Shamanic Cleansing, Ecuador

[hardt666]

the evil spirits is real, and are material, are called being human.

[BBoyBlack1337]

buncha bullshit but sooo relaxing >.<

I believe he has inhaled the "bad stuff" and then expels it into his hand.

[Snowblower89]

one thing though, what is it hes doing near the end, is he spitting on your head? or inhaling or exhaling, it sounds kinda gross and i havent seen any other shamans do this

[Snowblower89]

would love to try this, thanks for uploading

[Planetoxo]

COOL

[mastersw999]

im actually interested by this entire process. now what is he doing at 5:20 ?

[halfhigh]

Is it bad to be sceptical to a lighter degree but still enjoying the process and feeling rejuvenated? Thoughts?

[dodgema]

@halfhigh Not bad at all. In fact, that is sort of how I approached it. Very insightful comment

10 years ago my friends child would cry for anything in New York doctors didn't find anything wrong with the 5 years old boy. In vacation we went to Ecuador and someone suggested to take the little boy to a shaman. The child was cured. No more sleepless nights for his parents. Shamanism works.

[dodgema]

@TheRichestCadaver Thank you for that comment. I've found Shamanism often works best when dealing with hidden fears or feelings. And children are esp. susceptible.

[jimc8p]

he's singing an E minor arpeggio

[316124]

oh come on, you cant actually believe this is real can you? you realy think he is removing evil spirits? That evil spirits exist?

[dodgema]

@316124 I've found that one can some very interesting experiences if one is willing to have a temporary suspension of disbelief. Try it, you might like it.

[tobinakatarx]

@316124 mabe u should try before you dismiss this as being fake,smoke some dmt,or take some ayahuasca ,then tell me you dont believe in the spirit world,then u will be using the parts of the brain that people like yourself dont ever get to use ,

[Suckfest83]

Domenic - excellent shaman; horrible posture. LMAO

Seriously, though, good watch this. This seems pretty legit.

[dodgema]

Thanks for letting me know that. I personally believe there is an ancient connection among the ancient peoples of all the Americas. So many of their beliefs, ceremonies, arts are similar. This was a wonderful experience

[darkness9994]

this is like what the medicine man of my black foot tribe does for our rights of passage ceremony

[WickedMo13]

Is there any female shamans at all? fav. video btw.

[dodgema]

Thanks for your comments.

Traditionally shamans are men, however I have heard of a few women, esp. in Mexico. I know of no names, however.

[DNatureofDTrain]

@WickedMo13 This Depends.. on the Tradition.. Many Cultures had Traditionally Female only Shamans then male Shamans came in .. Also the word Shaman itself has become over generalized...

[Rusty0555]

Do they have organized tours for spiritual cleansing and Ayahuasca Medicine ceremonies?

[dodgema]

There are tours but you have to be careful who you book with. Many are psuedo. This was the real thing.

I'm not a big fan of ayahuasca, but many dispute my opinion.

Do some research and just use some common sense. The group we traveled with is a nature tour, and it is a nature lodge. The shaman's visit was a special request because of my interest in it.

[Rusty0555]

Thanks Mary, I assume you have tried ayahuasca and have not really been enlightened by the experience, Why? and as far as tours to these regions, where would one begin to start their research?

[dodgema]

No, I have not tried ayahuasca, and have no desire to. I have met those who have and was not impressed by their tales. I felt it was not right for me and not really necessary.
