The Cosmic Curation of Healing
Working with Plant Medicines
I have a long history with sitting in ayahuasca ceremonies and not necessarily knowing what I am getting myself into. It’s been about ten years since my first ceremony, and I wanted to connect into a deeper understanding of the energetics when we connect to these plant teachers.
The Energetics of Plant Medicine
When we connect to other plants and sit in ceremony, there is a lot of healing that is happening. We begin to integrate a stronger relationship with nature, we start to feel a call to work with other modalities in the space consciousness and there is a strong happiness or buzz that comes from the experience that may remind us of other times in our life where we felt this deep clarity and peace of mind.
Whoops…
My biggest mistake when taking plant medicines was working with a large amount of medicine at once and not allowing the process to integrate properly from ceremony to ceremony. This seemed to be a common mistake among people back in 2015, but the biggest take away from working in this manner was that I started to learn a very important principal.
Silver Lining Mistakes
There’s no reason to force medicine down our throat, but if we have a lot of energy and its coursing through our body, we often have an unconscious reaction to it where we begin to follow that energy wherever it leads us. In my circumstance, it led me to do healing work with Thai chi and qi gong in elementary schools, but my bigger take away was that it also opened the chakra at the top of my head called the Crown Chakra.
The Crown Chakra
The Crown Chakra is a powerful energetic portal to our teachers. They may come in real life, or they may come in songs, or they may come in just a manifestation of situations that unfold in our day-to-day life. Either way, the energy of the crown chakra helped me understand that when we connect to the cosmos or the universe or God, we can communicate what it is we want and the world or the universe will give it to us in conventional or unconventional ways.
Energy Work
In my case, I started to heal and be healed by facilitating a strong circulation of energy from my energy points throughout my entire body. I like to think of these points as a map and with the integration of lay lines, it began to manifest as an actual map where certain spaces became a honing and integration of different parts of my life experiences into one expression of healing.
What is Healing?
Basically, this map began to put together a picture of understanding that is not always so clear. We have certain affinities and preferences, but what I believe was the true beauty of this process was that I was able to connect the dots or energy points in my body with energy points on the earth to help me find a true love for everything I do. So much so, I can do them with a joy and allow new treasures and experiences to flow in through the collaboration of others. This process of unfolding allowed me to understand and embrace a sacred collaboration with the cosmos where our only limitation is what we can embrace from moment to moment. Once we can click in and stay present and truly enjoy our life, then there is an inherent congruency to everything we do where we no longer pretend. Where we can stay honest with who we are and how we present ourselves to the world in every situation. Where we are proud of the person we grow into each and every day.
Aho!
