Spiritual Shamanic Initiation - The Munay Ki (Certified)

Unless you already have a special peaceful place set up in your home I suggest you challenge yourself to create a "sacred space" somewhere within your living area. Perhaps you are fortunate enough to have an extra room you can use to retreat to when you need some time to yourself. When it is time for a child to leave the nest consider converting the newly evacuated bedroom into a sacred space rather than making it into a guest room that is only used occasionally. Do not feel as if you must wait until you have a spare room to create this spirit filled space. Consider opening up any corner and building an altar there, or empty a closet of its clutter and place a couple of pillows upon the floor for use in quiet prayer or meditation.

Please share a photo of your sacred space on the forum.

Once you have chosen the space, clear the entire room where your sacred space will exist (even if only a corner is being used). A fresh coat of paint on the walls might be nice. Incorporate household rules as to who is and who is not allowed into this space. Is this to be your space alone or can other family members use it when you aren't using it? Select pleasing visuals, I strongly suggest to find a picture of the four archetype animals and place them in the corners, serpent in the south, jaguar in the west, hummingbird the north and eagle in the east. This is your Sacred Space surroundings and it should be reflective of you and your spiritual and other belief systems.

I like to fill my Sacred Space with an eclectic array of items that I have collected or been gifted over the year. From a handful of seashells, coins (promised prosperity), a chunk of amethyst, a my obsidian and rose quartz balls, my witches swords and wands, are all spittle rocket to me. It is your space make it for you and enjoy the process.

Once your space is in place you will likely want to honor it by doing some type of ritual, be it Native American, casting a gypsy spell, giving a prayer of gratitude, or blessing it in whatever way best aligns with your belief system. You will soon find yourself drawn to this sacred space more and more as you seek the solace and restfulness it provides. You begin to wonder how you ever lived without this Sacred Space that offers much healing, comfort and warmth. I suggest you smudge the area with white sage and burn incense if it calls you.

Power Animals

In the shamanic belief every thing is alive and carries with it power and wisdom. Power animals are an essential component of shamanic practice. They are the helping spirit which add to the power of the shaman and are essential for success in any venture undertaken by the shaman. 

Shamans believe that everyone has power animals - animal spirits which reside with each individual adding to their power and protecting them from illness, acting similarly to a guardian angel. Each power animal that you have increases your power so that illnesses or negative energy cannot enter your body. The spirit also lends you the wisdom of its kind. A hawk spirit will give you hawk wisdom, and lend you some of the attributes of hawk.Everyone is thought to have a few of these guardian power animals or it is thought that the individual could not survive childhood. Over the course of her or his life the person may have several. If a power animal leaves and one does not come to take its place the individual is considered, by the shaman, to be disempowered and therefore vulnerable to illness and bad luck. 

Power animals do not have to be mammals and can be reptiles, insects or sea creatures. Any living creature can serve as a power animal. (Plants and trees can serve as plant spirit guides.) Domesticated animals are generally not considered power animals because they already in service to human beings. It is possible to have a domesticated animal, but it is more likely to have a wild untamed animal serve in the capacity of a power animal. 

The gifts that a particular animal is thought to give an individual varies depending on the culture. Although there are certain consistencies for certain animals. A particular power animal can come to help you with an issue that is very specific for you.

When we do a chakra cleanse we bring in harmony, we open our communication centres and bring deep healing. Once our chakras are open and spinning in the right direction we feel a calmness, a profound peace of mind, and happiness in deep centred relaxation.  This is ideal for stress relief and increasing your energy.

The chakras are wheel-like vortices of energy which connect the physical body to its subtle energetic counterparts. In this article, we'll take a look at the seven main chakras, which play a key role in energy reception and transmutation.

The chakra system has been extensively studied and described in Eastern systems of philosophy and medicine, although Western science remains sceptical their very existence. Nonetheless, awareness of the body as an energy system is increasing among forward-thinking scientists, and the chakras continue to play an important role in a variety of holistic healing disciplines. This engages us deeply with infinity and spirit.

Although tiny chakras exist all over the body, the seven major chakras are located in a rough line between the top of the head and the base of the torso. They're often depicted as lotus flowers, with each chakra having a specific number of petals. Each is also associated with various colours, body parts, emotions and other attributes. Let's take a look at the seven chakras, starting from the bottom our base chakra Muladhara and working all the way up to our crown chakra Sahasrara

Although officially a part of the Harmony Rite - the third Rite the two-part chakra cleanse is given here in the introduction for many reasons. It is something that is a good practice for us to do at any time we are feeling the need to reconnect and renew our soul selves. Plus I was specifically asked to place it here by a great number of students who felt very disconnected to the spirit world. Spirituality is such an individual thing and personally I believe a little cleansing before we start is a terrific idea. So thank you to my soul brother and sister students for your profound spiritual insights.

