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

1. Symbolic plane

   • Change internal symbolism through images, words and metaphors.
   • Visualizations and symbolic acts speak directly to unconscious meaning.

2. Energetic plane

   • Alter vibration with sound, intention, breath and subtle energetic techniques.

3. 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.
