What is a plática? A plática is a heart-to-heart talk/consultation between the client and the practitioner. During a plática, the client can talk about all of the things weighing on their heart, mind, and spirit. It’s a time for them to unburden their heart. The client tells the practitioner anything they feel is related to what they are going through. During this session, the practitioners job is to listen and ask questions to get to the heart of the matter. Some of the questions might be related to sleep, diet, exercise, but also things that might seem unrelated. This can help to give the practitioner a fuller picture of what is going on. Based on the plática, the practitioner will then come up with a plan to be executed in future sessions. You must schedule a plática prior to any limpia work unless already discussed with the practitioner (me).
Energetic Cleansings (Limpias): These include a variety of modalities from Curanderismo, a blending of Indigenous Mesoamerican, African, Spanish, Native American, and contemporary traditions as a result of the colonization, slavery, and cultural exchange in the Americas. This healing system is complex and addresses the holistic needs of the individual and their circumstances. First, we have a heart-to-heart talk (a plática) that functions as a consultation, then we will decide on a variety of approaches that may include the reiki or tarot mentioned above as well as other treatments from curanderismo traditions. Limpias are cleansings using herbs, flowers, eggs, and sometimes crystals that are used to cleanse the energetic field of a person. Sometimes they are used in divinatory ways in order to get more information, sometimes they help to break stagnant patterns, create new beginnings, heal old wounds.
