Dicen los expertos que el orden calma la mente. La limpieza, la organizacin de nuestro entorno y evitar el caos hacen que nos sintamos mejor y ms relajados. Esto es lo que nos proponen S. J. Scott y Barrie Davenport en su libro Ordena tu mente (Ed. Kitsune Books), una gua que te permite liberarte de las preocupaciones.
Estos autores utilizan tcnicas de mindfulness (atencin plena) como ejercicio para ordenar el caos mental. Con ellas, nos ensean a deshacernos de los pensamientos negativos, crear espacio en nuestra mente y disfrutar de una paz interior y una mayor felicidad.
Poner en orden el estrs y la negatividad es algo esencial, pues, de lo contrario, podemos descuidar reas importantes de nuestra vida o sentirnos abrumados, vacos y con una infinidad de preocupaciones y pensamientos negativos embotndonos la mente.
Adems de afectar a nuestra salud, esta situacin impide que nos centremos en las cosas que realmente importan. Dado que nuestros pensamientos definen cmo nos sentimos e interactuamos con nuestro entorno, est en nuestras manos cuidar y proteger nuestra salud y paz mental. Por dnde empezamos?
En primer lugar, debemos poner en orden nuestras obligaciones y prioridades atendiendo a los valores que son importantes para nosotros (trabajo, familia, salud y crecimiento personal, vida social, etc.), de modo que logremos nuestros objetivos de forma gradual sin perder de vista nuestros ideales y nuestra consciencia plena.
Es importante tambin conocer los efectos negativos que tienen las malas relaciones en nuestra vida, as como identificar las relaciones de calidad y ganar consciencia tanto de nosotros mismos como de aquellos que nos rodean. Haz lo mismo, anota si es necesario en un papel aquellas relaciones que te aportan mayor paz y las que pueden ser txicas intenta evitarlas.
Contar con un entorno ordenado y ms simple en el que menos es ms, tanto a nivel material como digital, reporta enormes beneficios: nos ayuda a evitar las distracciones y a aumentar la productividad al mismo tiempo que simplificamos nuestras actividades y comenzamos a disfrutar con consciencia plena.
Como vemos, la limpieza y el orden externo es bsico para una mayor calma mental. Y as lo corrobora soji, un mtodo budista que podemos conocer de la mano de Shoukei Matsumoto (Ed. Kitsune Books) y que nos ayuda a disfrutar de actos tan cotidianos como barrer, limpiar, ordenar o quitar el polvo.
Segn la creencia del budismo zen, este ritual de la limpieza es esencial para alimentar el alma, ms incluso que la meditacin: es una prctica que nos ayuda a dejar atrs aquello que no nos aporta nada, prescindir de lo que enturbia nuestro presente y cultivar nuestra mente para que brote el futuro. Cmo debemos empezar a limpiar para calmar nuestra mente?

Basndose en sus investigaciones sobre las herramientas y prcticas esenciales de los chamanes y curanderos mesoamericanos, en particular de los antiguos yucatecas, mexicas (aztecas) y mayas, rika Buenaflor nos ensea, paso a paso, a realizar la prctica ms comn del curanderismo: las limpiezas. Estos ritos chamnicos de purificacin sirven para limpiar y revitalizar tanto a las personas como a los espacios, usando hierbas, flores, huevos, plumas, fuego y agua, adems de constituir una poderosa herramienta para el autoempoderamiento. Gracias a sus veinte aos de experiencia como curandera, as como a sus estudios universitarios sobre el chamanismo en Mesoamrica, rika nos revela las races indgenas de las tcnicas del curanderismo, explora los relatos sagrados en los que se basan los ritos limpieza, analiza en profundidad sus distintos tipos de ceremonias (agua, fuego, adivinacin), describe las propiedades curativas de las plantas que se utilizan en las limpiezas y nos ensea a realizar los cnticos que utilizan los curanderos. El libro, adems, nos revela el efecto holstico de las limpiezas que nos ayuda a dejarnos llevar y eliminar del cuerpo, de la mente y del espritu todas esas creencias que nos limitan, as como nuestros traumas y nuestras historias inconclusas; nos permite curar enfermedades graves y crnicas tales como la depresin, el insomnio y la ansiedad; y sirve para revitalizar y activar los lugares sagrados al conseguir renovar su esencia y eliminar las energas negativas.
