munay ki i love you

The Munay-Ki are the nine great rites of initiation of the medicine way given from the Inca tribe of South America. The word 'Munay" means “I love you” or "be as thou art.” The Munay-Ki are the nine gates that heal us and transform our human energy field into that of homo luminous.

The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about this time in history as a period of great transformation, a time to make an extraordinary difference in the world. they foretell of a new human appearing on the planet – a person of wisdom and power who lives free of fear and resides in their eternal nature; accepting stewardship for all creation. The Munay-Ki are the codes for the new human are delivered in the form of energetic transmissions.  The nine initiations of the Munay-Ki have were until recently only for the high wisdom keepers of the Americas, but now, the Inca want to share these rites with the rest of the world. these rites are not only stages of initiation, but perhaps steps for the evolution of humanity. As nations fight for bits of territory and battle over land, we must find the wisdom to create peace among all peoples. As our space telescopes show us images of a vast and immeasurable universe, we must find a human story that is inclusive of the stars. And as our ability to destroy the world increases, we are called to step up to the task of assuming stewardship for all creation.

The rites of the Munay-Ki are based on initiatory practices of the Inca shamans of the Andes and the Amazon. The training of the Earth Keepers has an energetic component, a series of initiations that help us to develop a new architecture in our luminous energy field. The rites anchor each of the critical junctures in the process of becoming homo luminous.  The nine rites then, are the sum total of attunements that we go through as we transit from the body of a human to the body of angels.

I took my Munay-Ki nine rites during the summer of 2008 at a.w.e. therapies  in Barrie, Ontario with Lorinda Weatherall.  It was a very cool experience.  Every Wednesday night for 9 weeks, a small group of people  would gather around a campfire and drum while each member was given one band by the masters.  Some weeks after getting a band I was emotional, some I was on a 'happy' high, others I felt aggression and anger.

The very first rite, for me,  was a trip.  To get a rite, one must sit, eyes closed while a master works around you on your auric fields.  As I sat eyes closed, my mind wandered to another time, when I was at the time I thought Asian, but could be Peruvian too; that hard chiseled tanned look with narrow eyes.  A group of men, me included were sitting around a fire late at night in a tent, laughing, big yellow tooth-missing kinda smiles.  And one many looked at me and said "Welcome Back.  We have been waiting".  When Lorinda was giving me the 8th rite,I had another amazing experience, but this time it was of energy surging through my body, so fast, so full of love, it knocked the wind out of me.

Since getting my Munay-Ki done, I can't say whether it greatly effected my life or not.  But it was definitely an experience.  However, my mother, who came with me, was greatly affected and has spent the last year years working closely with other Munay-Ki masters such as Fred James and is working towards becoming a shaman. Her last adventure took her to the wilds of Algonquin park for a Shamanism retreat

These rites were first given to ancient teachers by angelic beings, and now are passed on from teacher to student. When an earth keeper gifts the Munay-Ki to a student, it is the lineage of luminous beings that transmits itself, that leaps from the head of the master to the student as they lean into each other and touch, forehead to forehead. to transfer this energetic information, the earth keeper simply maintains sacred space and embodies the vibration of the level she wants to transmit. While you can’t undergo these initiations on your own, once you receive them, the rites are yours to transmit to others as you wish. But there is one caveat. the rites are offered free of charge. You may charge a fee to coach a client during the changes that they will go through as they receive the rites, but not for the Munay-Ki itself.

In essence, the rites are about stewardship. they are not ego-awards or recognition of any kind of achievement, nor do they make anyone special. on the contrary, they make one uniquely unimportant. only then, from a position of no-ego, can we truly be of service.

In order to get a more indepth insight on Munay-Ki and the message of the Incas, you can check out Alberto Villoldo as his teachings focus heavily on these ideas. His book is the Four Insights or his Four Winds society

no frills yoga from tibet

Tibetan Yoga  is fast and kinda fun. It’s a complete yoga system which promotes union between mind, body and spirit. The Five Tibetan Rites is a system of exercises reported to be more than 2,500 years old. The rites are said to be a form of Tibetan Yoga similar to the more well-known yoga series that originated in India, but the five rites emphasize "a continuous sequence of movement", whereas the Indian forms focus on "static positions".  And you can do it in 10 minutes!

If you continue this practice for at least two weeks (once a day) I promise you, you will feel a difference for the better.  Check out Tibetan Yoga for diagrams.

First Rite: clockwise spinning: inhale and exhale deeply as you spin.
Second Rite: inhale deeply while lifting the head and legs; exhale while lowering the head and legs.
Third Rite: inhale as the spine arches back; exhale as the spine returns to an erect position.
Fourth Rite: inhale while rising up; hold the breath while in the top position and tense the muscles; exhale while returning to the starting position.
Fifth Rite: inhale while raising the body; exhale while lowering the body.

Breathe.  Then enjoy your day.  ;) 

flower of life

The "Flower of Life" can be found all over the world.. in religious artifacts as well as home decor.. It is the secret of the universe. It contains the patterns of creation as they emerged from the "great void", and the patterns of creation that continue to this day.

After the creation of the Seed of Life the same vortex's motion was continued, creating the next structure known as the egg of life.
this structure forms the basis for music, as the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between the tones and the half tones in music. It also is identical to the cellular structure of the third embryonic division (one cell divides into two cells, then to four cells then to eight).  This same structure creates the human body and all of the energy systems including the ones used to create a Merkaba.

The Flower of Life is created by drawing 13 circles. By doing this, one can discover the most important and sacred pattern in the universe, the source of all that exists; this is called the Fruit of Life. It contains 13 informational systems. Each one explaining another aspect of reality these systems are able to give us access to everything ranging from the human body to the galaxies. With this, it's possible to create any molecular structure and any living cellular structure that exists in the universe. In short every living creature.

Drunvalo Melchizedek wrote extensively on the Flower of Life in his two volumes entitled The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life.  I have read both and been crazily inspired.  I am not the first nor the last artist to be inspired though, as Drunvalo tells us that this Flower of Life can be found as the basis of many great works of art and architecture; on temples walls in Egypt, in Leonardo da Vinci's sketch books.  I even found the design on a random fence as I was strolling down some street in Macau.  huh.

I have many, many paintings on the Flower of Life.. two of my favourites  hang across from each other in my bedroom.  I never get tired of staring into the maze of circles.  Drunvalo says that the double circle around the outside is our current consciousness, so I took that part out and let it open, with the brushstrokes fading off as I believe we are moving to the next level of consciousness... or so I hope.

Watch Drunvalo talk about the Flower of Life... so.. so interesting!
