Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember ... you are the medicine.

Unfortunately something I was told in journey coincides with what she said ..I didn't want to believe it so didn't think about it till a good friend sent me this:
"It is certain, she says, that before Wasson, nobody had spoken with such looseness about the mushrooms. None of the Mazatecs had revealed knowledge of this matter . . . The mushrooms are the blood of Christ. When the Mazatecs speak of mushrooms we do so in a low voice, in order not to pronounce the name they have in the Mazatec language—we call them cositas—little things—or santitos—little saints. Thus they were called by our ancestors. Before Wasson I felt that the sacred mushrooms elevated me. I no longer feel this way . . . If Cayetano had not brought the strangers, the mushrooms would have retained their power . . . From the moment the strangers arrived the mushrooms are now worthless. There is no remedy.
“The mushrooms are now worthless. There is no remedy.” I fear she spoke the truth, exemplifying her wisdom. A practice carried on in secret for centuries has now been aerated and aeration spells the end.
Extinction was and is inevitable. The world would know vaguely that such a thing had existed but not the importance of its role.
