2020: Year of the Heroic Dose

1/16/2021

WOW, What A Year!!! I always say that the journey with Psilocybin makes us face everything that we walk around fearing and trying our best to avoid on a daily basis. I feel 2020 was a major “heroic dose” for all of us. Making us raw, vulnerable, open and my personal favorite, humble. While in this journey, there was also a huge synergy that took place within the collective. Fear, uncertainty, isolation, loss of money, loss of control and for many, the transition of our loved ones. We all experienced so many emotions together. No matter where we all were and are in the world. Experiences like that of high dose psilocybin that changes us. Changes us for the better and shifting our paradigms in ways that we can never go back to the way we were before. Bittersweet. For many of us who use Psilocybin as a Spiritual Practice and a tool of self empowerment and accountability(on a consistent basis), we understand that all of these feelings, sensations and cycles along with the medicine help us to better navigate this human experience we are having as spiritual beings. I feel that the regular use of magic mushrooms helps to condition us and prepare us for all that this life has to offer us. From bliss, joy, happiness, unconditional love, cosmic orgasmic energies all the way to the opposite spectrum of those feelings. We are here to experience them ALL without judgement. Assisting us in becoming the Grandest versions of ourselves that we came here to Be. Constantly being the Self-Initiate.

During what appeared to be such a horrific time many also gave birth to new ideas, creations and ways of being. Lots of babies were created. Time off that many had been both desperately seeking and avoiding were granted. Many were able to set new goals and simply observe what is, what isn’t and plan/execute accordingly. It lifted our distractions and put us face to face with self, our illusions and our personal and collective missions. Just like ceremony. Many received exactly what they had been asking for. I think that it so Wonderful. However, we are a society that loves to ask for things but are almost hardly ever ready to receive or go through what it takes to achieve a desired outcome.

Baba Kilindi was the first person to call me while I was here in Jamaica. He asked me how we were doing and how was the overall climate here due to covid. He asked about my Mother and if she had everything she needed due to the stores not being stocked with food and other essentials. I assured him that we were fine and that covid was some bull%&#@. In the following weeks I found myself in thee most beautiful, pure place in the world. Bathing in a river daily and in a constant state of Awe. Sleeping in a tent that I brought to Jamaica, A perfect little tent that Baba bought for us in the States. Often wondering what did I do to get to enjoy such amazing and breathtaking experiences while the world was in such an unstable space. The plandemic was happening but I was safe, protected, almost Divinely distracted and focused on the beauty and provisions of Mother Nature. It was then that I also learned that Baba wasn’t feeling so well and that the virus wasn't BS. Never ever would I have thought in a million years that Baba would shape-shift. I don’t think anyone would have thought it. My ego still often has me in a state of disbelief. Those of us who have had the honor of knowing Kilindi, his works and teachings know that he has been preparing us for a time such as this. He has also been preparing us for what we call “death”, traveling and navigating the Multiverse. What a Master Teacher he IS and always will be. Thank you so so much Baba.

I am so grateful for 2020, my personal practice with Psilocybin and the Honor of working with Kilindi and having both a personal and business relationship with such a Dynamic Super Human. Thank you all for the outpour of love, kind words, spiritual and financial support during this time. It truly means the world to me.

I am sending love, comfort, clarity and healing to everyone who is or has been experiencing illness, sadness or grief during this time.

To my fellow psychedelic enthusiasts, please continue to lean into your personal spiritual practices and self care rituals with psilocybin, your cultivation and move forward authentically, righteously and unapologetically with your soul's mission. We have been gifted The Food of the Gods. Let’s govern ourselves accordingly. Happy New Year(s)!

Psilocybin & Self Storage

1/20/2020

1 Comment

Have you all noticed the amount of self-storage facilities popping up on almost every corner? I have recently began to notice a rise in the amount of land, and the little bit of foilage we have left in our cities being massively stripped away to make room for peoples "stuff". From furniture, antiques, clothes, books, to photos, tools, childhood memories, and family heirlooms. They have different size units available by the square footage based on the amount of stuff you have. They can come with security, 24 hour access, packing supplies and a moving truck to assist in you being able to safely and securely transport and store your "stuff". At some point in our lives we all have had the need to store some of our stuff away, even if only for a little while. Be it a self-storage unit, closet or a friend or family members basement or garage. Unfortunately what was intended to be a temporary solution to a temporary problem or transition, turned from weeks and months into years. Oftentimes costing hundreds even thousands of dollars. Some lose their belongings due to various unforeseen circumstances. Some are even able to benefit from that which you forgot you even possessed. Others at some point have to take time out of their hectic lifestyles and schedules to "unpack", physically, emotionally and spiritually.

