POST workshop SUPPORT

Congratulations on completing a profound experience into your Self! When you arrive home, eat something, soup, salad, or a light meal.  Take a warm bath or shower. You will feel tired and want to sleep. You may have the deepest, most relaxing sleep of your life. For others, it may be disruptive. In either case, the experience is still in progress.

The day following your experience, you will feel raw emotionally, tender like a child. Your spirit may feel light, and you may feel alive and clear. Your physical body may feel exhausted. Physical exhaustion is the result of the release of energies which no longer serve you. It is a time to be with yourself, not to try to analyze what happened, but to feel emotions in your body with great compassion. More insights or emotions may surface. 

There will be more insights and feelings surfacing. You have released unexpressed emotions and there is rewiring occurring in the neurotransmitters in your brain. Rest!

Remember that your ego will always try to pull you back into what is familiar, guilt, worry, sadness, unproductive thought, and anxiety. This is the time to dig deep and feel into your heart. The answers are all inside. Push through to find higher meaning. Remember that your mind will continue to tell you stories. You do not need to engage or feed them. Observe them and release them.

Things to Remember Following the Workshop

• If you have a tight jaw and are still clenching, you can take Calm, or 250 mg of Magnesium Citrate in capsule form.

• If you have a headache, do not worry. You can take Advil or ibuprofen.

• Do not make any life-changing decisions such as divorce or ending a relationship, changing jobs, making large purchases for at least 1 - 2 weeks following your journey. This allows for the insights received to be rooted so you can make clear, solid decisions. Also, if you meet someone during the ceremony, wait at least one -2 weeks before dating. The energies are moving through you, and we want to make sure that you are making choices with clarity.

• It is normal to feel ungrounded, fuzzy, or tired for the first couple of days following your experience. Heavier vibration foods like chicken or meat can help. The energy which has passed through your body is much greater than what your body can absorb right away. Allow time for the energies to settle.

• Do not go to crowded places, restaurants, airports, bars for the next couple of nights. You will be very vulnerable and energetically open, and you can pick up another person’s energy.

• We recommend that you not consume alcohol, or any unprescribed medications or substances, including pot, for at least 24 hours following the workshop to honor the integration of  your body, mind and spirit. If you are micro dosing, please wait 2 days following the ceremony to resume.

• Go to the ocean and get in the water to wash away energy which you have released. Stay in the water for a minimum of 30 minutes. The ocean is the blood of the mother, the holder of our heart, our emotions. This will allow you to cleanse and rejuvenate. If you cannot make it to the beach, take a warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom salt or sea salt and essential oils. Stay in the bath or at least 20 minutes.

• If you cannot make it to the ocean, get your feet on the earth at a park or in your yard. Allow yourself to feel the grounding energy of Mother Earth.

• Take time to be alone during the next couple of days, or just be with close friends or family members, to allow the process to complete and the energies to settle inside of you. Do not try to analyze what happened. Just allow and be gentle and compassionate with yourself. Stay in your heart.

• Meditate. Maintaining meditation practice is paramount to growing in your spiritual path. Our minds are the greatest obstacle to our personal growth. The incessant noise and stories keep us from hearing our inner voice and intuition. Download “Insight Timer” from the apps on your phone and research different teachers\\ and meditations to find ones which allow you to silence the mind. Start with 10 – 15 minutes each morning and build up. Over time, you will see amazing changes in your ability to maintain calm and focus.

• Drink liquids – water and drinks with electrolytes for at least 2 days following your workshop. This includes coconut water, Vitamin One, Gatorade or a packet of Emergen-C in water. For extreme dehydration or depletion, having an IV Drip with vitamins and minerals can replenish the body. Check out Liquid Lounge, 4 Ever Young and Revitalize IV Lounge. 

• Please do not discuss anyone else’s process. It is especially important that we maintain the confidentiality of the circle.

• Speak with others from the tribe if you are feeling that you need to share. Call one of us if you need help in integrating.

• Journaling is a wonderful way to process your experience. In those moments when you believe you are not growing, you can reflect on where you were and be proud of the progress you have made in your process.

• Practice gratitude. Make a list of the things you are grateful for in your life. You will be surprised how many blessings we have in our lives! Each evening, before you go to bed, make a list of three things you are grateful for, even if they are trivial things. When you are in gratitude, you are always in your heart!

• Remember to begin the practice of noticing your words and your thoughts. We are that which we vibrate. Watch and choose your words carefully, remember to remove the negative from what you say, and rephase in the positive, not from scarcity, but from abundance. When you are in a dark or heavy place, break the vibration; dance, exercise, laugh, call a friend. Do not allow yourself to loop in a negative vibration.

• Practice self-love. This requires listening to your body. Rest when your body is asking for it. Play and take time for yourself. Get a massage or other body work. Take time for yourself to do what you enjoy doing. Get creative. Before answering or speaking with someone, pause for a moment. If you have not allowed yourself to use your voice to say what you really mean, your inner voice will give you a nudge. Having the courage to say what you feel is an act of self-love. Is what you are saying and doing, allowing you to show up for yourself, to love yourself? Be gentle with yourself and avoid self judgement. Be compassionate to you.
