Reading #spiritcards for my fellow comrades on the Retreat today. After looking up the #wolf from my dream, others were curious. I personally connect well to #animalspirit decks more than say #tarot or other decks. Whichever deck you read from there needs to be some kind of connection, because the skill of the reader is in translating the cards for the individual, understanding them and reading their subtle messages. . . My fellow Retreat colleagues have also been visited my... animals. Each, like an #omen offering guiding information and / or energetic attributes. . . Animals included a ๐ and a ๐ธ , then more cards were drawn from the deck and everyone, Iโm pleased to say, deeply resonated with my card reading for them. . . I use these readings from time to time like a compass, pointing me in the right direction, and offering clarity to situations and direction. . . . Get in touch if youโd like to know more. Workshops or readings etc. I learnt this skill 10 years ago at my training school: The School of Insight & Intuition. . . *Iโm currently travelling around Peru ๐ต๐ช on a Spiritual Healing quest ๐ *follow for future updates. .

#dreams are teachers. Last night I had a #spiritanimal appear to me. ๐บ . . Iโve been keeping a dream diary. Itโs really important to help understand messages being passed on through the subconscious. This is one of the ways plant medicine works through us. Last night I had a dream about a #wolfspirit it was beautiful. It was very vivid. Everything was clear, black and there was a beautiful spirit wolf calmly looking at me and I at it. As if it was just letting me know it was... there. It had blue fur that twisted like smoke, gently swirling around itโs still frame. It had a slightly flattened face, unlike modern day wolves, there was something ancient about it. . . The wolf is know as a teacher of medicine. Reading the animal spirit card today was this message: โWolf would not come to you unless you requested the appearance of the tribeโs greatest teacherโ. . . Itโs also interesting to note that the wolf was blue and the type of #ayahuasca on my Retreat is known as the Sky blue (Cielo) type. . . I have been nervous about my first ceremony tonight and the wolf has helped me to feel protected. I feel that this is Ayahuasca taking form to let me know I will be alright. . . Today is a day of intention setting and this evening is our first ceremony. Wish me luck! . . *Iโm currently travelling around Peru ๐ต๐ช on a Spiritual Healing quest ๐ *follow for future updates. .

My #jungle home. This is my tambo where Iโll be spending the next two weeks on my #ayahuasca #plantmedicine #retreat @rainforesthealingcenter . . Such a magical little hut right in the middle of the jungle. Jungle sounds, ๐ฆ yes, like that blue one, and life abounding all around. .... . After our long sweaty walk in the jungle humidity, my initial reaction at my new sanctuary was get naked! Finally feeling like a freed primate. I felt liberated, vulnerable and confused all at the same time. This being such an alien environment to me, and yet feeling so natural at the same time. A thought hit me... โIโm a monkey set free from London Zoo!โ ๐ . . When do you feel in your natural state?

Venturing into the jungle on day one of my #Ayahuasca #plantmedicine #retreat The Centre is deep in the jungle so thereโs a hefty #trek in to get there. . . At the end of the #trek we were met by our two Shipibo #Shaman where we were welcomed into the centre ๐ด๐๐บ๐ ๐บ๐๐ด and cleansed with #mapacho (sacred tobacco), prayers, #paulosantos (a cleansing and protective spiritual tree burnt as incense) and #aguaflorida (a cologne the shamans here use for protection and cleansing).

As you quieten your mind, you begin to see the different components of your being and which ones are out of harmony. . . It often feels uncomfortable at first. Having come from a time of stress and anxiety I was struggling with just 10mins of sustained practice. Now I could comfortable sit for an hour. The other side of this is not to let the ego get too involved in numbers. Itโs not always about how long you sit for, rather the quality of your attention. Get the quality ther...e and the time will become like water. Force yourself into it and time will feel like a heavy burden. Getting to a place where you enjoy the sensation of #meditation is a beautiful tool to have. It just takes practice and being kind to yourself. . . *Iโm currently travelling around Peru ๐ต๐ช on a Spiritual Healing quest ๐ *follow for future updates. .

#glowing #peaceofmind -> 5 sessions later this is the result. . . Yes I still feel #anxiety that has built over the years, but my mind is starting to clear and my body is #relaxing .... . Me and Julieta at her Healing studio. After the initial massage I signed up for a set of 4 #reiki sessions over consecutive days. A real blast to the system. The aim was to clear my energetic system as much as possible before my Retreat. Allowing for #profound healing. This was an adventure and not something Iโd recommend during a working week! You need a lot of time to sleep and process. However if you can book some time off and want to deeply #clense and are ready to feel the consequences of that. i.e #putintheworkgettheresults and be ready for an intense physical and emotional #detox then go for it. (I normally donโt offer this format to clients as I find even just two healings in a week can cause a healing crisis.) . . #bodywork preparing for my #plantmedicine retreat. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ . . . . .

Another delightfully #bland meal. ๐ Trying to make the most of my last cooked meal in a while with two days of travelling ahead of me. ๐ ๐จ โ๏ธ . . #glutenfree rice and quinoa pasta. I highly recommend it! I found it @waitrose and brought it all the way here.

#remedy for an upset tummy ๐ฃ. Eating too many heavy, cooked, bland foods and odd #foodcombining confused on this #dieta . . I was mid-way through my #energyhealing sessions.

#bodywork preparing for my #plantmedicine retreat. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ . . Itโs not just about diet. There are many way to calm and focus the mind. The emotional mind is held in the body. .... . I found the local #energyhealer / #shaman in town and booked myself a Healing #massage . . As I often hear from clients, going in I though I felt pretty โfineโ. It turned out I was chronically tight in my neck, upper back and pelvis. A result of mental / emotional #stress over a period of time.

The Amazon, #peru ๐ Itโs been calling me. For the past five years, since my month long stint of Monasteries, Nunneries and #vipassina ๐ in the #himalayas of Nepal ๐ณ๐ต Iโve felt called here. . . Knowing that the earths spiritual energetic hub has been moving from itโs previous home in the Himalayas to the Amazonian jungles, this all makes sense. .... . The time has only now felt right. Suddenly called to action I booked my tickets and hurriedly made plans. This didnโt feel like the easy or the comfortable thing to do, but itโs what my #intuition has been yelling in my ear. โNow is the time!โ๐ . . Two weeks in Iโm preparing myself for my #plantmedicine retreat with the mother vine #ayahuasca the light Healer of the Amazon. . . This is no small undertaking and the medicine is to be given the utmost respect. The preparatory #dieta is strict and consists of more than just the food you eat.

Womenโs circle with @fullyrawkristina this was such a powerful connection and release. It was my honour to get to know all you beautiful souls on a deeper level. ๐ข๐๐ #namaste . . @fullyrawkristina thank you for this deep soul work. You are such a beautiful spirit. .... . Itโs amazing how we all assume weโre the only one with all the issues and everyone else seems just fine! People put on a brave face. Youโd be surprised how much really heavy shit people are carrying with them. Be kind to others, you donโt know what theyโre going through. . . Form a tribe with your fellow women or men. There is something incredibly powerful and liberating being in a private single sex group. It brings us back to our tribal routes and nurtures a sense of community out of thin air. . . We all need a time to speak and to feel heard. We donโt always need to hear opinions back, just being listened to with an open heart can be hugely healing. ๐ . .