This conscious awareness in the self-storage phenomenom is truly an outwardly, Earthly reflection of the subconscious self-storage units that we as humans carry around with us day to day. Through jobs, relationships, seasons and cycles, "stuff" is constantly being added to the subconscious self storage units in our minds, body and souls. Fortunately we have Sacred Plant Medicines like Psilocybin Mushrooms that allow us access to the doors, gates and windows of our subconscious minds, where we can take approximately 6 hours out of our night, in total darkness and roll up our sleeves and go through much, but not necessarily all of our "stuff".

Once inside this portal we can begin to unpack and sort through much of what is no longer useful, needed or valuable. Grief, sadness, traumas, disappointment, heartbreak, abuse are stored there and it is up to us as individuals to go through our stuff little by little and begin to eliminate that which has become obsolete. During this process you will also find old tattered boxes, bags and totes where you have stashed your laughter, joy, smiles, inspiration along with spiritual gifts and the many riches of your authentic self. Healthy tools of self-expression that you’ve hidden and locked away out of fear, in an attempt to keep them protected and safe.

Setting aside this sacred time in ceremony with Psilocybin Mushrooms on an as needed basis and preparing yourself accordingly is a routine I feel most of us should adopt as spiritual beings having a human experience in order to stay "light". Not light as in the opposite of darkness, but light as the contrast to heavy. Going through your stuff is a very personal and intimate thing as you have accumulated years of what is considered good, bad and ugly.

Through accountability and righteous intentions one should be prepared for the various emotions that tend to arise when we are face to face with our past experiences and attachments that we have gathered along our paths in an attempt to deal with them later at a more convenient time. In these spaces of Spiritual Cleansing, release and reorganizing from a healthy, current, balanced perspective we gain clarity, renewed vision, humility, space and LIGHT.

Psilocybin: Black Men, Magic & Medicine

12/5/2019

Dear Brothers,
Thank you for doing this powerful, sacred, inner healing work. We need you. We value and appreciate you. Yes, this journey with healing and releasing through Psilocybin mushrooms may be new to you and yes, there are levels to it. Keep up the great work! Facing those inner truths, expanding beyond the ego, taking responsibility for your emotional, spiritual and mental health. Thank You! Know that you are Divinely and Universally loved, protected and supported through your journeys of self-love, healing, continued growth and Evolution. This is especially true when operating from your Highest Self inside and out of ceremony. Keep healing, confronting and breaking generational curses. You are a Living Legacy! For those of you who have yet to take this journey, you did not find this article by mistake. The healings, cleansing and clarity you seek not only exist, they await you. Even that to which you are unaware. Seek Spirit. Take care of yourself. Be patient. Use discernment. Seek Divine Counsel. Trust the processes. Healers are in place to assist you.

I am truly grateful for the Black Men who are using as well as seeking Psilocybin Mushrooms as a Spiritual tool to heal and address many of the things that they deal with on mental, physical, spiritual and emotional levels. As it relates to their manhood, sovereignty, childhood, traumas, sexuality, family, Power and presence. All the feels that come along with being an Ascendant of Africa in the United States of America and Abroad. From fertile, lush, flourishing Kingdoms and landscapes, Ancient Dynasties and Sacred Temples, to genocide and enslavement/imprisonment past and present. To losing their greatest allies, their black women and children, their connection to Mother Earth, their Ancestors and their God (selves).

Brothers are now Rebirthing, Resurrecting and Re-Membering themselves through the use of Psilocybin and other Sacred Plant Medicines known as Entheogens (generating the God or Divine within). Restoring and Reclaiming their Magic and Mojo. Men are stepping up to take accountability for their own healing. Doing the necessary deep shadow/light work necessary to heal, release and process years even (bloodlines/lifetimes) of programming, anger, fear, violence, depression, grief and trauma. Spiritual Brutality. The stories and memories are in the blood, and are housed within ones DNA, cellular memory via the tissue, muscles, organs and even the hairs that make up and store information and experiences within the human body. Issues and dis-ease that reflect themselves in the hearts, guts, prostates and minds of so many of our boys and Men.

