Waking Times
Video – Shamanic chants, such as the Icaros of ayahuasca shaman, demonstrate the emotional bond between the shamans and the world of nature, and call upon the spiritual powers beyond our visible reality. Their purpose is to provoke meditative effects for effective healing, and, in the words of Javier, ‘to render the mind susceptible for visions to penetrate, then the curtains can open for the start of the theatre’.
This shaman uses a chacapa and his voice to create mystical rhythms during an ayahuasca gathering.
