That Crystal Sites Guide: Metaphysical Properties and Crystal Meanings Azeztulite is among the highest vibrations in the Mineral Kingdom. It has been said that it stimulates the three 'ascension points', at the base of the spine, the middle of the abdomen, and the center of the brain. These points are believed to be important for people choosing to consciously enter higher vibrational realms while in the physical body. Azeztulites are stones which have been engineered etherically to carry the energies and communications of a group soul called the' Azez'. According to their channelings, the Azez, who are here in non-physical form, station themselves underground in power spots such as Sedona's Cathedral Rock and California's Mt Shasta, bringing to Earth a positive energy that they call `the nameless light", which assists planets and people in transitioning to higher frequencies.

Virtually every shaman and curandero has his or her personal recipe, often incorporating secret components. The nature and spirit of the various admixture plants brings undeniable healing versatility to the medicine, often enriching one's visionary communion with the plants.Here are the "recipes" of some ayahuasqueros we know here in the Iquitos region of Perú.Jose Padilla, Iquitos, Perú (52 years an ayahuasquero)1 kilogram of fresh ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) combined with 50 chacruna leaves (Psychotria viridis).

Anthropologist Homayun Sidky, at Miami University in Ohio, says that this theory, despite a surface plausibility, is without empirical justification. The argument raises a number of interesting questions, and is worth following.