Base Chakra

Direct your attention to your Base Chakra located at the base of your spine. Visualize a spinning Red disk about the size of your hand. This chakra contains the energy of stability and strength. Envision a spiral vortex of energy coming up through the base of the spine, dissipating the energy of any worries or anxiety you have. Take a few moments to visualize and feel this energy.

Muladhara (your base Chakra) is the first and lowest major chakra point in your body. Governing your sense of physical and mental stability and security, your anxieties, fears and your sex drive.

By opening up your base chakra you will be able to:

• Feel more secure and stable, both physically and mentally. You will be able to face your fears with ease because of your newfound stability - it will no longer be able to stop you from reaching for your dreams.

• Feel much calmer in stressful situations than you’re used to. Stress affects us all, but you are able to deal with it better when your root chakra is open.

• Feel much more enthusiastic to have some bedroom fun with your partner. As the root chakra is the lowest chakra in our body, it tends to deal with our instincts - it is our sexual root as well

• By opening your base chakra you gain an overwhelming sense of courage, motivation and confidence that will replace your anxiety and allow you to live the life you’ve always desired.

Visualize a spinning Orange disk about the size of your hand. Envision a spiral vortex of orange energy flowing up from the base chakra into the sacral chakra with ease and synchronicity. Take a few moments to visualize and feel the energy being drawn up through the earth, into your base chakra and effortlessly flowing into your sacral chakra. Move on to the next chakra when you feel confident these to lower chakras are free-flowing, open and aligned.

Swadhisthana (The Sacral Chakra) is the second major chakra located in your pelvic area. It is the chakra that helps you see things clearly, helps fuel your creative genius and feel more joy in life.

By opening your sacral chakra you will be able to:

• Feel the creative surge coming back on so you will easily think of new ideas or creative solutions to old problems.

• Get your brain from first to fourth gear and think clearly without anyone or anything clouding your judgment which leads to making quality decisions.

• Feel passion for life and find joy in the simplest of things - essentially by looking at life through different eyes you will experience joyful feelings that you didn’t allow yourself to feel before.

• Feel peace inside and easily express how you feel without making an emotional attachment to what you’re saying.

• Figure out who you truly are by tapping into the universal consciousness.

• By opening up your sacral chakra you will be able to get clear about what you want out of life which will result in enhanced focus, great problem-solving skills, emotional stability and a surge of passion, joy and creativity.

Further envision the spiral vortex of healing energy flowing up from the earth through the (red) root chakra, through the  (orange) sacral chakra and into the (yellow) solar plexus chakra. Take a  few moments to focus on how these chakras are delivering healing energy to the entire lower half of your body.

Manipura (The Solar Plexus Chakra) is the third major chakra located in your stomach above your belly button. It is your ‘personal power’ chakra that can help you tap into your personal power, get over procrastination and dramatically increase your energy levels.

By opening up your solar plexus chakra you will be able to:

• Get more control over your thoughts and emotions as a result of greater personal power.

• Own your emotional state and control your reactions - you will be more positive and stop worrying - thus gaining a huge advantage over the old you.

Heart Chakra

Moving on to the heart chakra, we now visualize a spinning emerald green disk, the size of your hand, located in the centre of your chest.  The heart chakra is particularly important because it is the gateway from the lower chakras (or earthly energies) into the higher self or higher state of consciousness and being. Visualize the spiral vortex of energy feeding and spinning your heart chakra. Be mindful not to allow the heart chakra to be too large or too small, it should be about the size of your hand. This is important as all your chakras should be the same size and be synchronized to work together. If your heart chakra is too open or completely closed, this will create a great disturbance in your physical, mental/emotional and spiritual well-being. That said,  spend a few minutes visualizing all 4 chakras working together with the vortex of healing energy.

Anahata (The Heart Chakra) is the fourth major chakra located in your heart area. It is the chakra that helps you feel more love and connection with the rest of the world.

By opening up your heart chakra you will be able to:

Throat Chakra

We now reach the throat chakra (the location is self-explanatory. Throat chakra healing is particularly important in those too scared to communicate, or talk too much and never listen. Visualize a brilliant blue disk about the size of your hand spinning in the centre of the throat area. Allow the spiral vortex to move upward from the heart and now feeding the movement of the spinning chakra. You know the drill by now! Take a moment to visualize all chakras working together in harmony.

