Indigenous people and shamanic traditions have long known the cleansing and therapeutic power of incense and smudging with our magico-medicinal plant allies, and now Western science is catching up on the benefits too ❤️

No longer simply a "New Age" example of magical thinking, burning sage clears the air bacteriologically as well as spiritually.

A despacho is a prayer bundle or offering. For hundreds of years, the Laika (high shamans or wisdomkeepers of the Q’ero lineage of Peru) have used the despacho ceremony for a wide variety of occasions – births, deaths, as an expression of gratitude, to heal physical and emotional ailments, to restore balance and harmony, or when there is a specific request of the spirit world.

Similar to a mandala or sacred creation, the despacho holds symbolic elements and the prayers of the participants. As the elements are added to the despacho, the vibration of the participants and the room raises. The despacho becomes a living prayer that brings energy shifts and healing.

The ceremony can be as simple and short, or intricate and lengthy as desired. As with any ritual, the despacho begins by opening sacred space. Then the offerings are selected one by one, a prayer is said over each, and the prayer is gently blown into the offering before it is placed on the wrapping. The offerings can be arranged however feels right.

Humility and gratitude and an open heart are important throughout the ceremony, and will ensure that you experience more grace in your life by becoming a better vessel for grace.

Once completed, the despacho is carefully wrapped and secured with a ribbon or string. The bundle can be ceremonially buried (for slow, steady results), burned (for quicker transformation) or fed to running waters, thus conveying the gifts to Spirit.

How Scalar Wave Physics Validates Ancient Crystal Wisdom

"Many entities assume the role of spirit guide. Throughout our lives, we may call upon angels, animal and nature spirits, ascended masters, and celestial guardians for aid, protection, and support. Our ancestors represent another wellspring from whom we may draw wisdom in times of need. Since our forebears spent at least one lifetime experiencing the tribulations that are a part of human existence, their perspective is a uniquely grounded one. Ancestral spirit guides can empathize with our fears, frailties, worries, temptations, and feelings of insecurity.

If your relationship with your relatives was strained when they were earthbound or you feel disconnected from your heritage, the thought of asking your ancestors for aid can be disconcerting. But when the soul takes on its spirit form, it becomes pure light. Your ancestors, regardless of who or what they were in life, are monitoring your life’s journey because you are their progeny and they want to see you do your best. You can communicate with them directly, as well as through meditation, your dreams, or the written word. Creating an altar or shrine that displays images of your forebears or objects owned by them can help you connect with individual ancestors. The guidance they provide may take many forms, as each ancestral spirit guide retains its individual identity and will thus have its own style of communication. If your ancestors do not speak to you directly or visit you in your dreams, examine your life to determine whether they are replying to your queries subconsciously.

When you make contact with your forebears, thank them for being a part of the web of intent that gave you life. Honoring their wisdom and experience can make your life seem larger and richer. Like other spirit guides, your ancestors won’t interfere with your choices or attempt to deprive you of free will. They will give their best to answer your questions and provide you with all the love, aid, and guidance you ask for in order to help you evolve as an individual."

🙏❤️

There is so much beauty in honoring those who came before you and seeking their wisdom.

Wise words. Guilt, fear and shame are not our birthright. Love, Peace, Harmony and Joy are ❤️🙏

Neuroscience now confirms that the first seven minutes after waking are the most neurologically programmable window of your entire day. Your brain lingers in alpha and theta frequencies
the same brainwave states accessed in hypnosis, deep meditation, trauma healing and centering prayer.

You’re not fully asleep… not fully awake.

You’re in a neuroplastic meldable gateway—a transitional phase where your subconscious is most programable.

🧠 During this crossover from delta → theta → alpha → beta:
• The Default Mode Network begins to quiet
• The left and right hemispheres move into synchrony
• The Reticular Activating System (RAS) activates—filtering your reality through your emotional tone.

Wake in stress? The RAS scans for threat.
Wake in gratitude? It scans for healing, synchronicity, and possibility.
This is neurobiology. Measurable Quantum field mechanics.
You’re not just a mind in a body.
You are an electromagnetic signal in the unified field and your first thoughts are instructions.

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7

When you combine a clear intention with an elevated emotional state, you begin to broadcast a coherent electromagnetic signature.
Your heart—when tuned in gratitude, love, or awe—emits a field
5,000 times stronger than the brain’s. This field can literally entrain all things.

“Believe you have received it, and it will be yours.” — Mark 11:24
Christ spoke in Aramaic, the meaning is more precise: “Be surrounded by the state of it already occurring.”

This is the technology of inner knowing. Not begging. Not hoping. Embodying. Because the subconscious doesn’t respond to language. It responds to emotion, frequency, and repetition.

When your thoughts, heart rhythms, and behavior align—
you create a state of physiological coherence.
That’s when:
• Neuroplasticity takes root
• Synaptic pathways rewire
• Gene expression shifts
• The immune system modulates
• And the quantum field listens.

This is measurable. Trainable. Repeatable.
It’s why monks rise before dawn.
Why mystics enter silence before sunrise.
Why elite performers rehearse the future until it’s encoded into their biology.

🌱 So here’s your morning protocol:
• Upon waking—don’t scroll
• Don’t rehearse fear
• Sit in stillness
• Place your hand on your heart
• Breathe slowly into gratitude, joy, awe
• Speak as your future self—with emotional clarity
• Visualize your desired reality as already done
• Let your body believe it before your eyes ever see it.

Because when you feel it, your cells feel it.
When you repeat it, your nervous system memorizes it.
When you align with it, the field responds.
Coherence is the signal.
Intention is the vector.
Emotion is the charge.

The first seven minutes aren’t just a mental exercise. They are a biological tuning of your frequency to your desired future decided now. So tune wisely. Your nervous system is listening. The quantum field is responding. And Heaven is watching for the signal only you can send. This is free will🕊️

Our final stop as we travel around the Medicine Wheel is in the East, the direction of sunrises, new beginnings, and inspiration, and it is here that we encounter the sacred element of Air.

In shamanic traditions, Air is integral to healing rituals, visionary journeys, and spirit communication. Shamans believe the wind carries wisdom and messages from the spirit world and our ancestors. Shamans may also invoke wind spirits to clear negativity, restore balance, and reveal hidden knowledge.

Being masters of the air, Eagle and Condor are our allies here, helping us to fly high to overcome obstacles and to see the bigger picture and to understand a higher perspective.

One of my favourite visualisations is to stand in the breeze with my arms out, feet rooted into the earth, and to feel the air moving right through me, feeling and seeing it cleaning me out, blowing any sticky cobwebs or dense energy away, leaving me feeling light and shiny!

When we arrive in the North direction of the Medicine Wheel, we encounter the element of Fire. In the Q'ero tradition, Fire offers a path of rapid transformation and we release the hucha or heavy energy that we have been carrying to the Sacred Fire for transmutation, calling the transmuted energy back into our bodies as light. Fire illuminates the darkness, helping us to see, and as our inner Fire burns we are able to bring passion and creativity to our pursuits.
