You were brought here for a reason…

 1. Physical Discomfort

Blocked or misaligned chakras can lead to various forms of physical discomfort during the ceremony. These sensations might be intense as the plant medicine works to unblock stagnant energy.

- Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting (often considered part of the cleansing process), headaches, body aches, Sciatica or intense fatigue.

- Why it happens: Blocked energy in any chakra can manifest as physical ailments or discomfort in corresponding parts of the body (e.g., lower back pain for Root Chakra, digestive issues for Solar Plexus Chakra).

  2. Emotional Overload

Plant Medicine is known to bring up deep-seated emotions. If the chakras are blocked, the emotional release may feel overwhelming, as the medicine forces you to confront unresolved feelings and traumas.

- Symptoms: Intense grief, sadness, fear, anxiety, or anger can surface abruptly, sometimes leading to emotional breakdowns.

- Why it happens: Blocked Sacral or Heart Chakras, for example, can cause repressed emotions to burst forth, making the experience emotionally exhausting. If not prepared, this can feel distressing or uncontrollable.

  3. Mental Confusion and Ego Struggles

When the Third Eye or Crown Chakra is blocked, it can lead to confusion, mental fog, or an inability to process the insights being revealed. If your Solar Plexus Chakra (governing personal power and ego) is also blocked, the ego can resist letting go, leading to mental battles.

- Symptoms: Fear of losing control, disorientation, confusion, resistance to the process, or even paranoia.

- Why it happens: The medicine dissolves the ego's defenses, but if the chakras governing mental clarity and spiritual insight are blocked, this process can be difficult to navigate, resulting in inner conflict or fear of surrender.

  4. Spiritual Disconnection

If upper chakras (especially the Crown, Soul Star, Stellar Gateway, Universal, and Divine Gateway Chakras) are blocked, you may feel spiritually disconnected during the ceremony. The medicine's typical experience of unity, oneness, and divine connection may feel distant or absent.

- Symptoms: Isolation, a sense of separation from others or the divine, and a lack of spiritual connection. This can lead to feelings of abandonment or existential crisis.

- Why it happens: When the higher chakras are blocked, access to higher states of consciousness and spiritual realms is impeded, which may leave you feeling spiritually cut off despite undergoing the ceremony.

  5. Ego Death and Resistance

A misaligned or blocked Solar Plexus Chakra can make it challenging to let go of control, causing resistance to the "ego death" process, which is a common part of Plant Medicine ceremonies.

- Symptoms: Extreme fear, panic, or resistance to surrendering, as well as heightened feelings of insecurity or helplessness.

- Why it happens: The Solar Plexus Chakra governs personal power and identity. If blocked, the dissolution of the ego can be frightening, leading to anxiety or an inability to trust the experience.

  6. Overwhelming Visions & Sensory Overload

The Third Eye Chakra governs intuition and psychic abilities. If blocked or misaligned, the visions and insights from Plant Medicine may be difficult to process, leading to sensory overload or unpleasant, chaotic visions.

- Symptoms: Disturbing or chaotic visions, difficulty discerning between reality and hallucinations, and a sense of being overwhelmed by the experience.

- Why it happens: A blocked Third Eye can distort the information being received from the medicine, causing the visionary experience to feel confusing or out of control.

  7. Difficulty Integrating the Experience

Misalignment in any of the chakras can make it harder to integrate the lessons and healing from the ceremony into your everyday life. The energy may not flow properly through the chakras, resulting in a disconnect between the experience and its long-term benefits.

- Symptoms: After the ceremony, you may feel lost, unsure of how to apply the insights, or overwhelmed by the depth of the experience without clear guidance.

- Why it happens: If key energy centers (like the Heart, Third Eye, and Crown Chakras) are blocked, it can hinder your ability to make sense of and integrate the spiritual or emotional breakthroughs from the ceremony.

  8. Over-Identification with Trauma

When lower chakras (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus) are blocked, there may be an over-identification with trauma, past experiences, or deep-rooted fears. Instead of releasing them, you might become stuck in the loop of reliving them during the ceremony.

