The goals and defined objectives of shamanistic medicine and therapy are put in the clearest perspective I have yet seen:
- The proven history of Shamanism is notorious and without doubt
- Modern medicine is a baby of brief duration, mistaken theses and encompasses the limitations of scientific method and theory and embraces neither the realm of consciousness nor connects to that world where healing is situated.
- The natural sciences do not encompass the ethics of Shamanistic healing nor its broad truths or common sense, nor dothey have that intention.
- This quote from the below article says it all : Because the threat of an apocalyptic self-destruction of the whole humanity represents unquestionably – apart from the undoubtedly also existent blessings of our scientific era – the acquisition of much bigger weight of the natural sciences...
- have forgotten that they are children of our Mother Earth and that their health and true happiness depend indispensably on the lived harmony with the created powers of the Nature as well as with the laws of the Great and Almighty Creative Spirit that acts in her. Even the public institutions of health of the formal medicine are not very aware that this represents a basic prerequisite for the restoration of the corporal and spiritual health of every one. We have a collective lapse of memory of mother earth and the connected worlds birdged by the sacred power plants.
- "Shamanic Ecstasy of Consciousness." the mysticism and the connection need reestablishment. This is in process of being accomplished.
- Shamanic practices knowledge and practices: cure and teaching with Shamanic Medicine, which constitutes a system of knowledge and practices focused basically on the medicinal alteration of the therapist's consciousness and perception and – given the case – also of the patient. Medicinal plants is integral to shamanic healing and alters the consciousness of therapist and patient.
- Awakening of the Dr. within-The main objective of our Seminaries consequently consists of the shared awakening and living experience of this Shamanic Ecstasy of Consciousness", because with it also takes place simultaneously the awakening of our inherent and natural healing potency ("The Doctor Within").
- For this, we make use of the shamanic methods transmitted since immemorial times as a universal strategy of the whole humanity for the acquisition of personal and collective knowledge, strength and health. Shamanic methods have been transmitted from time immemoria with collective knowledge being the main conduit over personal knowledge although the both are necessarily interrelated.
- The South American lineage of Indian Shamanism distinguishes itself mainly of an imposing abundance of very extraordinary healing plants. Among them we also find the particularly called "Sacred Power Plants", as for example the San Pedro cactus (botanical name: Trichocereus Pacchanoi) of the Andean mountains and – among many others – the Ayahuasca vine (botanical name: Banisteriopsis Caapi) of the tropical forests of the Amazon basin. To them we owe the activation and energetic transformation of our lucid every day’s consciousness and of our accustomed and daily sensorial perception into the "Shamanic Ecstasy of Consciousness", which is indispensable for the shamanic cure. Shamanic ecstasy is attained through the sacred power and healing plants.
- Liberation of vital blocked energy patterns: Because through waking up that latent "Doctor Within" in the deepest (archetypal or transpersonal) layers of our subconsciousness, simultaneously takes place a rectifying reprogramming of the not well driven vital impulses and a liberating transformation of blocked vital energy patterns. The word archetypal is often used in the writings of Jung who wrote in the initial stages of our understanding of archetypes and consciousness,and this was made manifest to our conscious states in the program of attaining to ecstatic consciousness, limited at one time to the gnostic adepts of former ages.
