â€¢ Describes appropriate methods of use, a shamanic diet to increase effectiveness, and the meaning of the symbols experienced during salviaâ€™s ecstatic embrace

â€¢ Explores recent clinical research into salviaâ€™s long-term positive psychological effects and its potential as a treatment for Alzheimerâ€™s, depression, and addiction

Salvia divinorum has been used since ancient times by the Mazatec shamans of Mexico for divination, vision quests, and healing. Known by many names--nearly all associated with the Virgin Mary, who has come to symbolize the spirit of salvia--this plant ally is now regarded as the most powerful natural hallucinogen.

Providing the first practical guide to the shamanic, spiritual, and therapeutic uses of salvia, Ross Heaven shares his in-depth quest to connect with the spirit of this plant teacher. He explores recent clinical research into its many long-term psychological effects, such as increased insight and self-confidence, improved mood and concentration, and feelings of calmness and connection with nature, as well as salviaâ€™s potential for combating diseases like Alzheimerâ€™s, depression, and even cocaine addiction.

Reviewing the traditional Mazatec ceremonies surrounding salviaâ€™s harvest and use, Heaven describes appropriate methods of consumption, typical dosages, and the shamanic diet he used to increase salviaâ€™s effectiveness. Examining firsthand accounts of salvia journeys from around the world, he decodes the meaning of the symbolic images experienced during salviaâ€™s ecstatic embrace and details the interplay between salvia and the lucid dreaming state. Comparing salvia to ayahuasca and the San Pedro cactus, Heaven explains that salviaâ€™s greatest strength as a shamanic plant ally lies in its ability to connect you with your higher purpose and aid you in envisioning your unique path in life.
