Preparing for Ceremony

Tonight is ceremony when I go down on the mat. I've got 8 hours. Today is just about relaxing, being, hydrating. I stretched, I walked, I sat in the sun and listened to Matt talk about love of self, doing what is best for yourself, and the essence of Bwiti which is the art of knowing, the art of living, taking the medicine and talking about life. We went through my written intentions for my sessions. I'm hydrating because I won't be eating after 4pm and hardly drinking, perhaps vomiting for the night and all day tomorrow. I may go 36-48 hours without sleep. Through the night I won't be able to walk by myself. In the morning they will put me in my bed and I'll spend the day continuing my trip in a less intense manner. I'm ready.

There will be two ceremonies. This first one is usually more about purifying, getting rid of old toxic stuff- programming from childhood, deep wounds, wrong beliefs and assumptions... the next ceremony in a few days will be more intentional about getting answers to my questions.

Gonna go grab another water bottle and find a place to hang my hammock.Read more
