Your Guide to Sacred Plant Medicines

Updated: Feb 13

A MUST-READ to help you find the right plant medicine experience.

Recent research and studies worldwide have shown the endless benefits of plant medicines such as Cacao, Hapé, Ayahuasca, and Psilocybin. They can be used as complementary treatments for various mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and addiction. Among many other usages. [You'll find a list of inspiring documentaries about it at the end of this short read].

But wait to get too excited.


Plant medicines are not meant for everyone.


They'll give you what you NEED and not what you WANT. That's why these powerful plants must be treated respectfully in a ceremonial setting or prescribed by a psychiatrist.



I have learned how to honor and use plant medicines wisely here in Hawaii. Rather than seeing them as magical solutions to all my challenges, I see them as wise guides that assist me in recognizing, comprehending, and releasing my most profound wounds."


The wisdom of sacred medicines has shown me how blessed I am to be in this physical body. I became more grounded and connected to everything around me. I released what was preventing me from expanding my consciousness further. I learned to trust and surrender to the wisdom of my own heart instead of seeking answers outside all the time.


Yes, I could figure out all of the above on my own, but I chose to be supported by Mother Earth's love and wisdom.


I've learned many lessons with plant medicines. I know She will call me again when I am ready for my next lesson.


MY BIGGEST LESSON FROM WORKING WITH PLANT MEDICINES

It's through relationships that we grow the most.


If you are feeling called to experience a sacred journey, please read the following guidelines carefully to find the sacred medicine that is right for you.


CEREMONIAL CACAO

Cacao provides a gentle and safe way to expand your consciousness and open the heart chakra. StarSeed offers Cacao Ceremonies in our Private Retreats. After your ceremony and some guidance, I highly encourage you to continue the experience at home for 21 days to feel all the healing benefits of this ancient sacred medicine. Learn more about Cacao here.


SACRED HAPÉ

Hapé is another legally sacred shamanic medicine I feel called to share with my community. Hapé, also known as Rapéh or Shamanic Snuff, is an ancient medicine used to clear your mind, helping to silence the busy mind and bring peace and clarity. It is a plant medicine made by tribes in Brazil, my home country. It is a powder that looks like ash from tobacco leaves and sacred trees. The energy of sacred Hapé brings protection and connection, removes blockages, and promotes healing. For a session demonstration with Hapé, CLICK HERE


AYAHUASCA AND PSILOCYBIN

Ayahuasca and Psilocybin have no approved use in the US except for religious purposes, clinical research, etc. So before diving into it, please carefully research these powerful plant medicines. Then, if it resonates with you, ask your guides to bring the right teacher to guide you into it. StarSeed doesn't facilitate experiences with Ayahuasca and Psilocybin or provide references to other facilitators. But, if this path is meant for you, it'll find you. Trust it!


Please note that I am not recommending or suggesting that you experience any of what is mentioned above. Instead, the purpose of this guide is to help you become aware of other ways to heal and expand your consciousness.


Experience the sacredness of plant medicines in a safe and private ceremonial setting facilitated by Katherine, Spiritual Mentor & Teacher.
