You Are The Medicine- Maria Sabina Wisdom

I love the words of wisdom by Maria Sabina in this poem, "You Are The Medicine."

Maria Sabina was a Mazatec shaman who did not know how to read or write. Her wisdom has been translated down through the ages from her Mazatec language into Spanish and English.

Transcript

Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon,

With the sound of the river and the waterfall,

With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.

Heal yourself with mint,

Neem,

And eucalyptus.

Sweeten with lavender,

Rosemary,

And chamomile.

Hug yourself with the cacao bean and a hint of cinnamon.

Put love in tea instead of sugar,

And drink it looking at the stars.

Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.

Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it.

Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition,

Looking at the world with your forehead.

Jump,

Dance,

Sing so that you live happier.

Heal yourself with beautiful love,

And always remember,

You are the medicine.
