Наверное, те, кто хоть раз побывали у шаманов шипибо на церемонии Аяуаски, навсегда преображаются, входя в семью прекрасного народа. Во время церемонии можно увидеть энергетический узор мира (узор шипибо-конибо). А прислушавшись, понять, что эти узоры можно не только видеть, но и слышать. Узоры вдруг превращаются в мелодии. Шаман управляет энергиями с помощью этих видений и звуков. Свет, звук и формы — суть одно. Все зависит от намерения. Если человеческое сердце тревожно, если в нем нет мира и покоя, тогда свет-вибрация порождает угнетающие звуко-формы. И перед ним предстает ад. Когда шаман-курандеро с помощью икарос умиротворяет наше сердце, мир тоже преображается. Такова в общих чертах терапия амазонских шаманов с помощью вибрации-звука.
