Treatment for drug addiction
with
Ayahuasca
Psychoactive forest alkaloids
"I have been in the web of addiction for 20 years using heroine and cocaine. It's been
almost 5 years now that I am clean and I have never relapsed.
I’ve had all the help I needed from people and institutions before, and nothing did help me,
and after a while I would be back again into the drug. This was when I discovered that
therapy (I did so many therapies, that I became a therapist myself) or medications fulfill
only the time, but not the search, and the addict equals the model of the spiritual searcher,
but using the wrong carburetor.
The cathartic and abreactive properties of the drink, cleaned me and brought me to other
realms where finally I could recognize many other aspects of self and the threads that
were ranging from it. The process was beautiful, with many visits to past lives, and
meeting the source that originated the addiction in this life. Coming in connection with that
and with other aspects of self, living simultaneously, and symbolically reliving the source
of the trauma that brought me to the addiction, I could reach understanding, without words,
and meet the divine in me, that I have been searching for so long."
EXPERIMENTAL DRUG ADDICTION TREATMENT :
Ayahuasca Therapeutical application:
In therapy, ayahuasca covers the many needs in the different stages of the treatment and
face the cure of addiction. It has, among other things, two great properties, cathartic and
abreactive. The cathartic property will work not only on the physical level as a detox and
cleansing agent, but also on a psychodynamic level. The abreactive property will take the
person into a regression to the situation or the source from where the problem or trauma
has originated, and symbolically reliving that, gaining understanding through insights into
the situation - he or her will be able to free themselves and to reshape the consequent
patterns. It opens transpersonal areas, linking perinatal experiences and
psychodynamics'' as well as others. The entheogenic property of ayahuasca fulfills
peoples innermost search, bridging understanding and healing into oneself.
The addict is a shaman using the wrong
carburetor, She/he resembles the model of
the spiritual searcher, looking for that place
in the soul where she/he cannot be attacked
by the turmoil's of life, emotions and society.
By linking spirituality in it’s pure form,
without a dogma, and experiencing the divine
within, the search will be fulfilled, the
understanding of the mechanism of the mind
will be available and there is no need to use
drugs anymore.
