Sinicuichi / Sun Opener Heimia Salicifolia and myrtifolia is a species of flowering plant in the loosestrife family, Lythraceae. It is native to the Americas, ranging from the southwestern United States (Texas and New Mexico) through Mexico and Central America to Argentina. Common names include Sini, Elixir of the Sun, Sinicuichi which means Sun Opener to Natives and Willow-leaf Heimia.[1]

Spiritual Use and Traditions

Sinicuichi/Sun Opener (Heimia salicifolia) is to be used as a Shamanic Entheogen. When used within this context, this plant can invoke a deep sence of calmness and Unity. The Natives believe that Sinicuichi has supernatural qualities, helping them recall past events back to pre-natal ones as if they happened yesterday.


  • To be used in a Ceremonial Setting.

Preparation

Heimia salicifolia leaves are soaked in water and left to ferment/brew in the Sun for 2 days, the water volume is then reduced, and the bitter tasting Elixir is ingested in one gulp.


  • Smoking Marijuana at the peak of a "Sini Session" will dramatically enhance the experience.


Note

"Psychedelic" literally means "Mind Manifest". So it depends on whats on your mind and what you are trying to accomplish in the Session/Ceremony. Lessons learned using psychedelics are completely subjective, so what you realize, some people might not even get close to.


  • Not addictive
