This week on the Recipe to the Road podcast I am speaking to psychic, urban shaman and life coach Ama. We met in Merída, Mexico where she has been living for the past 2 years. She tells me about how she ended up moving from the US to Mexico and her travels around the world; to the Caribbean, Ireland and Japan as well as her biggest trip to Peru where she spent 4 months learning about the plant medicine ayahuasca.

Why Merida?

Ama explains that the city chose her, not the other way around. She stumbled upon an Airbnb with an amazing house and a huge pool that caught her attention. When she arrived, she noticed a jaguar on the front of the house, which turned out to be her spirit animal so she took that as a sign that she was in the right place. 

From Vacation to Relocation

Ama came to Merida for a two-month sabbatical with her best friend, intending to work on some things and relax. However, they soon decided that they wanted to stay in Merida permanently. Ama started looking at different neighbourhoods and meeting the locals, experiencing the city's architecture and culture.

Personal Growth through Ayahuasca

Ama talks about her experience with Ayahuasca, a plant medicine that helped her purge negative emotions and thoughts. She explains how it opened her up to a deeper understanding of herself and how she could approach the world. The journey led her to take steps towards her personal growth and development, including learning Spanish and embracing the local culture.

Ama's Psychic Abilities

Ama talks about her psychic abilities and how they manifested.While she was working with Ayahuasca she began having profound conversations with a presence that she refers to as "creator." This presence told her to clean up her life, change everything and do healing work. It also told her that she would start seeing and hearing things.

Learning about Spirituality through Travel

Ama shares that she was willing to travel to find out more about spirituality and to meet shamans and indigenous people. She learned that there were good and bad shamans. Ama shares that she had a bad experience with a shaman who tried to force himself on her sexually while she was on the medicine, but she didn't let it stop her from continuing her journey. She stayed in Peru and had many more amazing experiences exploring different shamans, both men and women, and learning from them.

Embracing Personal Growth

Through her experiences with plant medicine, travel, and spiritual exploration, Ama has embraced personal growth and development. She now works as a medium, clairvoyant, and holistic life coach, helping others on their own journeys of self-discovery.
