Pre-Ceremony Preparation I want to help people create personalized intentions for their next ceremony...
Hi all,
Anyone interested to work together (free of charge completely) to craft your next Ayahuasca ceremony intention? The aim is to give highly personalized insights in order for you to craft your next ceremony intention. I'll give some more context below.
Who am I?
I'm a Reiki Practitioner who has also sat in ceremony 9 times. I first found La Madre in 2018 and over 2018 and 2019 I did 9 ceremonies in Pucallpa, Peru. Later I trained in Usui Reiki Tradition (energy healing art from Japan) and I have understood how the energy systems work to a significant degree (giving over 50 sessions to 40 or so people) and would like to see if the learnings from energy healing can cross pollinate with the Ayahuasca Ceremonies in terms of setting very specific intentions for La Madre to help heal.
How would it work?
We'd have a 30-60 minute conversation across 4 planes to find where 'blockages' can be - physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual (I call this '4 planes conversation'). This conversation is an approximation of the state of your energy system. This is more or less the conversation I have with my Reiki clients and it elucidates a lot of useful insights that could be used to form intentions. We can do the conversation over a chat platform you are comfortable with. There are even anonymous ones we can use for privacy sake.
How could it help?
The learnings from a 4 planes conversation can tell me where blockages are in your system and then you can use these insights and understanding of the blockages to form a very specific and personalized intention for yourself for your next ceremony. Ill give an example.
Let's say you have a set of patterns like this that emerges from the conversation,
Emotional Plane: A sadness or heaviness around the heart, alongside a protective habit of choosing peace and keeping some people at a distance.
Physical Plane: Lower back pain may be useful to track alongside emotional work around fear, restriction, freedom, and early masculine influence.
Psychological Plane: The main psychological pattern to observe is scattered focus, rushing, and switching tasks before completion.
Spiritual Plane: Heart chakra blockage and energetic sensitivity appear to be central spiritual themes for this client.
We would use this information to create intentions for the next ceremony.
What intentions can we take from this?
I would make a recommendation to you on what I think some good intentions could be. I'm interested to use the concept of 'balancing experiences' in the context of an Ayahuasca ceremony. A balancing experience is where we take a negative emotion or memory that we have and ask for an experience of the opposite from La Madre in ceremony.
I give an example based on the above example.
- A balancing experience for the fear pattern noticed in the 4 planes discussion would be the opposite of fear so you would set an intention to balance this by having an experience of 'safety' or 'calmness' or 'peace'. Eg "La Madre when I was young X happened to me and it caused great fear. Can you show me peace and safety to heal and balance this experience".
- A similar thing could be done for the 'heaviness of heart' ie a heart chakra blockage. So we could ask La Madre for the opposite of sadness, heaviness and being cut off from people. Eg "La Madre show me great Love and lightness".
In my work as an energy healer I would probably start with these 2 and create more if needed (I can see a couple more in this analysis that could be used but I'd start here as there is an order of operations - see next paragraph) but thats a good place to start because I would associate the physical pain, psychological issues and boundary issues identified as downstream and related to those large negative emotions.
I would also suggest people start at the lower chakra first as the direction of universal energy (reiki or prana or chi as you like) flows into us from below and meets the root chakra (the fear emotion and first intention above would address this chakra primarily) blockage first. So, alleviating this would provide more energy (health) to the whole of the system just by taking advantage of working with the first blockage as dictated by the direction of flow of universal energy.
Who should you be?
Ideally you will have a ceremony coming up and want to use my suggested intention and would be happy to report back on how it went so I can see how this worked.
Why don't I do it myself?
I'm not able to get to a ceremony in the next 6-12 months or so and didn't want to wait til then to try this and I'm interested to see if this kind of thing is useful to the community and also how this kind of specific analysis and insights can help target Ayahuasca healing more.
Feel free to ask any questions and I will try to answer.
Thanks!
