The Ritual

Candles are lit
Prayers are said
Copal is burned
Healing begins
Spiritual Bathing is a centuries old Maya healing practice that balances the flow of ch’ulel or life force between body and soul. This powerful technique takes the vibrational power of water and raises its energy to a healing level using prayers, sacred incense, plants and intention giving back whole health. A cleansing can improve physical comfort, provide protection, dissipate stress, give closure to loss and uplift your spirit giving back whole health.
What to expect:
You begin being brushed with fresh basil, to remove negative attachments or energies, and enter clear space created for the healing process.
After changing into a sarong, you are seated in the garden as sacred copal incense from Belize begins to drift around you. The practitioner directs this healing smoke around your physical body, moving the curative experience into the subtle bodies, or energy fields, as a pulse diagnosis is made. Ancient prayers, appropriate to your faith, are directed into the pulse points inviting the divine agents of healing into the sacred ceremony.
Your personalized bucket of water holds your plant allies, herbs and flower essences. All were gathered with gratitude, intention, and prayer to aid in bringing their specific medicinal powers to your bath. An aspersion begins with fingertips, bundled herbs or certain holy leafy branches opening the door to your own experience.
Once the bath is completed, you sit in quiet meditation as integration takes place, followed by short massage, tea and light nourishment. Additional massage is available. This experience can be quite transformative, and takes approximately 2 hours from start to finish to assimilate the ritual process.
