Cleanse and Detox
When we engage in the shamanic tradition of dieta, we invite a Master Teacher Plant into our body, mind, and spirit. It’s a perfect opportunity to live more consciously and in the present moment. We do this by limiting or eliminating external distractions, noise, or stimulants, so we can hear the deep wisdom the Healing Teacher Plant wants to share.
- We might simplify our diet, forgo processed food, eliminate sugar, or change our relationship to something we are addicted to.
- We might limit TV, exposure to social media, and recreational use of phones or computers.
- We might choose to avoid stressful situations or people and to create time for reflection and meditation.
- We become aware of the activities that drain us of our energy and those that enliven us.
- When working with the Jungle Plants, the elimination of alcohol, sex, and pork is mandatory. When working with the Flowers or North American Plants, all cleansing is optional.
Your Dieta Cleanse and Detox Options
We offer guidance with three different dieta cleanse options; one that is the bare basics for a successful journey, a less restrictive choice and another that is more restrictive for those looking to connect at the deepest level.
We provide suggested guidelines to inspire you to clean and clear all the distractions in your life that keep you from connecting to your true best self. This will help you to connect with the plant spirit wisdom that can lead you there. More detailed information is included in the educational videos and opening ceremony of the dieta.
