Whether you are a practicing death doula or a layperson facing the task of caring for a loved one, Death Nesting is the resource needed to rediscover the knowledge that was once abandoned by modern society. When we acquaint ourselves with the naturalness of death and invite it back into our awareness, we can restore the balance and meaning of all of life, taking nothing for granted and treating all beings with care. Preparing the Nest Ceremonial Intention for the Inner Nest You are creating a sacred space, a precious nest where the dying person can be held. A space where an individual will inhale and exhale their last breath. A space where a spirit or soul will exit a body. You are holding the energetic space for this transition as much as the room itself is sheltering you from the elements outside. A nice statement of intention: May this sacred space of transition remain safe, and in pure and eternal love. Mind, Spirit, and Emotion in the Dying Process Psychedelics and Virtual Reality Indigenous cultures around the world have practiced healing rituals with psychedelic plants and fungi for millennia. The use of these medicines offered perspectives not otherwise seen or felt, and the medicines were respected as great teachers. Today, scientific research increasingly supports the use of psilocybin in easing chronic depression and anxiety at end of life, particularly in cancer patients. Psilocybin is becoming more widely available medically, as are other psychedelics, and an increasing number of people are partaking and benefiting. In these instances, each individual’s experience should be supported with education and preparation, correct dosage, a statement of intention, and careful supervision. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a credible resource for information. Herbs for Remembrance and Ceremony Plants, herbs, resins, and ceremony are ways to connect you to your ancestral roots. It’s never too late to make an offering in this way. The following is just a brief glimpse into the rich world of postmortem herbal care and rituals. Let this open your mind to explore more. • Lavender essential oil and the Thieves blend both smell wonderful, are antibacterial, and can be used to bathe and oil the body after death. • Marigolds are often found in abundance at rites of passage in India. • Garlic braids and bunches of yarrow are used for protection in Celtic pagan tradition as one travels to the other side. • Rosemary is an herb long used for remembrance in the Mediterranean.
