The Mesa and being Mesa Carrier.

The Mesa is a transportable alter which represent your personal power. It's an external representation of the inside of the person. Like a map on which energies and personality the person has. It is used for ceremonies and for healing work. It is not in it self the personal power it is only a representation of it.

The Mesa is made out of a piece of clothes, and it folded in a specific way to keep it closed. Inside the Mesa there is different khuyas, which is holy objects or stone. Each khuya represent a specific power, it can be from different places that the person has worked on or some that has been giving to you from your teacher. The object can have more than one power or connection at the same time.

There is a lot of different ways to build your Mesa, and for the most times people have a teacher to guide you in the beginning. But usually you will have stones from the four elements, Wind, Water, Sun and Pacha Mama (mother earth). Also you will balance it between male and female energies. The Mesa will be in constant changes, as you are.

During a workshop I let my Mesa go around in the circle and one of the participations said that she felt like it was alive. She was able to feel the pulse and the vibration from it. Another person felt like she was about to get strangled when she held my Mesa, and because I use it for healings it might have different effect on different people. It is like with your person some people get attracted to you and some don't, and it is not because there is anything wrong, you just have different vibrations.

To be a Mesa Carrier for me simply means that you have a Mesa and that you work with it. Other people have different opinions what it means to be Mesa Carrier, but always listen to yourself and what makes sense to you.     

Be need you can see a picture of my Mesa and how it looks when it is folded.
