The art of the Mesa



The center of your mesa is your axis mundi, the connection point.
We are creating a space between the worlds. The mesa intersects then with the upper, middle and lower worlds and allows us to navigate them all.

To understand yourself, look at your mesa, but with the eyes of a poet. You must let go of words and feel into your mesa to understand the dialog that resides there. It speaks to your heart, to another you that sleeps within.

The beads then, are the vessel, the container. What happens within is the happening of your life. Each stone informs us.
We change our mesa to change our world.

We divine, we declare, we manifest via the mesa. We come to understand ourselves, and our place in the world.
Each stone is a healer. Each stone has a power that we have called to us through the work.
The stones are cu-yas, sweet babies, parts of ourselves, conduits to nature and elemental, primal power.
Each stone helps us hold, create and navigate our own unconscious.

The mesa then, is the healer's body. It is our sacred source to the universe, and port of communication from the universe.
It is not to be stepped into lightly, and yet it is. You are calling up your own deep resources. Do it with laughter and joy. Do it with innocence and wonder. Let yourself play.