- Shamanic Christmas, 2004, Venezuela Due to the awakening of our dormant capacities and to the reactivation of our natural, original and sensitive communication and interaction with the energies of Nature and the Creator's Divine Spirit – frequently already lost since a long time, Awakening of our dormant capacities and t necessity of reconnection with Creator's divine spirit is the function of Shamanistic healing resulting in the ecstasy of consciousness alluded to earlier.
- Disharmonies of health can be treated at their active roots: disease is perceived as disharmonies and non connections to the spiritual worlds in one way or another.
- disharmonies of health can be treated at their very active roots (of the subtle energy body). The lack of happiness and of the reason of living (in serious depressions or addictive illnesses), inexplicable anguishes (frequently due to traumatic experiences in the past of the life), sick features of the personality (as paranoiac or passionate habits), equally as disorders of the organic functions and degenerative illnesses can become healed definitely.
- Due to the millennial tradition of Shamanism, where the world of the vision and the faith still represented the unquestionable way for cure, we will also experience, in this inner awakening, the domination of the limiting shackles of our thoughts and our mental understanding. Thus, we begin to discover the marvels of an indescribable, mystic and wholesome perception of the reality. Mystic and wholesome perceptions are likened to unshackling the limitations of our thoughts.This unshackling is a part of this referred to "inner awakening".
- The role of the perennial chatterers and deliberate declaimers who never know of what they speak and create chaos out of context.problematic and contradictory topic for a lot of people. In our days, numerous chatterers, pseudo-shamans, businesspersons and writers of sensationalist articles, attracted in certain way like moths by these footlights, poison the nectar of the wisdom of the Shamanic Medicine taken care of for millennia.
- Internal healing and authentic Shamanism are what we are alluding to.
- Never confuse Shamanic Medicine with the doubtful practices and the black magic of the witchdoctors, sorcerers, occultists, impostors and swindlers, for it, in fact, represents the inherited wisdom of our ancestors of humanity, directed toward the ingenious activation of our internal healing potential.
- For obvious reasons, it is very impossible for the non-professional to be able to separate in this field the straw from the wheat, since there is little wheat (authentic shamans), a lot of straw and still much more non-professionals with frequently adventurous, subjective and speculative views on Shamanism. However, we should not allow becoming victims of the erroneous opinion that there is no wheat, because the field had begun to cover entirely with weeds. The old parable of the wheat and the weeds comes to mind at this juncture.
- For that reason, we are sincerely glad to have found with Dr. Hampejs an authentic wisdom holder of Indian Shamanism. However, I should still advance a thing: Anyone that wants to discover the mystic phenomena of the shamanic cure has to be willing, from the very beginning, to abandon attitudes of intellectual or scientific arrogance. For the uninitiated participants, these experiences still are strange and unknown at first and it needs an expert leadership, to be able to benefit from them for the sake of healing purposes. Try, with an open heart, to understand yourself as a student that goes learning in a very new way, if you want to reach the access to those secrets of the life, which Shamanic Medicine can provide. Another statement comes to minjd from the ancient texts,"he who humbles himself shall be exalted, and he who exalts himself shall be abased".
- Shamanic rituals in the Sacred Mountains of Chivacoa in the State Yaracuy of Venezuela. There we will obtain the attendance and the blessings from the World of the Good Spirits guided by the legendary Indian Queen María Lionza. I will certainly look up these allusions to get a better understanding of these rituals and mountains.

