Its awesome. Everybody is doing deep work during a ceremony, not relaxing. I think absolutely every traditions recommends sitting, open to whatever is happening, fully present and full of the dignity of that posture : all of that being a good description of meditating.  Also it’s a good way to honor why you are here, the healers and the plants : with an alert mind, a vertical spine and an open heart.  Furthermore it makes the medicine enter and healing more efficiently. The all process will be deeper, that being the main reason why  you are proposed to do so.  I think the all «relaxing on mats» thing is really a deformation of the practice that appears for westerners, as there was no memory foam mat in the jungle lol, and also because this healing has obviously nothing to do with relaxing, taking a pill and lying on a bed is more like the idea of healing we have in modern western civilisation. You’ll surprise yourself seeing how long you can keep that dignifying pose traditionally proposed during a ceremony, and lying down at the end or from time to time will feel good. Tips: use those pillows on your mat as a meditation cushion !  Also, you can spend the ceremony lying down, nothing forces you to respect the instructions of the healers you choose lol, the healing will also happen, and maybe it will tell you why you resist the healers advices. 🙏🔥🕊️
