This will be a private experience where I will share teachings on creating a sacred ceremonial space. You will receive a Limpia (shamanic cleanse and blessing) with the use of nature elements such as earth, air, fire, water and under the guidance of the surrounding mountain spirits as is customary in Peruvian shamanic cosmology. We will create sacred space by cleansing our energetic/auric fields with copal, palo santo, or sage. I will teach about different smoke medicines and which minerals or plants to use for which intentions or purposes. We will learn why and how to Call in the Directions. (Calling in the Directions honors the land and lineage where we are from and where we are at present). I will offer a grounding meditation to prepare you for the Limpia and you will then relax and enjoy the experience of receiving a Limpia. A Limpia assists to balance and align your body, mind and spirit, dissolves unconscious blocks, upgrades consciousness to higher light frequencies, and supports your path to your most desirable life trajectory. A Limpia can cleanse and uplift your energetic field and bring a sense of ease, rejuvenation, sovereignty, and clarity. It is known to assist with emotional imbalances, loss of identity, addictions, anger, phobias, and fears. *Please check out my profile to see my other offerings* *Please reach out for alternative days available.*