Through the use of Psilocybin Therapy coupled with consistent holistic healing practices/routines, proper preparation, education, support and integration, Men are beginning the deeper, effective processes of shedding and healing. Alone, with partners/support or in group settings in Nature, the weight and the veil are being lifted. Through intentions, altered states of consciousness along with the effects of the Medicine, there is an alignment and divine alchemy that begins to take place. Divine purification and release through crying, laughter, dance/song, as well as through intentional breathing and simply being present with whatever comes up in forms of visions, up/downloads, release and self-expression. Psilocybin is known to activate ones Pineal Gland where ones Akashic Records are housed through the activation of DMT or dimethyltryptamine. This in turns awakens the blood and other systems within and around the body. Brothers are also cleaning up their diets, getting more Sunlight and Nature, booking massages, partaking in sacred self-care baths and rituals, seeking Wisdom and care from the Divine Feminine to spark, get introduced and or reacquainted with their Divine Masculine (and Feminine) selves. Exposing themselves to higher frequencies and vibrations that produce a better or optimal quality of life. Becoming more intentional and purposeful with their Power(s) and Presence and taking their proper places in their homes and communities as sovereign builders, herbalist, healers, teachers, protectors and providers. Creators and Magicians. Choosing Joy. Choosing the path of the Divine. In order to embody and reflect that back out into the world there is a Divine Awakening and surrender of ego and control that has to take place through the process of Death and Rebirth. With that there has to be a level of trust, safety, vulnerability and accountability. First within oneself.

One of my favorite sayings is, "The male ego is a hell of a drug". A drug that I feel is being heavily used and pushed in this day and age. A drug that I feel stifles and distracts the true, pure, raw essence and expression of the Authentic, Divine Masculine. Social media, patriarchy, the oppression of the Black Woman and the illusion of "white supremacy" are just some of the factors that feed narcissistic entities, self-hatred, imbalance, distraction, addiction and the illusion of inferiority that plagues many in our communities and relationships. An ego with resulting views, thoughts, teachings and actions that mirror that of the "oppressor". Psilocybin has been known to access and open communication within ones egoic mind for purposes of clarity, self-evaluation as well as multi-generational and multi-dimensional awareness.

As a Medicine Woman, what I often refer to as an Initiation of Self or Rites of Passage through Sacred Plant Healers/Teachers is a missing component in our communities that was designed to activate and ensure the transformation of that of a boy to a Man (or girl to a woman). Sacred Rites that came with great honor, celebration, respect, sacrifice and responsibility to oneself, family (including the unborn), craft, the(ir) land, Ancestors, Elders, and the Gods from an early age. Even as a tool of Human survival among others, animals, elements, disease, etc. Mushrooms are also known as "The Food of the Gods" In the 21st Century we now have information, knowledge and access to this ancient organic technology used by our ancestors and designed by our oldest ancestors, the planets and the elements. Ancient technology that predates humans, laws, religion and the English language that many are bound, confined and heavily indoctrinated within.

As the Entheogenic Midwife I provide a healing, sacred, safe, loving container for both Divine Masculine & Feminine (Balance) Shedding/Death, Rebirth and Resurrection through Holistic Healing rituals coupled with Psilocybin Mushrooms. This work is so Powerful and Humbling as it supernaturally heals, open/closes portals and shifts paradigms when allowed to. Even as a tool of Spiritual Cleansing, Maintenance and Self Exploration. I work with and know some Amazing and Powerful Men. I witness and hear stories of what this work is doing for them, their families, their Health and their overall self awareness and self confidence. There is amazing potential with this work as it allows Men to address and process issues that they very rarely if ever discuss all while being supported, nurtured, accountable and being accounted for. Substance abuse, sexual abuse, divorce, imprisonment, post-traumatic stress, mental, spiritual/sexual and emotional health. Abandonment, abortion, even pornography addiction. And in addition to that being able to remember/find, create solutions and execute them which is equally important. Activating their Magic and Spiritual Gifts. This is beyond the egoic constructs and illusions of the :conscious community: and into the subconscious mind, Universal connectedness, reflection and communication with Source Energy, Power & Magic.