Third Eye Chakra

The third eye chakra is located between your eyebrows in the centre of the forehead. Visualize a spinning indigo disk about the size of your hand rotating in the centre of your forehead. The health this chakra is critical in spiritual development and it is considered the centre of all psychic capabilities, intuition and is said to be the window to the soul. Take a few minutes to visualize a healthy third eye chakra and allow the spiral vortex of healing energy to flow through your brow chakra. When you feel comfortable, move on to the Crown Chakra

Ajna (The Brow Chakra), it is also known as the Third Eye, is the chakra found between your eyebrows and is the sixth of the seven major chakras. Your third eye guides your intuition and self-awareness, while also helping you defeat your fears.

By opening your third eye you will be able to:

• Have a constant connection with your highest self which will allow you to make sound decisions even when there’s a lack of information;

• You will be able to use your sixth sense effectively by picking up information from outside your normal sensory range.

Crown Chakra

  The crown chakra is located at the top of your head and is associated with the colour violet. Just as our root chakra connects and grounds us to the earth, the crown chakra connects us to the divine, or heavens. Now envision a spinning violet disk at the top of your head and allow the vortex energy to fill the crown chakra with healing light and clearing away any negative or dark energies. From there allow the energy to flow out the crown, creating a  continuous flow of energy from the earth connecting to the divine. As you can see by now, the energy vortex has no beginning and no end. You are allowing its continuous flow to travel through your chakras and body, creating peace and balance. Spend as much time as you feel necessary to complete this final step.

Sahasrara (The Crown Chakra) is found at the top of your head and is the seventh and the highest of the seven major chakras. An open crown chakra means you can find the truth within and tap into the universal consciousness so you always have a strong connection with the universe.

By opening up your crown chakra you will be able to:

• Experience the universal consciousness that resides within ourselves.

• Figure out the truth of who you really are and experience true enlightenment.

• Feel connected to the world and the universe.

• Tap into the knowledge of universal consciousness.

• Open up your mind, transcend the physical world and understand that there is more to life than what we can physically experience.

“The Eighth Chakra is located in the aura. the magnetic field generated by a human being that surrounds him or her up to nine feet in every direction. The quality of the aura reveals the personality in the projection of power or the depression of defeat.”  -Yogi Bhajan

The Eighth Chakra is the aura. The aura combines the effects of all the other chakras. To experience this, imagine yourself rising high above your physical body. As you look down at the radiant light of the aura, it appears to be an oval or a circle of light.

This chakra is often referred to as the circumvent force, the strength of the energy shell that surrounds all the other chakras. It, too, is a chakra, a circle, a vortex of energy, a place to focus the flows of universal energy. When the circumvent field is strong, negative influences are automatically filtered. When it is weak, you seem vulnerable to everything that passes by or through you.

The source of the eight chakra is the ninth chakra, which exists outside the luminous energy field and extends throughout the cosmos, beyond time and space which is always crystalline and pure. This is where we can experience the magnificent expanse of creation.

Dance freely feeling your way into the ninth chakra is where we reside within the Creator. To reach this area, we ascend the silver cord of light that rises up from the eighth chakra. There is only one ninth chakra, for there is only one of us in Spirit.

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24

This is a sacred deeply moving time, great spirit is listening to your hopes and dreams. Enter this spiritual sanctuary of the fire ceremony with great awe and reverence. Where ever you are - be it inside with a candle, outside with a greater fire or using the suns rays.Be at peace and know you are being nourished.

The Healers Rite connects you to a lineage of luminous beings Earthkeepers of the past and they come to assist you in your personal transformation working with us in our sleep and meditation time to heal the wounds of our past and that of our ancestors. This rite awakens the healing power in your hands so that everyone you touch is blessed.

A Prayer to Begin your Spirit Filled Journey

"The universe contains three things that cannot be destroyed:

Being,

Awareness

and Love.

To know what love really is,

you must first discover

that you are love.

Heal the wounds within to

know your true self,

for you are love.

When you ask,

who am I?

the answer is

I am love.

See every other answer

as an illusion

that will eventually

pass away." Anon

May the lightness and spiritual winds whisper gently to you on the winds of love and change.