MD in General Medicine
MD in Neurology and Psychiatry.
Shaman & Investigator of Indian Shamanism
in charge by the Ministry of Health of Ecuador.
By commission of the Health Ministry of Ecuador,
Author of the work: "El Éxtasis Shamánico de la Conciencia"
(German version: “Die Schamanische Bewusstseinsekstase”)
Dr. Hampejs is a Medical man in General Medicine, specialized in Neurology and Psychiatry and devoted as officially recognized Shamán since more than 25 years to the investigation, the practice and the teaching of the North and South American Shamanism. In 1991, with the writing of the scientific monograph "El Éxtasis Shamánico de la Conciencia" (German version: Die Schamanische Bewusstseinsekstase”), the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador also granted him the official recognition as expert for Latin American Shamanism. The author offers the German version of his book gladly for free, since his investigations display the essential, scientifically irrefutable arguments for the revaluation and the recognition of the efficiency of the shamanic cure that could contribute an unexpected enrichment – and from already a long necessary time ago – to the orthodox methods of the modern formal medicine. Please direct your orders to my E-Mail Address:Allow me in this new opportunity to familiarize
you with the nature of our Seminars. To tell the truth, the proven history
of Shamanism through the millennia is already notorious.
Archaeological, ethnological and anthropological
investigations verified this without leaving any doubt.
Which – on the other hand – will the duration of the modern scientific or formal medicine be, that
comparatively is only a baby of some few centuries, whose brief history
distinguishes itself by a game of advances and theories more and more
accelerated and chancy and ever newer and modern "last" data of the
reality of life?
Certainly, for the sane reason it is easy to understand
that the ancestral wisdom of Shamanic Medicine would not really have to justify
itself before the priority pretensions of this scientific baby, because Shamanic Medicine qualifies above all by a deep
and true respect for life. The just rational natural sciences cannot demand
easily this ethical quality without any
opposition. All those gigantic nuclear, chemical,
biological and high tech destruction means that are filling the arsenals of the
militaries more than ever today, do evidence very clearly about what we are
talking here; Because the threat of an apocalyptic
self-destruction of the whole humanity represents unquestionably – apart
from the undoubtedly also existent blessings of our scientific era – the
acquisition of much bigger weight of the natural sciences. Beyond
it, unfortunately, men and women, without number in our modern industrial
societies, have forgotten that they are
children of our Mother Earth and that their health and true happiness
depend indispensably on the lived harmony with the created powers of
the Nature as well as with the laws of the Great and Almighty Creative
Spirit that acts in her. Even the public
institutions of health of the formal medicine are not very aware that this
represents a basic prerequisite for the restoration of the corporal and
spiritual health of every one.________________________________________________________
In advance, I would like to remind
you of the particular circumstances that should be taken into account at the
cure and teaching with Shamanic Medicine, which constitutes a system of
knowledge and practices focused basically on the medicinal alteration
of the therapist's consciousness and perception and – given the case – also of
the patient. In the specialized anthropological literature, this
modification of the consciousness and perception is denominated as "Shamanic Ecstasy of Consciousness."
The main objective of our Seminaries consequently
consists of the shared awakening and living experience of this
Shamanic Ecstasy of Consciousness", because with it also takes place
simultaneously the awakening of our inherent and
natural healing potency ("The Doctor Within").
For this, we make use of the
shamanic methods transmitted since immemorial times as a universal strategy
of the whole humanity for the acquisition of personal and collective
knowledge, strength and health.
The South American
lineage of Indian Shamanism distinguishes itself mainly of an imposing abundance
of very extraordinary healing
plants. Among them we also find the particularly called "Sacred Power Plants", as for
example the San Pedro cactus (botanical name: Trichocereus
Pacchanoi) of the Andean mountains
and – among
many others – the Ayahuasca
vine (botanical name: Banisteriopsis Caapi) of the
tropical forests of the Amazon basin. To them we owe the
activation and energetic transformation of our lucid every day’s
consciousness and of our accustomed and daily sensorial
perception into the "Shamanic Ecstasy of
Consciousness", which is indispensable for the
shamanic cure. Because through waking up that
latent "Doctor Within" in the deepest (archetypal or
transpersonal) layers of our subconsciousness, simultaneously
takes place a rectifying reprogramming of the not
well driven vital impulses and a liberating transformation of
blocked vital energy patterns.__________________________________________________________
Shamanic Christmas, 2004, VenezuelaDue to the awakening of our
dormant capacities and to the reactivation of our natural, original
and sensitive communication and interaction with the energies of
Nature and the Creator's Divine Spirit – frequently already lost since a long

