Publisher's Summary
Western medicine has not been particularly successful at getting people relief from conditions like depression, chronic pain, migraine headaches, addiction, and PTSD. Dr. Tafur helps us to understand why.
I have watched people spend years in frustration and thousands of dollars consulting an army of specialists, without getting real relief from their problem. Because these and others are diseases deeply connected with the state of our emotional bodies. Too often, the Western medical approach fails to address the emotional dimension of illness. This is where traditional plant medicines, with their ability to alter consciousness and open channels of communication to our emotions, offer so much promise.
The stories shared here demonstrate the astonishing - mystical, colorful, metaphysical - effects of ayahuasca and traditional Amazonian plant medicine. Follow Dr. Tafur through the Amazon jungle as he develops a breakthrough understanding of how psychoactive plants interact with the complex network that connects our minds and hearts to our physical anatomy. What Dr. Tafur presents here is nothing short of a paradigm shift for modern medicine, where sacred plants, used properly in ceremony, take their place as important tools in the doctor’s medicine chest, offering the missing elements of emotional and spiritual healing that have eluded us for so long.

Compelling book
Very well written book about the study of plant medicine and healing. This book was informative but also a journey. I thought the book was very thorough in the explanation of the medicines and experiences. Each testimony was elegantly captured and shared through the authors words. I was intrigued about the direction the author takes, merging science and esoteric knowledge in a way that is easy for the reader to understand.
The audible version was read by the author, who’s voice communicated a feeling authenticity and compassion.
Overall the material and presentation were compelling, and I really enjoyed listening.

AMAZING
I loved this book!! Joe is honest, vulnerable, and follows his curiosity. Joes journey with these amazing Teacher Plants and the Shapibo Shaman, and other Indigenous Shaman who walk between worlds for healing purposes is the most inspiring journey.
I, too, have walked between the worlds of physical and non physical - and it so wonderful to discover another path of wisdom that also sees what I have experienced! The visions and healing journeys of so many beautiful people with these incredibly wise Plants is both exciting and yet, it is not a path one takes lightly. Thank you so much Joe, and I am so looking forward to my journey at Nihue Rao Centro.
