“Aya” depicts the Shipibo patterns, which are the sacred healing energies that emanate from the plants. These patterns are believed to be healing on the emotional, spiritual, and physical levels.

In the Amazon, illness (be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental) is seen as chaotic or harmful energy designs/patterns, which have either been picked up externally or created internally. 

These negative and dense energies are what become trapped in our system and thus create blockages, imbalances, and disease. When the flow of positive energy is blocked, it affects our ability to truly connect with ourselves, with others, and holds us back from reaching our true potential.

Working with Ayahuasca is a potent way to purge these negative energies, allowing for the spaciousness and guidance to self awareness, self direction, and living from a heart centered guidance. 

I never sought out this sacred plant... it found me. It gifted me with an entirely different and self-empowering understanding of “health” and what it means to be sovereign and trusting in the wisdom of our bodies.  

This piece is my way of saying “Thank you” to the Grandmother plant medicine.
