Ayahuasca healing journeys, ayahuasca experiences and jungle adventures testimonials…

Agbe Epou, USA

Before going, I had a lot of expectations and questions. Although some of my big universal questions were not answered, what I got from the experience is far, far, far more than I had bargained for. Let’s just put it this way: Ayahuasca works on many levels—physical, mental, and spiritual. It cleanses out anything that is negative that is either alive or not alive. Ayahuasca works differently for everyone. Some people are able to get rid of physical illnesses, some are able to talk to their loved ones who have passed, while others are able to battle negative entities beyond this dimension. The latter was my experience. And, it was a lot more than I expected. I mean, I could talk about this for hours and hours, but let me just say that the experience was so strong that I decided to modify my first book: A Glimpse of Who We Are, written by me, Agbe Ben Epou, which will come out online in April 2012.

Besides the inter-dimensional and lower-level battles, I also experienced a lot of love while at Ashi Meraya with El Mundo Magico in many levels. First, I was very glad that I found two good-hearted shamans to guide me through the process. The other aspect of love was manifested by Mother Ayahuasca. Yes, Mother Ayahuasca does exist, and her soul is incredibly positive and loving. It’s a shame that society calls traditional medicines such as Ayahuasca a drug. It’s not! It’s a gateway to experience a bit of your ultimate God-Self. I would highly recommend this center. The shaman family takes you in as if you were a part of their own.

With all my love to the people of Ashi Meraya. Specially to my shamanca Ercilia and my shaman Heberto. Thank you for healing me, my foot, my belly, my heart, my soul. Thank you to give me the gift to be a mermaid and to put the heart of mother Ayahuasca in my hands, so I can help people first of all, the people I love. Thank you Carl, Jill, John and Bryan. Thank you for being there, with me, in all those moments.

Thank you Mother Ayahuasca!

My time in Ashi Meraya will never be forgotten. I just got back and already starting to save money to go again. I stayed for a month and i can honestly say this was the best decision I have ever made. Thank you Francesco for setting everything up. Thank you to my translator Don Alfredo, you did a great job as well as being a great friend, many thanks. My first day there my Shamanca Ercilia heals my broken foot. My foot had been broken for four years, doctors, surgeons couldnt figure out how to fix it but one day with Ercilia it was healed. She took out 2 pieces of bone from my foot. She told me if I had kept dealing with my doctors at home I would have lost my leg. Another patient there also had her foot healed by Ercilia. My ayahuasca experiences were amazing, some painful and terrifying but i always left very satisfied. My Maestro Heberto I have a lot of respect for, he is a very powerful Shaman. To the whole Ashi Meraya family i thank you all for all the love and care you have given me. For anybody interested in going…. you have found the right place, you will only benefit from going. Much love to the Ashi Meraya Family, Much love to my Shamanca Ercilia, Much love to my Maestro Heberto, and much love to Mother Ayahuasca and Mother Toe‘.

The most amazing part of my two weeks was Doña Ercilia.  She is an amazingly powerful shaman who is a constant generator of unconditional love and acceptance.  I felt healed, supported, loved and encouraged.  It was profoundly beautiful! At every moment and in every ceremony Doña Ercilia was an impeccable, wise and powerful shaman.  She is not caught in the “ego trip” so common to medicine men and women of her calibre.  This is simply “her work” and she does it all with love, honour, humility and respect.  I witnessed her create and hold sacred space that was filled with energy and love.  Her ability to cast a shield of protection is beyond compare.  Once inside sacred space with her, she tunes into your journey and your energy.  She knows exactly what you need.  Her icaros are capable of soothing, energizing, transforming, purging or accompanying depending on what you need at the moment she tunes in to your body and spirit.  In an ayahuasca ceremony she also knows when you need help or energy and moves from person to person as required.  I was also able to witness her profound personal healing powers.  I was privileged to observe her conduct two extractions on one of the guests.  No “fan-fair,” no ego, no show. . . just good, clear, amazing healing work.  In our western world it is not every day you see a shaman suck foreign objects out of the human body.  The procedure was successful, simple, and quick; leaving no exit wound.  Ashi Meraya has always attracted the best shaman to work with and it is clear that Doña Ercilia is continuing that tradition of quality and care.  I wish everyone could spend some time with her and experience the true Shipibo healing with love.

Hi Francesco, I just got home from Peru last night and i wanted to write you to say Thank You! The space, the medicine, the healers, everything was perfect! Even though the ceremonies were strong and at time a bit too much for most to handle, I felt that all the participants went home with a sense of gratitude for the experience….I know I did. I have worked with a few healers in the past, spending a couple of months last year learning and healing, but I have never worked with the Shipibo. They definitely understand the work that needs to be done and I found there medicine to work on a very deep level. I’m very glad I was was well enough to make it, and I hope to bring groups there again in the future Hope all is well. Warmly.
