Essential Self

Who am I? Who am I? Or perhaps the question is better phrased as What am I? This is a metaphysical question that has spawned hundreds of books by philosophers around the world and across the ages. This exercise uses a disidentification meditation and then a consideration of your roles/hats you wear/things you do vs your true or Higher Self (a concept much in vogue again through the work of Internal Family Systems). It concludes with a visioning of the beautiful, healed path you would like your life to take from this day onwards, the path of joy, love, service, health, purpose.

Cords

Cord cutting (or cord-resetting) are cords with living people – not the dead (a separate process). These can be people that you never intend to set eyes on again (a complete cut), or people that are in the family or your workplace or your social network. Maybe you love them and want to see them, but also want to change the energy because some co-dependence or other negative connections have arisen. Maybe you actually would prefer never to set eyes on them again, but you know you will come into contact with them and you want to remove the negativity. In such cases it needs to be a reset, not a complete cut, as there will be ongoing connection.

Whether a cut or a reset, the rule is zero contact with these people for 3 days afterwards – no face to face contact, no social media, don’t pick up the phone, don’t open texts etc. So sometimes people want to ‘warn’ the person in question before they do the work that they will be offline/unavailable for three days!

Working with the ancestors

The shamans never worked with people just as individuals. They always saw people as part of a tribe, a family, a community. In this piece of work we will connect with three ancestors from the shamanic perspective, stepping outside conventional linear space and time into the Field. This is only for those who have passed over – only the dead. This brings us truly into the science of non-locality – entanglement in the Akashic field where all information is known and stored, the omniscient and omnipresent. From dozens of sessions we have observed and participated in, as well as our work with our clients, we truly believe that many of us at this time are consciously stepping into the role of not only healing ourselves, doing our own work, but also healing our karmic and geneologic lineages and reaching out to all humanity. This gives an incredible opportunity, but the weight of the work is enormous. Don’t underestimate the scope and scale of the work.

Fire Ritual

The fire ritual has been and continues to be of huge significance to shamans and other healers around the world, who believe that we can give things to the fire for closure; take things from the fire in renewal; feed our energies from the fire, and connect across space and time through the fire.

The Pachamama stick is to celebrate the bounty of this beautiful planet we live on and/or honour the pain and suffering we humans are causing it. Together we will create a beautiful ‘pachamama stick’ of natural elements, into which each person present can blow their blessings for this planet, and then we put this blessing into the fire.

Despachos (Offerings)

The kausay pacha is the energy of the living universe and the pampa mesayoq shamans are experts at making wonderful offerings. These powerful and beautiful offerings can be made for any significant undertaking – but in the workshop we would do an ayni despacho to help bring us into ayni – which means right relationship with ourselves, others and the universe. After being created it is burned, sending the prayers and blessings of the despacho into the kausay pacha with the energy of the fire.
