What is a traditional Shipibo Dieta?
In the Shipibo tradition, "dieta" extends beyond its literal meaning of "diet" in Spanish. It refers to both dietary and behavioral practices, as everything we take in—whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually—is considered part of the dieta. It marks a sacred time of self-isolation, during which we abstain from everyday distractions and consumption to deeply connect with the healing energy of plants. Through this profound exchange, we are purified and strengthened in mind, body, and spirit.
During a master plant dieta, the wisdom of the plant spirits is transmitted to the practitioner, or "dietero," through prophetic dreams, visions,and the ceremonial Icaros, which are sacred songs. This ancient practice can facilitate deep personal transformation, offering a space for inner reflection and cultivating stillness within. In this state of quiet receptivity, one becomes attuned to the subtle teachings and messages that the plants and spirits offer. This path requires devotion, and through sincere self-inquiry and a desire to uncover one’s divine purpose, the gifts of the dieta unfold gradually, much like the slow growth of the plants themselves.
A traditional plant dieta is often a profound, life-altering experience. The healing and insights gained during the dieta can echo throughout one’s life for years, continuing to foster personal growth and transformation. This intimate communion with nature, and more specifically with the spirits of the plants,helps reconnect us to our own divine wisdom. It aligns our inner compass with the sacredness that exists in all things. Through this symbiotic relationship with the plants and our connection to spirit, we learn to heal ourselves, and in time, we become capable of helping to heal others.
The Benefits of a Master Plant Dieta
A Master Plant Dieta offers the chance to build a lasting, transformative relationship with a plant spirit, one that continues to provide guidance,healing, and protection as you journey toward realizing your true potential.
It serves as an initiation into the "Rao Nete," the spiritual world of plant consciousness. This ancient practice, rooted in indigenous wisdom, is a form of earth technology that transmits plant knowledge through a combination of behavioral and dietary adjustments. These include isolation,abstinence, asceticism, and a restricted diet, which attune you to the subtle messages of the plant.
A plant dieta reveals what has been hidden, illuminating personal shadows and bringing inner truths to light. It is often said that “en la dieta está lacuración”—"the healing is in the dieta"—meaning that the transformation comes not only from the plants but from the disciplined process itself. The spirits of the plants work on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, guiding deep healing.
As you progress in the dieta, it's crucial to pay attention to what arises emotionally, as this is where true healing begins. Each dieta uncovers new layers of the subconscious, revealing aspects of yourself that have long remained in the shadows. Over time, the plants teach us that there is nowhere to hide from our innermost truths. Yet, this is the work—the path of self-discovery we choose, even when it feels like the light within has dimmed.
The plants remind us that love is inherent to our nature, though we may need to pass through the "dark night of the soul" before the light of awareness returns. These challenging moments, where vulnerability meets vitality, show us our true essence.
In the end, the plants ground us in communion with the sacredness of all life, reconnecting us to the fundamental truth that we are an inseparable part of nature’s vast, divine web
A Master Plant Teacher: Bobinsana
Bobinsana, a relative of the mimosa tree, thrives along waterways like rivers and streams, particularly in the Huallaga and Mayo river regions of Eastern Peru. Different parts of this sacred plant are prepared in specific ways depending on its medicinal purpose. For example, the bark is often extracted and boiled for long periods to treat conditions such as rheumatism,act as a contraceptive, or stimulate the nervous system. Similarly, the roots are used to cleanse the blood and treat uterine disorders. When the entire plant—leaves, stems, bark, roots, and flowers—is boiled, it is said to energize both the body and mind.
Bobinsana is revered as a powerful shamanic plant among the indigenous peoples of the Amazon. Known for its ability to open the heart, it helps heal deep emotional and psychospiritual wounds, including grief, heartbreak, and the pain of loss. It is particularly effective in supporting the release of trauma and healing from childhood wounds, past relationships, and abuse—whether physical or psychological. By working with Bobinsana, the dietero gains a greater capacity for love, compassion, and empathy.
