Shamanic rituals I've learned in the Andes Mountains

In a world that moves fast, the ancient rhythms still whisper calling us back to what truly matters. At Live in the Remix, we honor the beauty of ancestral rituals that help us realign, remember, and return home to ourselves.

I'm Michelle, Dutch by birth, mountain soul by choice. I live between the wild green of the Colombian mountains and the flat, honest streets close to Rotterdam. Over the past years, I’ve walked sacred trails in Peru and Colombia, sat in silence with indigena, and remembered a truth I think many of us feel deep down:

We’ve lost our rhythm.

‍
But it’s not gone, we can reclaim it and we can through the rituals our ancestors are doing for ages. They connect with nature, they live by nature, their breath, their words, their actions. They are aligned and respectful, so they are living in the moment. In the now, with joy in acceptance of everything what is.

Here are three of the most powerful shamanic rituals to awaken your spirit and deepen your connection to Pachamama. Described shortly, bu the tradition of it goes far beyond this few words.

🌙 1. The Shamanic Dream Ritual
This sacred night ceremony invites you to open the dream world as a portal of healing and clarity. Using plant allies, breath, and intention, we activate lucid dreaming and call in guidance from the unseen realms. Dreams become messages from your soul, your ancestors, and the universe itself. By asking for guidance and setting intentions before we go to sleep we can awaken the dream ritual to discover what it is that we truly need guidance in.

🌺 2. The Earth Mandala Ritual
A meditative, hands-on practice where you create a mandala from herbs, petals, leaves, and earth treasures. Each placement is a prayer. You enter silence, connect with the elements, and honor the cycle of life. This ritual awakens your creativity and brings profound grounding. It’s beauty as offering. You can collect the items respectfully from the nature around you. It doesn't have to look beautiful, it's already a beauty by itself. This sacred ritual.

🍃 3. The Gratitude Ritual with 3 Leaves
Simple yet deeply potent. I've leard this ritual from a shaman in Ibiza. It helped me recover from trauma and now I use it as a daily ritual. Holding three sacred leaves (such as coca or bay), you name three things you're grateful for one per leaf and then return them to the Earth or offer them with intention. This daily act realigns your energy with abundance and the flow of life. It's an act of gratitude which makes you appreciate what is and say thanks to the life for all that comes your way.

These rituals have deep meanings and many ways of practicing. I describe these rituals in the REMIX Your Inner Algorithm Workbook. Here you'll find a remix of rituals that suits what you need most right now. Want some extra guidance? I am here to support you on jour journey.
