BEING IN A PLACE WELL

40 Day purification journey into silence & presence

Late Spring 2022

Spring is the perfect time to cleanse the body and all the energy systems. As we move from Easter through to solstice , this 40 day journey will give us the opportunity to go deeply through a purification process. To cleanse our bodies fully, to come into daily practices of sound and silence and to deepen these practices in preparation for a 24 hour Mayan Initiatiatory process in the wilds of Sussex (or where you live, in your hills & your land)

TOOLS FOR PURIFICATION

40 Day Nutrition Plan

Using a nutritional plan, put together specifically for this process by a nutritional expert and a lovely friend, we will go through a 40 day process of cleansing our energetic systems. Purifying and aligning our bodies. Many of us will still be carrying the heavy metals in our systems that our mothers carried when we were in their womb. On a daily basis we breathe toxins in the air and consume toxins through the water and our foods. These 40 days will give us the opportunity to cleanse and completely align our physical being. Working in the manner which serves you best, the process will deepen according to where you are, including initiating a morning cleanse, heavy metal detox, adrenal snacks, clearing the lymphatic system and coming finally into a full body detox before a final period of fasting. Every step of the process will be guided for you, seperated into 5 distinct sections: days 1-10, Days 11-20, Days 21- 30, Days 31-38, Day 39 & 40.

Daily Sound Meditation

As we journey through the 40 days we will come into a daily sound practice to help keep our energetic systems clear and shifting unwanted patterning and energies that no longer serve us. Using the ancient Egyptian primordial chant of the Hu, we will gradually deepen this sounding space as we journey through the 40 days.

Silence

Silence, observing and being will be one of the major tools and practices of this time. In tandem with the sound we will create spaces for intentional silence. Times to be, to listen deeply, be present and observe. These periods will increase as we journey through the 40 days, extending in a way that is manageable with your daily lives. These silences will form the foundation of our practice as we build towards our initiation process at the end of the 40 days.

Why 40 days?

Throughout human history great spiritual leaders and indigenous communities have engaged in processes of purification, prayer and fasting to deepen their spiritual practice and initiate into a new phase of their lives. 40 days seems to be a significant period that is used to go through these deep shifts. Pythagoras, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed (PBUH), Hindhu saints, Yogis and many others went through these defining periods of 40 days as they deepened into their soul purposes.

Throughout our 40 day process we will have opportunities to gather together on Zoom, to talk through where we are, to share silence, to chant together. We will gather on March 9th to start our journey together, setting intentions and building our energy. We will then arrange two Zoom meets during the 40 days where we can support each other and share our progress and where we are.

Mayan Practice - ‘Being in a Place Well’ - 24 hour vigil

As part of the training of Shamans in the Mayan Tutuzil tradition, apprentices were challenged over a series of weeks to go deeply into nature and to come into full presence. Not heightened awareness, leaving the physical realm, but becoming deeply embodied IN the physical realm. Listening, being, breathing in silence. The culmination of this process would be when the apprentice was taken out into a wild place with no provisions but a blanket and water. They would come into a silent meditative space just before dawn and then remain seated throughout the day, through the following night until the following dawn.

Through these 40 days of purification we will build towards this moment. Purifying through nutrition, deepening our presence through sound meditation and silence. Coming into profound stillness. The final days of this process will see us entering into a fasting space, preparing us for the opportunity to go through the initiation process of Being in a Place Well.

•

Just before dawn on the 39th day of our process you will have the opportunity to gather here in the South in the Downs of Sussex or find a nature space where you are. We will meet just before dawn, find our meditative spaces and then go through to the following morning dawn.

For those who might not be able to meet in the physical, this process can be carried out in your own hills, energetically we will hold the space together and take our rites of passage.
