Shamanism Meets Luxury in Mexico’s Yucatán – Chablé

Coming soon a personal visit… Just a whisper of meeting a shaman in Guatemala or a New Year’s ritual shamanic cleanse amid a wafting cloud of white smoke fanned with a branch of sage by a man wearing buckskin and feathers sets my heart afire! And if you must know, yes, I have enjoyed both experiences.

Si, I am a believer in spirits and holistic wellness and from what I’ve heard the newly opened Chablé outside of Merida fulfills in more ways than one. My intention is to absorb and indulge at this secluded sanctuary in the Yucatán.

The spa is a word-class facility with a uniquely holistic approach. It is built around a natural “Cenote”, which serves as an extension of the spa. Chablé offers 38 casitas and two expansive villas. Each casita is purposely situated within the lush gardens where nature can be enjoyed to its fullest.https://i0.wp.com/chableresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13.jpg?fit=1800%2C1200

Mayan cosmology views the entire cosmos as interconnected parts, which represent the process of Human development and evolution. Even today Mayan healers know the intricate influence of the cosmic bodies and movement of the stars on our every day lives. The Mayan calendars were designed with great accuracy to represent the entire cosmos as interconnected parts, which represented the process of Human development and evolution. They looked to the sky not for investigation, but for justifying the world around them. The mystery and amazement inspired by the heavens is alive at Chablé as ceremonial sites are distributed throughout the Spa where guests explore their own relationship to the cosmos through awareness and mindfulness. The Spa at Chablé celebrates the celestial choreography in its ritual sites such as the Temazcal and Opening Ceremonial site, allowing for a means to interpret life cycles, patterns and influences. Practicing Mayan traditions and healing connections, the Chablé Spa team guides the guest into a journey of uncomplicated but sacred teachings about the interconnections of life, the simplicity that lives in all things, and the pleasure of healthy living.https://i0.wp.com/chableresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/slide-casitas09.jpg?fit=1800%2C1200

Headed to the Yucatán soon!

My favorite Italian phrase, perchè no? is easily translated to Spanish- ¿Por qué no?
