Shamanic Healing

Shamanic healing, as practiced by the Q’ero medicine men and women of Peru, is a natural, non-intrusive and practical form of energy healing. The Q'ero nation, whose medicine people are described as The Masters of Living Energy by Joan Parisi Wilcox in her book of the same title, are the direct descendants of the Inka. Living high in the Andes, the Q'ero medicine men and women have preserved and retained the Inka healing practices in their original form.

Simultaneously contemporary and ancient in its expression, Shamanic healing aims to bring into balance an individual's entire state of being through practices which are friendly and familiar to body, mind, and soul.

Our life and daily circumstances are often changing and unfolding at a pace over which we may feel we have little control. As we process information and meet new challenges on a continuous basis, our creativity and self expression become bound up in dealing with that which is before us, rather than flowing freely from us as an expression of our essential Self. This reactive mode of existence causes tension to build up at various levels of our being, which over time can have a detrimental effect on our health and overall feeling of contentment. We may feel we are on a treadmill from which we wish to step down, but may believe we do not know how to. Pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medication generally only mitigate the symptoms and discomfort and rarely provide resolution in the long term.

With Shamanic healing, a person's energy field (luminous body) is cleansed of the built-up tension and energies and imprints from painful emotions, disruptive thoughts and trauma. This cleansing releases the individual to engage in life in a more vital and energetic manner. As more authentic emotions and states of being emerge, greater creativity and alignment with the essential Self take root. Consequently, the person has more conscious choice and control both of the direction in which their life is heading and how they live it.

Shamanic healing brings the individual's energies back into harmony at an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level. As with all energy healing, Shamanic healing can be carried out in person, or at a distance.

Another important aspect of Shamanic healing is the concept of Ayni - sacred reciprocity. As we receive from life, we reciprocate by giving back through simple and meaningful offerings. With our offerings, we express our gratitude for what we have received and we invite abundance, health, love and anything else we desire into our life. This simple act of conscious offering and expressing of gratitude - of aligning ourselves with the sacred, is performed through a despacho. The despacho ceremony is our personal communication with the divine and is performed not only when we are desiring of something, but also when we already have it. Through it we validate what we have received, as reciprocity and balance are at the core of universal energetics.

The Munay Ki are rites and initiations derived from the teachings of this particular lineage as well as those of the Laika medicine men and women of pre-Inka times. These rites are energetic transmissions which empower an individual who is interested in developing his or her own healing powers and acquiring the wisdom to becoming a steward and keeper of our planet and all life on it.
