The Cure List

Found nestled along the ruddy dirt road on the way to ESPIRITU DE ANACONDA (Iquitos, Peru) is a small shop honoring the Shipibo tradition.  Two beautiful souls, Bastian and his wife Vanessa operate the cool little store about a half hour’s walk from the healing center.  They buy everything from the Shipibos in Pucallupa and always have amazing stuff.  Checkout the video to see some of the different bracelets and textiles they carry.  Most of the goods contain different patterns of Master Plants used in the healing practice of Vegetalismo.

The Venice float lab has 2 chambers where you can meditate in an isolation tank for 90 minutes for 40 dollars.

Float Lab builds immersive environments that eliminate all outside influence. The chamber dimensions are 4W x 7H x 8L. Inside is a ventilated enclosure with additional oxygen being provided. It contains 12 inches of solution consisting of 1000 pounds of Epsom Salt and approximately 200 gallons of water, which is then heated to 95 degrees [external body temperature]. The solution is maintained by utilizing UV and Ozone technologies as well as other advanced components that provide the ultimate purification system. Once the body is suspended in the solution the brain is no longer required for gravitational navigation or external input processing.

Turbo Sonic® patented technology accelerates the body’s natural healing response, increases cellular oxygen circulation, enhances cellular nutrient uptake, stimulates fluid movement and facilitates cellular waste removal.

“The standards are those we have found necessary for reliability of operation, for safety, and for maintenance of a hygienic environment. Low cost of operation and safety are favored over low initial investment; if a more expensive item meets our standards and decreases the cost of operation we use it rather than a less expensive item that may be less reliable, unsafe or costly to operate in the long run (one year or more). A cheaper item may end up generating far more cost in terms of unreliable operation, redesign cost, time spent on its maintenance, anxiety over its unsafe operation, and its potentially unhealthful effects on persons using the tank.” By John C. Lilly, The Deep Self

The  natural hot springs (even some secret Sulfur baths) in Ojai, CA are off the beaten path (near the lake), down a trail, and over a bunch of rocks, are some of  Ojai’s best kept secrets.  The pools mix with the river so there’s always a constant flow of fresh clean water.  Temperature is a comfortable 100-105 degrees and are great for meditating – the locals are great!

Ojai is an amazing place. If you go, be sure to check out FEAST BISTRO

*PLEASE NOTE: At the time this video was taken we were unaware that the springs are located on private property. Since then, the owners have asked us to keep the location private. Therefore, we choose to respect their wishes. Sorry for the inconvenience to all requesting directions.

Valley of Dawn is a community of mediums about 50 kilometers from Brasília. Between three and four thousand people visit the Valley every day seeking help for their spiritual or personal problems.  This is the kind of stuff you only see in Brazil.  The mediums are reincarnations of extraterrestrials.

The do a daily ritualized procession around a body of water dressed in velvet ritual in the scorching mid day sun.  These people are healers. People with substance abuse and a myriad of other conditions show up there to get worked on.

Valley of Dawn could easily be mistaken for a spiritual tourism stop on the way to the waterfalls at Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park or the UFO institute in Alto Pariso or even the The Temple of Good Will in Brasilia, but it’s a universe unto itself beyond conception till you stand in the center of this vortex of transcendence and experience the magic.
