Cleansing

Gratitude and forgiveness.  We’re going to give thanks for our physical bodies, because we have a complete body, with hands, feet, we are able to hear, able to see, able to breathe, eat, touch etc.  And we ask forgiveness because we haven’t cleansed this in a long time.

Air element

Taking some aromatic dry plant of your preference, begin to pass the herb all around your body in order starting with the head, then the arms, the torso, legs, feet, while saying, may tiredness be removed, may stress be removed, may fatigue be removed, sickness, traumas, etc..

Fire element

Now we will burn these herbs/dry plant matter so that  sickness, stress, aches and pain are disintegrated from our bodies.

Saturation

Earth element

Find yourself in a garden, place your feet on the earth, we’re going to ask the earth to provide energy to our masculine extremities, because they help to carry us all day long and we’re going to visualize how the energy travels up from the feet, ankles, legs, hips, reaching our navel.  Now we place our hands on the ground touching the earth and ask to please give much energy to our feminine extremities to be able to do the work that we do; operate machinery such as cars, computers, etc, feeling how the energy rises through our arms  and disperses in our body reaching our navel.

Water element

After bathing and being clean, we will allow the water to fall on all of our 13 articulations(joints), 13 times on each joint, both on the interior part as well as the exterior (or outer part). Starting with the inner part of the left ankle, moving up to the inner part of the left knee, the left hip, inner part of left wrist, inner part of left elbow, now move to under the left armpit, under the neck, now move to under the right armpit, now begin to move down on the inside of the joints all the way to the right ankle, now begin to move up on the outside of the joints starting with the right ankle, up and around, getting the back of the neck this time,  until reaching the outside of the left ankle.

As we move deeply into this age of visible consequence, the turbulence of our time provides incredible challenges for maintaining one’s internal equilibrium and balance within the world.  To help us navigate these rough seas with more grace, Armadillo Rojo has generously shared a four part process for clearing obstacles and reinvigorating our being. We will publish the series in four parts, featuring a new body (mental, spiritual, emotional, material) each week. We encourage you to participate in the exercises as described, and hope that it may help you to find balance and well being in this time when our collective strength is being called forth. We also express our deepest gratitude for the sharing of these timely teachings with us all.

Cleansing

Gratitude and forgiveness; we will give thanks to our emotional bodies for all the feelings we may have had throughout the course of our lives. Especially the ones that have given us joy such as love, empathy, friendship, as well as those feelings that have caused us sadness; the death of a friend, a family member, separations etc… We ask forgiveness because we haven’t cleansed this in a long time.

Air element

We are going to draw a heart on a piece of paper, thinking that this is our own heart. Place the piece of paper in front of your mouth and with a strong loud voice you will say the following phrase; “my heart is cleansed by the pain that caused me to abandon the work”, now blow on the piece of paper with the heart. Say another phrase and blow again, say something for sadness, for the loss of a friend, of a love, for the times that you didn’t cry, for the times you swallowed your tears.

Fire element

taking an unlit candle, begin to pass it over your heart, asking that the candle pick up all sadness, pain, sorrow, leftover weeping, etc. Then light the candle so that the fire can consume that energy.

Saturation

Earth element

Taking 13 flowers of your most favorite color, we’ll individually pass them saying a proclamation that our hearts may be filled with love with the first one, with friendship with the second one, with solidarity with the third, and this way until we complete all 13 with positive feelings.

Water element

We’re going to place 13 drops of essential oil or some aromatic water on our hearts and visualize how the water seeps into the heart, leaving the heart fortified and full of fragrant water.

Grandmother Red Armadillo begins her guidance to a balanced and stronger life, so that we can cleanse our energy from negativity, fear and anxiety caused by the pandemic or by any other problem we might be facing and which brings weakness.

These small rituals have been created based on the principles of the Maya Cosmovision; the gratefulness, the forgiveness, the cleansing and the saturation to find a balance in our life. The rituals in Maya Culture are done for different causes, illnesses, yearly cleansings, cleansing of a great problem, etc. They take place in steam baths, crystalline and calm rivers, fast-flowing rivers, the sea shore, at the foot of a mountain, in caves, at Sacred Places, etc.  In this case I have adapted the rituals to the modern life in the cities so that at these times that all humanity is going through a crisis, these can be used to improve the energy of the person, family, community, work, city, etc. so that we gradually acquire the energy to live in balance.

In the Maya world there are 4 bodies, we will cleanse each of through four rituals and elements in nature. We have to choose a space and time in which we will not be interrupted while doing these healing rituals. The first two are for cleansing and the last two to capture energy and become strong.

Mental body

Cleansing

Gratefulness and forgiveness; we will thank our mind because we have the ability to think, analyze, generate ideas, etc. We ask for forgiveness because we have not cleansed it in a long time.

Element air

In a piece of paper we will write all negative ideas, no one will read this paper, so we can write all that we think about the pandemic, fear of becoming infected, of breathing through a ventilator, fear that a family member or a friend could die, etc.

Element fire

With a pair of scissors we will cut this paper in little pieces and we will burn it.

Saturation

Element earth

We will go to a garden, take a kneeling posture, placing our head on the earth. We will imagine that roots come out of our head toward Mother Earth and that we are fed by the positive energy, peace, calmness, love, balance, etc. of Mother Earth.

Element water

We will take a shower at night, once we are clean we will let water fall in our head, we will close our eyes and think that through our scalp the refreshing energy of water penetrates every corner of our brain, bringing cleanliness, clarity, vitality, etc. and these permeate every corner of our brain.
