Preparing your body, mind, and spirit is an essential part of honoring the sacred ceremony experience. Please review these guidelines carefully before your ceremony date.
These guidelines apply to most Earth Medicine ceremonies. Your facilitator may provide additional specific instructions.
Before you sit in ceremony, take seven days to prepare your heart. The medicine meets you exactly where you are, and journaling clears the path. Each morning, give yourself five minutes. Read the prompt for the day. Write whatever comes, without judging it. There are no wrong answers. Bring your pages with you to ceremony.
Day 7
You are clearing your body so the medicine can meet you cleanly.
Journal Prompt
What part of me did my family or culture train me not to have?
If you are stuck, start here: think about what you were told not to feel as a child.
Day 6
Journal Prompt
What am I afraid I may feel, remember, or admit?
If you are stuck, start here: name the feeling you push away fastest.
Day 5
Your body is already beginning to listen.
Journal Prompt
Is there an emotion you tend to avoid? What memory taught you it was not safe to feel it?
If you are stuck, start here: think of the last time you cried or wanted to.
Day 4
Journal Prompt
What truth am I finally ready to live?
If you are stuck, start here: what have you known for years but never said out loud?
Day 3
The medicine works with what you bring. Bring honesty.
Journal Prompt
What is the deeper truth behind my intention?
If you are stuck, start here: ask why three times after your first answer.
Day 2
Journal Prompt
If I had to offer one quality to the medicine to support this process, what would it be?
If you are stuck, start here: think of what you most want to give, not get.
Day 1
Tomorrow you cross a threshold. Tonight, be gentle with yourself.
Journal Prompt
What pain, belief, or behavior keeps repeating in my life?
If you are stuck, start here: what pattern are you tired of?
Ceremony Morning
You are ready. Trust the container.
When you arrive, bring these pages with you. They are part of your offering. You do not need to share them. They are yours. But the act of writing them is the beginning of your healing.
If the thought of walking in makes your chest tight, read this part first. Here is exactly what happens when you arrive.
You will be greeted at the door by someone who has been where you are.
You will place your belongings in a safe spot.
You will be shown where to sit and made comfortable.
We will open with prayer and song.
You do not need to do anything except breathe.
You are safe here.
