Be mindful of what you’re putting into your body. Eat a healthy diet and avoid processed foods about 3-5 days before your ceremony. Also avoid alcohol during this timeframe.

Bring water and wear comfortable clothing. Bring layers, for body temperature can vary when connecting to Spirit. Typically, most people feel colder, although warmth is also possible. Blankets and pillows are available, but feel free to bring anything that would make you more comfortable. Also any sentimental objects you feel connected to, crystals, stones, photos etc. are more than welcome to place on the altar.

Not necessarily. Follow whatever your regular daily routine is. If you eat breakfast or lunch daily, then do that. If you skip breakfast and lunch is the first meal of the day, follow that routine.

Christina connects to her Spirit Guides and ask the specific amount that is needed for each individual. Doses are between 1.5-3.5 grams.

Entire length of ceremony falls within a 4-5 hour timeframe when working with individuals. Official closing of ceremony is done based on intuitive knowing. For groups of two or more, ceremony typically last slightly longer, in the 4-6 hour range.

No. Consuming medicine with intentional healing is much different than recreational/party use. You are connecting on an inward journey to your highest, truest self through the sentient intelligence of the medicine. Everyone’s experience of that is completely different and unique to you.

Of all the years Christina has been holding ceremony, this event is yet to happen. Proper setting, intention, and dosing indeed go a long way. With that being said, challenging or uncomfortable experiences can arise. The medicine is never going to show you something that you are not ready to see or handle. If some discomfort starts to arise, Christina invites you to sit with that discomfort. If you decide you’ve had enough of that discomfort, then you can simply open your eyes and come out of whatever information you were receiving. There is no judgement in sacred space.

If something becomes scary or fearful a tool to help dissipate this is sending love (blowing a kiss, giving a hug) to whatever that is. Love is the highest vibration there is, so no matter what, it will dissipate any fear or feelings of a lower vibration. Christina is fully aware when moments in ceremony are becoming heavier and/or darker. She is there with you supporting, guiding, and assisting you through these challenging moments by the channeled guidance of Spirit and training of her Shamanic practices.  This is not often the case, but find comfort in knowing nothing that has light shined upon it can truly stay dark for long.

This can vary for the individual. Majority of the time, people have their eyes closed. Visuals through the third eye typically range from seeing colors, geometric shapes/patterns, fractals, animals, people, etc. When eyes are open, colors may seem more vivid and alive or there can be variation of the objects or people you are looking at. Others may not notice any difference at all.

Christina begins each and every ceremony with an opening, calling in and creating Sacred Space that is fully safe and protected. Music is guiding the journey for the entire duration of ceremony. Majority of this is from a curated playlist but Christina will also drum, rattle, or use singing bowls when called to do so. Eyes masks and eye pillows are available and encouraged for the client to use.

As Christina is tapped into the subconscious of the individual, she receives information that she is happy to share during or after ceremony is closed, if desired. She considers it an honor and a privilege to be holding space for those that feel called to do this type of healing work, therefore anything that comes to surface is kept private and confidential. Ceremony is brought to an official closing similar to how it began with crystalized ginger and giving of thanks.

Releasing of energy is also common for individuals; yawning, burping, clearing the throat/coughing, laughing, and crying are all familiar ways this can happen. Although Christina generally lies down, she invites you to move into any position that feels most comfortable for you and allow your body to move in any motion it feels called to do. You will usually hear Christina yawning or burping, sometimes gagging. You may notice her body twitching or moving in unusual patterns or motions, for that is how she personally moves and releases energy.

This varies for each and every individual. Some clients may need a few months integration, while others may need a more intensive series of ceremonies. Spirit gives direct input to whatever is needed. The integration process is very important so you can fully embody all the healing and information you have received from the higher realms and dimensions. More and more will continue to unfold as you live your life. Most people generally know when the time is right and they feel the calling for the medicine once again.

This is the process of introducing the newest version of yourself back into your everyday reality. Most people can experience an “afterglow” a few days following ceremony, but as time continues, other realizations and emotions can unfold. A solid grounding practice is helpful. This can be done by getting outside and into Mother Nature, or a regular meditation practice. Journaling is also a great way to process information. Pay attention to dreams, for Spirit can still reach you through them. Continue to be mindful of the things you put into your body. Enjoy synchronicities that may appear and have faith that this is Spirit rather than your mind “making things up”.

Having a support system of individuals in your life where you feel safe sharing your experiences can be incredibly helpful and clarifying. Talk therapy is also great for processing and integrating information. Energy work can help things continue to move and release (which Christina also provides as a service). The integration process is unique to each individual and can unfold in various different ways. Be proud of yourself for taking a step into the unknown and investing within your own self worth.
