Cleansing and Flourishing Ceremony(EN)
Angel
___
In our ordinary experience, we are overwhelmed by countless dualistic conceptions and perceptions. Every day we are attracted to pleasant objects and reject unpleasant ones. Expressed by a narrow idea of who we are, we spend time running after this and running away from it. As we have already seen, the deep-rooted habit of considering things in a dubious manner and of believing in that dualistic discrimination does not lead to anything other than to confusion and repeated disappointment.
But it is possible to cultivate a totally different view of reality. Fed up with the endless rat race, which is our compulsive cyclic existence, we can train in pervasive consciousness and cultivate a direct perception of how things really exist. This training has different phases, some eminently analytical and conceptual and others more direct and experimental.
The Benefit of the ceremony:
This Andean cleansing and flourishing ceremony is to remove negative energies and blocks which have accumulated from various sources over time. By freeing stuck or blocked paths, it allows us to expand our hearts in love, forgiveness, and everything important in our lives. It opens the way for us to be our true selves. It also serves to prepare us to enter to the ceremony of gratitude with purity of mind and spirit.