The Healers Rite – This is a lineage rite, connecting us to the medicine people who have come before us and establishing the recognition of the spiritual journey we have undertaken. These medicine people were aware of their ability to impact those around them through their touch or presence. Lineage rites connect us to those that came before and allow us to receive the support and assistance of the healers of all time – past and future. This rite is the activation of our ability to positively affect the people and world around us. We are connected to the lineage of Earthkeepers from the past that who assist us in our personal healing on a spiritual level which in turn impacts positively on our physical being. The wounds of the past and of our ancestral spirit line are healed during meditation and sleep time.

You may prefer to follow me in person as I open sacred medicine space. Thus I have added this for our spiritual journey together. Please stand and work this opening of our sacred space together. Place your left hand over your heart and extend your right arm towards the direction as we call it. You may draw your right hand to heart centre when we move to the next direction.

This is filmed in a place that is very sacred imbued deeply with the spirit of great Eagle and the medicine women of times long gone however still felt strongly as you walk and breath the land.

It is not necessary for you to do both lecture 5 and 6 essentially they are very similar; slightly different wording. Simply check the complete box on the bottom right hand corner to move onwards.

Hello my dear friends

either close your eyes moving with me as you listen, or watch and move, breathing with me. This is a subtle opening out into prana mudra, freeing your spine. Inviting the wonders of oxygen to move with you inhaling and exhaling. I love the simplicity and gentle joy of this mediation. It will help open you to prepare for receiving the Healers Rite.

Inhale - open up and out

Exhale - close and draw down

Originally this was a part of lecture 17, however a few of you asked if I could make it a stand alone. Here it is! Enjoy.

Music is both a grace and an amazing way to feel into the spiritual dreaming of the Rite. Let yourself go and allow the music and feelings of the Rite to take you gently on its wings.

Allow the music to filter through connecting you with mother Jaguar in your sacral chakra, great eagle in your heart chakra and Lord Quetzalcoatl in your third eye chakra. Let the music vibrate bringing this Rite alive.

The fire ceremony is a key practice of the Munay-Ki. Bringing in the light and warmth of the fire germinates the seeds that have been received in the Luminous Energy Field.

The fire ceremony is the sacred practice that supports the growth and integration of the Munay-Ki in your luminous field. The "sacred" is that in the everyday world which captures our connection with the divine. It may be man-made, a sacred temple or cloth, or it may be a natural place or object, such as river, a mountain, or a stone. Objects become sacred when they are recognized as meaningful; they somehow act as a symbol or connection, for the observer.

In the context of the Munay-Ki transmissions, the sacred fire serves as a connection. It consumes fuel, and gives warmth and light. Those energies in our lives which no longer are serving us, these can be given to the fire to consume. The new dream we are dreaming, the destiny we are reaching toward, this can be brought to the fire to be nurtured and conveyed to the forces of nature, the divine spirits which support us. And the fire can be brought into our luminous body to warm and germinate these seed-form transmissions, the Munay-Ki rites.

It's good to do a fire ceremony once a month, traditionally on the full moon or new moon. And it can be very simple, taking no more than 3-4 minutes. The important thing about ceremony is to bring your attention to that place of connection -- the sacred. You may want to perform the fire ceremony shortly after meditation, or after doing the breathing exercise and guided work with the archetypes and bands. Allow your attention to come to your self, your own energy, as it resides in your body.

Well done, you have seeded the first Rite of the Munay Ki - the Healers Rite. May deep healing rest with you as you shed the layers that no longer serve you. May this assist you in awakening the healing power in your hands so that everyone you touch is blessed and aim to heal the wounds of the past and your ancestors.

Why is the Healer's Rite the first Rite?

This is a delightful Rite to receive as the spiritual bands of protection are woven into your etheric being. I have had plenty of use for the divine protection these Rites gift to us. Negativity simply bounces away and those daggers that may be thrown our way can no longer find their way into our being.

Personally I love opening Sacred Space, I allow it to take flying into the realms of possibility, the vision of an expanded life open before be as I draw deeply within that divine spiritual space.

Freeing the ribs is a powerful to prepare you for receiving the bands of power. The circular motion engages you with the swirling nature of life and that of great spirit, helping to seed the bands of luminous protective light energy.

A Prayerful thought to begin this journey:

There is a holiness permeating everything.
The senses cannot grasp it and
Images cannot represent it.

It is totally free -
Free to appear as form,
Free to appear beyond form.

