Anscestal

I am sorry that I wasn't able to write after the last ceremony to let every one know what had happened. This has been my first chance. The processing of this last ceremony has been huge and the idea of facing a computer screen for a long period of time has just not been appropriate or conducive to where I have been at.

I will tell you about it now however.

As I had mentioned in the last email Dan, Simon and Liz have arrived. They have definitely stirred up the little nest we had been grooming for the past month. In a conducive way might I add. Wow! Three big energies finding their footing in this crazy little country Peru and connecting into the tight group dynamic like we have formed has been interesting. Simon was pretty well straight to work cleansing and clearing the space and all of us.

We were scheduled to have our final ceremony the day after their arrival but due to unforeseen circumstances with Olinda's family the Ceremony was put back a few days to the Tuesday. This suited everybody as their long trip had definitely taken it out of them. This gave us all a few more days to spend together and clear any mis or preconception of what was to take place.
This time proved to be very valuable, enabling us all to sit together, ground and connect.


Like Purdie, Mum and myself, the rest of the tribe were welcomed with open arms by Ysabel and her family. Liz and Simon have been given the freedom to film and interview it seems any part of this process they feel . It has been intimidating being in-front of a camera again. For Purdie, (Spanish name Mia), this is the first time watching herself on screen. A nerve racking experience in any ones book. I assure her she is doing a fantastic job and with this encouragement she seems to be getting more comfortable with the filming process and also more excepting of her biological downfalls like and I quote “Her fat knees.” Liz’s interviewing style has been most confronting, raising a lot of issues and emotions with her style of questioning. In some way it sux, but in another way it is bringing up stuff for us all that needs to be cleared. It appears that this is the way it has to be done. On film potentially viewed by the world. So be it.

Ceremony 4
The ceremony itself was very interesting. Again held at Ysabel’s house after a late location change. The six of us drank Huachuma sitting at the Mesa in her back court yard. Now with the extra three people the space became quite active, with all dimensions and Artes (staffs and ornaments) of the Mesa being used with vigor. Again, this is a my perspective of the event. This being my 5th Ceremony, 4 times with the group and once on my own. This ceremony was a much stronger and deeper experience. I could feel so much more, it was as though a veil had been lifted. The veil that has been suppressing my potential in this life time.
After a series of cleansing rituals (with the help of Olinda) Mum, Dan and Myself were asked to lay on mats on the concrete floor in the center of the Mesa. Mum in the middle, my head touching her head and Dan's feet to her feet. The three of us were like a conduit ready to conduct a current. This was an ancestral healing through the blood line of my Mother.

A photograph of my Grand mother, Margaret was placed under both my and Lakshmi's head.
To my right and sitting in front of the Mesa on the bench seat was Simon, Purdie and Liz. I was in quite a trance by the beautiful sounds coming from Purdie as both she and Simon sang Icaros (Shamananic songs) through out our three way healing process. I talked to Purdie about these sounds later and she was said to me that she couldn't even hear her own voice in those moments as she was going through some process herself in that now. What ever it was that she was channeling helped me to clear the last of what I had in me. A large gasp of air expelled out of my lungs and into the night sky never to return. As this entity or energy inside me was not welcome anymore. After the three of us had our healing we were ordered to sit up and Ysabel then commenced with some more of her loving and nurturing healing that we have so come to endear. As she whispered in our ears and rubbed our brows and hearts, all defenses faded away and a super high way was formed a long the family line.

The only vehicles allowed on this road were love SUV’s and honesty wagons as we journeyed through the night of two worlds.

Olinda then bathed us individually with holy water from the Mesa, in the bath to the rear of where we were sitting. We returned to the center and sat back to back with our heads touching and in that moment we cleared. This was what we had set out to do.
No more cancer spirit will be carried down that maternal line. Our kids and kid’s, kid's are now safe from these spirits.

Believe it or not!

Then it was our time to to sit on the bench. I sat in the middle of Mum and Dan and was handed a little rattle to shake by Olinda. We sat in the darkness witnessing the clearing for Purdie , Simon and Liz. A masterful thing to watch, Ysabel’s and Olinda’s craft.
An experience I shall never forget.

I was feeling the effects of the Huachuma for hours after. We had pre ordered some taxi's to pick us up at 11:30pm when the ceremony was over. They were fancy executive style cabs. So under the cover of darkness we left the Chiclayo ghetto’s in convoy. It had a very Mafia eske vibe.
One of the things you can do to help bring you back down to the physical plane after taking Huachuma is eat sugar. (recommended by Ysabel of course) Lucky for us there was and ice-cream shop open at that time of night, so the kids (Purdie, Dan and Rob) ordered the taxis to make an emergency detour to get some ice-cream. It is interesting that eating salt after ceremony increases the effects of Huachuma as Liz found out after her own personal ceremony this week.

I awoke the next morning pretty shaken after a late night and early rise. I sat deep within myself that day and quite honestly didn't feel like much of anything. Liz did some interviews in the morning but that was really all I could manage. The energy in the house was quite heavy and I think the strain of the past month was catching up with me. Luckily for me, my Brother had other plans. He coaxed me into doing a surf trip with him 2 hours South to a place called Pacasmayo. The worlds longest left hand wave.

I realized I had been doing so much protecting and and nurturing of Mum and this situation that I was becoming quite recluse not wanting to do much at all. Dan on the other hand was struggling with this energy and encouraged me to get out of the house persisting with this idea. I agreed in the end to let my self leave Mum with the rest of the tribe and travel a foreign country with my brother, something we have never done together. Anyway we have just returned from an amazing three day trip, where we scored perfect waves, had some great laughs and met up with some young American guys traveling 40,000km around South America in a F350 Bio Diesel Camper who are promoting energy efficient life styles.
If your interested in what we got up to with them check out their website www.feralgreen.com as we are sure to be on their blog as our time together was unforgettable.

We are three days away from leaving this place heading to..... It looks like now Iquitos in the Amazon. There have been many thoughts on where it is mum would like to go or should go. Yesterday morning a very interesting phone call came through for Simon and the decision was made that Simon and Liz travel to Iquitos to meet with a man who has some more information for us about the recommended Shaman to sit with for the next stage of her healing. This journey is far from over and really it feels like it has just begun.

Although the spirits of our Ancestors have been cleared the cancer is still present and Mums new regime will begin. She has been will be given seven month of herbs to take and more ceremonies this time with Ayahuasca as this has been recommended so that Mum can feel and see the cancer and her process clearly, in order to release any of her fears which may/are still there.

I have uploaded more You Tube movies for you guys to check out. I hope you enjoy
