Tobacco Purge
Tobacco is a powerful, wise plant, recognized by cultures all over the world for its strong spirit. In the Amazon it is known as the King Plant, and is used by many healers for its cleansing, protective and restructuring properties.
The tobacco purge is a cleansing ceremony. Tobacco leaves are prepared as a tea, which the participant will drink, causing them to vomit, or possibly go to the bathroom. It is not a psychedelic experience, though some folks with heightened sensitivity may experience subtle visions or feel the presence of the spirit of the plant.
The cleansing, or “purge” is not only a physical one. Tobacco works on many levels of our being; energetic - mental - spiritual - emotional - physical.
As we physically purge, the wisdom of this plant is scanning through all of our energetic bodies, searching for toxicity and incongruence. When we release, many energies are also released through this physical purge.
For this reason, this kind of ceremony is especially effective for people with addictions (to substances, mental tendencies etc) as it cleanses us out on every level, while simultaneously restructuring parts of our body and energetic field that have been damaged through destructive behaviors.
It is also effective for releasing emotional pain that we may be hanging onto consciously or subconsciously.
Tobacco also has a strong protective quality. In this way, it helps to free us from these energies, surrounding us with a protective energy, helping to keep at bay old patterns and behaviors.
Together with our own dedication to improvement, the tobacco purge serves as a powerful tool to liberate, strengthen, and heal us. It is recommended for anyone who feels that this experience would serve them.