Heart and body and mind in unison,
Attend to the unimaginable realm.
An awakening will be born in you
As you join with That,
Which you alreay are,

Vinjnana Bhairava Tantra -
Translation by Lorin Roche The Radiance Sutras

Bands of Power – Through intention, five colored bands of light are installed in the luminous energy field, consciously connecting us with the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and pure spirit. Once installed, these bands of power act as a natural energetic system of protection, deflecting any unusable or un-beneficial energy. This energy may also be mulched by the bands and used for food. In either case, we are protected spiritually in a way that allows any old defensive, fear based or unconscious shielding to fall away. The installation of the Bands of Power creates a natural space between us and the outside world – including the onslaught of unnecessary thought forms. We become connected to everything and everyone in a new, relaxed and natural way.

Welcome to the Religious and Spirituality Section of Personal Development at Udemy

The Bands of Power was the second Munay-Ki rite I was given, In this rite five energetic spiritual bands – representing the elements of earth, water, fire, air and pure light of Spirit – are woven into your energy field. They act as filters breaking down any negative energies that you encounter into one of these five elements. They also expand while you are out in nature allowing you to be fed energetically by Mother Earth.

I found this to be a very beautiful rite to receive- very loving and nurturing and immediately felt somehow stronger and more centred in my being.Since receiving this transmission I find I automatically choose to push out the Bands of Power when I am in situations where I might previously have felt challenged by other people's diverse energies or when I have experienced conflicting energies. I now feel stronger and more ready to engage from a more heart-centred and authentic place within me. I have become more sensitive to nature and notice the cyclical changes in plants and trees more than ever. I linger longer in those places. In the busy, sometimes over-hectic life most of us lead, the Bands of Power, are very practical and allow us to stay truer to ourselves as we communicate with those around us

Move freely to feel the bands confirm around your luminous energy field. Dream lighten and weave them into being. Your heat and body will show you the way to move.

A fire ceremony is a common to many Shamanic traditions. You can practice it anytime, I usually perform one every full moon. You do not have to wait for a full moon in order to do a fire ceremony. Fire Ceremonies are wonderful during a New Moon, anytime you want to strengthen the Rites you have received, call of great Spirit and set said so time..

I often do a fire ceremony by myself during the New Moon and I've done them many times with friends in the backyard where we dug a small pit in the ground in order to build a safe fire. I've also used a large clay pot, a campfire, a bonfire or an old barbecue grill, and candles. Here in Australia be careful outside, make sure you are not contravening fire bans.

Well done, you have received the Bands of Power, the second Rite of the Munay Ki. A Sacred Spirituality pathway has been restored with the five luminous belts that are woven into your luminous energy field (LEF) for protection. They aim to act as filters, breaking down any negative energy that comes toward you, into one of the five elements. These energies then feed your LEF instead of making you sick.

The Harmony Rite: Seven archetypes are transmitted into your seven chakras. This rite helps you to develop a ‘rainbow body’ and to shed your past the way serpent sheds her skin. When your chakras are aligned and open, your mind and body work in harmony, making your actions more effective in the world.

Harmony Rite – Allies from the natural archetypal world are installed as seeds into each chakra, creating harmony, healing and transformation. These allies actively work on our behalf to cleanse any heavy energies and allow our fullness of being, our luminous body to emanate from our physical body. Performing a number of fire meditations is necessary to germinate and grow the seed. This rite affects our spiritual journey, relationships and our physical body in a positive uplifting way. Power animal energies of Serpent, Jaguar, Hummingbird and Eagle are placed in the first four chakras. Guides to the realms of the unconscious, conscious and superconscious are placed in the remaining three chakras. Once fully activated, these allies will continuously work at removing residue of traumatic events lodged in our chakras so they can sparkle with the original light intended. Here we shed the past as the serpent sheds her skin – easily and effortlessly.

We will do a full chakra cleanse in this section to align them ready to receive the seeds of this Rite.

A Spirally infused prayerful thought to begin:

The Heart of listening to your being

contains four words you know well

Ear

Hear

Heat

Art

So in the Rite

not only lend your ear,

but hear with your whole being

the heat of your soul chakras

will burn up the past

from inside to outside

from outside to inside

the art of being will be.

look into the depths of wonder

until you merge into space.

Harmony Rite - Introduction

In the 'harmony rites' we receive 'seeds' of certain archetypes in our seven major chakras. We receive them as spiritual seeds that we can grow as we work with them…..at the same time these connections to these energies are already there….this rite enhances and strengthens connection that is already there, often giving it a form our mind can understand.

These archetypical energies are represented by the animals and three other spiritual archetypical guide energies

In the base chakra, we plant the spirit seeds of the serpent

In the sacral chakra, we plant the spirit seeds of the jaguar

In the solar plexus chakra, we plant the spirit seeds of hummingbird

In the heart chakra, we plant the spirit seeds of the eagle

In the throat chakra, we plant the spirit seeds of the gatekeeper lord Huascar

In the third eye chakra, we plants the spirit seeds of Quetzelcoatl.

