Rose Dieta 2020

Dieta is a powerful and ancient nature-based practice.

It is the ancient practice of receiving the knowledge and deep healing of powerful curative plants by imbibing their medicine over a period of time- in the case of our Dieta it will be for 10 days, or for 21 days.
That’s up to you.

During Dieta, our channels of perception are opened, and a more direct communication with the Sacred Within and the spirit of the plants is possible.
The longer you diet, the deeper you go…

How does it work?

On Day 1 we meet in ceremony with Maestra Reyna on Spaceship Zoom to open our Dieta together – and in this ceremony, I will explain the process of dieta, then you will set your intention for your dieta, and we will drink a tea made of our Dieta plant, Rose, and receive her in meditative silence.

The next day, in our own time and home, we will each prepare a simple baño (“banyo”) (“bath” in Spanish) of Rose and bless/wash ourselves with this preparation.  (basically, involves putting some petals in a bucket and then later washing in this preparation.  Very simple).

We will do this baño daily for a number of days.

We will also drink the tea preparation of the plant every day.

We will meet on Zoom every 5 days until we close the Dieta.

In addition to the above, during the period of your dieta you make a commitment to:

  • One Hour… enjoying being outside in nature (even if it’s only your balcony on a rainy day)
  • One session… of meditation and prayer per day.
    If you are already doing that – great.  If not, now’s the time to begin!  5 mins is a fine start.
  • Detox… from digital entertainment: movies, fb, twitter etc. Its ok to see a movie once in a while, or to use the screen to communicate with friends, or to research and educate yourself …but mindless habitual digital engagement is off-limits, I will explain why when we meet if you like.  Why not be creative or rest instead?
  • No sex…or self-pleasuring. I know, boring right! I will also explain why if you remember to ask me on Zoom!
  • Where possible the invitation is to consciously dedicate more time for art, crafts, nature walks, gardening, journaling, fishing, dancing, ceremony, singing, journaling, dream journaling, visioning, creative writing etc. A dedicated time for your Soul!
  • Observe the dietary restrictions below.

Dietary Restrictions:

In order to create the right conditions in our body for the work of our dieta plant, we observe the following…

  • No pork or red meat
  • No alcohol or chemical recreational drugs
  • No caffeine or stimulants
  • No dairy
  • No sugar (natural honey and fruit etc ok if desired)
  • No fiery spices, onion, garlic
  • Avoid processed foods in general – bread, pasta, things that come in packets from factories
  • Go super lightly on oil and salt

Wholesome organic veggies, grains, beans, chicken, fish, eggs, fruits and high-quality water is the way to go – in whichever way you prefer for your body.

Sitting with the Mother…

We will NOT formally be sitting with the Mother during the dieta (some dietas include this aspect, some do not.)
However you ARE encouraged during this dieta to sit with teacher plants such as sacred cacao, any sacred fun-guys you may have on hand, rhape, intentional and ceremonial use of sacred herb, etc.
Chemicals are NOT permitted during your dieta.

That’s the low-down.
Basically putting ourselves into a formal sacred retreat together with our beautiful wise Mother Nature guiding our retreat…

Post-Dieta Guidelines

After dieta is closed, we start to gradually re-introduce the foods and activities we have avoided during our dieta.

This is the part of dieta that requires the most skill, maturity and discipline!
It is as important as the dieta itself.
We will talk about this when we meet online.

Ideally of course, after dieta, we take full advantage of the great opportunity we have created for ourselves to modify our relationship to the substances that bring down our vibes.

Here are the timeline guidelines to re-introduce some of the following into your life again as desired…

  • Back to your normal oil and salt intake – incrementally, starting a few days after we close the Dieta
  • Introducing dairy, bread, pasta – incrementally, starting at day 5.
  • Introducing red meat, alcohol, spices, caffeine, sugar – incrementally at day 10
  • Introducing sexual intimacy and pork – Day 15

Introducing our Dieta plant:

ROSE is the plant we will be dieting.

It is a plant chosen for her powerful protective energy, for her remarkable power to steady, strengthen, heal and awaken the heart.

Here are more details on the long history and amazing health benefits of Rose… https://amberfreda.com/history-and-healing-property-of-roses/

Once your place in Dieta is approved you will need to source organic rose petals, which can be purchased inexpensively from your local health food shop or online.
