Joseph Tafur

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.For more information about The Fellowship of The River, please visit https: //drjoetafur.com/the-fellowship-of-the-...

La medicina occidental no ha tenido mucho éxito a la hora de aliviar afecciones como la depresión, el dolor crónico, las migrañas, la adicción o el TEPT (trastorno por estrés postraumático). El doctor Tafur nos ayuda a entender por qué.La gente pasa años frustrada invirtiendo grandes cantidades de dinero consultando a un gran número de especialistas, sin obtener alivio real a su problema, porque éstas y otras son enfermedades que están profundamente relacionadas con el estado de nuestros cuerpos emocionales. Con demasiada frecuencia, el enfoque médico occidental no aborda la dimensión emocional de la enfermedad. Aquí es donde la medicina tradicional de las plantas, con su capacidad de alterar la conciencia y abrir canales de comunicación a nuestras emociones, ofrece alternativas reales.Sigue al doctor Tafur a través de la selva del Amazonas mientras desarrolla un conocimiento profundo de cómo las plantas psicoactivas interactúan con la compleja red que conecta nuestras mentes y corazones con nuestra anatomía física. Lo que aquí se presenta es un cambio de paradigma para la medicina moderna, donde las plantas sagradas, utilizadas adecuadamente en las ceremonias, ocupan su lugar como herramientas importantes en el botiquín del médico y ofrecen los elementos carentes de curación emocional y espiritual que nos han eludido durante tanto tiempo.

Ayahuasca, die Liane der Geister, verbindet uns mit unseren Hoffnungen, Ängsten und Traumata. Sie offenbart uns unser Innerstes, ungeschönt, intensiv und frei von Bewertung. Und sie kann Wunder bewirken: selbst für Menschen, die mit chronischen Schmerzen leben, an Depressionen leiden oder als austherapiert gelten. Joseph Tafur ist Mediziner und Schamane, der die Urwaldpflanze selbst immer wieder eingenommen und Zeremonien ausgerichtet hat. Er zeigt, welche lebensverändernden Erkenntnisse durch Ayahuasca möglich sind und wie die Einnahme unter therapeutischer Begleitung abläuft. Ein Standardwerk für alle, die diesen kraftvollen Weg der emotionalen und spirituellen Heilung kennenlernen und für sich nutzen möchten.

Finding Healing and Connection Through Sacred MedicineAn ancient prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, here representing the often-polarized science and spirit, mind and heart, foretold that ours would be a time of great upheaval calling for a re-harmonizing, a healing, both within ourselves and in the world at large.In this follow-up to his highly acclaimed first book, The Fellowship of the River, medical doctor and curandero Joe Tafur looks to this prophecy as he invites you to rediscover the sacred in yourself and in the world around you. Tafur offers fascinating stories–medicine songs–of his own and numerous others’ including spirit-opening encounters, together with a chronicle of the past 30+ years of scientific breakthroughs known as the Psychedelic Renaissance (which includes clinical research into the therapeutic use of MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine). These parallel accounts reveal that sacred plants and psychedelic medicines, offered responsibly, whether in medical clinics or spiritual retreats, can catalyze profound emotional healing through spiritual awakening.For anyone struggling with emotional distress or feelings of disconnection and despair, this book points the way toward a brighter future, where we can find meaning, healing, and connection–and thrive.
