The sacrament of the Daime is what sets the Santo Daime Church apart from more traditional religions, and provides a profound experience for many who use it. However, as with the use of any mindaltering substances, the Daime should be approached with respect. Many believe that the key to the mystical experience is not contained solely in the specific chemical compounds of the Daime, but also exists in the community of those involved in the ritual. The sacrament is believed to align the body, soul, and mind to a higher universal good, bringing healing to all who are ready to accept it.