In the crown chakra, we plants the spirit seeds of Pachakuti

When we journey to these worlds, we can meet these guides, it is a great gift to be able to work with their energies.

This is chakra cleanse we visualise a coloured ball of energy in each of our main chakra centre - we see this cleared and open. We make a happy space and connectedness within the core of our being. We connect above through to infinity and down deep into our Earth mother.

This is the chakra cleanse you were introduced to earlier. It is important, even if you did it earlier in the introduction please do not skip this step. It really does set you up for receiving the divine clearly spiritual Harmony Rite.

Regular chakra cleanses can uplift your life by clearing out and enlivening your vital energy centres. It is a direct way to heal ourselves on the physical, emotional, and mental levels. This facilitates awakening to ourselves as spiritual beingness, as the truth of who we are.

This Rite is truly liberating. For me once I received this Rite I felt whole, I felt healed inside and out from the shadows that had swirled around me. It was as if I could breath freely for the first time in many many moons. This is a deeply enriching spiritually charged transformational Rite.

“the shaman knows that there is a sea of consciousness, that is universal, even though we each perceive it from our own shores, awareness and a world that we all share, that can be experienced by every living being, yet is self, seen by any. and the shaman is master of this world. he lives with one foot in this world, and one foot in the world of spirit”

Great Spirit has called you, go softly my friends.

Whether you use candle light, a camp fire, the sun or a fire lite in your meditative heart, the fire ceremony is the means to grow these potent spiritual seeds and allow the to bloom

Well done - you have now completed the Harmony Rite - the third Rite of the Munay Ki has blessed you with connections with 7 Archetypes directly into the chakras. First, you received serpent, jaguar, hummingbird and eagle; next, you received three archangels: the Keeper of the Lower World (unconscious), the Keeper of the Middle World (conscious), and the Protector of the Upper World (your superconscious).

Seers Rite - improves your psychic ability and intuition

Five pathways of light are woven from the third eye to the visual cortex in the back of the head and two pathways of light are woven from the heart Chakra to the visual cortex. This infusion of spiritual fuel is the or energy is the process of the reawakening of the shaman's sight. Our conditioned sight has to do with observations in the literal world around us. The Seer's Rite unlocks our natural ability to receive information from the many dimensions that are part of our lives but have remained “invisible”. With this ability in place, we will see the shadow and light in ourselves and others more clearly and develop a most compassionate heart.

Welcome to the Religious and Spirituality Section of Personal Development at Udemy

I simply love the enlivening brightening pathways that light up when I engage with the Seers Rite. The necklace of light pulses vibrantly and fluidly as I tune into these gifts. The Munay Ki has enriched my life in many ways. May it be the same for you as you continue on this Shamanic Initiation pathway.

Be patient with the Seers Rite - this Rite will enhance your psychic intuition.

Off up your shadow and allow yourself to fall deeply into the grace of this meditation to help you receive the Seers Rite. We are entering wonder-filled spiritual realms of possibility. Everywhere we see our dreams and they are our reality gifted in vision and light. Really start to look deep inside as we prepare to enhance our psychic intuition and connection to the spirit world.

The spiritual world of auras and energies may be new to you, again I remind you to practice loving kindness towards yourself. Forcing yourself to try and see will not work, allow it to settle and manifest and it surely will.  This Rite will become rocket fuel your psychic intuition. Relax - practice patience and your intuition centres will open.

The fire ceremony for the Seer's Rite is very special - from the flames, we can often see your psychic intuitive centres simply open before us. It is as if the fire allows us to see for the very first time.

Shamans perform fire ceremonies for releasing, cleansing and balancing. Fire ceremonies are essential to purifying the body, spirit and heart, and can be used for healing and creating fruition in our lives. Thus we grow the seed gifts of the Munay Ki with the fire ceremony.

The fire is an ideal place to re-connect to your Oneness with the  Universe. By honouring Pachamama (Mother Earth), Great Spirit, the  Angelic light Being, and those who came before us and will come after us, you will re-orient yourself as to your true place in the Universe.

We bring an offering to the fire as a gift. It is something that is made from nature that is burnable - a stick, flower, pinecone, etc.  Spend some time with the item, and with your intention, blow into the offering whatever you want to release, heal, or bring into your life.  When you approach the fire, say a prayer of gratitude and make your offering.

