Endowed with a Cenote and a unique landscape in the middle of an abundant forest, Chablé’s true beauty unfolds. A luxury hotel full of magic and rooted in history.
The surrounding environment puts guests in touch with hundreds of medicinal plants used since ancient times by herbalists, J’Men and X’Men, (Priests and Priestesses) midwives and bonesetters.
The plants grow alone in the jungle, waiting to be discovered to provide wisdom of healing to those who seek it. Some of them are strategically taken to the Cenote area, where the work of spiritual purification for healing begins.
In the midst of the subtle aroma of copal smoke, the Medicine Woman purifies the spirit and the bonds it has, so that clarity can be found in a moment of finding its own medicine. After a deep connection beyond the senses, from the soul to soul dialogue, she receives the instruction from the subtle worlds, about what medicines are appropriate for that moment. Together, with the consultant, they go in search of the tools to find the right medicine from a variety of aromatic herbs, trees, flowers, barks, roots or sap, to mud, stones or elements.
The decision of what the medicines are does not depend on a protocol to be followed, but in the directives of the connection of the soul with the healing itself in that moment. The experience is about finding the medicine in our surroundings and asking permission from the guardians of nature: The aluxes. Once granted, the consultant prepares the herbal medicine together with the Grandmother of medicine, grinding it in the molcajete, cutting it with her fingers or preparing them in poultice.
Sometimes the medicine asks to be used in an outdoor medicinal bath, prepared with the same herbs boiled in a clay pot, taking energy from the environment and nourishes the senses, allowing to be part of a magical experience.
Sometimes mud asks to be anointed, mixed with herbs or simply dried in the sun. In some healings, the snail asks to be sounded so that its vibration is heard in the cells and transforms the energy of something stagnant, as emotions can be. Or the feather of an eagle consecrated for healing, clears the negative energy that it carries.
The song of the birds, the connection with nature, the sounds, tastes and experiences, are the object that heals the life of those who come to seek it. The legacy our ancestors left us was to connect with nature and the universe with an open heart.
It is a unique experience to understand that medicine is not in the chemical elements that a plant can have, but in the complete essence of connection that everything in nature has its own dialogue.
