Sananga Eye Drops Protocol
Overview
Sananga is a traditional eye drop medicine made from the roots and bark of the Tabernaemontana genus, primarily used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon basin. It is known for its powerful effects on vision and its ability to cleanse and heal on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Sananga is often used in shamanic rituals and ceremonies to enhance perception, clear negative energies, and prepare individuals for other plant medicine ceremonies.
Components
Sananga Preparation
Source: Sananga is prepared from the roots and bark of the Tabernaemontana undulata plant. The preparation process involves grinding the plant material and extracting its essence into liquid.
Quality: High-quality Sananga is typically sourced from indigenous healers or reputable suppliers who follow traditional preparation methods to ensure potency and purity.
Ceremonial Setting
Facilitators: Experienced shamans or facilitators guide the Sananga ceremony, creating a safe and sacred environment. Facilitators are knowledgeable about the traditional uses and effects of Sananga.
Environment: Ceremonies are conducted in a calm, comfortable setting, often with elements like candles, incense, and calming music to create a sacred atmosphere.
Participant Preparation
Dietary Guidelines: Participants may be advised to follow specific nutritional guidelines before the ceremony, such as avoiding heavy meals, alcohol, and caffeine to purify the body and mind.
Intention Setting: Participants set personal intentions for their experience, focusing on what they seek to heal, understand, or gain insight into. This is often done through meditation or prayer.
The Sananga Ceremony
Opening Ritual: The ceremony begins with an opening ritual, which may include grounding exercises, prayers, and invocations to create a sacred space and call in protective spirits or guides.
Application: Sananga is administered as eye drops. Participants lie comfortably, and a small drop of Sananga is placed in each eye. The facilitator guides the participants through the process, helping them to remain calm and focused.

This is followed by a period of intense clarity and heightened perception. The total duration of the experience is typically 20 to 30 minutes.
Guided Experience: Facilitators provide continuous support, helping participants navigate discomfort and guiding them through the experience. Techniques such as breathwork and meditation may be used to enhance the journey.
Healing and Connection: The Sananga ceremony promotes healing on multiple levels. Participants may experience emotional release, spiritual visions, and a deep connection to themselves and the natural world.
Integration Practices
Post-Ceremony Reflection: Following the ceremony, participants engage in integration practices such as journaling, group discussions, and one-on-one sessions with the facilitator to process and incorporate the insights gained.
Holistic Support: Additional practices such as yoga, meditation, and nature walks can support the integration process and enhance overall well-being.