Full Moon Ritual & Retreat

12/5/2017

1 Comment

As a Healer, who often holds sacred space for others (selflessly), it is so very important that I (we) take the time to nurture, love and pour into Self. As well as be poured into, onto. Away from our children, our mates, away from an over stimulating society that induces stress, fear, and low level energies (the D word so many identify with). To go to simply connect, to BE. To clear. To recharge and deprogram. To remember our natural state of peace, harmony and love. To be replenished. For retreat and ritual.

Yesteday I emerged from a Powerful weekend of healing, relaxation, and Full Moon Rituals in the Atlantic Ocean in Florida. I received an abundance of warm kisses from our Sun. From the Crown of my head to the soles of me feet. I surrendered to the ocean and allowed her to cleanse, anoint and purify me. She even gave me a gift of cowrie. Humbly blessed by the light and powers of Mother Moon. She bestows her divine feminine wisdom upon me and blessed my hands, cupped and cleansed with the holy wata that contains the blood and DNA memory of my ancestors. She touched my womb. I listened as the wind spoke to me from lands far and wide. I spoke affirmations, I laid burdens down, I declared things. I even petitioned on behalf of women I know. For their wombs and homes to be filled with the pitter patter of tiny, sweet feet. Their breasts abundant with milk. I enjoyed friends, exotic animals, hearty laughter and the rich, tantalizing herbs and spices of authentic Indian cuisine. I even exfoliated my melanated skin with sand and created a magical Yoni with my hands and from sea shells that lay adorning the shore.

Being a healer doesn’t change with trends. It is a way of being. Those of us who use our hands and hearts to heal, those of us who stand at the gates of life and death, who cultivate the soil and prepare sacred foods, medicines and elixirs. The Alchemists. We have a certain responsibility. What is our responsibility you ask? To be our authentic selves. To heal self and do our inner and outer works. To do what it is we are asking of others. To take our own advice and counsel. To listening to our intuition. To address our egoic selves. To say No! To forgive. To let go when it’s time to let go. To keep our vibrations high by any means necessary. And most importantly to be a positive, clear vessel of light, wisdom and divine, healing energy to all we encounter on our paths.

Happy Full Moon Blessings!

ReBirth Day!

7/4/2017

3 Comments

3 years ago today I embarked on a spiritual journey. The first of many of what I like to call a self-initiation or journey into myself. Into my womb, my blood, my heart. Into the darkness of my subconscious mind. In my search to become greater and to further develop and enhance my spiritual gifts, I was introduced to the sacred psilocybin mushroom. I never would have thought because of this work these past few years I would be sharing my experiences on a public platform, let alone in another entire Country. But here I am writing this blog after a packed house on tonight for the Feminine Entheogenic Mysteries and an astounding response over the weekend at this year’s Breaking Convention at the University of Greenwich in London, England. A conference where men, women and organizations from all over the world come to share their knowledge, wisdom, experience, scientific/experimental testing and expertise as it pertains to Psychedelics or Entheogens. There were over a thousand in attendance and we represented the Pan-African sector of the conference. Discussing topics such as Entheogenesis, Psilocybin and the Modern Day Witch, Ancient Kemet, Menstrual Blood, Pregnancy and even epigenetic impressions. Presenters from our group also represented on the diversity panel. Not just for people of color, but women of color as well. This visit also included visiting ancient sacred sites as well as viewing artifacts and mummies from thousands of years ago. JUST like the places we visit when we sit in ceremony, right? I even had bloody english tea. I trust in this sacred ancient “sacrament” and its ability to transform individuals and families, shifting paradigms. Healing depression, addictions, anxiety, fear. traumas. All while expanding and evolving the consciousness of the collective. Not only do I have countless testimonies of my own to share, others share personal and profound stories of their rebirth(s) and transformations. Some of these amazing stories I wouldn’t believe myself, if I hadn’t seen it with my own three eyes.
Happy ReBirth Day to ME!

Pussy on The Throne

12/27/2016

6 Comments

Pussy. Vagina. Yoni. Womb. Flower. Sacred Portal. Gateway. All words used to describe our Sacred Center of Creation. I actually used to DESPISE thee word “Pussy”. I thought it was so vulgar, harsh and insensitive. Geesh, why out of all words would anyone want to call her, it, she…Pussy? Put some “Respeck” on it, right?
Well, since tapping into my Goddess Super Powers, losing my attachment to words, and my Orgasms currently being at an all-time high, I have a new found love and admiration for my Pussy. I am Empowered (giggles).