Through a fire ceremony, energy bound in old ways can be freed to move in a new direction. We symbolically release something that no  longer serves a useful purpose, and claim the energy we invest in that  old behaviour pattern for a new purpose

Shamanic Initiation requires much from you - you must engage fully in the process in order to fulfil your destiny. This Seers Rite aims to offer and install extra-cerebral pathways of light that connect your visual cortex with the third eye and heart chakras. This process seeks to awaken the inner seer within you and your ability to perceive the invisible world of energy and spirit.  The Seers Rite will enhance your psychic intuition.

The Daykeepers Rite, is the Rite of the Divine Feminine. It helps awaken within us an appreciation for our feminine gifts. Both male and female people have the capacity to access and use the gifts of the feminine, and it is said that we must reconnect with our feminine side before we can know and embody the true nature of the masculine. As Daykeepers we become the midwives of birth and death, work in community, celebrate the milestones of life: marriages, children, adulthood, croning etc.. And we receive the spiritual gifts that come through relationship with others.

Creating a sacred spiritual space is like giving yourself a loving embrace from the cosmos. It's a way of both loving ourselves and honouring the divinity that flows through all things. Our personal sacred space can be like a sanctuary to help us realign with higher consciousness, whenever we lose touch. It is somewhere that reminds us of our innate spiritual nature, resounding a vibration that takes us back to our divine beingness. It's amazing how quickly we can flow back to divinity, if we lovingly tend a space for that very purpose. It can become a highly charged portal to the divine.

This Rite reconnects us with the feminine divine. Have you felt the presence of Isis, or the priestesses of Avalon, or mother Mary, deeply with our Earth? This is the feminine divine. Enjoy the peace and connection of this spiritual feminine thread of life.

Music adds a most delicious pattern in our bodies, opening gateways via a different means. Move with the music of my beautiful friend and mentor Christine Morrison, she is a local resident nearby my home.

DAY KEEPERS

The DayKeepers are the masters of the ancient stone altars, from Machu Picchu to Stone Henge. The Day keeper is able to call on the power of these ancient altars to heal and to bring balance to the world.

They are Mother Earth. The Feminine. Life Giving. Nurturing. Day Keepers are generally women, the midwives and herbalists of the world. The Day Keepers are about emotional healing.

According to lore, the Daykeepers drummed the Sun to rise each morning and to set each evening. This requires being present, in the now. They ensure that humans are in harmony with mother earth. The rhythms and cycles of life and death.

Qualities:
• Gentle
• Soothing
• Healing

Jobs:
• To help us step beyond fear into a place of peace.
• To ensure that people stay in harmony with Mother Earth. Re-connect with the indigenous traditions.

Important Role:
• To help heal scarcity & issues related to Lack.

Day keepers help us understand that abundance is about how full we are, not how much we have. The real measure of abundance is how rich your heart is.
Scarcity is a perception that we created.

Each of us envisions the Day Keepers differently.

These Rites are about returning to the garden, walking again in the Garden of Eden. Healing our inner feminine is about reconnecting with mother earth - she has every element of the feminine. It re-establishes that umbilical cord from us to our Mother Earth.

Closing sacred space is as important as opening it. It brings a natural conclusion to the Rite. It does not have to be long, you may simply thanks the fours directions, above and below great spirit like to be acknowledged too! Or if you have time take in the full ritual.

Well done you have completed the Daykeeper's Rite, the 4th spiritual Rite of the Munay Ki connecting you to a lineage of master healers from the past. The Daykeepers assist in healing and bring balance to the earth and bring humans into harmony with mother earth. These master healers are the midwives and herbalists of the past. This Rite aims to assist you in healing your inner feminine, stepping beyond fear, and practising peace.

The Wisdomkeepers Rite

The Wisdom Keepers rite heals and balances our masculine energy with the feminine energy of the Day Keepers Rite. We must decide who we are, and, stand up for that. The Wisdom Keepers of the world ask you to care enough to take a stand, as lovingly as possible.

Associated with the Great Mountains of the earth. Within these mountains is retained all the spiritual wisdom and knowledge of the earth.

The Wisdom Keepers Rite is the seat of soul healing. We are still in the garden, we are still whole regardless of the life experience we've chosen. Healing those parts of our spirit and soul which have been damaged and disentangled occurs by remembering that we are all Spirit, all teaspoons of God. Here we learn the difference between information and knowledge. The difference between data and knowing what to do with it.

This is where we step into that intuitive knowing. We don't need affirmation or reference. The Shaman is Self referencing.