Curanderismo Soul Retrieval delves into a very dynamic shamanic healing tradition that is grounded in ancient Mesoamerican principles. Curanderx believe that the soul is sacred essence energy that is concentrated in certain regions of the body, and can leave the body as a way to cope through a challenging situation, or an intertwined cluster of them. Unfortunately, the loss of sacred essence energy typically manifests in diverse negative ways, including experiencing: analogous difficult patterns over and over again, physical ailments, various states of depression, insomnia, and other misfortunes.
Curanderismo Soul Retrieval reveals how people can effectively heal from various forms and degrees of traumas, move forward with substantially elevated clarity, become more self-aware, empowered, and experience greater depths of authentic self-love. It inspires a return of sacred essence energy aka soul pieces, which are essential for greater happiness, exuberant health, and to be able to manifest with impeccability. Rather than simply assume that the first trance journey or session will result in a soul retrieval, as most soul retrieval modalities do, it provides a more fluid approach that can encompass various scenarios, and types and degrees of traumas. It treats soul retrieval as the dynamic process it should be, and most importantly promotes a lasting retrieval and development of sacred essence energy.
It guides the soul retrieval journey into the ancient Mesoamerican gifts and lessons of the sacred cardinal spaces: the South, discovery and understanding; the West, death and releasing; the North, ancestral guidance and medicine; the East, new beginnings; and the Center, the space that acts a portal into the non-ordinary realms and the cardinal spaces. It also reveals how the ancient Mesoamericans conceived the soul, the non-ordinary realms: Underworld, Middleworld and Upperworld, and the associations of the cardinal spaces to give context, depth, and understanding to this soul retrieval practice.
It contains step-by-step instructions as to how to go into a trance journey, and navigate into the non-ordinary realms and cardinal spaces, as well as how to connect with soul pieces, animal guardians, and animal co-essences. The book also offers many different shamanic breathwork and shamanic dancing exercises, as well as mudras (hand postures) to facilitate trance states; sound/toning and acupressure point exercises to stimulate the areas of the body that store the energies of certain types of traumas; and contemplative exercises that continue to help people to integrate soul pieces outside the trance journeying states. It also includes inspirational stories of people, their struggles and triumphs, when working with the medicine and wisdom of the Mesoamerican cardinal spaces.
In this hands-on guide to working with the sacred energies of the sun, night sun, and moon, curandera Erika Buenaflor details the rites, rituals, and deities for each part of the day and night and explores the sacred tools and techniques used by ancient Mesoamerican shamans for harnessing solar and lunar energies. She explains how the sun is the source of soul energy that heals, animates, strengthens, and revitalizes us on many levels, while night energies are transformative and conducive for connecting with nonordinary realms. She explores rituals for dawn, sunrise, and midmorning to harness the energies of creation and new beginnings; for noon and afternoon to promote peak strength and spiritual wisdom; for sunset and dusk to bring about transformation, perform divination, and journey with animal spirit guides; and for midnight and predawn to facilitate shamanic dreamwork, connect with the ancestors, make offerings, and regenerate at the deepest levels. She also explores how nighttime energies are affected by the phases of the moon and offers specific practices for each phase.
In this guide, Erika Buenaflor explores the animal mythologies, spirit journeying techniques, and shapeshifting practices of ancient shamanic traditions and modern-day curanderismo. She examines how indigenous Mesoamerican peoples used animals in their ceremonial healing and divination rites and explains the innate gifts and powers that different animals embody. She explores why certain animals are associated with and provide access to the non-ordinary realms: the Underworld, Middleworld, and Upperworld, wherein deities, ancestors, supernatural beings, and medicine could be connected with or obtained. She details how to enter into a trance journey to go into these nonordinary realms, be guided by or shapeshift into an animal associated with that realm, and access the sacred gifts and spiritual medicine they offer. The author explores shapeshifting practices in detail, and the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits we can gain by engaging in shapeshifting practices. She also explores how to strengthen our connections with our spirit animal guides.
