Reasons why to visit a shaman and practical informations

If you start to think about the trip to some shaman whether anywhere is good to think why do you actually want to visit a shaman and accordingly choose the place. 

May be a several reasons: 

- You may want to treat some diseases, make spiritual work, clean the body, develop your extrasensory perception, intuition, solve a major turning point in your life, you're stuck or want to start living again, you want to make better your relationships, you want to strengthen the vitality and create a protection from negative energies and diseases, in this case it is really important to carefully choose a good shaman with a good reputation, with many years of experiences and who you can trust, it will be a person in whose hands you will put your life. 

- In other cases, people seek "Ayahuasca tourism", they want to drink ayahuasca in order to experience, which can be dangerous for several reasons: a series of rituals is held by people who call themselves "shaman" and they don't have the necessary experiences, otherwise it may be called "brujos" people who can be very strong, but they work with black magic, at the first time it couldn't be find out, seem to be a normal shamans. They often prepare drink of Ayahuasca in combination with other hallucinogens (toe, tobacco etc..) For "better experience", but it can make more harm than help. During the ceremony is very important that the space of ceremonial room "Maloka" is protected by the shaman because often come not only good energies, but also bad energies, inexperienced shaman couldn't know what to do. Another important aspect of the ceremony is diet, when isn't respect it can have consequences. This ancient and sacred diet without salt, sugar and other restrictions is shared between Indian tribes from generation to generation. Also I must to mention here that women should have attention to the shamans man, because is not a secret that have been sexual abuses during rituals, when a woman is drugged, and unfortunately this is happening. 

Of course also it can happen that you feel just calling and your inner voice tells you that you should undertake this journey without any clear reason. In this case, it is a good idea to pack and is sure that you will find the answer during or after one of the rituals. 

In Peru is a several types of shaman, according to the work :

• Ayahuascero - works with ayahuasca (mostly all shamans, especially Shipibo with very strong magical chants icaros) 

• Vegetalista - a man who knows the medicinal plants and works with them (often rather Ashaninka, Cocama ...), also can exist some vegetalistas who do not work with ayahuasca and they are not shamans

• Tabaquero - works with tobacco, which has a very important role in rituals and healing, it is used by almost everyone, it is a pure tobacco, which has a cleansing and protective effects
