Hello hivers, today I come to tell you about a shocking experience of the last walk I did with my faithful friend Dani. With her we always go to activities that nourish our soul, creativity, inspiration and art. This time we went to the museum of pre-Columbian art located in Plaza de Armas, because there is the exhibition of Shamanism, to my surprise it was an encounter with my inner self.
When visiting the Museo de Arte Precolombino, you buy a ticket for $1.5, put your things in a locker and start the tour, either in a group with guides or on your own. Dani and I did it alone, I was very impressed by the architecture and although I would have liked to have more photographic record I got so deep into the exhibition that I didn't feel it was necessary at the moment.
As its name indicates, the permanent exhibition is about pre-Columbian art, with sculptures, paintings, textile samples and many tools found at the time, each one with its own description. Always highlighting the Chilean culture, which I find incredible and above all admirable its conservation and dedication to the study of its roots from a very early date.
However, for me it was very important the shamanic exposition, because, for some time I have been practicing herbs in tea, incense and other aromatic herbs, I affirm that my grandmother taught me that, and I bet that many here did the same. To my surprise, the female presence was the protagonist, my soul was grateful for that, turning off the cell phone, bowing and admiring each of the explanations.
Each space of the expo was dedicated to herbs, tools, history, procedure and even clothing, but what most caught my attention was the room where they projected a video of a shaman with several women in a session, with the prayer that you see there in the images, for a moment I passed without paying attention, but when I saw the written prayer a tear of tranquility sprang up and it was inevitable to make a bow.
In that prayer that I share with you today, I could feel the embrace of my grandmother, great-grandmother, mother and all the important women in my family, that I honor today, and for whom I also decided to heal my lineage. This exhibition for me was to understand and confirm that I am on the right path, to choose me, my art, my creativity and above all to reconnect with all the infinite source of feminine energy in me.
From all this I assimilated that it was good to learn to be gentle with myself, that it is good to believe in the power of the elements, that to connect it is good to disconnect with everything that no longer resonates with the now and with the tomorrow I want. It is clear that it is a path of constant learning but I am not alone and that is what life is for. Thanks hivers for the company and support if you made it this far.
