Ayahuasca Love

I've been a bit quiet here the past two weeks as I was hosting two amazing guests for an ayahuasca retreat. Every retreat is different as we are unique beings that are navigating our own inner and outer struggles.

What is the same is the love that ayahuasca has for all those who answer her call. Ayahuasca is a conscious spirit healer/doctor, as are all plants.

How we approach and build relationships with these spirits is key. Everything is relationship built on reciprocity. It takes focus and attention and above all receptivity.

With ayahuasca we call it a dieta, where we essential "diet" the medicine. We can do this with any plant spirit.

Rosemary is a beautiful, heart-opening spirit and an "easy" one to get to know. It takes some effort on our part as it is non-psychedelic and as a result we must "strive" a bit more to get to know her.

If you would like to learn how to connect with Rosemary or any other plant, follow the protocols below.

Select your date for the dieta
Eat a plant based diet for 3 days prior
The night before your selected date make your rosemary tea by taking a 4 large sprigs and steeping it in 500ml hot water similar to tea. Steep for 30 minutes and remove the sprigs. Your tea will be ready in the morning
You will fast the entire day of the dieta, drinking only the rosemary tea and a small amount of water during the day
First thing in the morning, take a shower prior to drinking your tea.
Then you can light a candle or several in your space.
Have 250ml of your tea in a cup, sit quietly and hold your tea at your heart center
Connect to the tea and rosemary. Your intention for the day is to connect and get to know rosemary.
You may speak any other intentions into your cup of tea.
State the following aloud, "I give thanks to rosemary and this sacred plant medicine; I invite and welcome you into my being to teach and guide me in subtle and profound ways. I give thanks to Pachamama/Mother Earth for this sacred medicine."
You may now drink your first cup of tea.
When finished, sit quietly for as long as you are able while maintaining your intention and meditate on rosemary. Open to receive rosemary. Try to remain in stillnness, silence and meditation as much as possible throughout the day.
You may have water two hours after ingesting your first cup and small amounts throughout the day.
Drink your second cup of tea around 6pm and again follow the meditation process.
It is best to have cell phones turned off, no social media or interaction with others for the entire day.
Have a journal handy to write as little or as much as you like.
You can sing to rosemary during the day if you feel called.
Place a sprig of rosemary under your pillow when you go to sleep that night.
The following morning take a few minutes to sit quietly and thank rosemary.
You are now finished your dieta.
You can also do this again at any time to deepen your relationship with rosemary or you can extend the dieta from one day to as many as you can do while fasting. I recommend no more than 3 days.
