Journeying Through the Invisible: The Craft of Healing With, and Beyond, Sacred Plants, as Told by a Peruvian Medicine Man

Journeying Through the Invisible is Peruvian medicine man Hachumak’s invitation into the world of Ayahuasca and healing.

A mysterious and powerful plant medicine with curative powers that is drunk as a tea during a sacred ceremony, Ayahuasca has been known to change people’s lives dramatically. But what was once a healing experience practiced only by Indigenous South Americans—and sought out by the adventurous few—has become increasingly popular around the world.

A practitioner of traditional healing arts, Hachumak bases his unique approach on ritualistic simplicity, highlighting the essence of the Art, which includes the borrowed forces from Nature. In this remarkable book, he shares his knowledge and experiences to broaden our understanding of this powerful medicine and protect it from misuse and exploitation. Revealing his own path to becoming a shaman, Hachumak explains how a well-crafted Ayahuasca ceremony unfolds when run by an experienced curandero, describing in detail what to expect—both physically and psychologically—while under the guidance of the sacred plants.

Central to his message and key to understanding the deep healing work that he performs, Hachumak’s concepts of Soul Consciousness and Suffering Consciousness provide new insights for personal self-reflection. Suffering Consciousness keeps us stuck in our negative ways, but when Soul Consciousness is awakened during a ceremony or spiritual moment, our entire being awakens, and we are shown the way to live according to the dictates of our conscience and the teachings of the spirits.

With Hachumak as our experienced and trusted guide, Journeying Through the Invisible offers a new and healing way of seeing ourselves and the world around us.
