Copal Ritual Teachings
On my 52nd birthday in the Yucatan I was able to be in a ceremony with a family of indigenous practitioners. This is where I drank copal tea for the first time, 4 years ago.
According to Yucatan h'men Juan Manuel fondly called 'El Indio' who led the ceremony, "Copal awakens memories of who you are, where you come from and your true relationship with creation, with everything in the cosmos and galaxy, with Earth and with all living beings that inhabit this place."
I've come to learn that the tea awakens DNA, heals ancestral issues that reside deep in the bones, aids the stomach & intestinal tract and helps with respiratory ailments.
He encouraged me to keep drinking the tea.
Under the guidance of my Madrina, Pamela Espinoza, we discussed the most sustainable way to make the tea, as a tincture.
I share with you how Itz Copal came to be.
I always source responsibly from my homeland of Belize. ๐ง๐ฟ
I continued to study the cosmology stories & be curious as copal has been a strong ally of mine.
Under the encouragement of a Yucatan Maestro Miguel Angel Vergara, and with permission to shine our light; I feel a nudge to share a ritual with this sacred medicine.
I invite you to join me to drink tea together for four consecutive nights and deepen your relationship with copal (or preferably, one of your local tree resins) in this storytelling teaching about the sacred medicine of the Protium copal trees.
