Shamanic Session with Staci Tye: Underworld Extraction

I met with Staci and we talked a bit about what was going on.  Basically, I felt great. I had just returned from a weeklong class / retreat and felt recharged and awesome. But one day in the class I felt really tired and I skipped the exercise that day.  It felt like something was up, but I couldn't place my finger on it.

So I chose a stone from her mesa (her medicine bundle) and blew into it my intention for healing and releasing what I needed to get free of. I lay down on her massage table and focused on my breathing as she called in the directions and opened sacred space.

She found that the root chakra was spinning counterclockwise and so was affected by this issue. While she was checking things out, the energetic head of a serpent poked his head up from within me and looked at her, as if only the eyes were above water and they were sizing her up.

When she began the healing, a guide told her that she needed to do an underworld extraction. It said that this would be very good for me... a way to open space within my energy field for the experience that I was approaching. She asked the guide if it would accompany her and it handed her a larger crystal and said that yes it would, but she'd need to use this.

So she and the guide went to the underworld. They called on the gatekeeper, who showed up strangely as a preppy college guy with blond hair and an oxford shirt.  When she asked if it would be a good day for her to enter his domain, he said primly, "Yes. Please come in. I think you'll find that everything here is exactly fine."  This struck her as odd (the gatekeeper had never appeared that way before, nor talked with such stilted phrasing) and false.  But she decided to go in.

She asked the guide where she should start.  He said to go to the chamber. (Chamber of wounds?) 

In the chamber was a person resembling me bound by the coils of a huge serpent. The snake was not choking or strangling me; it just bound me tightly. My doppleganger said to her:  I'm okay. It's been like this for a while. I'm used to it."  She didn't think it was okay. The serpent was very powerful and unwilling to budge.

So Staci called on help and a line of elders walked in on each side of the serpent.  The snake couldn't resist their presence, and so began to uncoil.

Staci asked Mother Earth (Pachamama) if it would be okay for her to release the snake into the earth.  The mother said that yes, in fact, she needed the energy of that snake to create a crystal that she required.

So the elders escorted the serpent out of the chamber and it dissolved into the earth.

After it dissolved, she connected to source and brought light into my root chakra to eliminate any affinity I might have that might cause that binding energy to return. She watched the light enter my body and said that usually it comes in as a golden light and spirals around the chakra as it sinks into the body, but this time it came in as golden light and changed into a plant, a vine. It was definitely a medicine plant, not simply a vine.

Then she went down to check in again on the chambers to make sure that the underworld chambers were clean, and saw golden bubbles, shimmering and moving across all surfaces.

Finally, she was instructed to hold her finger to my 3rd eye to represent the physical shift that I would now source directly from the 3rd eye rather than from a lower chakra.
