What is a Plant Attunement?

a little bit about the tradition

Dieta is an ancient shamanic practice that is an incredible tool and healer gifted by the plants and kept alive through the guardians of the medicines.

It is a practice used usually in conjunction with ayahuasca, though not isolated to it. As many of the shipibo peoples do not drink ayahuasca anymore, however they practice Dieta often. When someone is sick, they are automatically put on concoctions of plants and often will follow a regimented food diet as their body heals.

The shamanic form of dieta is where the curandera or curandero will open your energy body up to receive the master plant. Many of the healers work in ceremony to open a dieta, however this is not always the case. You will drink the master plant in some form, usually in an alcohol solvent, tea, or solar infusion.

Over the course of dieta, one connects to the spirit of the plant and welcomes its healing and companionship.The Master plant is benevolent helper and aids in the particulars of physical, emotional and mental healing and wellness.

There are plants for everything you can imagine. Plants for the brain, for emotional healing, for immune and nervous system rebalancing, plants to cure ailments of all sorts.

In many ways dieta is traditional herbalism, however used alongside ayahuasca, one becomes extremely attuned to the energies of the master plants.

Traditionally dieta would be practiced in isolation. Many of the maestras and maestros we work with spent a period of 6 months to a year in isolation huts dieting plants, drinking medicine and learning directly through personal experience how to become healers.

This is the traditional form the shipibo would practice to become healers. There are dietas for learning and there are dietas for healing. Most of the time they weave between the both.

The practice of dieta involves a commitment to practice. Often depending on the type of dieta one is practicing, one must eliminate all salts, sugars, oils, and spices.

The reason for this is similar to the yogis and Ayurveda practices in India that would keep the nervous system as calm as possible in order to become attuned to subtle energies.

In the case of dieta, one becomes attuned to the subtle teachings of the master plant they are dieting. Used in conjunction with ayahuasca, one becomes extremely connected to the plant that they dieta in ceremonies.

Once a person dietas a plant, for a period of weeks, months, or years, the plant spirit that they have been working with becomes woven into the fabric of their being, serving as a protective compassionate helper.

When your dieta is closed you will receive an Arkana, One of the best ways to explain this is as though it were a woven cloak of songs and healing vibrations. The shipibo speak of the importance of Arkana, serving as spiritual protection for people that will support them in their life journey. The dietas also are a form of direct learning and training through the plants and through the practice of dieta one may receive doctoring tools to help aid in healing, the removal of parasitic energies, illness and disease.

All of these practices have evolved over thousands of years of amazonian shamanism and direct learning from the spirits of the plants, the earth, and a devotion to peoples healing. This particular practice of a remote dieta is a marriage between Amazonian shamanic traditions of plant dieta and ancient herbal wisdom.
