Dreaming the Fifth World Awake: Sacred Songs, Plants and Healing Ceremony
When beginning this paper I knew I was starting down a rabbit hole that I would have a hard time being quick and to the point. There are many facets in which I want to keep unraveling and diving deeper, to allow for a more comprehensive look into the world of healing through sacred songs, plants and prayer. Being a ceremonialist, in which I believe every day is a new beginning and that each step I take is a prayer, I have chosen to open the door to a topic that encompasses my walking and waking life. In this paper I will begin to connect the dots between both North American and South American shamanic approaches to plant medicine, sacred songs, and the powerful effect they have on unlocking our infinite potential, by allowing us to start our journey home, in return, healing our minds, body and opening up to our eternal soul.
