"Life is a mystery, let go of your ideas"

In this episode we share about how to avoid the biggest mistakes when you embark on your Ayahuasca journey and how to prepare in a sacred and responsible way to get the best out of your experience.

Highlights

The Calling, deeper need for change, need to go to the root of the problems

Choosing your guide, the place and connecting with like minded community

Once you say Yes, you are on the journey….

It is a journey (preparation, initiation, integration) not an event, taking time off for yourself

Expectations and disappointments regarding the ceremony, good and bad trips

What is a pre screening process?

What are special circumstances and contraindications?

Setting a clear, high vibe intention is vital, set and setting shapes the journey

Spiritual preparation, creating a safe place, what is sacred ceremony

How to surrender and trust in yourself, in your journey

Mantra for this week:

“I get out what I put in!”

Remember, you are the healer and love is the medicine.

What is shadow work and why is it good for us? Definitions of shadow work Why is it important to do shadow work? Best tools for shadow work Assisting others in their shadow work Benefits of shadow work, why is it life changing?  Our prayers to the world.

The intention of this Round Table is to unite healers and teachers across the globe to join in service, to educate and uplift humanity in this time of global transition. The focus is healing, awakening and self empowerment, expanding our awareness of who we truly are. We stand on the common ground that we all are healers and love is the medicine that heals old wounds and brings us together as a real family that we are. We walk many paths but we all walk the one path of the One Heart.

And so, we gather together to bring our experiences, wisdom and tools to those who are looking for guidance or support.

The Round Table also serves us to amplify our message and reach people who are looking for our medicine. The ancient format of circle is an energetic protection and source of support and guidance that we co-create naturally when come into a sacred space with intention.

This idea is the seed, and I am excited to see how it will grow and flourish. Please feel free to share your ideas!

"Everything is a mirror for the Soul to recognize itself" 

In this episode we dive into some shadow work and talk about how ayahuasca can help to lift the veil from our eyes and help us to heal & awaken?

We explore how people, places and events serve as mirrors for us to expand our awareness and integrate aspects of ourselves that were denied or forgotten. 

Ayahuasca can help us to change our perception and turn our challenges into gifts.  Our triggers can show us our blind spots and lead us into self acceptance and self love. 

We discuss why there is no point to throw stones at the mirror and how to shift into gratitude instead for the gift of love and freedom.

Our mantra for this week: “You are my mirror, thank you for showing me where I need to love myself to be free.“

Remember, you are the healer and love is the medicine.                       https://www.facebook.com/groups/AyahuascaAssistedTherapy/

In this episode we share about how Ayahuasca can be a powerful ally to connect to your inner guidance and to remove obstacles so you can follow your intuition. Following inner guidance is vital to be a free and sovereign being but it can be challenging in a society that rewards reason and logic. Tune in to learn what happens when you listen or don’t listen to your intuition and share some personal stories and miracles. As it turns out, intuition is one of the best kept secret and directly connected to success, clarity and confidence. It can greatly reduce anxiety, unlock creativity and create a state flow in life. “The intuitive mind (higher mind) is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” - Einstein Tune in to learn about how Ayahuasca can help you to find your path and follow your dreams. Remember, you are the healer and love is the medicine.
