Expedition Account about a Journey to the Inner Self – to Peru 2008 by Halluzinante ( Jeannette ) In 2007 I was so ill that I never would have thought to be able to go onto a long journey – and to go to the Amazon to the Incas seemed completely out of the question at that time. With his shamanic skills Timoteo made possible what seemed impossible to me as well as to the physicians consulted by me, who had been unable to make a diagnosis! He gave me what I needed for healing at the right moment. This triggered a transformation process inside of me which culminated in this expedition to Peru. Every station of this expedition had a different topic. First came a profound cleansing. From Lima - already allowing glimpses into a completely different world and different rhythm of life - the expedition took us to the salinas at the sea, the Pacific Ocean. Baths and mud baths in salt water and mud, even at night, in luminescent green sacred salt springs resulted in a profound cleansing. Wonderful fire rituals on the beach and in an ancient Inca fortress above the sea made the stay in his beautiful house a special experience. Then came the long drive into the mountains of the Cordilleras, to Macahuasi, the magical place of stones: here, at an altitude of 4000 m, I breathed the clearest air ever after an adventurous ride. On this high plateau I entered a fantastic world of huge stone statues, powerful beings from the pre-Incan period, which I let have their deep impact on me without any intellectual explanation. Here I felt the effects of materialization and of possible healing: tenderly Timoteo caressed the huge stone turtle, thus showing her human compassion and giving her courage to accept salvation and a new transformation. Then our expedition took us via snowy passes with turquoise lakes to Huancayo and Sappallanga, an Inca village not accessible for tourists. Here I experienced Pachamama, the Earth: a mud house with candles and a fireplace, a deep silence, the rustling in the Eucalyptus trees, animals living peacefully and in harmony with man, happy children, who independently follow their life plan. Working in the fields I could feel the living soil, an experience which found its climax in a feast, Pachamanka. It was hard for me to say goodbye to this place, at our departure for Satipo the villagers gave me roses. There, on the Isla de Fantasia at the rushing river, I got an inkling of the vast rivers of the Amazon. Soon our expedition took us on boats on these vast rivers across endless jungles to Rio Tambo into the Inca reservation of Poyeni – a permit was necessary to enter this region inaccessible for tourists. Here the feeling of grounding deepened and with my whole body I felt the dance and the feast celebrated by nature in the selvas: with a Shaman living all on his own with his family in the jungle. He prepared the Ayahuasca-remedio and sang for us. This inner journey was the climax of my trip into my inner self, and since then I have lost any fear, even that of dying. The impact of this process of transformation still continues and I am very happy that I have experienced the real meaning of true health. My perception now is characterized not only by a new understanding of the suffering of my fellow men caused by a failure to love but also by a deep gratitude towards our Mother Earth.