- Symptoms: A strong sense of reliving trauma or painful memories, feeling stuck in negative emotions or victimhood, or an inability to let go of past wounds.

- Why it happens: Plant medicine is meant to help release these blockages, but if the lower chakras are severely blocked, the process of letting go can feel more difficult, leading to prolonged emotional or mental discomfort.

  9. Fear of Transformation

Experiencing plant medicine with blocked chakras can trigger a deep-seated fear of change or transformation. This fear can manifest as resistance to the healing process or reluctance to face the insights brought forward.

- Symptoms: Intense fear, panic, or anxiety about what is being revealed. You may want to escape the experience or refuse to engage with the inner work that is being prompted.

- Why it happens: The Throat Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, and Third Eye Chakra are often associated with the ability to embrace change, speak your truth, and trust the process. If these are blocked, transformation can feel like a threat, rather than a release.

  10. Energy Blockages in the Body

If any of the chakras are blocked, the plant medicine may work to open these centers, leading to energy surges or blockages that can feel uncomfortable.

- Symptoms: Trembling, sweating, intense heat, or cold, and feeling energy moving in strange or intense ways throughout your body. This could include feelings of pressure in certain chakras or a sensation of "stuck" energy.

- Why it happens: The medicine facilitates energy flow through the chakras, and if there are blockages, it can create friction as the energy attempts to move, causing discomfort until the block is cleared.

1. Integration of Insights: Post-journey chakra clearing helps integrate the insights and experiences gained during the plant medicine journey. It ensures that the energy shifts are smoothly incorporated into your overall energy system, aiding in long-term transformation.

2. Emotional Balance: After the often intense emotional experiences during a plant medicine session, chakra clearing can help stabilize and harmonize your emotions. This prevents the potential for lingering emotional disturbances and supports emotional resilience.

3. Physical Recovery: The body can experience significant energy shifts during plant medicine ceremonies. Chakra clearing helps to restore physical energy, reduce any residual discomfort, and promote overall well-being.

4. Spiritual Integration: A post-journey chakra clearing facilitates the integration of spiritual insights into your daily life, helping you to maintain the expanded consciousness and heightened awareness achieved during the plant medicine experience. 

1. Earth Star Chakra (below the feet):  Archangel Sandalphon, connects us to the Earth's core and our ancestral lineage, generational trauma and Karmic patterns.

- Blocked Experience: You may feel disconnected from your body, the Earth, or your sense of place in the world. There could be feelings of being ungrounded, unsafe, or dissociated from reality, no matter how much effort you put towards grounding with nature, movement and consumption.

2. Root Chakra: Archangel Uriel, governs survival instincts, stability, and grounding.

- Blocked Experience: Anxiety, fear, and survival-based issues (e.g., financial insecurity, trust issues) may surface intensely during and after the ceremony. You may relive past traumas or feel physically unsettled.

3. Sacral Chakra: Archangels Chamuel & Gabriel, are the center of creativity, sexuality, and emotional expression.

-Blocked Experience: Emotional numbness, shame, or issues related to sexuality, creativity, and emotional expression can rise to the surface. You may feel a block in connecting to pleasure or joy, after re-engaging in your current reality that may require significant change to align to the divine insights.

 4. Solar Plexus Chakra: Archangels, Jophiel & Michael are governing willpower, personal power, and self-esteem, this chakra may be affected by the ego dissolution commonly experienced and you may be guided to release limiting beliefs and gain a greater sense of personal empowerment.

-Blocked Experience: You might experience challenges around fear, personal power, control, or self-worth. Feelings of inadequacy or ego conflicts can become intense, when considering making life choices that are in misalignment.

 5. Heart Chakra: Archangel Raphael is the central to love, compassion, and empathy. Plant medicine often facilitates heart-opening experiences, allowing for deep forgiveness, self-love, and connection to others and the universe, creating a profound healing of emotional wounds.

