The Nine Personal Fires Training
June 19th - July 1st, 2012 in Deer Mountain (Northern CA near Mt Shasta)
The spiritual guides and teachers of the Maya have maintained their ceremonial initiations through a series of individual sacred Mayan Fire Ceremonies. This initiation is dedicated to the preservation of our ceremonial life, to be shared with initiates from All of our Peoples. We have been asked to share the fire in this way so that we can create powerful, lasting spiritual alliances and work toward the preservation of our Mother Earth and all our Relations by sharing sacred ways that individuals can use for their own healing and empowerment. This process does not make anyone an Aj Q'ij (ceremonial leader), and is to only be used personally. This does not give anyone permission to lead these ceremonies for others!
The nine ceremonial fires are designed to introduce the individual into sacred rites and to learn about the sacred Mayan Fire Ceremony. This is an experiential teaching. Specifically, it is designed to create conditions that facilitate incredible healing and to reach greater depths of the Spirit and psyche, by bringing great spiritual moments of connectedness with the Spirit and deep truth. The Nine Fires are designed to heal, purify, empower, and teach. The fires can give an overview of different experiences that can be supernatural or allow in incredible powers that will help us through our lives. These fires are transformative by nature, and often challenges come in to test the endurance, commitment, and beliefs of the individual in its relationship to Creator, the elements, and all life. Like life itself, this process takes us through all emotions and experiences, and the commitment is to be flexible: stay present with what comes up, observe it, and let it go, so that by the time we complete the ninth fire, we are ready to birth into a new way of being.
These are the sacred Mystery Schools of the Maya that create spiritual and community leaders, spiritual guides, and ceremonial leaders. The training is to focus on personal healing, self-empowerment, and to open spiritual doors that can guide us for the rest of our lives.
