2023-11-05 09:42:48

Visiting Sonora, Liliana Ugaldegranddaughter of the famous shaman Bárbara Guerrero, better known as Do itexpressed his concern regarding the moment that the medicina ancestral in Mexico.

Accompanied by her grandfather José Valdez, another shaman and traditional doctor with whom she is collaborating, Liliana expressed that we are currently experiencing a critical moment, both for the lack of medicine as well as by people who offer it improvisedly.

“Unfortunately all this is ending, there are fewer and fewer trees, less fields, there are fewer and fewer mountains, fewer plants, and it is worrying, because this knowledge is millennia old,” declared Ugalde Bautista.

“A lot of medicine is running out, we have to go to other places because you can’t get it as easily as before. Even in Mexico there is already medicine that you can’t find anymore, and we have to order it from other places,” he acknowledged.

Liliana, who works with teas, herbs, ointments, concoctionsamong other things, asks people to be very responsible regarding where they go or who they approach to seek healing.

José Valdez, for his part, with decades of experience in the management of ancestral medicines, such as ayahuascathe holy children, the bufo alvarios (toad), kambó, snuff, among others, asked people to reflect on what this knowledge really represents.

“This medicine expands your consciousness, it opens doors up there, in the universe or whatever you want to call it. Because there are people who do it as a joke, and it is not offered an experience, it is healing a human being, that is why it is called medicine,” he emphasized.

José explained that the toad in Sonora, which secretes the substance used in shamanic rituals, also has begun to become scarce for the irresponsibility of human beings.

“The toad is running out, because the ecosystem is no longer functioning with the naturalness of the Pachamama. For example, I don’t grow more than I need. I am one of those who look for the toads, I carefully select them and secrete them for my use, for my patients, I do not sell the substance, and there are many who do not even know how to obtain it or what treatment they used. I can tell you that 90 percent of those who offer toads have never had one in their hands,” she said.

“This is not a game, this is serious, it is a world of secrets of ancient knowledge, which you have to know before offering medicine or even before taking medicine.

“It’s not easy, it’s a very long road, you have to prepare. There are people who start giving medicine and do well the first few months, but they come across a serious case or an accident happens to them with a patient and they don’t know how to act. , they don’t have the slightest idea, because with such strong emotions there can be many reactions, and you have to be prepared to know what to do,” emphasized Grandpa José.

Likewise, Liliana asked those interested to make sure to do medicina ancestral with serious, prepared and professional people.

“Unfortunately there are many who give ayahuasca, who give sapo, who tell you that they cure, who tell you many things, but they are not prepared. Don’t put yourself in the hands of just anyone. Because because of that anyone, they generalize us all. I in this case, because I have the weight of my grandmother Do it, and because they read the wrong books, they come and demand things from me that they read in the books, and that I cannot because they were not like that. Besides, she was Do it“I’m Liliana,” he stressed.

His eternal struggle with skepticism and modernity

The fight between modernity and ancient medicine It is latent and daily, often through criticism and disqualification from society itself.

Liliana and José explain that it is something they are already used to, however, they do not listen or doubt their abilities.

“They point out everything to us, of witches, sorcerers, satanists, of everything, but that is the opinion of some people, just that. We have a much greater conviction, and we are here for something. There are many people who need us. And we don’t discover the black thread or anything like that, we are part of everything. I am grateful and I think José is too, because we thank God for these gifts that he gave us, because we can help people, and there is nothing more beautiful than that,” Ugalde shared.

Grandfather José, for his part, commented that, from science, human anatomy It is wonderful, but it states that psychic energy and mystical energy have a lot to do with people’s health, which is why the treatment of a patient and their healing process is never the same as another in the field of ancient medicine.

“We were created by a divine source, and we arrived at this earthly plane with a factor of divinity. But it is something that we forget as we grow, we become contaminated with society, with distractions, with the superficial, with the ego,” indicated the experienced shaman.

People, José insisted, must first enter into a factor of acceptance within creation and within their own illness, so as not to live dissatisfied. Therefore, from the moment acceptance is generated in the patient, he assures that a high percentage begins a authentic healing process, both physically and spiritually.

They explain that there are people who come to see them already with many illnesses manifested in their bodies, a consequence of the bad energy that they have been accumulating in their daily lives.

“They bring a very low energy, because they don’t like anything regarding their life, because they live it pointing out or criticizing. There are people who get sick because of damage they do to themselves, because they carry so much hatred, so much anger, that they damage themselves. This whole plane is full of energies, good and bad,” Liliana quoted.

“Another common thing that makes people sick is the problems of others. From family members, from their children, from their friends… they must let go of all that. You really can’t imagine all that we clean, all that we heal, that Sometimes it’s up to us too, although in our case we know how to purify ourselves, we know how to cleanse ourselves. The evils don’t reach us, because there are people on the other side who also want to harm us, but nothing happens to us. That’s why I always say that if we are with the father, with God, there is nothing they can do to us,” Liliana stressed.

The legend of his grandmother, Do it

Reference to his grandmother, the famous Do itannounced that he is working on a book where he seeks to reveal who truly was Barbara Guerreroas well as really what he did and how he worked.

“Many people don’t know her or stick with what they read regarding her. My grandmother was a person who was born with the gift, my grandmother healed since she was little, using meditation a lot. Through meditation you can do many things, and any person can do it. I tell people that they can heal themselves, but they don’t know the power they have. The word is as powerful as you don’t have an idea. If you believe, believe,” he shared.

“Many things have to be clarified regarding my grandmother, because there are many people who believe what that scientist (Jacobo Grinberg) wrote and that is why there are people who call us charlatans, or tell us that we are of no use because we cannot do what we toward Do it, and my grandmother didn’t do that thing he said regarding appearing organs. There are people who come and ask me to do what my grandmother did, and I clarify that it was not like that, and some even complain, and I answer that it is not my responsibility, that we were not the ones who wrote that,” he said.

He asked people to be very careful with what they read or what they watch on the Internet, which always questionif you are really interested, go to the source, always look for the truth and the origin.

“For example, the children of Do it, we are also their grandchildren, and they don’t come to ask us. They stay with what they read regarding that man. How can a scientist know more than one’s own family? Do it He had a history from a long time ago, long before this man, and he only showed a little piece of his history. But if he had lived everything that Do it did, really know who my grandmother was,” he lashed out.

He emphasized that his grandmother healed through little brother Cuauhtémocwho possessed it to be able to heal people, the same thing that now enters it.

“For me, God and love are the most important thing. He is the creator of everything. It is he who gave this gift to my grandmother, and it is he who allows him to return to his little brother, so that he can continue with his work,” he shared.

“Another thing that this man (Grinberg) did not say is that many people wanted to die with my grandmother, because the time comes for all of us. One of the most wonderful powers we have when healing is to make people understand their illness, even death. From the moment they accept it, they begin their healing,” he cited.

Lastly, he stated that hopes to release the book next year, which he assured has already been advanced, which will be dedicated entirely to the figure of his grandmother and how she helped and healed people.

“I say with great pride that it was my grandmother, I learned a lot from her, I also saw a lot although I was 9 years old when she left, but I have a memory and a father who taught me a lot. And I have a being (Cuauhtémoc) who I got into it and now it comes into me, it guides me and has taught me many things that I can say with certainty and security that things happened like this, because he speaks through me,” he concluded.
