is a shaman ?
'It's a word that means tungust traveling , the seer , who knows . And all primitive cultures have always been men and women and in each of its communities.
- Also the West?
-That was the Celtic druids ! But the domain of structured religions quenched practices and shamanic worldview.
- The shaman , where would you travel? , What do you see ? , What do you know ?
- There is another reality and the shaman travels to her. And there, access to data, information, knowledge, knowledge that he transmitted his spiritual guides .
- What are these guidelines ?
- Ancestors yours souls of people , animal spirits , presences that help you ...We all have spirit guides ! You too. Simply connect.
- How did you do that ' trip '?
'You have to leave the ordinary state of consciousness and enter a state of altered consciousness.
- And how is that achieved ?
- Studies anthropologist Michael Harner , my teacher , have shown that only 15 % of shamanic cultures have used hallucinogens , while 85 % have used sounds.
- Sounds ?
- Yes : rhythmic drumming ( similar to a heartbeat rhythm ) , or maracas or clubs . I use them for my trips .
- That easy ?
- Shamanism is a method to break into another reality . There is a faith , a dogma , a belief : it is a method , an experience.
- Can I learn this method?
Sure , and train . Without resorting to any primitive tribe : Michael Harner studied all shamanic traditions and take what they had in common , stripping them of their cultural particularities . And it Shamanic systematized method.
- What should I do?
- First, have intention: want to go to another world. Then , listen to the drum, but in order to act with spirit guides .
- Who will be my guide ?
- Try , are there, emancipated time and space.
- If I do that , what do I get?
- Reconnect with your spiritual essence, their soul , which is always . And so it gets full power over himself: and you will know what's wrong, and therefore , what you should do, how to heal .
- Not bad .
And you can reach a point in their spiritual guides may also be useful to others.
- Was that appropriate ?
- Yes . One ancestor I express my desire to heal through me . And that I do from 18 years ago !
- Is that why shamans are also called medicine men ?
Them, which were at least 10,000 years ago, these spiritual journeys learned the healing power of many plants . And where hunting was , and what to do ...
- Reláteme some of their healing experiences .
A woman had cancer, doctors treating her at the hospital in San Diego, as well as alternative therapies, and acupuncture , and shamanic medicine .
- With you .
- Yes . And her cancer cells disappeared. He was cured ! His desire was that their children studied in some prestigious university. She got stronger, I had work, the husband began to RIEF all well ...
And the children could already enter that university.
- Yes . And thenthe cancer returned !
- Go .
The woman , very quickly died . I made a trip to another world and my guide explained to me : " She beat : his wish , and then his soul was ready to go. And , quietly , he went . "
- If your guides say ...
- I understood him to cure it is a function of the soul of each individual process , particularly complex ...
- What does science say about all this ?
-A scientific community has trouble accepting the effectiveness of shamanism : prefer to believe that the analyzes were wrong ...But every day there are more scientists investigating the mechanisms of shamanism !
- What shamanic healing practice more often?
- By accident or trauma - large or small - suffer partial loss of the soul. And we feel incomplete or empty , and we incurred addictions. We can recover that portion of soul and return it.
- What if I 'm a pain in your chest?
- Can you be carrying any adverse spiritual intrusion. You will be stuck . But we can remove it.