The feeling of the Wisdom Keepers is strong, solid, powerful & slightly aloof. They don't rush to us, you must choose to go there. If you want what their wisdom, you must go to them, ask them & they'll share it. It's like sitting at the feet of our Grandmothers and Grandfathers.

We join the Ancients who step out of time. We go into Circular time. Used for distance work. Wisdom keepers confer on us the privilege of stepping out of time.

Job:
• To protect and to share the medicine teachings of the ages.

Important Role:
• To help heal the wounds from former lifetimes.

Before you begin pause a moment and reflect on what you you like to bring into your life. If you can turn this into a short sentence in the present form ie "I am eating healthy food to nourish my being" then do so and hold this in your heart as you open sacred space. It doing so you are weaving your intention with the sacred to assist it manifesting for you. Remember great Spirit is listening to your seed dreams.

We are heading into the realms of ancient knowledge wisdom, that which your spiritual hearts have always known. What wisdom from your parents, grandparents, threads of knowing are within you? Ask great spirit from your heart.

Join the wisdom keepers and connect deeply with the ancient store house of wisdom that is gifted for us all to live an abundant life by.

Go to the high sacred spiritual mountains of our beautiful planet allowing your heart and soul to join with those who know infinity. As you surely do, this Rite reconnects you with all time.

Imagine you are standing on one of the high spiritual mountain tops, the gifts of wisdom, ancient teachings within you are calling you home. Answer the call and live a more authentic spirit infused "you",

This Rite aims to assist you to begin to heal your inner masculine, step outside of time and become steeped in the medicine teachings

Spiritual growth is not linear

The fire ceremony not only seeds the Rites but is a process of purification. Purification is a necessary part of growth. Only by purifying the veil of ego, purifying our past impressions, can the inner light of our true Self shine.

You are being called home to your Spiritual Munay Ki loving heart - look after your heart home - our Earth mother. Connecting you to the archangels that are guardians of our galaxy and stewards of life on Earth. It aims to connect you to the stars and the sun and assists you learn the ways of the seer and dream the world into being

Starkeeper’s Rite: This rite anchors you safely and effectively transitioning into the future - the system we live under is fighting in its death throes. The seeds of change everywhere - you are called to be a seed, an agent of change for when you receive this rite, your physical body begins to evolve into that of Homo Luminous, the aging process is slowed down, your DNA is re-informed, and you become more resistant to disease.
We step into that light body, that luminous being . Helps us

step away from colluding with consensual reality & be unaffected by

the fear mongering which impacts how we act and react. We don't want to

get sucked into the drama of what's physically happening. This is not

the end of everything. We can change it. It is worth trying. We want to

be beyond the time of the great change.

Between now and

then we hope to reach critical mass and achieve spontaneous

transmission. Shifting perspective shifts power. Goal to influence those

people who can make big changes. A problem cannot be solved at the

level at which it was created.

Rainbow body is about creating your luminous self. Live differently, act differently. Our luminous body affects how we feel.

Even our lineages have done their job. I can choose to always be an

Earth Keeper, because they touched me, but their jobs in my life are now

done.

Let the stars assist your journey. Let them help you with a particular issue.

Protocol:

Our job is to go through the chakras, we go beyond the archetypes.

As you go to install the 8th rite, you go through the chakra, if

there is an archetype there you try to go around the archetype..

Access the star through the portal of the chakra to get the feeling

and colour and bring it back and anchor it into the chakra.

Pi Stone - portal to step out of time (key to going through the portal)

- step between ordinary and non-ordinary reality. You can do it with or

without a pi stone.

Reside in your heart. Either move with the divinely inspired spiritual bound dream music of Christine Morrison that takes us into the realm. Or sit/lay comfortably and allow the music to seed into your heart centre. his helps you prepare to receive the Star Keepers Rite.

We continue spiritual dreaming our lives into being. Know that the stars are shining brightly, spirit lights just for you. Know that this is your time, here and now to shine the radiant lights of love .

If you are able, going outside and laying underneath a star filled sky will fill you with joy and assist the passage of the Rite. Personally I spend as much time as I can outside in the evenings receiving star charged wisdom. I find it spiritual invigorating to take a star bath.

Would you like this lecture as an audio only addition to make it easier to go outside? Email me and I will do if if you wish it to be.

How divinely spiritual and wonder filled if you have an outside fire to fire this Rite. Underneath the stars, dripping with love and wonderment.

Well done the spiritual starkeeper's rite resides with you here on our Munay Ki pathway. The Starkeeper’s Rite aims to anchor you safely to the time after the great change (2012) and assist your physical body to evolve into homo luminous.