About once a month, or so I indulge in the sacred purification ritual of Yoni Steaming. Usually prior to or following my Blood. I choose and pick fresh and dried herbs, flowers, crystals, etc., blend and prepare them with my intentions, boil them (not too hot), and sit atop them (yoni pot, yoni Throne, stool, modified chair, etc.) as the steam enters to heal, tone, cleanse/detox and refine my vagina and pelvic floor as well as my Mind & Spirit. During this time I use proper breathing techniques, anointing, meditation, chanting, visualization techniques, as well as massage to my breasts and womb. I also recite positive affirmations over myself. Herbal Tea or infused water can also be consumed during this time as a part of your ritual.

This practice has been and still is practiced throughout the world by various cultures.
Some nights ago during the Winter Solstice which is the longest day of darkness and the shortest day of light, I decided to put my Pussy on the Throne. I felt it was the perfect time to tap into, activate and raise the frequency of my Sacred Black Hole. Especially since my Ancestors, fellow Priestesses, Good Witches and Hood Witches honor this Holy Day worldwide as well. Casting down Healing, Blessings, Life, Prosperity and Manifestations.
As a Woman, Mother, Goddess, Birth worker and Medicine Woman, I recommend Yoni Steaming/Purification as a vital addition to your self-care and self-love rituals. Promoting, healing, clarity, harmony, fertility, rejuvenation, wellness and Divine Love.

Men In Menstruation - 7 Ways Men Can Honor the Menstruating Woman

11/6/2016

4 Comments

One week ago today I was preparing for my speech at the Detroit Psychedelic Conference. My topic was Sacred Blood and Entheogens. Nervously, It would be my first time not only speaking at a conference, but also sitting on a panel and sharing my intimate, sacred works, thoughts and experiences in a room full of peers, cameras, and “strangers” from around the United States. I covered topics ranging from Menarche (first blood) to Menopause ceremonies, to Psilocybin Mushrooms for menstruation, couples, fertility, pregnancy and childbirth. I also spoke on the Power of the Placenta. Upon completing my speech the floor was then opened up for questions. Questions, comments as well as laughter came from left and right and from the upper levels to the lower. However, one gentleman’s question (visiting from Colorado), stood out to me the most. His question was “what can us Men do to assist a Woman when she is menstruating”? Excellent question. This question was the inspiration for this Blog. Thanks Guy!

So, here are 7 ways Men can Honor the Menstruating Woman…

Chores: In some cases, women are the ones (wo)managing the majority of household duties. Grocery shopping, preparing meals, laundry, cleaning, caring and often times refereeing the children. All while menstruating. During this time Men can help lighten the load by taking on these duties during Her moontime. It’s also a good idea to get the children to assist you. It can be a ritual for you and the children during Mommy’s special time.
Prepare Sacred Space: During a Woman’s moon time she is highly receptive and intuitive and should be in a mode of self care/self love. Men can assist by providing a clean and quiet home. Preparing bathwater complete with candles, water, herbal tea, fresh fruit, fresh towels, a gown or any of her favorite things shows that you honor this sacred time. Find activities away from the home to do with the children.
Touch: Some women experience pain or other discomforts during that “time of the month”. Some simply appreciate strong, nurturing touch. After her bath or shower, have therapeutic massage oils and healing intentions ready when she emerges. Massage to the womb, lower back, hips, feet and scalp work wonders for the menstruating woman. If she’s not up for it, don’t sweat it. Sometimes we are highly sensitive and chose not to be touched. (Especially if we know you really don’t want to do it. Yes, we can tell).That’s ok, you’ll have plenty opportunities to try, try again. Communication is Key!
Food Preparation: Prepare healthy meals and snacks that nourish the mind, body and spirit. Raw, fresh, high vibrational foods, smoothies and herbal teas are ideal. Healing thoughts and vibrations should always be in mind and spirit when handling foods and beverages, even water. Do your research. Especially if she has any health or womb issues. Happy and Healthy foods contribute to a happy, healthy period, period!
Rituals: A woman is in her natural Shamanic state during her sacred blood. And for those of us who take part in rituals, due to our Powers being amplified, Men partaking in rituals with her is an excellent way for you to harness the Power of the Divine Feminine as well. Sacred Sex, anointing, offerings, create art, indulge in sacred elixirs, meditation, reiki, and consuming psilocybin mushrooms are suggestions. Rituals are sacred and exclusive to the two of you. Be open & receptive. Note: Consuming bodily fluids for those that choose to, should always be done with discernment and the highest good of the collective.
Offerings: Gifts are a wonderful way to show your love, appreciation and support for the Blood Woman (or Girl) in your life. A trip to the Spa, flowers, lingerie, jewelry, handmade cards or handwritten notes/letters are sure to make her feel like the amazingly, PowerFull Wombman that she truly is. Sometimes we need to be reminded. Especially to acknowledge as well as empower a young woman in her first blood.
Listen & Observe: Pay attention to the subtle changes that a woman experiences prior to, during and following her blood. The type of foods she eats, her temperament, her words, her psychic premonitions, her concerns. Even the phase of the moon. All will give you deeper insight and awareness into her mind, her womb and the state of your relationship and family unit as a whole. Please do this with love and without judgement or fear. Learn the Art of Selflessness. The last thing we wanna hear is “Uh Oh” or “you must be about to come on your period”. Be sensitive and put your male ego in check. It’ll make for an easier, more effective ebb and “flow”.

