PREPARING FOR THE DAY

Wim Hof Breathing Instructions - How to Breathe

Wim Hof Guided Meditation

To perform our best we aim to get the most out of our rest.

In preparing our body and mind for working with sacraments, we always adhere to the traditional jungle diet for 7-14 days before, and we recommend maintaining it for 3-4 days afterward. The most critical aspect is avoiding fried foods, excessive salt/sodium, sugar, fermented foods, gluten, dairy, and pork. This dietary regimen serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it involves a physical cleansing that not only enhances the experience but also primes the body to receive the sacrament. Secondly, it embodies an element of reverence and sacrifice, which we consider essential for sacred work—essentially, it's about "giving up our vices." What you invest in it is what you'll receive from it.

To prepare your mind a few days in advance, begin by solidifying your intention for the work and creating the receptive mindset to receive guidance from the medicine. Abstaining from sexual activity four days before the ceremony can help recirculate Kundalini energy, intensifying the energetic work. We also recommend following abstinence for an additional 2-4 days afterward, if possible.

On the day of the ceremony, keep your meals light. In addition to the dietary restrictions mentioned earlier, we recommend consuming vegetables, smoothies, and soups without sodium, among other options. Some individuals choose to fast on the day of the ceremony, but we personally do not. We have found that being hungry during the experience can be too distracting and uncomfortable. However, if you are accustomed to fasting and can tolerate it, feel free to do so. It's generally a good idea to refrain from solid food for at least 3 hours before starting, unless you have blood sugar issues.