the subtle energy body). The lack of happiness and of the reason of living
(in serious depressions or addictive illnesses), inexplicable
anguishes (frequently due to traumatic experiences in the past of the

habits), equally as disorders of the organic functions and
degenerative illnesses can become healed definitely.________________________________________________________
Due to
the millennial tradition of Shamanism, where the world of the vision and
the faith still represented the unquestionable way for cure, we will
also experience, in this inner awakening, the domination of the limiting
shackles of our thoughts and our mental understanding. Thus, we begin to discover the marvels of an indescribable,
mystic and wholesome perception of the reality.
We are
totally aware that the phenomenon "Shamanism", falling progressively since
already some decades in the footlights of the public media, has become a
topic in fashion and precisely for that reason also a problematic and
contradictory topic for a lot of people. In our days, numerous chatterers,
pseudo-shamans, businesspersons and writers of sensationalist articles,
attracted in certain way like moths by these footlights, poison the nectar
of the wisdom of the Shamanic Medicine taken care of for millennia. Never
confuse Shamanic Medicine with the doubtful practices and the black magic of the
witchdoctors, sorcerers, occultists, impostors and swindlers, for it, in
fact, represents the inherited wisdom of our ancestors of humanity,
directed toward the ingenious activation of our internal healing
potential.

victims of the erroneous opinion that there is no wheat, because the field
had begun to cover entirely with weeds. For that reason, we are sincerely
glad to have found with Dr. Hampejs an authentic wisdom holder of Indian
Shamanism.
However, I should still advance a thing: Anyone that
wants to discover the mystic phenomena of the shamanic cure has to be
willing, from the very beginning, to abandon attitudes of intellectual or
scientific arrogance. For the uninitiated participants, these experiences still
are strange and unknown at first and it needs an expert leadership, to be able

to understand yourself as a student that goes learning in a very new way, if you
want to reach the access to those secrets of the life, which Shamanic
Medicine can provide._________________________________________________________

GENERAL INFORMATION OF THE TRIP
AND THE BANK CONNECTION
· Your flight finishes in Caracas.
In
case that your airplane would land in Caracas in the late afternoon, you will
have to spend the night there (for e.g. in the nice hotel Santiago * * * that is
safe, comfortable and economic and only 15 minutes of the airport), since
the national flights to Mérida will be carried out only until 6 PM. Naturally
you could find a good hotel in Caracas by means of the Internet and already
carry out the reservation of a room from now on. Good hotels send a Shuttle Bus
to pick you up at the airport.
Make the reservation for your flight to
Caracas as soon as possible (!), so that it doesn't happen that you cannot
get the trip to the wanted date.
· For security reasons it is likewise
advisable to make the reservation for your flight from Caracas to Mérida by
means of the Internet (e.g. with AVIOR, AVENSA, STA. BÁRBARA or AERO POSTAL –
the lines of national flights), although the tickets can usually also be
bought in the windows of the section for the national flights of the airport
immediately before the take off. However, during the traded days and in the high
season of tourism serious difficulties can take place in this respect. Please
communicate with me from Caracas and indicate me on time the hour of your
landing foreseen in Mérida (Tel.: 0274 - 414.55.93, Mobil: 0416 - 470.35.79), in
order to be able to pick you up from the airport on time, because from my house
I need about 1 ½ - hours to arrive there. We meet in the airport restaurant.
· The Dollars respectively Euros for your small expenses can be changed,
of course, officially in Venezuela, but the official exchange rate is not
very favorable (at the moment it is at 2150. - Bolívar for 1. - US $). However,
when arriving in Caracas you immediately will be surrounded by innumerable
unofficial money-changers, who will offer you a much better exchange rate,
located at the moment at about 2450. - Bolívar for 1. - US $ or in about 13%
better than the official exchange rate. For the same reason it is not advisable
to bring traveler checks, because then you will be forced to change to the
official exchange rate. To Venezuela it is necessary to bring the Dollars or
Euros cash!
Vaccines are not needed for Venezuela.
· The
Seminars take place all the year round. In order to be able to make the
reservations for a convenient accommodation in the surroundings of Mérida
in time, the remittance of 20 percent of the seminar dues (370. - U.S. $ for 15

weeks before the beginning of the seminar. For that there are two
remittance possibilities:
1. with DHL (Western Union)
2. as bank

your enrolment fee for Mérida / Venezuela with DHL (Western Union), since this
is the quickest and surest way for it. Bank remittances to Venezuela
