Remember that the Munay Ki Rites plant energetic seeds that are your responsibility to nurture while they grow and shape your Light Energy Field.
What I found after receiving was that I had little to go on how best to cultivate the energetic seeds. We were instructed on how to do a simple fire ceremony (candle ceremony) and that this was the method to feed your seeds while the energetic transformation occurs.
While I did practice the candle ceremony I had a nagging suspicion there were additional practices that I wasn’t told about which would nourish the energetic field and catalyze the changes in energetic patterns that I realized were the natural progression of the Munay ki.
So, I did what any intelligent person would do. I returned to the source, Alberto Villoldo. It was Dr Villoldo that originally brought the rites to the rest of the world from the mountaintops of Peru where the tradition of the Q’ero shaman had been hidden for centuries.
He did give additional practices to support the transformation of the ordinary person into a mystic. Some of the practices were meditative, some ritualized and some are dietary. He explained that he has noticed the students in his shamanic school, The Four Winds Society, had shown difficulty Seeing energy. They found one possible reason for this was the typical Western diet. Heavy on meat and grain, the average diet built up residues of plaques in the brain, particularly the pineal gland, and created imbalances in the bacteria of the gut.
Heavy on meat and grain, the average diet tends to build up residues of plaques in the brain; creates imbalances in the bacteria of the gut; and blocks the natural function of the pineal and pituitary glands. The added benefit of clear mystical perception is a by product of a balanced, healthy mind/body. While I won’t go into great detail here about the various causes of these systemic imbalances, I do want to talk about some remedies that we can use to clear and nourish the endocrine system and be healthier.
Typically, before you can be healthy, a period of cleansing is needed. Your cleansing can be supported by both meditative and dietary methods. Regular alcohol consumption has a very negative effect on digestive flora. We begin the journey by abstaining from alcohol and antibiotics. I won’t go into too much detail, but you should be aware that continual use of either alcohol or antibiotics will negate any benefit from the probiotics.
Increase your consumption of green leafy vegetables to your diet. Most recommended are: Kale, spinach, collard greens, Swiss chard and algae, particularly chlorella and spirulina (for me algae is my vitamin, I take several grams a day and I highly recommend Sunfood brand). In addition you may want to expand your palate by learning to work with some foods you may not be familiar with. Along with eating more greens, try adding couscous, barley, spelt, various seaweeds (wakame, nori, kelp), chia seeds, flax seed, cacao nibs (raw) to your diet. Many of these are superfoods and immensely healing for the body and, most particularly, the brain. (I realize that few of these are part of the typical western diet. We need to be comfortable moving away from the typical. We no longer want typical results, right?) .
Another way to add seaweed (and additional minerals) into your diet is by substituting seaweed for table salt. There are several products on the market (Maine Seacoast Vegetables is a common one), or you could use a different salt, like Himalayan Pink Salt, which has lower sodium than typical table salt, and provides additional mineral supplementation to your diet as well.
Next, start taking fish oil, the recommended brand is Nordic Naturals (capsules can be purchased at Vitamin Shoppes, either in store or online). Take 3 to 6 grams of fish oil a day, preferably with dinner, or before sleep. If you eat some fats along with taking the fish oil capsules it reduces the likelihood of suffering with fish burps, or acid reflux from the fish oil. Try this for a few days and give yourself time to adapt to the fish oil before going to the next step. (My personal observation was that the Nordic Naturals brand gave me less problems with reflux and ‘fish burps’, having experienced this before with other fish oil products I was pleasantly surprised!)
What, for me, was the biggest step was taking probiotics. Before starting probiotics you may want to use a cycle of S Bulardii to clear out any yeasts or unwanted bacteria. The dose method itself os of great importance. Any brand of live culture capsules are fine. You can grow your own culture to use.
To grow a S Bollards culture: Take about 2 cups of fruit, cut it up and boil it for 20 minutes to remove any micro-organisms. Then allow to cool to room temperature. Ideally do this in a warm room. After the fruit cools, place it in a bowl, open a capsule of Bulardii and sprinkle it over the fruit, cover with a cheese cloth allowing some air to circulate, and leave on the counter overnight to multiply. (If you want a few capsules I have some left over in my refrigerator).
The Boulardii will multiply in the fruit compote. The next day take a few tablespoons of the mixture and eat lightly, take another few tablespoons before going to bed. Continue for 2 more days. The Boulardii removes unwanted bacteria from the colon, be aware that the effect may be quite strong. You may feel flu-like symptoms from this, evidence that the process of cleansing is working. Once you have removed what you don’t want, we then re-populate the gut with what we do want. Probiotics.
The recommended brand of ProBiotics is Ascended Health. I followed a regimen of Active Detox Probiotic for 2 weeks with a maintenance of ProAlive for a month after that. These probiotics are expensive. They are handmade, not mass produced, and each order is created as it comes in. These aren’t made in a factory, they are made in a lab which explains why they take a little longer and cost more.
From the time you begin taking fish oil to the day you take your last Detox Probiotic will be about 3 weeks. in that time you will have rebuilt your intestinal flora and created a habit of taking fish oil. Note the changes to how you feel in your body, how you feel in meditation and journey work. Increase (or decrease) in your intuitive abilities.
Everyone reacts differently to this regimen. I have heard that the reaction to the probiotics can be strong, I didn’t notice this. The changes were subtle and continued (and continue) after I completed the cleansing and nourishing cycle. These are system changes you are making to your body. These bodily changes may affect your experience in and of the world. Know that these changes are a good thing. See with new eyes. Feel with a new heart. There is no end to the potential you are. Believe that, it is the fundamental truth of being human.