I’m glad that more Men are embracing our sacred life giving substance, and looking for positive ways to fully embrace the Divine Feminine in order to be their best, authentic Divine Masculine selves.

Breath Of Life

Happy 3rd Earthday Ryann.

Two days ago I held sacred space as a beautiful newborn Sun took his first Breath of Life. As his head crowned and he entered this earthly realm through his Mother's Divine Portal (dimples and all), I stood in awe at life's most Phenomenal miracle. The miracle of Childbirth. During my 11 years as a Massage Therapist I've served women in both their prenatal and postpartum phases of their pregnancies. In these years I never would've imagined I would hold the sacred honor of standing at the gates where life enters this planet through the womb of Woman. It didn't take long for me to recognize that this is a Gift that has been bestowed upon me by my Ancestors. Today I am reminded of my third year to the date as a Doula. I remember my first birth of a sweet baby girl like it were yesterday. I am blessed to be a part of the first air these precious little ones breathe. I am grateful to be one of the first set of eyes they see. One of the first voices they hear. I am honored to be a part of the spiritual entourage that welcome these souls to Earth from the spirit realm in Divine Love & Light. A Love and Light that I know will remain with us through this lifetime and beyond. Whether its a woman giving birth to her first or third child or a baby's first suckle of his Mommy's liquid gold I stand in gratitude for these blessed gifts of both Breath and Life.

