he poured some cool water on my forehead, hands, legs, feet which felt wonderful
An example of where water can be of benefit when applied in a gentle context. I have asked water to be poured on me .. a little on my third eye, throat & heart.
The gentle approach here is essential, for it to be of benefit, IMO .. & I say this as water use during immersion has for good reason been a controversial topic among 5'ers.
a Shaman now in my dream also chanting and shaking the rattle
I also had this experience, along with other fellow traveller's. I do believe its connected to the method of initiation (we have had similar encounters, in relation to introduction).
one last experience before returning home which was like Nirvana he did not disappear like the first couple of times I came back to awareness of the physical world fairly quickly and as I sat up to look around everything was vibrant I could see my own skin which had a slight overlay appeared like snake skin.
I have great interest in more accounts such as this. To me the 'normalisation' indicates an 'orientation' that allows for consciousness development & long term benefit.
It took me about 2 weeks to integrate this experience into my being. My reality changed in such a way almost like being reborn into a different world.
Yes .. integration can be weeks, even months, for some. I believe we are being reborn into a different world. A worthy topic for its own thread.
I also got to watch many others experience Bufo and realized that each person is unique and experiences this differently. .. I believe this experience allows human consciousness to change and become more conscious ..
Yes, there seem to be manifold responses to this sacrament, & I caution that the wild card can come @ any time, particularly with regards to deeply suppressed emotion.
The most pressing & beautiful constant i notice in accounts such as yours,
Jaguarone1 is the recognition of
.. how we effect the world around us.
Thanks for sharing with us. I would love to read how the long term integration is for you .. & if you return for more, how your experiences may differ / develop over time.
