El resurgimiento de la medicina psicodélica ha identificado los beneficios terapéuticos de la psilocibina, pero considerado pocos aspectos fuera de sus efectos neurobiológicos y sintomatologías psiquiátricas. La velada mazateca es una práctica tradicional de sanación mediante el uso de hongos psilocibios. En este trabajo, analizamos sus elementos simbólicos y los comprendemos bajo la cognición extendida y un resignificado efecto placebo. Mostramos que las creencias sobre la sacralidad de los hongos, el papel activo del paciente, la representación del chamán, y los espacios físicos y actos en la ceremonia, constituyen elementos simbólicos que inciden en los efectos farmacológicos de la psilocibina y en el bienestar del paciente. La velada brinda guías para incorporar elementos cognitivos extra-cerebrales en la resurgida medicina psicodélica.Downloads