My Bath Is A River

3/12/2016

0 Comments

Since a teenager, I have always had a “thing” for bathing and being near bodies of water. Water has always been a source of Peace and Relaxation. One of the many places on this Earth that I commune with God(dess) which is a Divine reflection of Me. I am Water. Being a Piscean woman, born on the cusp with Aquarius, I can honestly say that I represent all things water. Nurturing, nourishing, spiritual, refreshing, free, flowing, vast, powerful, and deep (be careful, don’t drown). Abundant!. It is through water (and blood) that a Mother is able to embrace her newborn child from the spirit realm into this earthly realm.
As a 35 year old Goddess, Mother and Healer, I bathe RITUALLY. At least 2-3 times per week. I’ve found water to be a source of healing and divine restoration. Divination. And that it brings forth clarity, cleansing, wisdom and rebirth. Innerstanding. Along my journey I have also acquired the knowledge of herbs, crystals, flowers, and oils. As well as the ritual use of water from my ancestors, medicine women and foremothers that have come before me and communicate with me through water and my Blood. I bathe before births. I bathe before cultivating sacred plant medicine. I bathe during my sacred blood cycles and various phases of the Moon. I bathe before and sometimes during spiritual work. I bathe for grief and clarity during life’s many cycles and transitions. I bathe during Equinoxes and Solstices to be in alignment with the Earth and the Cosmos. I bathe for self love. I bathe whenever Spirit guides me to bathe.
With the knowledge and wisdom that I’ve obtained intuitively from my ancestors, from Elders and my Sisters and independent studies, bathing has become a very Powerful tool in my life. Anyone who knows me, knows my two favorite questions are, “Are you drinking enough water” and “when was the last time you took a bath”? Because both are truly important to our physical, mental and spiritual well being. It is of utmost importance that we cleanse away any and everything thing that diminishes our LIGHT. I highly recommend spiritual bathing to my clients prior to receiving massage therapy, ear candling or other bodywork.
Now, the difference in regular bathing and spiritual bathing is that one is used for basic washing/hygiene and the other is used with more purpose and intention and used to assist in achieving a specific or desired result and may call for specific ingredients or a recipe. Spiritual bathing (preceded by regular washing of the body and hair) also consists of speaking, asking or commanding your needs into and over your water. Submerging your full body (head included) into your water and includes meditation. prayer, affirmations, breathing/visualization exercises, massage and other techniques for releasing that which no longer serves your Highest good. And is usually followed by anointing of the head and body and REST.
My bath water often contains everything from salts, clays, essential oils, and flowers to crystals, herbs, seeds, fruit, soil, ocean/river water, roots, champagne and even honey (Oshun). Even water that I’ve allowed to bathe in the light of the Sun or Moon. I have created herbal blends for you to be able to enjoy and receive the many benefits of bathing in the comfort of your own home. These blends are also perfect for ceremonial cleansing and bathing rituals, blessing a pregnant or new mommy, foot washing, head washing, steaming your sacred womb center. Cleansing/washing the deceased to anyone dealing with grief or the loss of a loved one. Even preparing yourself and your partner for the sacred art of lovemaking. I am grateful to be able to share this sacred, earth medicine and wisdom with you.

Massage Therapy - Ritual of Self Love

1/16/2016

0 Comments

Sacred. Ceremonial. Rite. Worship. Routine. Massage Therapy is Holistic healing. Holy. Meaning that it not only serves the body, but the mind and spirit as well. Massage Therapy along with other healing modalities should be held to one’s highest regard and considered a priority when it comes to your self care/love regimen. Love is the highest frequency. When considering or booking a Massage Therapy session with Sweet Serenity Pampering Co., receiving Ear Candling or purchasing any of our products, I would like you to ask yourself questions and be clear of your intentions. Is this for pain relief, relaxation, clarity? Do I need assistance in releasing trauma or grieving a loss of a loved one? Or do I simply want to experience the healing, transformative Powers of touch? These questions and others answers will assist you in receiving the desired outcome from your session(s). Here are a few things you can do prior to, following and or during your session.

Journal - Journaling helps you to express what your inner thoughts, needs and desires are. In my humble opinion, one of the best forms of communication is nonverbal communication and emanates from within oneself. Journaling is suggested prior to and or following a session.

Bathing – Water. One of the most powerful, healing, nourishing elements on this planet. Bathing is a lost art (ritual practice) that relaxes, cleanses, detoxifies and prepares the body and mind for the healing work that you are about to receive. As a Healer and Birth worker, I often prepare for clients or welcoming new life by way of ritual bathing. You can add herbs, salts, flowers, crystals, honey, etc. to compliment your bath as well as recite positive affirmations over yourself and into the water.

Breathing – Breath is Life. During your massage you will be in a deep relaxing, meditative state. Deep purposeful breathing not only releases stress and tension from the body, it also detoxifies and provides oxygen to your cells, muscles, blood and organs in and of the body. Use this time to do visualization exercises or to recite affirmations. Either verbal or nonverbal. Release. Let it Go! Breathe. Slowly inhale through your nose and slowly exhale through your mouth. Breathe. Breathe each breath as if it were your last breath.

Rest – Most people come to me for rest due to their hectic lives and busy schedules. Rest during your session. This is a time to lay your burdens down. Keep talking to a minimum. Rest following your session is vital as well. When you sleep/rest your body begins the process of healing and restoring itself. Whether returning to your bed, getting out in nature or any other place of tranquility, take the time to just BE. No television or cells phones. Take this perfect time to continue receiving the benefits of the aromatherapy and the work that your divine temple has just been blessed with. This is also a great time for personal reflection, counting your many blessings and preparing for the many blessings that are to come. Give Thanks!
