San Pedro Huachuma

Opening the Pathways of the Heart

De: Javier Regueiro

Narrado por: Javier Regueiro

San Pedro Huachuma: Opening the Pathways of the Heart is an invitation to explore and reconnect with our inner landscapes with the help of San Pedro, also known in South America as Huachuma. San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi) is a psychoactive cactus native of the Andes, but more importantly it's an ancestral medicine that has been used for millennia for healing and ceremonial purposes.

Our Western psychic and psychological make-up differs radically from that of Andean people, and our needs as modern people differ just as much from the needs of the ancestors and inhabitants of this land. This audiobook intends to bridge the cultural gap in ways that honor the wealth of wisdom gathered through centuries of native studies and experimentation, and at the same time address our present day state of emotional disconnection and spiritual confusion, which are at the root of most physical, emotional, and mental diseases.

Javier Regueiro draws a comprehensive and practical map for exploring consciousness using this ancestral medicine by sharing from his extensive knowledge as a plant medicine person, his personal experiences, and those of the many people he has guided over the years using this medicine.

Beautiful

Having just had a Huachuma ceremony and experiencing this force of nature, I am learning how to integrate plant medicine into my therapy, spiritual healing and my overall well-being. This book greatly helped me inform my view of what I’ve learned. Well worth the time!

fantastic

Javier approaches this topic with grounded wisdom and humility. A beautiful work that honours this sacred medicine.

Javier lights your path

Javier helps to keep you unstuck using common sense, and well earned wisdom gathered from his own experience. He puts himself on the line by being vulnerable for the sake of bringing real situations to life.
He is a great reader. It's nice to hear it from the author himself.
If you are on the path, or interested in it, this book will be helpful.

Beautifully written, humble teaching

In three words I would describe this book as beautiful, thoughtful, and humble. Make sure you know what you’re looking for and what to expect from before purchasing. I agree with another reviewer that, at its core, this book is not exactly about San Pedro. It’s a teaching of one person’s spiritual worldview as evolved through a range and depth of human experience. I found it entirely accessible and relatable. The author/narrator beautifully expresses, in simple language with an informal tone - and without sounding preachy or cliché, the limitations of generally accepted scientific-type rational thought and the resulting, often misguided, pursuit of happiness and self-fulfillment. As for the audio, I enjoyed the “performance”. I am partial to author-as-narrator audiobooks in most cases and this one is no exception. Some may find the delivery dry; to me it seems thoughtful and sincere. And ultimately, I feel it adds a layer of personality to the content. Sample it first to get a feel for his accent and flow, but for me, the sample was insufficient to appreciate how the delivery enhanced my experience.

Game Changer!

Beautifully written and performed, this book offers deep insightful wisdom about the medicine path. For Mesa Carriers, the incorporation of the directions will prove to be extra meaningful! All his books are excellent!

Excellent journey through teacher plants.

Super open personal view of years of experience in the field of the master teacher plants all aspects in wonderful wording. A masterpiece. Wonderful reading voice as well.

Beautiful Book

Whether or not you are called to Huachuma, this book provides invaluable advice and insights into life and the self-healing journey. I recommend listening to the audio version which is narrated by the author as you can gather quite a bit more nuance from his voice and reading.

An excellent read

I strongly recommend this to someone considering working with San Pedro :) This book helped me tremendously

I really wanted to like this

This wasn't about San Pedro. Not really. It is more about the author's opinions and world view and how his personal journey (with the help of San Pedro) left him so enlightened. I kept imagining this book as a impenetrable wall of words; and mind you it is the kind of spiritual book that I should have loved, that I consume voraciously.