-Blocked Experience: Painful emotional memories, grief, or a feeling of being closed off from love (either giving or receiving) may arise. You might re-live heart-centered traumas like rejection or betrayal causing isolation or depression due to all the time left in suppression.

 6. Throat Chakra: Archangel Michael, linked to communication and truth, the Throat Chakra may be activated to help you express your authentic self, speak your truth, or confront issues around self-expression. You might experience clarity in verbalizing long-held emotions or insights.

-Blocked Experience: Suppressed truths, unspoken words, or difficulty in expressing your authentic self may manifest. You might feel physical tension in your throat or struggle with voicing your emotions after ceremony as your current experiences reflect a wounded version of you and may resist accepting a new version/truth of you.

 7. Third Eye Chakra, Archangel Raziel, is known for its visionary effects, and it can significantly impact the Third Eye Chakra, the center of intuition and psychic abilities. You may experience heightened perception, vivid visions, and a deepened connection to inner wisdom or universal consciousness.

-Blocked Experience: Confusion, inability to trust your intuition, or difficulty accessing deeper insights and visions. This can create fear around the unknown or resistance to the spiritual journey and you may find yourself resisting awareness and trying to find the “ignorance is bliss”-version of yourself.

8. Crown Chakra: Archangel Metatron, opens the Crown Chakra, the gateway to higher consciousness and spiritual connection. During a ceremony, you may feel a sense of unity with the divine, experience profound realizations about the nature of existence, or undergo spiritual awakenings.

- Blocked Experience: Feelings of isolation, disconnection from the divine, or spiritual confusion. You may struggle to understand your place in the universe or feel disconnected from higher purpose after ceremony due to the distractions of your current reality.

9. Soul Star Chakra (above the Crown): Archangels Metatron & Zadkiel, connects you to your soul’s purpose and spiritual identity. Plant medicine can open this chakra to help you access soul memories, past lives, or spiritual guides, offering deeper insights into your spiritual journey.

-Blocked Experience: A block here might manifest as confusion about your soul’s purpose, difficulty accessing spiritual memories, or a feeling of disconnection from your higher self.  Many times the divine wisdom can create confusion, or overwhelming fear, when you come to realize the change that is required in your current reality in order to get on track with your souls purpose.

10. Stellar Gateway Chakra: Archangel Seraphiel, connects you to cosmic consciousness and other dimensions. During a plant medicine journey, this chakra may allow you to access higher realms, communicate with beings of light, or experience oneness with the cosmos.

-Blocked Experience: Feeling limited to Earth-based consciousness, with difficulty accessing multidimensional or cosmic experiences. A block here can make it challenging to connect to higher realms or cosmic consciousness, creating a misconception that you need something other than your Breath to connect to this oneness.

11. Universal Heart Chakra: Ascended Masters Mother Mary & Jesus Christ, at the center of your chest, expanding outward to encompass your entire being, located even higher, helps integrate cosmic energies into your being. Plant medicine may assist in activating this chakra, opening the doorway to multidimensional awareness and universal consciousness, expanding your understanding of reality.

-Blocked Experience: A sense of limitation in integrating cosmic energies into your being. You might feel disconnected from universal consciousness or struggle to understand the bigger picture of existence or become hyper-focused on Understanding.

12. Galactic Chakra: As a bridge to other galaxies and star systems, this chakra can be activated through plant medicine to help you receive transmissions or healing from other civilizations, dimensions, or star systems, tapping into cosmic wisdom.

-Blocked Experience: If blocked, you may feel cut off from your cosmic origins or find it difficult to tap into wisdom from other star systems and dimensions. This can manifest as a limited perspective on your spiritual existence and your role as a Creator on Earth.

13. Divine Gateway Chakra: The highest in the 13 chakra system, the Divine Gateway represents ultimate connection with the Divine and Source energy. During a plant medicine experience, you may merge with Source, experience unconditional love, and feel a profound sense of wholeness and divinity.

-Blocked Experience: A blocked Divine Gateway may result in a disconnection from Source energy, preventing you from experiencing full spiritual liberation or enlightenment.
