Summary of "ARTE RITUAL 1ª parte / Victor Brossa, Nicolás Pauccar, Miguel Valls y Yolanda Soria"

Overview

A roundtable with Victor Brossa, Nicolás Pauccar, Miguel Valls and Yolanda Soria (with Luis filming) explores “ritual art”: treating artistic practice and everyday actions as conscious, sacred rituals that reprogram personal symbolism and vibration. Ritual is presented not as mere ceremony or reliance on external authorities, but as a deliberate language to speak to the unconscious. Through rituals, initiations and material tools, practitioners can grant themselves permission to act, concentrate intention and transform entrenched life-programs. Over time, form becomes optional as the process is internalized.

Core idea

Ritual = a language to the unconscious: a method to change internal programming by combining symbolic, energetic and material action.
Effective ritual work links three planes: symbolic, energetic and concrete/material, and requires respecting timing and process.
The goal is progressive internalization: use forms and objects as training crutches, then shed them as the state becomes embodied.

Three-level model

Symbolic plane
- Change internal symbolism through images, words and metaphors.
- Visualizations and symbolic acts speak directly to unconscious meaning.
Energetic plane
- Alter vibration with sound, intention, breath and subtle energetic techniques.
Concrete/material plane
- Act in the physical world: objects, repetition, visible forms and practical actions.

Use all three in combination rather than focusing on only one.

Artistic techniques and creative processes

Treat daily acts (cooking, cleaning, brushing teeth, meeting friends) as intentional, sacred actions that shape inner life.
Use symbolism to reprogram the unconscious (for example, visualize and depict a specific job to shift a “not-working” program).
Initiations and rituals grant permission to the unconscious to accept new roles and skills.
Embodiment and role-play: act, breathe and move as the person you want to become.
Start with material forms/tools (robes, altars, objects) and, through repetition and mastery, progressively remove dependency on them.
Employ everyday arts (painting, music, dance) to visualize, feel and manifest aims.
Use “power objects” (stones, a painted image, a designated sacred chair) as focal points for intention.

Practical steps and techniques

Create a sacred spot at home (even a single chair or corner) and enter it regularly to center and ground.
Build a small altar or dedicate an object as a focal point for intention and ritual work.
Visualize concretely: imagine specific scenes or details (job description, life scene) and represent them in art or on an altar.
Symbolize outcomes with small actions (e.g., tap an object three times to call health) to communicate with the unconscious.
Plant intention physically (touch a stone and “blow” it, or bury it) to root imagined outcomes in the world.
Combine levels when working on a problem:
1. Start with symbolic/ritual work (set intention, visualization).
2. Complement with energetic techniques (sound, breath, subtle work).
3. Support with physical/medical or practical actions.
Use repetition and ritual frequency (even sparse — weekly or biweekly) to integrate new patterns; small consistent doses beat nothing.
Seek initiation or a formal ritual when you need “permission” to adopt a new role (e.g., Reiki or specialist initiations).
Use art, dance and role-play to embody desired states — act as if you already are the person you want to become.
Treat tools (robes, wands, cups, paintbrushes) as training crutches: grant them power to gain confidence, then progressively reclaim that power internally.
Be patient with timing: long-formed patterns or illnesses may lag after symbolic or energetic work.
Avoid externalizing responsibility: rituals should empower self-authority rather than transfer power to objects or authorities.

Materials, objects and symbolic tools

Small altar / sacred chair or corner
Stones (for planting, carrying intention, burying)
Paint and canvases (to paint visions)
Wand / staff / chalice / robe (symbolic tools or training crutches)
Sound (voice, words, music)
A regular repetition practice (ritual schedule)

Cautions and pitfalls

New-age shortcuts can fail if the full sequence (symbolic → energetic → physical) or timing is ignored.
Rituals performed from dogma or dependence on external authorities tend to hand power away instead of fostering internalization.
Relying only on visible form can help belief but also create dependence; the aim is to move beyond form.
Expect lag times: processes formed over years may need time after symbolic/energetic interventions to resolve physically.
Cultural programming often prevents people from granting themselves permission; rituals can help but must lead to internal agency.

Illustrative micro-techniques and examples

Clean dishes as a ritual of cleansing the heart (reframe mundane acts as sacred).
Paint a detailed image of the life you want and place it in your sacred space; revisit it regularly.
Tap an object three times to call a particular quality (e.g., health).
Hold or bury a stone after whispering or visualizing a specific wish or intention.
Use a designated chair or corner once a week to reconnect and center.

Key metaphors and concepts

Ritual = language to the unconscious.
Objects = training crutches whose efficacy depends on the credit you give them.
Human development in cycles (e.g., seven-year references): early stages often rely on material forms; later stages internalize and release form.
Being a creator: awareness shifts a person from passive program receiver to active co-creator.
