When Pizzaro arrived in the first half of the 16th Century in Peru, the lives of the Inca, 'the people of energy' were
forever changed. Conquest, disease and civil war spared a few to flee to cities in the high Andes like Machu Picchu, where
it has been said that 'no Spaniard in his right mind would follow.' For 500 years they were to live in isolation and await
for the time when the world would need them again.
The Q'ero are the last direct descendants of those Inca. The call themselves the Children of Inti (the Sun). These mountain
Shamans of different levels (Altumisayuq, Pampamisayuq) still have a high reputation, and have begun to bring their knowledge
down from the mountains for the benefit of the world and its healing. They worship Mother Earth (Pachamama) and believe that
mountains like Apu Ausangate in Peru as well as the other great mountains of the Earth are the sources of ancient wisdom long
forgotten in today's world of technology. Only recently has science and quantum mechanics shown that there may be more to
their ancient wisdom than lore.
The Q'ero tell us of turning points (Pachacutti) when one age replaces another. Legend tells of the first age, the time
of the first men who disappeared with the coming of the sun. The first Inca subsequently appeared during the first age.
The current age (Kay Pacha) was initiated by the arrival of the Spanish and the violent death of the Inca king, Inkarri,
who afterwards raptured to the sanctuary Paititi. The time of the Incas is often referred to as the Kay Pacha which is also
the age of the sun (Inti). This age will end with another Pachakutiy when Inkarri returns converting everything into gold
and silver (Taripay Pacha).
The Q'ero are now beginning to share their wisdom and healing methods. The teach us how to live our lives 'in the moment',
full of spirit and bliss 'dreaming our own world into existence.' We come to realize that we are much, much more than the
stories that have bound us to a life a stress and dis-ease. Once shed, we make room for our new, healthy lives, where it
is possible to manifest our bliss without feeling stalked by time or death.
You will experience these empowerments for yourself as part of your Munay-Ki session.
