Healing is an essential aspect of Amazonian mestizo shamanism. Not only is it one of the most commonly quoted motives for Westerners for participating in ayahuasca ceremonies, but most elements of an ayahuasca ceremony are aimed to heal and protect. This article is purely ethnographic, and its purpose is to provide insight into the ways healing is conceived by both ayahuasqueros and Western participants in the context of shamanic tourism in Iquitos, Peru. I show that illness is perceived to have physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions, and healing is a complex process that takes place in and outside of ceremony. I show that a multitude of elements in a ceremony converge to address all three dimensions of illness, one of the most important ones being the element of personal crisis. Often present in healing narratives, the element of crisis becomes the catalyst for positive transformation, including physical, psychological, and spiritual healing. Rather than being seen as a singular event, healing in this context is seen as a process, in which the patient carries the responsibility for their own healing.

Filósofo y ensayista. Indómito e independiente. A sus 72 años, Antonio Escohotado publica 'Los enemigos del comercio...', obra que da la puntilla a la izquierda que no evoluciona. El autor de 'Historia General de las Drogas' también tiene su receta para el presidente del Gobierno: "A Rajoy le recomendaría la ayahuasca, un fármaco de viaje de duración breve. En un par de horas está uno libre. Con la ayahuasca, Rajoy se limpiaría por completo, es una autodepuración profundísima, la purga de Benito"

Marius Ursache's answer: I've been testing and adjusting various productivity techniques for the past five years, read lots of books (most of them repeating) and here's some of my findings:
I have always been a nature lover, who appreciates spending time outdoors and soaking in the positive energy of the green surroundings. So I was simply thrilled when I came across a popular practice in Japan called ‘Shinrin-yoku’ which means ‘taking in the forest atmosphere’ also known as ‘forest bathing‘.
