Shamanic Plant Medicine, Sound Healing, & Meditation
Are you looking for a more natural way to navigate our changing world? Come get grounded with us with a natural plant medicine used by shamans across the globe, a guided meditation with breathwork, sound healing, and some good conversation after for integration.
We will be starting with intention stating for each individual. Intention creates action. It is important to get really clear on what intention you are asking for when you are participating in ceremonies such as this. We suggest you take the time to reflect on major changes in your life that you may be seeking, form an intention statement that is short and precise, write it down, and bring it with you.
We will then move on to some breathwork and sound healing that will help to awaken your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies. The breathwork is kundalini awakening and helps to balance the chakra system.
Once we awaken our energies we will be ready for the shamanic plant medicines:
Sananga is a liquid form of plant medicine that is put into the eyes. It is a strong medicine that helps with nervous conditions, near or far-sightedness, and helps cleanse negative energy. For lung capacity issues or not being able to take full breaths... the plant medicine, sananga, is phenomenal in helping with this. It’ll move stuck energy and emotions but also begin to help expand the lungs and release the diaphragm for deeper breaths. It is a plant medicine that goes into the eyes. It does burn but also clears panema through the body (stuck energy). It’s also incredible for the nervous system and a great way to strengthen the nervous system. If you are dealing with stuck emotion or even subtle panic attacks... targeting the nervous system and beginning to strengthen it with both breathwork and sananga will help out tremendously.
Hape' (Rape'), which is a prepared powder of medicinal herbs from Brazil, often with a tobacco base and other blends of herbs. Hape' is typically made with mapacho, which elicits a feeling of alertness and elevation that surpasses most other natural plant-based effects. The practice of consuming powdered plant medicines through the nose is much more ancient than we realized (dating from the pre-Columbian days) and was first observed among the Brazilian indigenous tribes. The effects of hapé are experienced rapidly and intensely because the powdered snuff is administered through the nose. Hapé brings you to a place of acute attention and awareness. The mind becomes quieter, negativity clears, and emotional tensions release. People often feel more grounded during the experience, allowing them to clear up confusion or discomfort about an issue they may have been experiencing. If you focus on the intention you set, you may easily find what you were looking for, be it a state of consciousness or an answer to a question.
(All Hape' used will be provided and administered by the facilitator, Stephanie)
After the medicines are administered participants will be guided through a meditation that will help the intentions set to be manifested. Also, the participants will be led to connect to Source and deepen their connection to Mother Earth.
Afterward, we will have time to socialize and share our experiences in order to integrate what we experienced. Integration is a key factor in making lasting changes that these types of ceremonies produce.
This is an "in-person" event and will take place indoors, so there is limited space. Bring a blanket and pillow for comfort. Also, if you have any alter items (crystals, sage, etc.) that you would like to bring for your personal area feel free to do so.
